Jyaif··on macOS needs its grid back
> I’ve had feedback this name is terrible

GridLion is an excellent name

Jyaif··on Stack Overflow’s forum is dead but the company’s still kicking
> How do you envision the correctness of these solutions being judged?

By LLMs. I think it's possible for agents to infer whether the user was satisfied or not, at least with my usage pattern. For example if I end the discussion it's a good sign. If I ask follow up question that look like workarounds, it's a bad sign :-)

You could also simply prompt the users whether they were satisfied with the answer they received, possibly incentivizing them with StackOverflow-style gamification.

Jyaif··on Stack Overflow’s forum is dead but the company’s still kicking
We unironically need an StackOverflow for LLMs.

LLMs would post solutions to the issues that they've discovered after doing a lot of research.

Unfortunately the LLMs are concentrated into few providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) so there's a chance they each end up doing their own private (and closed) StackOverflows. By leveraging their private StackOverflows, their LLMs will be able to short-circuit complex reasoning, saving tokens, time, and money.

Jyaif··on Germany news: Childfree adults to pay more for elder care
What are the chances it goes through?
Jyaif··on Ferrari Luce
A sign that you are paying for the logo is that it's present 8 times freaking times on the body.

And just to be sure you get it, "Ferrari" is also spelled out.

Jyaif··on The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics
it could replace a bunch of $100k+/year workers.
Jyaif··on Software Developers Say AI Is Rotting Their Brains
I love AI, but it's possible that we are in an temporary golden age of software development because of 3 things:

1. The software is simple because lowly humans wrote them and debugged them and maintained them.

2. The humans are competent in software engineering.

3. All of a sudden we now have help from AI.

Point 3. is here to stay, but 1. and 2. could disappear.

Jyaif··on 245TB Micron 6600 ION Data Center SSD Now Shipping
Perhaps additional financial incentives for people to not spend hours of their day in cars is a good thing?
Jyaif··on Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
Eventually all the domain name purchasing will be done by agents. (Easiest prediction ever)
Jyaif··on A physics engine with incremental rollback for multiplayer games
How big is the state that you want to rollback?
Jyaif··on Ti-84 Evo
And you can tell that TI pretty clearly copied the NumWorks calculator.
Jyaif··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
Those transparent bezel look incredibly good.
Jyaif··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
Machines were roughly doubling in performance every year back in 2000.

Nowadays they are doubling in performance every... 5 years?

Jyaif··on Game devs explain the tricks involved with letting you pause a game
> not much preventing your game engine from having a pluggable system where you could have the various different patches of the game engine ship with every subsequent release of the game

Starcraft 2 does that. It's still quite an achievement.

Jyaif··on Tracking down a 25% Regression on LLVM RISC-V
Folks that do this work for "free" do it because they enjoy it.

And a small observation: if you require money to do something, you usually have no chance of being as good as the folks that do it for the pleasure.

Jyaif··on France to ditch Windows for Linux to reduce reliance on US tech
Unless you need some windows-only software, using windows at this point is masochism. I was never a fan of Linux, but the Microsoft driven enshitification is so strong that Linux is now a better option. To win, all Linux had to do is stand still, and that's exactly what it did! Ubuntu in 2026 is pretty much the same as Ubuntu from 2006.
Jyaif··on Claude Is Dead
Despite all the investments, the industry can't keep up with the demand for AI. And that's when the industry isn't even offering state of the art AI.
Jyaif··on Anthropic expands partnership with Google and Broadcom for next-gen compute
TSMC builds the TPU chip. Broadcom does the rest of the electronics (motherboard, networking, etc...)
Jyaif··on Show HN: Minimal Brain Teaser Web Game (Handcrafted, No AI)
Truly excellent!
Jyaif··on Apple removes iPhone vibe coding app from app store
> browsers are the most battle tested sandbox out there

The most battle tested sandbox... after operating system. After all, browsers rely on the OS to provide the primitives for their sandboxes.

And curiously those primitives are not exposed by iOS.

Jyaif··on Wedeo – a Rust Rewrite of FFmpeg
What's the unsafe situation like in Wedeo?
Jyaif··on Show HN: Browser grand strategy game for hundreds of players on huge maps
Judging by the error messages, it looks like it's a bevy+wasm project. So it's not a simple fork of OpenFront.
Jyaif··on Faster asin() was hiding in plain sight
By interpolating between values you can get excellent results with LUTs much smaller than 32KB. Will it be faster than the computation from op, that I don't know.
Jyaif··on The hidden compile-time cost of C++26 reflection

+1

Rust really showed some of us how lucky we were with C++.

Jyaif··on Read Locks Are Not Your Friends
And a Rust equivalent of folly::SharedMutex: https://docs.rs/crossbeam-utils/latest/crossbeam_utils/sync/...
Jyaif··on Binance fired employees who found $1.7B in crypto was sent to Iran
That's not transferring the bitcoin, that's giving potentially temporary shared access to the bitcoin.

The other party then needs to transfer the bitcoin to make sure the original party doesn't use it.

Jyaif··on I built Timeframe, our family e-paper dashboard
You can also buy some for less than $100.

I can vouch for the reTerminal: the build quality is excellent, and they come with a battery, sd card reader, and some sensors: https://www.seeedstudio.com/reTerminal-E1001-p-6534.html

Jyaif··on Using go fix to modernize Go code
I probably agree that they don't protect you from all deadlocks, but some languages protect you from some dead locks.
Jyaif··on Using go fix to modernize Go code
> a subtle data race and a rare deadlock

That's a langage problem that humans face as well, which golang could stop having (see C++'s Thread Safety annotations).

Jyaif··on Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are sold out for the year, says WD
does that only include SSDs, or does it include HDDs as well?
