It's in the user name: he's metalman. He collects metals. Made of men.

Keeping in mind that I'm going strictly off the commit[0], a bit-packing layout is very much the kind of thing which is not subject to copyright in the first place. Neither are alg…

True story: I have a moisture issue in my furnace, such that it needs vacuuming out. This involved detaching a length of tubing, but that puts stress on said tubing, sometimes knoc…

Not really. They're an AI company: they develop AI and sell it. There's some room for pulling off flashy marketing stunts, but not all that much. This is division of labor, and it'…

If the Judeo-Bolshevist theses were true, then Operation Barbarossa was the logical thing to do, and everything which came with it. Powerful word, `if`. "You're not only wrong you'…

You may want to read this comment again and really evaluate it as if you didn't write it. Maybe shop it around. Ask your wife, or better some random people with the names scrubbed …

Yes, the word 'if' was in that sentence. The only people who have a need to judge the quality of the report (not aesthetically, I mean) are those few who know enough about the subs…

I don't care if the cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice. Translation: if this nails-on-chalkboard LLM spew identifies a kernel bug, which is then patched, its aesthet…

Heh. Literally, welcome to: Hacker News. It's always been like this.

Like Ghostty, you mean? The best terminal emulator out there?

It's actually a good comparison. Because if a club had a prominently posted rule "no shit on the soles of your shoe", I would not be asking "Well, how much shit is on the soles of …

You can't call it a bell curve unless it's from the Charles Murray region. It's just sparkling statistics.

I am doing so such thing. You are ignorant and you are being rude, it's a bad combination. The English Rule has several variations by jurisdiction, you'll find a handy map here: ht…

Perhaps you will find page 27, "USB signals over USB Type-C®", clears up the strangeness. At least when you get to the first section, "USB 2.0 Signaling Over Type-C".

Why say 'brisance' when you could say 'jounce per ounce'.

It does, and it absolutely has a chilling effect in countries which don't do things this way. Sue someone who can spend millions of pounds (for the sake of argument) on defence? Be…

Scenario A: A program has a memory vulnerability. That's bad, and the reason it's bad: attacker-controlled data can potentially trigger this vulnerability, which could even lead to…

This seems too strong to me. I agree with reliable as "repeatable", it's the determinism which seems excess to purpose. If I have a great meal every time I go to a restaurant, that…

Vorons are great! https://www.vorondesign.com You've come a long way, RepRap.

In five years Europe will be buying their inference machines from Apple, like everyone else.

Yep, American tourism is in shambles. Everyone's terrified ...because the USA made it into the knockout stage. really scary stuff
