I disagree. Hellwig is trying to dictate who/how uses his subsystem/code. Linus makes it clear, you don't have to use/accept Rust in your own codebase, but you can't tell others what they can do in their codebase.

Different goals.

I'm... about 14 months in this time - a digital garden, not a blog. Still updating several times a month. I think I got delisted by Google at the tail end of last year (not that I ever got many hits). I'm quite happy with that.

I write notes on what interests me in the moment, occasionally I go back and edit, sometimes I send links to friends. No plan, no goal, only whim. Obviously if you're writing for attention mine is a terrible approach, but then... if you want maximum attention, should you be writing at all? Shouldn't you be on a video platform?

The small web will always, I think, be at the margins of the internet for all the reasons you list. Dandelions growing in pavement cracks.
Sure, and they had a boost in 2021 from Covid that let them IPO. But still, their revenue in 2024 was below even pre-pandemic levels.

They could have downsized their way out of it, they just really wanted to say they didn't let anyone go. I live ten miles from their HQ and know people who work for corporate finance for them. I was at the party they threw when they re-emerged from bankruptcy last year. It would have been survivable with deeper cuts though, even then, getting back to thriving would have been more difficult and required substantial changes and nobody seemed to have much of a plan for it.

I think you're missing that devs these days are often taught a step "0":

0. Compose a new abstraction to describe the change.

And then at #2, the abstraction starts to get in the way.

I've always been fascinated by the concept of Nim, but with a non-programming day job, I've never found the time to dive in to learning it well enough to reach my equivalent python skill level.
We are at the precipice of a new era. LLMs are only part of the story. Neural net architecture and tooling has matured to the point where building things like LLMs is possible. LLMs are important and will forever change "the interface" for both developers and users, but it's only the beginning. The Internet changed everything slowly, then quickly, then slowly. I expect that to repeat

On a scale from 0 to Augusto Pinochet bringing American "Freedom" to the people or his next door neighbor, Videla, throwing dissidents out of airplanes, the current government declaring a curfew during darkness is about a 0.

Luckily, I flew out of Chile on Saturday. Although it felt like it was the safest place I have visited in South America so far the empty white powdered dime bags on the sidewalk, people telling me to be very careful walking alone at night, razor wire and electrified fences around properties was a reminder of how dangerous it is.

Ask HN: Ethical VC Funds?
Are there any ethical VC funds? This is a genuine question. It feels like the majority of venture firms can rationalise away their position as doing good for the world but when you start to dig into it, the sole goal is making money and who they make money for isn't always the most righteous of people or entities. Even then many of the individuals at firms can be questionable, involved in scandals. And the things invested in, while there can be a thematic preference, often everything is thrown out the window in the pursuit of greed or missing out on a deal.

Are there ethical VC funds out there? Is there room for a more altruistic form of investing? Is the sole goal just making money for them?

Could cooperative syndicates (like angel syndicates) be a good way to do it instead? Or is it the lack of follow on funding that's really going to kill a company?
Its never a bad idea to have a better C. despite having alternatives that somewhat work, usually C is just the only logical choice in certain domains, because i think a certain freedom to express things memory wise, which ofc have a lot of pitfalls, but are needed.

i'd say if you want to make such a language, build embedded or core OS code with it. things that do MMIO, DMA interactions, low level IO in kernel code or firmware (more embedded).

if you can solve it in that domain, everyone will love you forever.
>AI can't look at ads

Yes, we have several techniques for detecting exoplanets, and at least two of them have that bias. However, what I said still holds - our best estimates are that most stars with planets have (at least some) planets in orbits closer than is Earth’s, and therefore asserting that “planets with sufficient energy density at their surface to support complex life are rare” is unwarranted
When driving, you want to keep your velocity relative to other cars as low as possible, while retaining your ability to avoid obstacles / not murder cyclists and pedestrians.

If cars could go at mach 3, then you'd want to avoid roads entirely: it's not feasible to avoid obstacles at that speed, and you certainly don't want to get hit by shockwaves or – worse – actual cars travelling at such relative velocities. So no, you would have worse problems in this hypothetical.

This is because use of this data could create significant risks to the individual’s fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, the various categories are closely linked with:

- freedom of thought, conscience and religion;
- freedom of expression;
- freedom of assembly and association;
- the right to bodily integrity;
- the right to respect for private and family life; or
- freedom from discrimination.
It's hard to differentiate between transients and steady-state on a short time-line. The "research factory" model, I believe, is a transient, at least in physics, sustained by the low-hanging fruit left between industrialization and now. Progress is slowing down asymptotically approaching zero. And I think that's okay - consider that the progenitors of the current approach all had day jobs, all of them did this in addition because they HAD to do it. As long as society allows people to have sufficient free time, we'll still get progress in the foundations of physics. (Note that this argument does NOT apply to capital intensive experimentation, e.g. the LHC, space telescopes, or fusion research).

Journeyman physics isn't all bad, and in fact can be quite good. Not only do you not have to worry about the social, administrative, political and funding headaches of academia, you are also not suffused in the always reasonable-sounding groupthink that persistently tells you what can and cannot be done, what should and should not be questioned. I strongly believe that the next truly big shift in physics, if it ever comes, must come from an outsider. (And if that happens, ironically, we'll have another period of fruitful professional academic physics, and later another iteration of this same discussion).

This isn't the Phoronix comment section.

Linus has explained many times why he decided to go forwards with trying out Rust in the kernel. There's no need to turn it into a conspiracy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvuEYtkOH88&t=6m07s

But yes, corporations are interested in it too, and they're willing to invest in a bunch of young(er) talented developers to get the work done. There's nothing untoward in factoring the labor market into your decision making process. Which also explains why Ada is NOT in the kernel (apart from the fact that Linus simply dislikes Ada)
While this will undoubtedly happen, I don't understand why this is a new phenomenon, the internet is filled with data with questionable accuracy. One should always be validating/verifying information even if Deep Research put it together.

ECommerce Re-Platforming in 2025: When, Why, and How to Do It Right
I grew up with shareware in the 90s that often adopted a similar model (though having to send $10 in the mail and wait a couple weeks for a code or a disk to come back was a bit of a grind!) but yes, it's refreshing in the current era where developers will even attempt to charge $10 a week for a basic coloring in app on the iPad..
Thanks for the answers. I prepurchased one now out of FOMO, though I'm still trying to figure out if I need to cancel the order or if I can trust that I'll actually be able to run stuff on it.

Regarding LLMs, am I going to be able to run quantized models? Doesn't have to support all quantization methods, but at least one of the popular quantization methods would need to work (e.g. GGUF or EXL2). I ask this because quantized models provide the most "bang for buck" in LLMs.

Regarding image generation, in real workflows there is typically a lot of dependencies (much more than in LLMs, and much more than in toy examples for image generation). I'm wondering how many of these dependencies will in practice be limited to NVIDIA and CUDA. For example, if you grab some popular ComfyUI Flux workflow from Reddit, are you able to actually run that on Framework Desktop?
I think this is somewhat funny.

His comment is pretty understandable if you've done frontend work in javascript.

Node_modules is so ripe for duplicate content that some tools explicitly call out that they're disk efficient (It's literally in the tagline for PNPM "Fast, disk space efficient package manager": https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm)

So he got ok results (~13% savings) on possibly the best target content available in a user's home directory.

Then he got results so bad it's utterly not worth doing on the rest (0.10% - not 10%, literally 1/10 of a single percent).

Deduplication isn't super simple, isn't always obviously better, and can require other system resources in unexpected ways (ex - lots of CPU and RAM). It's a cool tech to fiddle with on a NAS, and I'm generally a fan of modern CoW filesystems (incl APFS).

But I want to be really clear - this is people picking spare change out of the couch style savings. Penny wise, pound foolish. The only people who are likely to actually save anything buying this app probably already know it, and have a large set of real options available. Everyone else is falling into the "download more ram" trap.

Tell us more about the doors - hobby woodworker here that buys more tools than builds projects. Do you run into code issues (not software but municipality)? For something like a door, how do you deal with weather extremes on 2 sides of the same surface? Like 30 degrees F on one side and 72 on the other. Are there specific wood species that are better suited for door making?

I live in a subdivision with cookie cutter houses and a custom wood front door would be neat, assuming it passes wife and HOA approvals.
> Anyone here seen an LLM actually produce a really novel thought that hasn't already been written about ad nauseam?

Personal anecdote. I stopped reading on most subjects that might be regarded as philosophical in nature a long time ago, perhaps in my early twenties.

Most writers have nothing new to offer in terms of our (philosophical) understanding of the world and I think themes are just repeated ad nauseam.

On the other hand when it come to the average Joe, to him it would appear that he is encountering novel/profound thoughts if he keep reading. The same goes for LLMs generated trash, he feels it's novel.
I only rarely saw a bald eagle until I moved into a river house a few years back.

That river was one I'd fished since I was a kid. What I've seen has been amazing, all up - the river is far more full of bigger and healthier fish than it ever has been. The birds I've seen along the river have been of a much wider variety, including plenty of Bald Eagles (but also a massive population of red tail hawks, turkey vultures, cranes, storks, herons, etc.). In the spring we get flocks of pelicans coming through the last few years! Pelicans! Occasionally, I get to see an eagle or hawk snatch a fish out of the water.

It's really been amazing to see. It's not all good news - you can't leave small pets unattended outside. We got a ~40lb dog instead of a smaller one because of this.
This is crazy good , thanks a lot

"Wide" characters in C and C++ do not have a standardized width. On most non-Windows platforms they are actually four bytes so can cover the entirety of Unicode and then some in one wchar_t. Not that that's a more reasonable encoding for most applications than WTF-16.
How do you use power bi on Linux
The Fourier transform is taken along the “token” dimension. However, in many applications, this dimension is not meaningful. That’s why transformers are a great option for consuming data which is permutation invariant.

I would like to see additional experiments using the lesser known Fourier transform over finite groups [1], which is permutation invariant but shares many properties with the standard Fourier transform.

I also wonder if this becomes the next big thing for LLMs, how easy will it be for inference engines(eg vLLM, llama.cpp) to integrate it?

> Honest question: What has it broken about your git usage? I haven’t really noticed a problem.

I assume many people, like me, would have git aliases which use a hardcoded master branch name. I several of these aliases. I've had to update them all to check what the actual master/main name is and use that instead, because our org started following the "main" naming convention and we ended up with various repos with "master" and others with "main".

I personally like standardisation, because I prefer to spend time thinking about more important things. So I was mildly (but only mildly) peeved when I had to start thinking about which repo I was on and what the "master" branch was called.

But I've updated all my aliases now, so not so much of an issue.
