I'm not trying to be obtuse, and correct me if I'm wrong, but "context" is just words, often rendered as markdown because it's easy for both LLMs and humans to produce and edit. Since its in a database and they&#x27

Lots of people have their own voice and tend to prefer certain phrases. This has been the case for a long time and is generally not a big issue. Now LLMs come along and they also have their own phrasing preferences. But now it's a prob

So instead of markdown files in a repo, it's markdown files in a nosql database?

Sure, maybe you can find a paint that is black in all bands except for the ones used by the satellite. It won't use carbon black.

by infogulch 3mo ago
The entire underside of these satellites is a big phased array antenna. Maybe you can paint it so it absorbs all the other wavelengths, but it would be counterproductive to absorb the radio wavelengths used by the antenna itself since groun

Couldn't we just permanently solve the stack copying issue by always using a per-stack base pointer + offset for all stack objects? Copy stack -> update base pointer -> done. Trying to access a stack object on a different thread?

Sure, but one might imagine that linkers are generic and reusable, so you can just pick one off the shelf instead of making a new one 1-1 for each language. Empirically this line of reasoning seems to be incorrect.

Neat! Barcodes are much more complex that I knew before looking into it. I used JsBarcode [1] to create a special barcode that reprograms a cheap barcode scanner we got on Amazon to be able to scan both UPS and FedEx tracking numbers. It is

Ah so the fork is permanent. How unfortunate, guess I need to avoid QNAP software entirely.

by infogulch 4mo ago
OpenZFS released the zpool expansion as stable last year. Hopefully QNAP is charting a path to allow their users to migrate from their fork to OpenZFS, though of course these kinds of things take time to develop. I would be really worried i

I'm happy to hear you really care about perf. I might have assumed io_uring would be the high throughput kernel interface for Linux. Can iroh run on a proxy server which forwards requests to backends that don't integrate with iroh

by infogulch 4mo ago
How does Iroh's performance compare to wireguard?

by infogulch 4mo ago
io_uring taught us that if syscalls are expensive, queue them up in a buffer with one syscall to transfer the thread to the os to process it. So, queue up the new process mutations in a buffer with a single syscall to process all of them in

Yes buffering / dropping on buffer overload is the right frame and the right way to do it in practice. I have seen it done properly. Yes it can cause some social friction but as long as your conversation partner is aware that because y

In my experience the driving-behavior part of my brain can run virtually autonomously, like how you don't really have to spend 100% of your brain to walk down the street. This means that the words-thinking part of my brain is almost co

While I agree that it doesn't make much sense to use a minimizer on code the reader could understand, the code-golfed byte count of a CVE repro communicates its complexity in a certain visceral way.

Radicle stores issue & PR data as git objects. This approach interests me because issue data is as important as the code so we should treat it with the same care as the code. I.e. a tamper-proof cryptographic chain, signed objects, dist

I'm happy that raw git + mailing lists works great for the linux project, but can the rest of us all agree we actually do need issues & PRs? And that it's super painful to lose all this context when platform hopping, or when t

Maybe one of the reasons why hosted postgres often disallows extensions is due to security concerns from loading arbitrary machine code on a shared host. I wonder if pgrx changes the calculus here.
