Aeolun··on Blender's UI and Runtime: Much Faster Than GPUI
But is it built in Rust?
Aeolun··on Skeuomorphic Wayland Compositor
I like this. I think I’d seen it before but this demo page is better.
Aeolun··on Being a kid making games in the early 2000s
The only thing I ever used to make games was OHRRPGE

It was hilarious. I didn't know what I was doing, but the dos aesthetics and the many options for FF style attacks made me really happy at the time.

Aeolun··on Osewa – An open-source alternative to SSH and Mosh
Sure, but that’s like saying you need to be able to rely on a hammer to be able to hit a nail so you can stop using rocks instead.
Aeolun··on Osewa – An open-source alternative to SSH and Mosh
I think it’s really interesting that at the same time postgres is delayed because agents are finding so many more vulnerabilities than normal reviewers, we have people crying that the same code those agents review is slop.
Aeolun··on Valve "played capitalism so well they broke it" and now Steam can't be replaced
I don’t know if other services couldn’t have done that. I think the important bit is that I never feel shafted when I’m using Steam. Ever since the beginning I’ve been able to click purchase, and have a game downloadable within minutes to hours (depending on size). All the extra nonsense they’ve added has never stood in the way of that core experience.
Aeolun··on Anthropic reports $17B in Q3 revenue, commitments of $895B in revised S-1
They are probably going to need all that capacity.
Aeolun··on Patrick Stewart has died
Idiocracy isn't a dystopia. It's a documentary.
Aeolun··on Gemini 4 Carbon
What is it with anybody but anthropic having zero sense for how to name their models?
Aeolun··on Type Server Protocol
I think the idea is that you start out believing people will cooperate, and that the best idea will naturally surface, and then you find out humans don’t actually work like that.
Aeolun··on Microsoft offers voluntary buyouts to a quarter of its workforce
> A Microsoft spokesperson said the offer will be comparable to the company’s standard severance package

Very enticing Microsoft.

Aeolun··on What shall I teach my son?
I feel like the solution here is to say 'Try'?
Aeolun··on Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand?
> You must read the code before shipping it to production.

No you don't. You just need to be reasonably certain it works to specification. That was always the case, with or without LLM generated code. If anything I now have a lot more confidence in some of the code produced because the lower bound has become the LLM.

Aeolun··on Ukraine claims first drone evacuation of wounded soldier
The point of war is enforcing your will through violence. You can skip the violence, but then bullies would essentially be unrestricted.
Aeolun··on How Quickly Can the DoD Rebuild and Recast the Munitions Industrial Base?
Surely, knowing what the requirements are, we can build a cheaper Tomahawk missile these days, right?

SpaceX does the whole rocket launch thing for a fraction of the cost of the space shuttle. GPS is not that complicated any more and all the processing power required fits in a chip the size of a cellphone.

But those things cost 2.5M a piece?

Aeolun··on Tesla Roadster
At least this one doesn't look horrible. I can't see myself buying it, but I don't feel like I want to gag either.
Aeolun··on Steam Client is now faster than Epic's new vibe coded launcher
Egui mostly repaints on the GPU, so the inefficiencies doesn't really show up until you try to render 10k tree nodes in a list or something, and even then you can do virtualization.
Aeolun··on Steam Client is now faster than Epic's new vibe coded launcher
I think it's more amazing they ever advertised with 'cold start to store' of 5.4 seconds. How is that anywhere near good?!
Aeolun··on Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men
I mean, I kinda like having kids. Even if everything goes in the shitter economically ag least I have something in front of me that is obviously going well.
Aeolun··on Firefox Enterprise
To be fair, you cannot trust the Dutch.
Aeolun··on Firefox Enterprise
They're selling delegated responsibility as a service. Seriously?
Aeolun··on Redesigning source control at Anthropic
There's value to me! I've never been happier about my tools.
Aeolun··on I would like the value of my home to rise, while my property taxes fall
I’m not sure that is true. More wealth is only useful if you can do something with it. If I buy my home for 300k and buy taxes on 300k, then that’s the level my income is calibrated for. If the value of my home rises to 900k with a similar increase in taxes, my tax burden increased by 3, but I still have the same amount of money and no way to get it out other than selling the house.

If you need thst money back at some point it makes much more sense to tax the sale or purchase of the property because nobody living there is affected until that sale actually happens.

Aeolun··on 2D Vehicles
Is it actually solving anything though? It always seems to get stuck with the semi half sticking out.
Aeolun··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
Only after Anthropic rebuilds Claude in Rust.
Aeolun··on Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge
Maybe not one that reported it, but the ‘we scan every message you sent into this for disallowed speech’ part is what gives me pause.

They shouldn’t be in a position to report it at all.

Aeolun··on September 2026: The world today, as seen by one Polish guy
There’s no point in responding to people that have already judged and found wanting. I have better things to do with my time.

Though sometimes I still get pulled in, like now.

Aeolun··on California bans child marriage, a practice still legal in 32 US states
The question is if that has gotten better over time? Because age doesn’t really change all that much in my experience.
Aeolun··on California bans child marriage, a practice still legal in 32 US states
As in, it’s fine to marry if the child is pregnant, or the opposite?
Aeolun··on California bans child marriage, a practice still legal in 32 US states
Call me misguided, but I’m not sure adult life experience helps a lot with raising kids. It just means you grow out of touch.
