The README is slightly out of date, sorry. Supporting old platforms is one of the goals.

Truth be told, the support for C was at first added as a proff-of-concept that a Rust to C compiler is possible. But it worked surprisingly well, so I just decided to roll with it, and see where it takes me.

My policy in regards to C version is: I want to be as close to ANSI C as possible. So, I avoid modern C features as much as I can. I don't know if full compatibility is achievable, but I certainly hope so. Only time will tell.

Some simpler pieces of Rust work just fine with ANSI C compilers, but more complex code breaks(eg. due to unsupported intrinsics). If I will be able to solve that(+ some potential soundness issues) then I'll be able to use ANSI C.

In the Pelosis' circumstance, clearly their repeated actions of such trades and their connection to the timing of key legislation or lawsuits requires no further proof, given their long history of this front-running such that other congressmen and women are doing the same thing believing they can get away with the insider trading loophole.

By inspection, it is quite obvious to see how one can repeatedly front-run legislation ahead of everyone else and outperform the market.

> Right, and that’s not what I’m doing. I think politicians in top levels of government should be banned from trading their own stocks (and family, etc.).

Why not ban them from trading all stocks instead of just their own and why only those just from "top levels" of government?

They are serving the people as well and there shouldn't be exceptions for those that have access to that level of legislation before it is made public and then trade against it no?
These watches are my EXACT style
The raw computation is just a bunch of matrix multiplications in a row, most of the algorithmic complexity/secret stuff would be around scaling & efficiency.

For training the model the HW is much more important as you need to scale up to as many chips as possible without being bottlenecked by the network.

This would just be inference, and it doesn't need to be very efficient as its for on prem usage not selling API access. So you could strip out any efficiency secrets, and it would probably look like a bigger Gemma (their open source model).

I wonder if they would/could try and strip out stuff like whatever tricks they use for long context + video support (both of which they are a bit ahead of everyone else on).
Linux Mint on my 2014 MacBook is fine. I was able to boot and install from a thumb drive with a USB Wifi adapter plugged in. Had to manually activate the internal wireless card after install. Access to my iCloud share would be awesome.
Hmm, the light show is meant to highlight the sector boundaries, so it's clear where a given letter tile can be dragged. I could tone it down if it's too much, my goal was to give it some personality.

Regarding the sound, if you don't care for it, there is a volume slider in the menu that can disable it.

Thanks for trying it out!
I love Cursor, with Claude 3.7 and Gemini. But Claude Code is an absolut biest and blows them out the water. It is expensive, but it acts like a senior developer. It fixes bugs where Cursor (no matter which model) fails to do so, no matter which model.

I tried Roo with OpenRouter, selected DeepSeek R1, as that was supposed to have the largest output token. Asked Roo to create a documentation for a project I worked on. It created a page of markdown with a few mermaid diagrams. Next I asked Claude Code to do the same. With the same prompt. It created several markdown files with half a dozen mermaid diagrams describing the tech stack, the architecture, the data model and so much more. Another level.

The fundamental problem is that 99% of sites with cookie banners don't need cookie banners, because they don't need cookies at all. They say (lie) that it's to "improve your experience", but it's really just for tracking purposes.

If a site has a login, then of course they need some kind of storage, and they can present the cookie consent in the login form. Otherwise, though, it's an imposition with no benefit to the site visitor.

When you say "we respect the GPC signal", do you mean the Sec-GPC header? That would be a bit of improvement if all sites had to respect the header, but at this point it's still experimental and not widely used or respected.

Ask HN: What has helped you transitioning from a technical to a team lead role?
Hello everybody,
About 4 months ago I got the opportunity to become the so called team lead of our dev team… and this is something I really underestimated
:D

Previously I was (and still am in the team) a full stack developer with strengths on the technical side as well as very good problem understanding and solving skills.

After the previous months I more and More understood that in my role I have to manage a team, talk more with stakeholders and getting more involved into “politics”, which is not something I’ve did previously very much.

I know that I have to improve my communication skills, getting better in understanding how I can protect my team and how to lead my team to get out of disruptions or things that are impacting our team, but sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed.
It is definitely a challenge, but one that I want to grow on.

Thereby I am asking:
Has someone of you being in a similar position and what helped you to become the team lead that you wanted to have?
Were there useful resources, books, programs that taught you valuable skills for this kind of role?

Thank you :)

> This specific line in Tier 2 would send most project managers running for the hills "Tier 2 target-specific code is not closely scrutinized by Rust team(s) when modifications are made. Bugs are possible in all code, but the level of quality control for these targets is likely to be lower"

Are you operating under the assumption that the largely implicit support tiers in other compilers are better? In other words: do you think GCC’s m68k backend (to pick an arbitrary one) has been as battle-tested as their AArch64 one?

(I think the comment about evangelists is a red herring here: what Rust does is offer precison in what it guarantees, while C as an ecosystem has historically been permissive of mystery meat compilers. This IMO doesn’t scale well in a world where project maintainers are trivially accessible, since they have to now field bug reports on platforms they can’t reproduce for and never intended to support to begin with.)
When builds are reproducible, one thing a distro can do is have multiple build farms with completely different operators, so there's no shared access and no shared secrets. Then the results of builds of each package on each farm can be compared, and if they differ, you can suspect tampering.

So it could help you detect tampering earlier, and maybe even prevent it from propagating depending on what else is done.
Just go for solar radio sync G-Shock square and you're done. No batteries, no setting up, extremely rugged and imo it looks good as well. Since I got that one a few years ago I only wear mechanical watch for various "occasions" - pretty much like a jewellery.

> but to me it seemed that Bluesky was generally better about staying “on track” when it comes to showing relevant things, once trained. Xitter really, really likes to veer off course and so much as stopping scrolling for a second while an undesired post is on screen is enough for it to start showing more of the same type.

What is your "track"? Bluesky seemed to be behaving exactly like you described Twitter, and the only explanation I could come up with was that the process of clicking on a post to block/mute the account (which is what I was told to do to curate my feed) was considered enough engagement that my feed should be more and more of what I don't want any of.
Excellent! Dino is sweet.

I wish the Windows XMPP client situation was a bit better, but in the Linux world we have at least 2 actively maintained and modern-looking clients with Dino and Gajim, and 2 TUI ones.

You cannot estimate the risk of taking internet LSD, that is the problem.

There is also a history of cutting drugs with other substances to give them a unique effect which brings back return customers (i.e. cutting heroin with fentanyl).

And then there is the possibility that whoever produced the LSD screwed up and/or the end product is not pure.

The actual impact is that your private medical data is in the hands of thieves, which most people don’t want.

It’s similar to how most people are distressed after a break-in, because they considered their home to be a private space, even though the lock manufacturer never claimed 100% security (or the thieves simply bypassed the locks by smashing a window).

Agreements and laws don’t solve that problem, because thieves already aren’t stopped by those.
SVG complexity is a good counterpoint to “why this instead of SVG”. But I don’t think we need to even address the claim that most tools for SVG generation use JS, if the concern is JS on the client.

Realistically, on a scale beyond very few graphs, it’s pretty likely some sort of software is going to be used to process data into markup. At which point, if the desired result is static markup, it doesn’t really matter (to the end user) whether that software is written in JS or some other language. That’s a toolchain concern. It probably doesn’t matter much if at all (to the end user) whether the resulting markup is HTML or SVG. There may be some imperceptible performance difference, or slightly different accessibility requirements. But neither requires users to run JS.

If I were evaluating this choice, it would almost certainly come down to what’s most familiar, or what most readily integrates with other parts of the project’s stack and/or data sources. And I could easily imagine even that evaluation being a wash.

Or maybe the internet. People love to dramatize these things.
Way back when, most of a GPU was for graphics. Google decided to design a completely new chip, which focused on the operations for neural networks (mainly vectorized matmul). This is the TPU.

It's not a GPU, as there is no graphics hardware there anymore. Just memory and very efficient cores, capable of doing massively parallel matmuls on the memory. The instruction set is tiny, basically only capable of doing transformer operations fast.

Today, I'm not sure how much graphics an A100 GPU still can do. But I guess the answer is "too much"?
I can have cline control and terminal command, it's by no means limited to editing code. On the flip side, if you do edit codey it can lean in the LSP and various other IDE diagnostics to produce better code more efficiently.

Claude Code is pretty great, but I find Cline better (plus I can use Gemini 2.5 with it and am not limited to Anthropic only).
If you fill in a whole word and it doesn't appear broken, that means that it's a word found in the game's word list. It's a very permissive word list, including some pretty obscure words. Do you recall what the questionable word was?

I was a C++ dev all thru the 1990s, but moved to Java, JS, Python. There's really no good argument for using C++ nowadays in 99.999% of apps. Unless you're doing something VERY special like realtime stuff, or something where each action of the CPU needs to be controlled directly, you just don't need it. I'm sure you know that, tho. Not preaching at you. I learned Python as recently as 2023, just so I could get deep into the AI landscape and access all those libraries/tools.

Moving away from privately owned cars entirely seems to be the only way to eliminate the health impact of cars on people in a city.
All of that is very interesting. Side note: don't you agree that "answering about documentation with 100% reliability" would be a more than desirable further feature? (Think of those options in the shell commands which can be so confusing they made it to xkcd material.) But that would mean achieving production-level RAG; and that in turn would be a revolution in LLMs, which would revise your list above...

I have a very long and maybe ill-formed in-person rant about medical costs in the USA and the cost of higher education in the last 30 years and how these issues are are n-sides of the same n-sided coin but it takes about 8 beers to get through and isn't something I ever have the nerve to put down in an HN comment.

It’s not just a couple. We’ve seen virtually all JS tooling migrate to Rust, and there is many more things but I can’t remember by name.
It might be a wrong belief or harmful belief or unhealthy belief but it's not a psychotic belief. I should know, I'm just a little psychotic. I'm not quite sure if my belief that I can transform into a fox is psychotic or not.
> mechanical watches are among the very finest fossils of the pre-digital age

Clocks have discrete ticks. They are digital devices. Even a base-60 second hand is digital because the number of states is finite.

Mechanical and digital are not mutually exclusive concepts. For example, "The analytical engine was a proposed digital mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_engine

Going further, I could argue that the digital age is very old. Humans who wrote numbers for accounting purposes were engaging in a digital activity; only the numbers matter, not the medium they were written on or the exact handwriting style of the scribe who wrote those numbers. DNA is a form of digital data conveyed through a sequence of 4 possible symbols, and DNA predates humans by billions of years.

The pedantic phrase substitution for "pre-digital age" would be something like "age before widespread digital electronic computers on solid-state microchips" (thus differentiating from analog electronic computers and vacuum tubes).
I’m completely over the tech industry falling over itself to bootlick and apologize away everything we’ve seen play out recently. The Cloudflare CEO, Matthew Prince, recently posted on X trying to explain the strategy and likely calm investors fears: https://x.com/eastdakota/status/1909822463707652192

“They’re not stupid. I know enough of the players involved to know they’re not idiots.”

“They’re not just in it for themselves. I get that this has become non-conventional wisdom, but I am going to assume for this that the goal isn’t merely grift.”

TLDR: don’t worry, it’s 5D chess. Keep on bootlicking your way to success while your stock gets trashed by these policies and we double down on anti-science rhetoric which will hasten our decline. I guess most of these leaders will have cashed out before it all implodes.
If you don't believe computers have value you will default to writing on paper. That's what I meant with it. You need to believe first that there is something of value to be had there before exploring otherwise you are just aimlessly shooting and seeing what sticks. Maybe that gives you a better understanding of what I meant.

That would depend on what you use C for. But I sure can imagine people complain that Rust gets in the way of their prototyping while their C code is filled with UB and friends.
The linked article was mostly meant for people already lossely familiar with the project, but it seems it escaped its intended audience.

I do have a whole bunch of articles about the project on my website, going trough the entire journey of the project, from its start as a Rust to .NET compiler, to the current state.

I should have probably linked the previous articles in this one - I'll add that to my website. I'll also look into adding some more context to the articles next time.
