If things were that simple... I have to use more than one Python type checker because there is not a single one that works. Not only different tools catch different issues. They al…

LWN merge window part 1 https://lwn.net/Articles/1067250/ Part 2 https://lwn.net/Articles/1067785/

The worst part for me are the false positives. I frequently need to get into the spam folder to discover emails that Gmail thinks they are spam, even though there is absolutely no …

Anything running on a battery will need hardware acceleration

This is way vague to not be AI slop

> The total addressable market — every emerging-market saver who would prefer dollars to their local currency, every cross-border worker sending remittances home, every small-busin…

All this Mythos talk reminds me of fuzzing. The number of vulnerabilities discovered greatly increased. But bugs were patched (often, without even assigning CVEs), systems were upg…

Well, that's exactly what the article is about. Wayland put all together into one process I order to avoid unnecessary context switch. This protocol aims to keep the performance ad…

Foreign operators are mandated by the EU, they can't be banned. Spain has been one of the first countries to allow foreign high speed operators (unlike other European countries tha…

Have you read the article? He didn't just ignore her. He combined periods where he ignored her with periods of caring only to hurt her in dark ways. > Once, she says, as Jobs grope…

I'm surprised that governments didn't take this problem more seriously. Obesity is a huge problem, people have been ignoring it only because improvements in medicine have been offs…

There are certainly other use cases. git bisect was enormously useful when it was introduced in order to find Linux kernel regressions. In these cases you might not even be able to…

At this point it would seem that the cause for the current outages goes beyond the original DNS issue.

This makes me sad. AI is a product, these days being mentally healthy should imply having the emotional ability to be aware of that. If you become emotionally attached to a commerc…

I wonder if it would even be helpful because they avoid the increasing AI content

I would say that the lesson here is that cross-vendor replication is more important than intra-vendor replication. It is clear that technology can (largely) avoid data losses, but …

Yep, for me it confirms all the reasons why I think python is slow and not a good language for anything that goes beyond a script. I work with it everyday, and I have learned that …

Reminds me of all the optic fiber infrastructure that was built during the dot com bubble

The problem is that even when you give them context, they just hallucinate at another level. I have tried that example of asking about events in my area, they are absolutely awful …

Don't worry Mark we will also get AI based ad blockers

You can laugh but Google stats show nearly 50% of their global traffic being ipv6 (US is higher, about 56%), Facebook is above 40%.
