DrBenCarsonon Unikernels were hard. key word: were

Yep. We say cattle not pets, but even cattle often need personal attention for one reason or another. It doesn’t mean you’ll never need that option in your back pocket

DrBenCarsonon PS5 Relapse Exploit

They’ll probably need to design new silicon that is much more GPU oriented (with less CPU) than anything they have in the A or even base M series to handle 4k gaming at sub-M Max prices

A console-optimized lower-priced higher-GPU variant of the A series could be useful for local AI in so many products that don’t come with a capable processor (eg homepods, TV, the monitor they put a whole iPhone chip in)

I could see something for around the price of a Mac Mini with a controller that’s og MacBook plastic white/black

DrBenCarsonon Navier-Stokes Announcement

> Today, CMI shares in the excitement of the global mathematical community as we contemplate the announcement that the Navier-Stokes problem has apparently been settled. We hope to see waves of new human understanding unleashed as the innovations behind this work are analysed and interrogated.

That “apparently” feels load-bearing

DrBenCarsonon Cursor launches Origin, GitHub alternative

Come on, man. Not allowing products to generate CP is too high of a bar?

By your logic cops should be focused on the junkies, forget about the cartel

If you're willing to trust them with all your source code...kudos, I really wish I had your level of trust and delusion

DrBenCarsonon DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 Publish

Same trick that had 737s falling out the sky (obviously different risk level involved in each )

DrBenCarsonon Qwen3.8-2.4T

There’s an alternate universe in which OpenAI stays open, licenses according to revenue, Chinese models don’t gain traction in the US because domestic models take all the capacity…whatever, $1T IPO beats the right answer ever time

DrBenCarsonon Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta warn against overregulating open-weight models

Excellent, that’s what people have been doing for 40 years. Surely that means the models have 0 hope of finding successful attack vectors

DrBenCarsonon Startup founders urge U.S. government not to shut off Chinese open weight AI

Remember when OpenAI were wise enough to know OpenAI should be…open?

Greed will cost America the entire AI market at this rate

DrBenCarsonon Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain

But yes types are necessary for enterprise adoption. Even more important for agentic adoption.

DrBenCarsonon GTA 6 Developers Unionize

Most massive studios have their own which they use across a bunch of titles

DrBenCarsonon GTA 6 Developers Unionize

Video game development is largely grunt work outside of the engine

DrBenCarsonon What Apple and Google are doing to push notifications

Vast majority of software should not be able to send a push notification. Send an email if you need to alert me.

DrBenCarsonon Mullvad exit IPs are surprisingly identifying

Public VPNs only protect you from your ISP

DrBenCarsonon Running local models on an M4 with 24GB memory

Sorry, @grok is offline after declaring himself MechaMussolini earlier today

DrBenCarsonon Running local models on an M4 with 24GB memory

How are you using that RAM with the GPU?

DrBenCarsonon I am worried about Bun

Disagree, you definitely don’t want to be looking back saying “hm I knew it, I saw the signs, should have trusted myself”

Plus it’s not a huge lift right now

DrBenCarsonon I am worried about Bun

I made this exact same decisions (bun -> pnpm) for similar reasons, mostly bc I didn’t like how haphazardly a core part of the stack was being vibe coded. Too many changes too quickly for something that’s supposed to be stable

DrBenCarsonon Microsoft and OpenAI end their exclusive and revenue-sharing deal

We were supposed to have AGI last summer. Obviously it is so smart that it has decided to pull a veil over our eyes and live amongst us undetected (this is a joke, if you feel your LLM is sentient, talk to a doctor)

DrBenCarsonon Show HN: Orange Juice – Small UX improvements that make HN easier to read

…why?

DrBenCarsonon Google AI Studio is now sponsoring Tailwind CSS

Didn’t they open source Kubernetes (aka probably the biggest OSS project since Linux itself)

DrBenCarsonon Charles Proxy

Alltime great software

I’m on proxyman https://proxyman.com/

DrBenCarsonon AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1

Yep. Many, many companies are fine saying “we’re going to be no more available than AWS is.”

DrBenCarsonon Liquibase continues to advertise itself as "open source" despite license switch

I would imagine Flyway would be the most robust alternative
