foo-bar-baz529··on Show HN: We Implemented the IPv8 Internet-Draft in Linux, Libc, and BGP
It’s true that satire is not always bad. But I dislike that they don’t make it obvious that this article is satire. It wastes people’s time who actually take it seriously (as we can see by the other HN comments). Or if it’s serious, then why is it on a satire site? They need to pick a lane and be clear about it.
foo-bar-baz529··on Show HN: We Implemented the IPv8 Internet-Draft in Linux, Libc, and BGP
The whole site appears to be satire, based on the homepage. I think we can ignore this article of theirs as well.
foo-bar-baz529··on Dear people who work at the airport
I dislike the sense of judgment from TSA officials when I don’t correctly predict which items they do/don’t want me to put in the tray. It’s not my fault that different airports seem to have completely different rules for the same items.
foo-bar-baz529··on Everyone should know SIMD
The vast majority of developers have 0 need for learning SIMD. Why mislead them, and make them feel like to be a "real" developer they have to know it?
foo-bar-baz529··on AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion
Hope they’re using 64 bits to store these prices
foo-bar-baz529··on How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing
Is this a belt-and-suspenders solution?
foo-bar-baz529··on What we call "age verification" is actually mass surveillance
I don’t think saving them from spying is the main concern. Instead it’s the direct negative effects of the usage upon the kids that’s the concern. Not that age verification isn’t problematic
foo-bar-baz529··on Is it time for a new Embedded Linux build system?
Why not Bazel?
foo-bar-baz529··on The hacker sent by Anthropic to calm the government's nerves about AI safety
Then why did curl only find one new vulnerability thanks to Mythos, and a low-priority one at that? It’s clear that other models are quite capable of finding largely the same vulnerabilities, and that the main key is simply running a frontier model in a good harness to find vulnerabilities.
foo-bar-baz529··on I'm Eric Ries, author of "The Lean Startup" and new book "Incorruptible" – AMA
The only thing that can topple Patagonia is Pattie Gonia
foo-bar-baz529··on Moving beyond fork() + exec()
This isn’t moving beyond fork and exec at all. It’s adding a complicated API for a marginal gain for a niche use case, and ignoring the actual big bottleneck of fork
foo-bar-baz529··on A Man Who Reads Books for a Living (One Every Two Days)
This seems like the kind of profession that AI would’ve already destroyed. Aren’t LLMs pretty good at what he’s doing?
foo-bar-baz529··on Snowboard Kids 2 is 100% Decompiled
How much have LLMs sped up these decompilations?
foo-bar-baz529··on Is AI causing a repeat of Front end's Lost Decade?
I just vibe code the html and css. I review the JS, but I figure if the flow of data is correct, I can just verify the html/css code through manual testing
foo-bar-baz529··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
Do you believe the immigrants in Ohio are eating the pet dogs? Because Trump sure does.
foo-bar-baz529··on Show HN: GlycemicGPT – Open-source AI-powered diabetes management
What’s the limit on badges in a README
foo-bar-baz529··on Swift bricks to be installed on all new buildings in Scotland
Are these Swift 6.3 bricks, or legacy ones?
foo-bar-baz529··on They Said It Would Cost $54M. We Said "No Thanks."
AI seems somewhat orthogonal. It may have sped up the timeline, but the people using it need to be competent in the first place.
foo-bar-baz529··on I let AI build a tool to help me figure out what was waking me up at night
This seems quite over engineered. They could’ve just left their phone recording overnight and done much simpler analysis on the big file. Maybe leverage LLM to write a 20-line python script, at most
foo-bar-baz529··on CUDA-oxide: Nvidia's official Rust to CUDA compiler
One thing I’ve been wary about with Rust for CUDA is the bit of overhead that Rust adds that is usually negligible but might matter here, like bounds checks on arrays. Could it cause additional registers to get used, lowering the concurrency of a kernel?
foo-bar-baz529··on Dav2d
They’re more of a D4vd fan
