hu3··on AMD will bring its “Ryzen AI” processors to standard desktop PCs for first time
I got lucky on the timing and got 9800X3D + 64GB DDR5 before prices increased.

Your machine is sweet and probably runs just as fast on most tasks. I wouldn't be in n a hurry to upgrade.

I upgraded from an old Intel i7.

hu3··on GPT-5.4
indeed and I suspect it can be attributed to, at least in part, the improved playwright integration.

> we’re also releasing an experimental Codex skill called “Playwright (Interactive) (opens in a new window)”. This allows Codex to visually debug web and Electron apps; it can even be used to test an app it’s building, as it’s building it.

hu3··on No right to relicense this project
I torn on where the line should be drawn.

If the code is different but API compatible, Google Java vs Oracle Java case shows that if the implementation is different enough, it can be considered a new implementation. Clean room or not.

hu3··on Building a new Flash
Isn't it dangerous to give up all the code of a commercial software in the age of LLM?

Competition can clone the project in another language and lipstick it to look different.

hu3··on MacBook Neo
It obvious does, with reference counting. Otherwise programs would just balloon in memory.
hu3··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
I can buy a laptop right now close to home and it comes with power adapter.
hu3··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
Sometimes it really needs a lot of data to work.
hu3··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
Just yesterday, my colleague's mac Time Machine couldn't recover backup and they had to reinstall everything.

But I think this predates Tahoe.

hu3··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
What about real workloads? Because as context gets larger, these local LLMs aproxiate the useless end of the spectrum with regards to t/s.
hu3··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
It did change. They bumped $200 on the entire line. So even the 16GB version is more expensive.

I'd love to have customers like Apple. Bumps $200: "it didn't change!!!"

And no power adapter included.

hu3··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
Recycling when it could run Linux after Apple stops supporting it? That would be much better for the environment.
hu3··on A case for Go as the best language for AI agents
Yes, breaking changes. And many ways to do the same thing because the language kept evolving (thankfully).
hu3··on A case for Go as the best language for AI agents
Which is slow and heavy in Rust. All languages have that but faster (and simpler due to no lifetimes).
hu3··on A case for Go as the best language for AI agents
Which it obviously can't be because it has an anemic standard library and depends on creates for basic things like error handling and async.

Not to mention it's one of the slowest compilation of recent languages if not the slowest (maybe Kotlin).

hu3··on A case for Go as the best language for AI agents
Java has decade(s) of cruft and breaking changes which LLMs were trained on. It's hard to compare. Plus Go compilation speed/test running provides quick iteration for LLMs.
hu3··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
At the very least it is one less TSMC 3nm chip in the hands of competition.

So even if they break even, which I highly doubt, they would rather use it in a kids tablet than let the competition use it to power a flagship phone.

hu3··on Making Video Games in 2025 (without an engine)
C# + https://monogame.net

- Desktop: Windows, MacOS, Linux

- Mobile: Android, iOS, iPadOS

- Console: Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch

It used to be XNA but then Microsoft discontinued and the community created the API compatible MonoGame.

Notable games: Terraria (when it was XNA), Stardew Valley, Celeste, Terraria and Fez.

hu3··on You don't have to
"I would have written a shorter letter, but did not have the time."

Blaise Pascal, French mathematician, in “Lettres Provinciales,” circa 1657.

hu3··on Microgpt
I made an explicit double-reverse pass (no code!), it was 80x faster in my head!

As I predicted, we'll have to agree to disagree.

But not all is lost, the search link is there for those who want to educate themselves.

And you "parroting" comment is exibit A of described toxic behaviour.

hu3··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
First link:

"Based on our findings, some of the various forms of sexual torture, such as the rape of virgin girls prior to their execution, were conducted in a systematic way and were based on the interpretation of an order by Ayatollah Khomeini (1979-1989), the Islamic Republic Supreme Leader at the time."

I really don't want this on my comment history but here you go:

~redacted google serarch~

And I understand your point. There's a ton of bias. We must be careful with the "facts" on the internet.

Admitedly, these link results don't inspire me much confidence.

hu3··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
That's one way to put it.

Another view can be: ending a 36 years long autoritarian, human rights infriging, regime with very few casualities.

hu3··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
I have no horse in this race but I did find some daunting google results about that.
hu3··on Rust is just a tool
Thanks for yet another example if toxic behaviour by that community. So now arguing is also "parroting".

If you were discussing in good faith, instead of belitling arguments as "parroting" you'd use something like algolia to find the answer for yourself. And you could have an easy start by finding comments from the links on this post alone. Let alone 10 in the entire HN in the last month. But that is of little interest I see.

Funnily I already see some on the first page, incredible:

That's a nice way to handwave drive-by unproductive "rust btw" commnents.

Sure there's comments on all spectrums. But rust commenters are on an extreme end of it when it comes to making sure the world knows how other languages are inferior and often their users too.

Luckily software development is not a static crime to be solved.

It's an evergreen field to be researched forever. With languages coming and going. ;)

hu3··on Rust is just a tool
It's not marketing. It's just unproductive and incessant.

For example in this PHP post 3 days ago, ofc someone commented about how they ditched PHP and Go for Rust.

hu3··on Rust is just a tool
I think Rust has a big flaw to overcome in the age of LLMs: slow compilation.

If they can't fix this, a language with similar guarantees, even syntax, but fast compilation is bound to succeed in niches where Rust is desireable.

Iteration speed is a big bottleneck in agentic workflows. Well, any workflow.

hu3··on PostmarketOS in 2026-02: generic kernels, bans use of generative AI
No need to call names. And I don't understand your point. Are you calling their rules impossible to enforce?

As per their rules, their instance is not only against entire PRs but any AI assisted code.
