No. I mean synthetic drug addiction. I know where you're going with this, and I once supported what you're saying; but there's enough evidence now (with addictive substances) to sa…

The underlying problem in most cases (of youth violence across the world) is drug addiction. I recently spoke to someone who had to quit an overseas job and return home because his…

Just randomly: 1. TS only has a "number" type. But what type of number is it? This is doable safely via keywords (or known markers), or sometimes via analysis, but I couldn't find …

All you saw on that page was the revenue? For a potential customer deciding whether to trust a relatively small app (compared to Google and Apple) with their memories, these are us…

The transformer architecture is fundamentally unsuitable for local inference, while being efficient at scale. It's a fun experiment to try, but that's about it.

I have no connection with the team. They seem to be making good progress, starting out from Trung Nguyễn's effort. This would be a massively impactful project, and could revive the…

Anything that can be written in Rust will be written in Rust. I'm using Rust as a placeholder for a language with excellent performance and safety characteristics. It may not be a …

Thanks. The idea is that many projects (including tsts itself) can be run unmodified on a JS runtime, or as a native binary via NativeAOT/C# or Rust.

Congrats on launch. The code is beautiful, and the test suite is quite solid. Over the past year, I've been working on porting the v7 tsgo compiler back into TypeScript - https://g…

They're everywhere. But if you're short on time, buying the postcard is often easier than getting stamps and dropping it in a postbox. One petty complaint - generally across the wo…

> Thoughts[^0] from Theo, who had early access: I looked at his YouTube, and found a stream of industry gossip and beginner content like "web dev tutorials". I have nothing against…

Misha and Soviet Woman were quite common in the 80s. I remember that the paper and print was much better than what we were used to.

The problem with ORMs is that they look kludgy without language support - which is why Hibernate in Java looks painful, while DotNet's EF looks like magic. I wrote something simila…

I would not trust AI on images. But I once had ChatGPT tell me that an MRI report was very likely to be incorrect based on the text, and offered a different diagnosis. Since it was…

I was an avid reader during the web 2.0 days. Quite sad that his kind of tech journalism vanished; one could feel the decline of independent blogs month over month, while Facebook …

At thousands of tokens per second, LLMs (harnesses) can start to do a broader tree search of possibilities even in inefficient token space. This unlocks capabilities outside progra…

Would prefer not to offend the author, but I do believe this article has very little for the HN audience. No new insight, and no numbers or new information.

Unrelated to the particular code above. There's a difference between writing code about or adjacent to a proven idea vs writing code in uncharted territory. I suspect that is what …

Not the same. HttpOnly/Secure cookies were added much later and was not the default. They should have been inaccessible to JS by default from the beginning, and this policy has bee…
