> Is it like writing frontend code in Rust and compiled to WASM ?

Exactly, it's actually quite lightweight and stable plus mostly finished, so don't let the slower upstream releases discourage you from ever trying it more extensively.

We build a widget library with our products as main target around Yew and native web technologies, you can check out:

https://github.com/proxmox/proxmox-yew-widget-toolkit

And the example repo:

https://github.com/proxmox/proxmox-yew-widget-toolkit-exampl...

For code and a little bit more info. We definitively need to clean a few documentation and resource things up, but we tried to make it so that it can be reused by others without tying them to our API types or the like.

FWIW, the in-development Proxmox Datacenter Manager also uses our Rust / Yew based UI, it's basically our first 100% rust project (well, minus the Linux / Debian foundation naturally, but it's getting there ;-)

> So, if I use 0x00450000 I can swap -inf.0 and +inf.0 without modifying any other value?

Yeah, you got it. See test: https://ce.billsun.dev/#g:!((g:!((g:!((h:codeEditor,i:(filen...

If you are going to implement something like this you basically need a fallback for where it is not supported. In C you write:

#ifdef __AVX5125F__ // optimized code #else // fallback code #endif

The optimized code will only be emitted if -mavx512f is passed to the compiler. This flag is implied if `-march=native` and the host compiling the code supports it, or if `-march=specificarch` and specificarch supports it. Otherwise the fallback code will be used.

If using the custom assembler you would need to test whether AVX512F is available by using the CPUID instruction.

Capital causes big distortions: unreasonably cheap products from big companies and unreasonably cheap products from VC backed companies. Plus, habits and market power make it hard for people to switch en masse.

Despite a tough market, Kagi succeeds the old way: with better products.

Kagi proves plain old commerce - making a good thing and selling it - can win a fair fight against capital. Keep it up folks!

The most charitable explanation is that -- because as a malignant narcissist his grasp of past, present and future is really kind of broken -- he's talking about reversing hypothetical gains, and because the numbers sound big he doesn't care that it doesn't make any sense to the listener, and his team will twist themselves into pretzels to make it true anyway.

(I haven't yet heard them make the claim that he means reversing gains, but I would expect them to. Heck if it was my job to make his Truth Social messages make sense, that is what I would say.)

But honestly his grasp of fractions and percentages has long been known to be worse than early era ChatGPT.

The most worrying aspect of the Trump era for the markets should be that he treats numbers as entirely flexible according to his mood, when the market needs them to at least be consistent.

But then they knew this before he was elected the first time; he is famous for admitting he assesses the value of future business at any time based in part on how he feels about it (which is reminiscent of the way Musk assesses future valuations, future delivery dates for full-self-driving, future sales of robots etc.)

So it's not a political thing at all. He hasn't always been a Republican but he has always been like this with numbers, and anyone who has ever subjected his words to any kind of scrutiny should know it.

I face this issue too and can easily reproduce it. When typing in Google search, if I try to place the cursor, it will often register my click on the "microphone" icon due to a tiny delay of the search UI and that opens up the App Store page. When I switch back to Safari, it starts a never ending loop of sending me back to App Store page. I have to kill Safari to stop this.

That's because people can't handle speed. With a natural delay, they could cool down or at least become more detached. Society needs natural points where people are forced to detach from what they do. That's one reason why AI and high-speed communications are so dangerous: they accelerate what we do too quickly to remain balanced. (And I am speaking in general here, of course there will be a minority who can handle it.)

The irony is that all that

"it's so easy"

"it's just calories in, calories out"

"if you eat according to this plan and make sure to get 8 hours of sleep a day, you won't even feel the cravings"

Is stuff that fat people say. They totally buy into it and buy all of the products to help them convince themselves this is true. Then they get disillusioned when it doesn't work, have a crisis of faith, then go to the next fad to get over the self-hatred caused by their failure at sticking to something so easy.

Intermittent fasting is great. It got me from 225 to 165, kept it off for the past few years with no effort (my entire metabolism recalibrated to 165-175, I guess.) I also know people who cry actual tears when they're very late for a meal, or panic. Those people need therapy and/or maybe an injection to artificially lower their appetites to the level where I also artificially lowered my own appetite.

Intermittent fasting is no more natural than injections. Dieting is modernity.

Well the "glue" in this case is actually a very good material for the application. Epoxy has compressive strength comparable to structural steel, and more importantly its density is almost the same as water. This means you can make incredibly thick walls for a small internal volume while remaining buoyant. It also resists biofouling and corrosion, which is why it's popular in other marine applications.

Submarines of this size should be using composites, once sufficient data is gathered on their behavior to develop proper factors of safety. The issue was all the idiocy that came after. This team was going to kill people no matter no matter what they made the sub out of.

Trek 2100. The first carbon fiber bike affordable by upper middle class people.

Their trick was pre-formed carbon tubing glued to aluminum lugs. Sound familiar?

Good, because they had a massive recall because the carbon at the joinst started to chip and crack. Member of our club had to call a friend to come get him because his top tube came apart fifteen miles from town. Took em a while to replace it too. Eventually he ended up on a Serotta (Titanium with extra metalurgical tricks to make it lighter still).

Anthony Marinelli (guy behind MJ's Thriller synth jams) and Tim Pierce (accomplished session guitarist) riff on this https://youtu.be/OzuADujnEhQ?t=1205 recently. This whole video is a treat, as are most of Marinelli's.

When I see AI salesmen thinking they can attack into art, I think they naively see it as inherently imprecise or arbitrary, and they think because their technology has these properties it will easily cross over. This is going to lead to a lot of faux pas (remember NFTs?); it would be prudent to attack problems where some kind of correctness can be mechanically judged... OCR and software development are reasonable verticals at opposite ends of complexity to focus on, and pursue artistic rendition in a more experimental way letting artists approach the technology and show how it is useful.

> Elon mostly lived with his father, who says he owned thoroughbred horses, a yacht, several houses and a Cessna. One of their homes was in Waterkloof, a leafy suburb of Pretoria that was popular with foreign diplomats.

> Wanderlust ran on both sides of the family. On holidays, Errol and his kids would travel, he said: to Europe, Hong Kong, throughout the United States. Or they'd take the plane to Lake Tanganyika [in Zambia], where Errol had a stake in an emerald mine.

That sounds more privileged than upper middle class to me.

No. There's all sorts of software engineering craft that usually has no place on the job site; for instance, there's a huge amount of craft in learning pure-functional languages like Haskell, but nobody freaks out when their teams decide people can't randomly write Haskell code instead of the Python and Rust everyone else is writing. You're extrapolating because you're trying to defend your point, but the point you're trying to make is that I meant to communicate something in my own article that I not only never said, but also find repellant.

Railroads move people and cargo quickly and cheaply from point A to point B. Mechanized textile production made clothing, a huge sink of time and resources before the industrial age, affordable to everybody.

What does AI get the consumer? Worse spam, more realistic scams, hallucinated search results, easy cheating on homework? AI-assisted coding doesn't benefit them, and the jury is still out on that too (see recent study showing it's a net negative for efficiency).

There has to be give and take to this as well. The AI increase is going to cost jobs. I see it in my work flow and our company. We used to pay artists to do artwork and editors to post content. Now we use AI to generate the artwork and AI to write the content. It's verified by a human, but it's still done by AI and saves a ton of time and money.

These are jobs that normally would have gone to a human and now go to AI. We haven't paid a cent for AI mind you -- it's all on the ChatGPT free tier or using this tool for the graphics: https://labs.google/fx/tools/image-fx

I could be wrong, but I think we are at the start of a major bloodbath as far as employment goes.... in tech mostly but also in anything that can be replaced by AI?

I'm worried. Does this mean there will be a boom in needing people for tradeskills and stuff? I honestly don't know what to think about the prospects moving forward.

Yeah, so you can't blame every performance issue you come across on a single topic, just because you've seen a YouTube video.

If you look at the performance graph, you'll see that most of the time is spent on recalculating css styles. Unfortunately, I can't drill into it because I'm not getting the same problems on my machine. Maybe it has something to do with the 1000s of rendered DOM nodes - no idea, but it has nothing to do with reactivity.
by troyastorino | 2025-08-05 21:23:40+00:00
I've seen this quote in a couple places and it's misleading.

Using non-seasonally adjusted St. Louis FRED data (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NA000349Q), and the AI CapEx spending for Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon from the WSJ article (https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/silicon-valley-ai-infrastructure...):

-------------------------------------------------

Q4 2025 consumer spending: ~$5.2 trillion

Q4 2025 AI CapEx spending: ~$75 billion

-------------------------------------------------

Q1 2025 consumer spending: ~$5 trillion

Q1 2025 AI CapEx spending: ~$75 billion

-------------------------------------------------

Q2 2025 consumer spending: ~$5.2 trillion

Q2 2025 AI CapEx spending: ~$100 billion

-------------------------------------------------

So, non-seasonally adjusted consumer spending is flat. In that sense, yes, anything where spend increased contributed more to GDP growth than consumer spending.

If you look at seasonally-adjusted rates, consumer spending has grown ~$400 billion, which might outstrips total AI CapEx in that time period, let alone growth. (To be fair the WSJ graph only shows the spending from Meta, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. But it also says that Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla combined "only" spent $6.7 billion in Q2 2025 vs the $96 billion from the other four. So it's hard to believe that spend coming from elsewhere is contributing a ton.)

If you click through the the tweet that is the source for the WSJ article where the original quote comes from (https://x.com/RenMacLLC/status/1950544075989377196) it's very unclear what it's showing...it only shows percentage change, and it doesn't even show anything about consumer spending.

So, at best this quote is very misleadingly worded. It also seems possible that the original source was wrong.

>> You can finance the purchase to avoid upfront payments.

Yeah and then you pay interest on the loan. Which then makes it EVEN MORE expensive AND lengthens your ROI just to break even.

FYI you're not "saving" anything until A) Your loan is paid off and B) Your array is generating enough energy to compensate for your existing energy use.

Your numbers just don't add up:

$15,000 for a 5Kw array.

$15,000 loan with a VERY generous 5% interest rate on an also very generous 6 year term.

Interest paid over six years: $4,500

Total paid after six years: $19,500

Monthly payments would be around $240.00

The average monthly cost of electricity for Minneapolis is about $190.00 which is about 1,097kWh

The monthly average your 5kWh array can generate in a month (assuming optimal conditions) is around 700kWh. Leaving you with a deficit of 397kWh you still need to pay for.

So no, I'm not seeing how the cost savings will exceed your finance payments. It will eventually pay for itself once you get outside of that ROI period. And then what? You get 15 years of free electricity which amounts to:

$190.00 * 12 = $2,280

$2,280 * 15 = $34,200

So then, over 25 years, your net gain is about: $14,000? Which is about $560/year?

Not worth it at all.

The comparison to art is apt. Generated art gets the job done for most people. It's good enough. Maybe it's derivative, maybe there are small inaccuracies, but it is available instantly for free and that's what matters most. Same with code, to many people.

And the knock-on effect is that there is less menial work. Artists are commissioned less for the local fair, their friend's D&D character portrait, etc. Programmers find less work building websites for small businesses, fixing broken widgets, etc.

I wonder if this will result in fewer experts, or less capable ones. As we lose the jobs that were previously used to hone our skills will people go out of their way to train themselves for free or will we just regress?

I personally sent several scathing emails directly to directors about the issue. I have a long iMessage history and there was a point that just entering a single character in the search field would lock up my mac, let alone my older iPhone.

I have noticed and appreciate the change, so my headcanon is that they actually do read feedback. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
by belter | 2025-08-05 21:24:04+00:00
You miss the fundamental constraint. The bottleneck in software development was never typing speed or generation, but verification and understanding.

Even if LLMs worked perfectly without hallucinations (they don't and might never), a conscientious developer must still comprehend every line before shipping it. You can't review and understand code 10x faster just because an LLM generated it.

In fact, reviewing generated code often takes longer because you're reverse-engineering implicit assumptions rather than implementing explicit intentions.

The "10x productivity" narrative only works if you either:

- Are not actually reviewing the output properly

or

- Are working on trivial code where correctness doesn't matter.

Real software engineering, where bugs have consequences, remains bottlenecked by human cognitive bandwidth, not code generation speed. LLMs shifted the work from writing to reviewing, and that's often a net negative for productivity.

If the argument was not born from ignorance I think it'd be fine ;) There's a rich history, decades old, of people claiming Lisp can't do X or is bad for Y, or is only a category and the true meaning of Lisp as a category is just having s-expression syntax. Some Lispers get more touchy when such things come up yet again. Attempts to correct misconceptions do work a little bit but just like bad and false popsci memes (remember when the "you only use 10% of your brain" myth was more popular?) the false memes seem to spread more easily. It takes a long time to overcome them, if ever.
ZK Proofs Are Getting Easier but the Airdrop Game Remains Tricky
by Earlycrow | 2025-08-05 21:24:37+00:00
Not long ago, building with zero-knowledge proofs felt like assembling a 10,000-piece puzzle blindfolded. Developers burned months wrestling with arcane cryptographic libraries, and scaling solutions for real-world use cases seemed out of reach.

Now, platforms like Succinct are simplifying the process, but the ecosystem’s growing pains are still evident. The recent $PROVE token launch listed on BingX at $2, now up 335%, has sparked the usual mix of excitement and frustration. Many airdrop hunters are upset about allocations, while others miss out entirely.

I'm not chasing the first green candle. Instead, I'm researching the underlying tech, waiting for a better entry after the hype dies down, and questioning whether airdrops still incentivize builders or just attract mercenary capital.

Part of the secret sauce since O1 has been accesss the real reasoning traces, not the summaries.

If you even glance at the model card you'll see this was trained on the same CoT RL pipeline as O3, and it shows in using the model: this is the most coherent and structured CoT of any open model so far.

Having full access to a model trained on that pipeline is valuable to anyone doing post-training, even if it's just to observe, but especially if you use it as cold start data for your own training.

In 1989, my Toronto-based team was at TJ Watson for the final push on porting IBM's first TCP/IP implementation to MVS. Some of our tests ran raw, no RACF, no other system protections. I was responsible for testing the C sockets API, a very cool job for a co-op.

When one of my tests crashed one of those unprotected mainframes, two guys who were then close to my age now stared at an EBCDIC core dump, one of them slowly hitting page down, one Matrix-like screen after another, until they both jabbed at the screen and shouted "THERE!" simultaneously.

(One of them hand delivered the first WATFOR compiler to Yorktown, returning from Waterloo with a car full of tapes. I have thought of him - and this "THERE!" moment - every time I have come across the old saw about the bandwidth of a station wagon.)
uBlock Origin still works in Chrome 139
by AuthorizedCust | 2025-08-05 21:26:14+00:00
In various places, it was alleged that uBlock Origin will no longer work in Chrome 139 as that is when Manifest v2 will be removed.

I just upgraded to 139.0.7258.67, and uBlock Origin 1.65.0 is working as always.

With 138, I reconfigured Chrome to force Manifest v2 to continue working. But even Google's guidance (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline) suggests that for 138, Manifest V2 is "disabled" and "Users can no longer turn them back on." For 139, for enterprise users, "the ExtensionManifestV2Availability policy will be removed", further clarified with "Manifest V2 extensions will cease to function for any user upgrading to Chrome 139".

Did something change?

You can insert a link to the surfaced content using the button on the search results - unfortunately it won't directly link to the block the content comes from.

If the search result is a full "Note", clicking the result object will copy a link to it to your clipboard (so you can put it wherever), while if it's a "Block" (section in Obsidian parlance), it copies the content.

I feel the primary benefit of this Ollama Turbo is that you can quickly test and run different models in the cloud that you could run locally if you had the correct hardware.

This allows you to try out some open models and better assess if you could buy a dgx box or Mac Studio with a lot of unified memory and build out what you want to do locally without actually investing in very expensive hardware.

Certain applications require good privacy control and on-prem and local are something certain financial/medical/law developers want. This allows you to build something and test it on non-private data and then drop in real local hardware later in the process.

Hard, hard disagree here from my view.

> Since engineers have consistently said they wish they had more time to write code, AI adoption should focus on where frustration and bottlenecks are prevalent.

I wanted more time to write code _because code can take a long time to write_. Everyone wants results ASAP, but we're waiting for me to have enough information, no meetings, flow state, etc. and actually get it done - and I might get stuck on some peculiarity that I simply haven't dealt with before and wind up in google hell.

Instead, now, the code is writing itself, it's taking me way less time to turn around on changes, and I don't want "more time writing code" - now I want clearer decisions. I want more features in products that have become featureless due to the testing burden - well, AI can write test cases for you, so we should be able to start having featureful apps again. I want more time to actually deliver value to my end users; that's not something coding TIME did, it's something that new features, new integrations, and other simple improvements actually do.

> A grand and shallow generalization

In every single developed country leaving a child like that would cause everyone there to be prosecuted by law. I didnt hear any other country where trying to help a kid to find his mother by asking around people in a park could be considered child molestation and force someone who is helping to leave the child just like that. Feel free to provide a counter argument.

> This swerve into pejorative language

Are you contesting that there are incessant fads and hysteria in the US? We are living in a time when US is waging two wars on two different fronts and creating propaganda hysteria for the third war. American payment processors are being pressured to cut service to those who certain American groups dont see compliant with their views. The list of fads and hysterias are so long that it requires an entire topic to list.

> a society that is totally dysfunctional > Ok, now there's no question about it.

A society where people work two jobs and yet live in their car where 99% of people will will never buy a house....

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/homes-for-sale-affordable-housi...

...where people die if they cant pay the hospital, and cant feed their children even while working two jobs...

...to the extent that the solution they find is escaping from the country...

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/american-dream-leave-most-us-...

...and you are saying that is not a dysfunctional society and pointing out all of these are 'nationalistic'.

> Comments like this, which combine denunciatory rhetoric with a very low information/indignation ratio, are not what Hacker News is for

Tech and tech economy are not exempt from a social collapse. You could make an argument that the collapse has not reached a point at which we should talk about it in every thread, maybe. But you were the one challenged the 'dysfunctional' argument. Delirious hysteria like the one the initial commenter posted is a good sign of collapsing societies. The US is one.
