You're making assumptions about what kind of software people write. For a Hacker News degenerate, everything in the world revolves around bean-counting B2B SaaS CRUD crap, but it doesn't mean it's all there is to the world, r

Mmmm, I don't know maybe because your library DIDN'T EXIST before November 2025? Or perhaps for any other million reasons why people use Protobuf, and don't use Cap'n'proto and other 0-serialise libraries, like requ

If you're not into rootless Docker, but still want to improve sandboxing capabilities, consider alternative runtimes such as runsc (also known as gVisor) https://gvisor.dev/docs/

I thought there were ZKP constructions that produce forward-secret receipts, while allowing to re-vote so that only the last vote would count, without ever breaking the original receipt. The receipt would id candidate

Well, is it that you can't or that you won't? All you need to do is learn it, you know? The full x86 ISA for one is quite nasty, but there's a useful subset, and other architectures are much nicer in general. Asm is as basic

My writing could be erratic sometimes, but "flip flopping" is a bit unfair, don't you think? When they say "AI," I assume they mean LLM technology and its applications above all else; the so-called "intelligent

I'm finding it hard to identify any particulars in this piece, considering the largely self-defeating manner in which the arguments are presented, or should I say, compiled, from popular media. Had it not been endorsed by Stanford in s

Not only it's an opinion piece disguised as scientific "Article" with veneer of law, it has all the hallmarks of quackery: flowery language full of allegory and poetic comparisons, hundreds of superficial references from ever

I'm beginning to think it might be a US thing. Every time there's an ISP horror story, it's always the US.

I'm struggling to see your point. CREATE VIEW not only helps, yes, indeed it's oftentimes exactly all you need. If you have multiple access patterns, like having to "actually query deleted records" sometimes, somewhere,

It says so on the tin. "Escape the chokehold of hyperscalers" is all that matters, really. Everything else will follow nicely from it. Compute density is so good these days, you don't even need major datacenter investment. Th

You should stop using it anyway. Linkedin is a hunting ground for threat actors[1], and unless your part-time job is producing corposlop on industrial scale it amounts to little more than recruiter spam https://www.welivesecurity

We heard this story a million times, but who's to say what's Twitter really worth? Musk bought much more than a "barely profitable website" that day. And the liberal leaders should have seen this coming. Yet they were bu

> my ISP still gives me only a single IPv6 address This is criminal, and also incredibly uncommon. You should talk to your ISP, it's most definitely a misconfiguration of some kind, if not deliberate torture. Normally you get a &#x2

The snarky writing of "if you beat our best solution, send us an email and MAYBE we think about interviewing you" is really something, innit?

Yeah in my last job, unsupervised dataset-scale transformations amounted to 97% of all spending. We were using gemini 2.5 flash in batch/prefill-caching mode in Vertex, and always the latest/brightest for ChatGPT-like conversation

Never turn off your phone if you think you're in trouble; this creates an anomaly in the data, akin to acoustic shadow.

I really wish all these LessWrong, what is the meaning of intelligence types cared enough to study Wittgenstein a bit rather than hear themselves talk; it would save us all a lot of time.
