Dinux··on Abandoning Scientific Linux Was a Mistake
Thats literally what the author descirbes. Its about the cost of infra and making choices, not to go back
Dinux··on I asked Meta’s Muse for its filesystem and it sent me 6.8GB
The internals are not _that_ reveling, most agents run a similar setup. Metas' responds is the most interesting here.
Dinux··on Tencent Releases and Open-Sources Tencent Hy4 Preview
Which explains why almost none of my request go though
Dinux··on Gemini 3.5 Flash
Source please cause i dont believe that for once second
Dinux··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
No man, I'm with you. I remember when GitHub was a joy to use. Finding new niche tools and projects written by people who actually cared about their work. Needed some simple postgres backup script? Browser GitHub and plenty of people put time and effort in creating something that actually worked.

I was talking about the same thing just yesterday. GitHub with its friendly mascot is no longer. It's now just another SaaS platform that everyone including my non technical colleagues are using. Their push towards everything-AI is the exact opposite of what they stood for in the begining. A community of like minded people who wanted to build great tools and loved software. But yet no longer. GitHub now feels like a soulless SaaS that's trying to hook my onto an enterprise subscription and bring my whole team along so we can all do some agentic coding or whatever.

Dinux··on Claude.ai unavailable and elevated errors on the API
Does anyone know why they have so many technical issues compared to any other LLM inference provider ?
Dinux··on Show HN: Play poker with LLMs, or watch them play against each other
This is amazing, I just wish I could pause the game and have them play step by step
Dinux··on Open Chaos: A self-evolving open-source project
I'd expect even more chaos, let an LLM build the features and people vote.
Dinux··on Seedbox Lite: A lightweight torrent streaming app with instant playback
While showing an image of Disney IP
Dinux··on Starship's Tenth Flight Test
This is a big one for SpaceX. They have had a couple of faillures on Starship on their previous launches.
Dinux··on Andrej Karpathy: Deep Dive into LLMs Like ChatGPT [video]
Thanks Andrej. I have a pretty good understanding of how LLMs work and how they are trained, but alot of my friends don't. These videos/talks give them 'some' idea.
Dinux··on Andrej Karpathy: Deep Dive into LLMs Like ChatGPT [video]
YouTube is known for not deleting videos, and so far the never have (with some obvious exceptions)
Dinux··on One in four 2020 Tesla Model 3 failed the Danish periodic inspection in 2024
That used to be the case, but nowadays on par with every other car manufacturer
Dinux··on Ask HN: For 6 months: No calls, no invitation, no reaction. What is happening?
Its not for a lack of trying. I spend a lot of time writing text that feel like I actually read the ad. I try to include details, show examples for the things I think are relevant and have others give their opinion on what I should improve or rephrase.
Dinux··on Thank HN: My bootstrapped startup got acquired today
Congrats! Do you have any idea what to do next?
Dinux··on Trae: AI Code Editor from ByteDance
I don't see anything about source available, git repository links or opensource licensing. Why would I switch from a free and opensource IDE to a closed source IDE offering no benefits?
Dinux··on Show HN: DBOS TypeScript – Lightweight Durable Execution Built on Postgres
Hai, really cool project! This is something I can actually use.

Dinux··on Pgroll – Zero-downtime, reversible, schema changes for PostgreSQL (new website)
Is this related to supabase? There seems to be a link?
Dinux··on UK bans daytime TV ads for cereals, muffins and burgers
It's a first step. The larger point here is awareness.
Dinux··on QNX is now free for anything non-commercial, plus there's an RPi image
Amen
Dinux··on SSH Remoting
I cant wait to switch to something like Zed. VS Code can take up half of my memory and keeps crashing after updates. How much language support is there for Go?
Dinux··on Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
We have switched to Rust about 4 years back for most of our robotics and embedded control systems. I has been a blessing to move away from C/C++ after 10 years. Sure Rust has its problems and issues, especially when it comes to async and concurrency. Yes it has a steep learning curve, yes the compiler gets in the way often but the number of _actual_ bugs (not design flaws) is probably less than 10 over 4 years. Every time I work on a C/C++ i'm painfully reminded how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot. I hope coreutils and Rust in the kernel will eventually become the default
Dinux··on Breakdown of faults by car brand: Tesla has replaced Dacia at the bottom
Well, N=4 in this case. But sure its no research
Dinux··on Breakdown of faults by car brand: Tesla has replaced Dacia at the bottom
Sofar I've owned 4 Tesla cars and never had any serious issues that were not addressed immediately. My current Model Y had a cracked roof, they replaced the glass within a couple or hours. Here in The Netherlands inspections are mandatory for all cars every 1/2 years. I've noticed the tires may not be as durable as they should be but no idea how they stack up against another EV.

Anything you use and use a lot needs maintenance, especially if you rely on it, that goes for you're electric toothbrush as wel as your car. Its a utopica to think EVs somehow need less upkeep.

Sure build quality can be improved here and there, and over the last 4 years I have seen Tesla's cars become better. To me regular OTA updates, up-to-date map, apps, an actual working charging network and range are more important than having all the panels aligned withing a couple of milimeters.

Dinux··on Maybe Rust isn’t a good tool for massively concurrent, userspace software
We've been building our robotic simulators in Rust for the past 3 years and I have the exact same experience. So far, I think, we've encountered maybe 5 actual runtime bugs over the last 3 years. Sure rust has some problems and yes the async isn't fully there yet, but overal the benefits outweigh the problems.
Dinux··on The first conformant M1 GPU driver
What? I'd argue the graphics APIs are one of the most important interfaces right now. It's not that we all feel good if apple would adhere to standards for once, it's supporting a legacy of applications that have been build over the last 20 years or so. Allowing a platform to be used however the rest of the industry has been evolving, not cheap vendor locking
Dinux··on Virtual Threads Arrive in JDK 21, Ushering a New Era of Concurrency
Are you kidding me? If it wasn't for large enterprise corporations Java would be long dead by now. Ever since Oracle took over Java has seen almost no improvements. The logical comparison is Java to C#, and C# has seen _a lot_ of improvement over the last 7 years or so. It just so happens that Java is sometimes unavoidable for Android development were Kotlin is not (yet) possible.

Java is, like its large corporate users, stuck in the past.

Dinux··on Mountpoint – file client for S3 written in Rust, from AWS
This is exactly what I need. The current python scrips are good enough but a rust utility would be preferable
Dinux··on Urgent: Sign the petition now
For a moment I thought it was a joke, but no they seem for real
