Professors of course contribute to the student culture too, but by no means as much as the students themselves.

I like the Sony story, but I don't think Apple did "pull everyone along" like that, they had an exclusivity deal with TSMC to be first on a good manufacturing node improvement. They took their high-quality, high-performance iPhone SoC, gave it more juice and a bit better thermals.

It's just another "Apple integrating well" story.

Their SoC is huge compared to competitors because Apple doesn't have to make a profit selling a SoC, they profit selling a device + services so they can splurge on the SoC, splurging on the SoC plus being one node ahead is just "being good", the team implementing Rosetta are the real wizards doing "revolutionary cool shit" if anything
Explain what the point is.

Rust developers are promising that rust in the kernel should have no impact on c in the kernel.

If rust in the kernel has no impact in c then you should be able to remove the rust from the kernel and move it to it's own project, since it will have no impact on the c either way.
ai is boooring, they should fix the core features before they add useless ai
It’s still not clear where you’re getting the number 20 from or which incidents you’re talking about. But it sounds like these are cases of people being questioned by police and then…not getting arrested because they weren’t committing a crime. I’m not sure what is supposed to be concerning about that in the abstract. Maybe there’s something concerning about the specific incidents, but you don’t seem inclined to give any details about them.
This looks very interesting. I conducted some explorations of whether LLMs can be used to extract information from hand-written forms [0][1]. Such a system could allow users to snap pictures of forms and other legal documents, automatically extract structured information, and use this information to e.g. automatically fill out new forms or determine whether the user has the right to a government benefit.

The initial results were quite promising, as GPT-4o could reliably identify the correct place in the form for the information, and moderately reliably extract the values, even if the image was blurry or the text was sloppily written. Excited to see how Gemini 2.0 would do on this task!

Nice sealioning ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning
"No rust code in kernel/dma, please" is a totally reasonable request though, once again it comes down to who supports it? When 99% of the kernel is written in C it makes sense to keep it C.

If you start introducing new languages that most maintainers are not anywhere near as familiar with, you create an unmaintainable mess.

Linux isn't a hobby project anymore, its critical infrastructure. You can just introduce changes because a few people think its cool.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You can also sort the issues and see for yourself what the community thinks should be a priority: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20...

I think the takeaway here is not that everyone related to Zed thinks AI should be prioritized over essential features, but that either most developers don't care that much about font rendering or (more likely) most developers have high DPI monitors these days, so this particular bug is just a non-issue for most developers... or else more developers would have upvoted this issue.

I have one low-DPI monitor at home, so I am curious to see this issue for myself. If it looks bad when I get back from vacation in a little over a week, maybe I'll add a thumbs-up to that issue, but low-DPI font rendering isn't the reason I haven't switched to Zed. I haven't switched to Zed because of the reasons mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42818890

If those issues were resolved, I would probably just use Zed on high DPI monitors.

So, yes, for me, certain missing "AI"-related features are currently blocking me from switching to Zed. On the other hand, the community is upvoting plenty of non-AI things more than this particular font rendering bug. Unsurprisingly, different people have different priorities.

This is such a weird article, not only it seems like it's the company itself trying to glaze themselves in third person, but claiming that it's a single line of change when they're swapping out a library feature is just disingenuous; you also don't need sophisticated tooling to find an unoptimized hotspot, perf record would suffice.

>Remote editing does not work on Windows (its not implemented at all), so if you are on windows, you cannot ssh into anything with the editor remote editing feature. This means you cannot use your PC as a thin client to the actual chunky big work machine like you can with vscode.

Does this work on anything other than VSCode ? I have been trying to use JetBrains stuff for this but it has been bad for years with little improvement. Honestly JetBrains feels like they are falling behind further and further in terms of adapting to providing a modern workflow - bad remote work, bad gen AI integration. I'm using VS code even where I wouldn't consider it before because of this, and I would like to see what the alternatives have to offer because VSCode is not perfect either.
I dont think you know what you are talking about because there are differences between the exchange. For one, theyre run by different business entities, they have differences in the regulatory programs, and they also have differences in the fee schemes, e.g. how they make money on the order flow going through the exchange.

He rediscovered Blankinship's algorithm from 1963. He independently learnt that one can factor a number using it's integer partitions and gaussian row operations.

It's pretty impressive given the original 1963 author (hidden behind a Journal paywall) discovered this while working for the US Department of Defense.
I also think it would be cool to run Linux on my MacBook. But that alone isn't reason enough to add support for it.

Linux runs on over 90% of all production servers on the planet, think about that. If you introduce a change it needs to work and be maintained, if you add something but then later realise you dont have the resources to maintain it you can't remove it. You have created more work for yourself. Relevant xkcd https://xkcd.com/1172/
“…what I witnessed in Indonesia. Across the country’s 17,000-odd islands, domestically consumed plastic is so mishandled that 365 tons of it are believed to enter the sea every hour.

And yet, deep in the highlands of Java, there are hellscapes of imported Western waste — toothpaste tubes from California, shopping bags from the Netherlands, deodorant sticks from Australia — stacked knee-high as far as the eye can see.

Too voluminous to even attempt to recycle, it is used as fuel in scores of bakeries that supply Java’s street markets with tofu, a culinary staple. The result is some of the most lethal cuisine imaginable, with poisons from incinerated Western plastic ingested hourly by great numbers of Indonesians.…”
I've had to solve this in a number of ways. The fastest I've found is to precompute a hash map at a low-granularity (well, update on batch cycle regularly). Graphhopper with OSRM + OpenStreetMap data are useful in this domain, to the point where relatively dense polygons can be mapped on 16 CPU hours in a 100km by 100km block.
I’m no Trump supporter by any means but I think this kind of comment must alienate Trump supporters and contribute to polarization around the topic rather than reasoned exchange. If you really want to oppose Trump I think your purpose is better served with respectful speech. I realize the anger many people feel must make respectful speech a challenge. But I also think that the rise of polarization on social media is one of the reasons we have gotten to the place we are today.
> I think you're conflating bad management practices with the effects of generative AI.

I kindly disagree :-). Management is about increasing profit, not improving the product. And we see the results: arguably most products are worse today than they were 10 years ago. Software is a great example of that: the hardware made huge progress, but the resulting software is slightly worse than it was with hardware orders of magnitudes slower.

> As for copyright, that's a matter for the courts and legislature to decide.

Unfortunately, I think the US are showing us differently. The billionaires decide and again, they optimise their profit.

> What happening in AI, on the other hand, can potentially take us to the next level as a species.

All the established science says that we are about to collapse (most species are, already: we are the cause of the current mass extinction that is the fastest in the history of the planet). We don't have a solution to the energy problem, and we're running out of time. We don't have a solution to the climate problem, and we're running out of time. And we don't have a solution to the biodiversity, that is well into a mass extinction.

There is one thing we know we can do: start doing less with less, adapt our society to handle the coming changes as well as possible and accept that it will be worse than today anyway.

The direction we are taking, though, is what you suggest: hope for a miracle, hope for what we don't know. "Maybe technology will save us". Sure. Maybe god will, too. Feels unlikely to me.
Author of this post here -- thanks for sharing your experience! One thing I'll agree with immediately is that if you can afford to power down hardware that is almost always going to be your best option (see a previous post on this topic [0]). I believe the NAT post also calls this out, though I believe I could have gone further to disambiguate "sleeping" and "turning off":

> This doesn’t solve the issue of cloud to device traffic being dropped after NAT timeout (check back for another post on that topic), but for many low power use cases, being able to sleep for an extended period of time is more important than being able to immediately push data to devices.

(edit: there was originally an unfortunate typo here where the paragraph read "less important" rather than "more important")

Depending on the device and the server, powering down the modem does not necessarily mean that a session has to be started from scratch when it is powered on again. In fact, this is one of the benefits of the DTLS Connection ID strategy. A cellular device, for example, could wake up the next time in a completely different location, connect to a new base station, be assigned a fresh IP address, and continue communication with the server without having to perform a full handshake.

In reality, there is a spectrum of low power options with modems. We have written about many of them, including a post [1] that followed this one and describes using extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) [2] with DTLS Connection IDs and analyzing power consumption.

Zaluzny cannot do that: he is head of Armed Forces of Ukraine, while this is clearly a special operation, think FSB, GRU, GUR, CIA instead of an army. AFU destroys Russian oil and gas infrastructure with drones.

What's low hanging about USAID? That will have untold consequences such as the impact on Meals on Wheels, which was a USAID program. It seems like USAID was something Elon hates because of their work helping to end apartheid in his home country.

Elon's companies are great beneficiaries of government funding. Yesterday the federal government decided to acquire $400 million in armored Teslas. I have no idea what opera in Guatemala you're describing. That sounds like something you would learn on social media. Not very concrete.

Trump was in debt prior to the 2016 election. Had hundreds of millions in debt that he could never pay. Now he's rich and still scamming because ??? I think it's because he's been so criminal he has no choice.

I don't consider it democracy. Democracy has been co-opted through mass manipulation and mind control with social media. Donald Trump and now Elon Musk have found a way to defeat reality.

Under the current monetary system, taxes have to be as complicated as possible, in order to force the government currency to be used in every imaginable transaction. The primary purpose of taxation is this. Actual revenue is second priority.

This is why more efficient or more fair taxation will never be introduced.

I'm curious if you've given thought to improving json-schema support. Zed just packages VSCode's implementation (https://github.com/zed-industries/json-language-server
), which is generally decent, but hasn't been able to keep up with the spec, and I doubt they ever will at this point (Example: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/165219).

The newer specs for json-schema (not supported by VSCode) allow for a wider range of data requirements to be supported by a schema without that schema resorting to costly workarounds. VSCode's level of support for this is decent, but is still a pain point as it creates a sort of artificial restriction on the layout of your data that you're able to have without unexpected development costs. This of course can lead to missed estimates and reduced morale.

I understand that very few developers are directly producing and maintaining schemas. Those schemas do have an impact on most developers though. I think this is a problem that is being sadly overlooked, and I hope you can consider changing the status quo.

Love the company name btw, sounds similar to my own Nuzz Industries (not a real company, just a tag I've slapped onto some projects occasionally as a homage to Page Industries from Deus Ex).
Many open source licenses are non-free. It's simply not useful to generally conflate the two concepts when they have distinct meanings. I never have nor ever will look towards the OSI as contributing to the free software movement rather than trying to choke it out.

I finished my puzzle this morning. Fun!

https://github.com/drio/unixmagic/raw/main/static/puzzle.web...
Spark is Ada not Pascal.

Pascal strings used to have their actual length in a field at the beginning of the string. Imagine how many off by one errors and how many (even hidden) calls to strlen() that saves.

All they needed to modernize Pascal is some library code to resize the buffer if needed, just like curly brace languages. It may already be present in modern Pascal implementations, I haven't followed.

Pascal also has array bounds checking by default. Imagine how many out of bounds errors this could prevent.

But no, you have to have curly braces instead and build layers and layers of classes and languages over classes, all over the same impractical string representation.
I think those people 200 years ago mostly succeeded by having a very narrow definition of what was considered 'known' to 'humanity'.

I started by saying "hmm, it's not exactly not compromising on speed, but it's better for some use-cases indeed".

You said "you're wrong, it is optimal".

Now you say "it is not optimal, but it is very good, and I think you are nitpicking when you say it is not optimal".

Sure, I'm nitpicking. I was nitpicking from the beginning on, I'm not sure what you were trying to say now.
Google is so ridiculously bad at this, when an account that only ever uses English is explicitly asking for English search results, but happens to be located in Thailand, it will give you English results, but use the Thai calendar to display years, which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. Are there any people at all who expect to read English text but expect to see the year 2568 instead of the year 2025, when no part of their system or account is configured for Thai?
Suppose they do care. What would that look like? Posting memes to TikToks and Instagram? Would it look protests in all 50 states? Because 50501 did that and got barely any coverage. If you knew to look for them you could and can find coverage, but it didn't dominate the news cycle on all channels for days on end.

I had to learn this the hard way when a React app I built showed random crashes I couldn't explain.

"Fortunately" it also auto-translated the "I happily accept the terms of use" checkbox in one case into (back-translated) "I happily dying die perish", which also couldn't be clicked. That lead to a very high priority ticket and made us realize that all DOM manipulators might break the site.
So in "Paskalampi" and "Vesijärvi", which part of it means "lake"? Naively (I have obviously no clue about finnish), I would have expected some syllables (or token in modern LLM terminology) to occur in both names (i.e. representing the "lake" part).

The whole point of privacy tokens is you don't need to track usage. You track generation instead. They can track limits and billing at generation time. They know this. The sentence I previously quoted says so in the [...] section:

> We are working on enabling this feature for Trial and Starter plans, which have access to a limited number of monthly searches. Therefore, they risk a worse user experience if their generated tokens are lost (for example, due to uninstalling the extension)

If they don't track limits and billing at generation time, then there's no "risk [of] a worse user experience if their generated tokens are lost".

This ""risk [of] a worse user experience if their generated tokens are lost" is a logical reason to not enable privacy tokens for Trial and Starter plans. The risk of "users on this plan could redeem more tokens than the limit of searches allowed on their plan" is not a logical reason to not enable privacy tokens for Trial and Starter plans.
