This should frankly be disqualifying for any company trying to go public. Super voting shares have their place but there's no scenario in which overall control of the company can be retained by super voting shareholders who make up a s

I need to understand what possible benefit there is to doing DCs in space. The cost would be, no pun intended, fucking astronomical. The cooling situation would make no sense at all -- the major up-and-coming application of DCs, LLM tra

This question has been easily answered by many companies. You, the IC, the developer prompting the code extruder, are ultimately responsible for its outputted code and its behaviour. You may feel pressured to push out thousands of lines of

What's the nightmare deadline? I'm guessing it's October 14, but what happens then?

Show HN has a long history of people just posting random shit they’ve built that they think is cool. Some of it is in pursuit of productization feedback. Some of it isn’t. The general audience here is (or at least, used to be) tech enthusia

Have you considered that as a hobby project, cross-compatibility (and especially on a tight timeline) might not be a priority, or even the point?

You're the only person harassing anyone here; someone wanted to show off a handwritten project they did to learn a thing, and you came in with unsolicited LLM crap.

What if the author wants to learn? Is learning just out of style now? I'd be doing the same kind of thing if I had more free time.

Nit: the quality of a language that you call "tight" is usually called "expressive." You can use few characters to express a relatively very abstract idea. Some people call this "high-level," too. I will say, t

Right, that's actually a fair framing. I get to enjoy a walking commute in my city, and or the most part, I feel very anonymous on my walk into the office. Blending into rush hour foot traffic is easy, and I never feel like I stand out

It can be simultaneously true that smart glasses are a technological marvel and a privacy nightmare. It's also important to consider that while many places have some legal framework along the lines of "no reasonable expectation of

You know, it's funny. A while back people would've been building cURL alternatives/wrappers/collecting client header stacks designed to sidestep paywalls on web content (sidestep, at best ). With purl, the web gets just

My personal opinion is that I like Rust much more than Go, but I can’t deny that Rust is a big , and more dauntingly to newcomers, pretty unopinionated language compared to Go. There are more syntax features, more and more complex semantic

There's also the newer push against what they're calling "model distillation," where their models get prompted in some specific ways to try and extract the behaviour, which, coming from a limited background in machine

The classic solution to this is to have an internal ID (UUIDv7 if you want to use UUID, nice for indexing in newer databases) and an external ID (UUIDv4 or similar) which doesn't leak information to the outside world (but which otherwi

Funny enough my impression of JS (the kind you'd write in 2007 more than the type you see now, mind you) is that it's remarkably tolerant; many idioms and operations which would cause, in other languages, runtime errors or compi

I've had to learn about TPMs to figure out if they're the right technology with which to integrate a product I've worked on. I don't agree that they're a "neo-clipper-chip" in any real way based on my expo

I dunno, SPQR is fairly obvious for anyone who covered Rome in elementary or middle school history. Beyond that, if you’re from the part of the world where asterix comics were popular (mostly thr francosphere, but also europe more broadly),

It’s a running joke in the field to have exotic pluralizations. Mutex->mutices is one, box->boxen (by analogy to oxen) is also pretty common. We need more casual light-heartedness in this line of work considering how much casual bulls

Hi, posting from my main account (I'm also the poster of the GP comment). "Nothing special" in this case was meant to describe the fact that it's random data with no identifiable patterns inherent to the data; you'r
