KolmogorovComp··on Writergate: Zig I/O Interface Overhaul
I agree, the less batterie-complete STD become, the more everyone get its own half-baked utility one.
KolmogorovComp··on HTML over WebSockets: real-time SPAs with barely any JavaScript
I think you both had a different meaning behind the verb 'write'. You clearly refer to the physical act of writing, while OP refer's to writing as an author (ie be enjoyable to read), which most people never achieve.
KolmogorovComp··on HTML over WebSockets: real-time SPAs with barely any JavaScript
> The number is real. But there's a catch.

> The gap vanishes. It isn't measuring WebSocket against SSE, it's measuring

> And here is the deeper part the reply misses:

> In short, it isn't a structural problem, it's a design one.

> The real argument isn't the wire, it's the architecture

> Where SSE genuinely wins

> What really separates the two models is the architecture

KolmogorovComp··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
How do you solve the issues of private key sharings that are stored in cwd .env? I haven’t found a satisfactory way to preserve them while letting the agent have access.
KolmogorovComp··on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
Looking at the caching price of deepseek compared to its competitors, does it have a secret sauce or is it just subsidizing?
KolmogorovComp··on Responding to the next frontier of critical cyber capabilities
Am I the only one not understanding the issue around increased Cybersecurity capabilities?

If we consider the amount of RCE/CVE in a software to be limited, I expect these models to result in massively more secured softwares, not less.

KolmogorovComp··on GitHub Actions and Pages are experiencing degraded availability
Almost no FOSS project is going to move away despite the issues, because the free tier of GitHub Action is very generous and afaik is largely unmatched.
KolmogorovComp··on Making Postgres 300x faster for analytics: batching, operator fusion, and SIMD
Thanks to the authors for choosing a license that respect users freedom, on top of being an awesome technical project.
KolmogorovComp··on MariaDB: Promote getting to 10k GitHub stars in server log and client prompt
It will be interesting to see the uptick in stars if any.

The real gold in this thread however is the link to https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02...

Seriously, it's a wild (and heart-breaking) story about js-core maintainer adding a similar line for funding, receiving many hateful answers, while in debt and even going to prison, then not being able to leaveRussia, just for the sake of continuing to maitain his FOSS lib.

I've posted it as a separate entry because it definitely needs more visibility.

KolmogorovComp··on Twenty Years of Pandoc
I can only imagine the hell it must be when the AST is changed to update all inbound and outbound code.
KolmogorovComp··on Bonsai: Janestreet's UI Library
But AI do benefit a lot from a strict compiler, and having a simple language improve a lot on type-safety, so I don't think it is to throw, even today.
KolmogorovComp··on Go 1.27 Interactive Tour
Instead of having each language bring progress in a different and/or novel, we get this, old java features that comes 20 years-in after the making.

They're probably useful, but clearly not sexy (as golang in general).

KolmogorovComp··on I don't recommend Tailwind CSS
Same, my need for tailwind got completely ridden when I started using Svelte, thanks to the CSS-scoping it entailed.
KolmogorovComp··on Tell HN: I hate your fuzzy search
Teams, Zulip, WhatsApp, they all suck so much... Discord is decent in my experience.
KolmogorovComp··on Ukraine's Kill Zone
Thanks for sharing, very clear and impressive overview.
KolmogorovComp··on AI's top startups are barely publishing their research
To scan them, they usually have to resort breaking them into individual pages.
KolmogorovComp··on Watching Go's new garbage collector move through the heap
thank you for the link, great and well-explained talk.
KolmogorovComp··on Watching Go's new garbage collector move through the heap
Ah it's from 2023, Miguel de Icaza : Swift Godot: Fixing the Multi-million dollar mistake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzt36EGKEZo

Highly recommend.

KolmogorovComp··on Watching Go's new garbage collector move through the heap
Tangential but this makes me think of a video about C# GC, and the developer switching to Swift to avoid it, in which the dev says they estimate the development of a pause-less GC to be 5B$ R&D away, does that ring the bell to anyone?
KolmogorovComp··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
Thanks for the insights, are the skills available anywhere?
KolmogorovComp··on CoMaps – FOSS Offline Maps
Tangential, but does anyone know if an app exists that that the video feed of your phone with the GPS loc and reads the signs from the road and compare it to OSM to update it if necessary?

Let’s be clear, in the end I use Waze for routing due to the traffic updates, but I see sometimes outdated speed limits and know OSM is one of its sources.

KolmogorovComp··on CoMaps – FOSS Offline Maps
Very good for trails
KolmogorovComp··on Organic Maps
I just wished Organic Map had a better way to download many countries/regions at once.

I frequently use it in the airplane without WiFi and wish to have high definition, but downloading country by country is too cumbersome.

KolmogorovComp··on Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot
What's the credit cost compared to Gemini, Claude and GPT? As others have said, the last month price update killed copilot for good.
KolmogorovComp··on Asahi Linux 7.1 Progress Report
It's a shame (in practice, although I get the philosophical idea).

I think the lawsuit chances are very low because FAANG right now depend way too much on LLM being legal, so they would not want to shoot themselves in the foot.

KolmogorovComp··on Asahi Linux 7.1 Progress Report
I wonder how much LLMs have been leveraged to help Asahi lately, there’s extremely powerful for reverse-engineering. Have they written about it?
KolmogorovComp··on The Boeing 747 begins its final descent
No, the highest risk for dual engine failure is bird strike.
KolmogorovComp··on The best response to AI slop and online noise is from Robin Williams
The reality is that the extremely large majority of people (especially in developed countries), have not experienced anything close to Robin William's character, nor do they have the slightest portion of Damon's character knowledge. So it's a weak argument against LLM.

But the extract is just an example for the author, whose thinking really boils down to "human have something that machine will never replace". It's fine if you believe in supernatural force, but otherwise, it's just another jest of human arrogance. That's not to say transformer architecture will be enough to completely outcompete humans, I have the honesty to say I don't know.

KolmogorovComp··on The AirPods Effect
So you’re wasting both your time and theirs, for no reasons. Instead, try politely signaling you’re not interested.

That being said, fortunately it’s easy to see people who like to talk.

KolmogorovComp··on The AirPods Effect
Thank you, don’t worry you are not alone.
