In what way(s), if you can elaborate?

Meanwhile GPT-5.3-Codex which just released recently is a huge change and much better. It now displays intermediate thinking summaries instead of being silent.

Its not just a telltale sign. Its a fact.

I suspect it depends on the customer/target audience. If you target developers, open source vs closed source will make a difference. For others, customers probably don't even know what GitHub is.

This post on mutexes in the same OS also seems very interesting: https://www.kamkow1lair.pl/blog/MOP2/mutex-sync.html

I don't really get what you're arguing. Yes, battle hardened compilers are great. No, I can't write one in two weeks, and neither can a group of AI bots. The result is a heap of technical debt so unmanageably large that it&#x

Afaik the Linux Kernel strongly depends on GCC extensions and GCC specific behavior, so maybe that's why this is such an interesting part? Also extensions like inline assembly seem wildly complicated to add to an existing compiler WHIL

I wrote a couple hobby compilers. The only difficulty with C is the ambiguous syntax. Now compare the article's setup with a single senior engineer who uses an agent or two at the same time.

Yes a human can hack together a compiler in two weeks. If you can't, you should turn off the AI and learn for yourself for a while. Writing a compiler is not a flex; it's a couple very well understood problems, most of which can b

Fragmentation means competition, and competition is usually good as long as it lasts

Yes, except the calculator is right 100% of the time. LLMs are right ??% of the time, where ?? constantly changes, changes with prompts, etc.

It sounds like a hook, like "don't like all the space debris? use our management platform" and then it'll suddenly start costing money

I don't think you can get professionals to review code that you didn't even bother typing yourself. You aren't learning much. You're vibe coding, which means you learn almost nothing, except maybe prompting your LLM bett

Say it with me: If I wanted an AI written tool for this, I would have prompted an AI, not opened HN.

Work is value and produces sweat, and OpenAI sells just the sweat.

I fully agree. Not reading your own references should be grounds for banning, but that's impossible to check. Hallucinated references cannot be read, so by definition,they should get people banned.

If the messenger has anything to do with Russia, even after the fact, we should dismiss the message and remember to never look up.

A good way to do that with anything, I found, is a Makefile which downloads and compiles the few things it needs :D

Am I missing something here? UTF8 has multibyte characters, they're just spread across multiple bytes. When you strlen() a UTF8 string, you don't get the length of the string, but instead the size in bytes. Same with indices. If y

What about OBS for screen recording, obsidian for markdown editing (or vscode or any of the one million MD editors)? Why are the options either paid or vibe coded?

It feels weird to like "literally go read 1984" but this is kind of exactly the plot of Idiocracy so I can only agree

Definitely the combination of callgrind (valgrind --tool=callgrind) and kcachegrind, or the combination of HotSpot and perf. I have toyed with Intel's vTune, but I felt it was very hard to get running so its discouraging before you eve

That is a lot! But that's also an expensive vape, with way more tech than cheap ones. Here you can get one for ~10 Euro, and they are NOT rechargeable or anything.

To answer the headline: No. Rust is not faster than C. C isn't faster than Rust either. What is fast is writing code with zero abstractions or zero cost abstractions, and if you can't do that (because writing assembly sucks), get

That sounds sane and also completely different from GH Actions.
