hu3··on Asahi Linux Progress Report: Linux 6.19
In my experience half the things I ran in Wine ran better in it than Windows.

So depending on what you want to run, not only did Wine catch up bit also surpassed.

How many USB ports does a MBA M1 have?

Now you have to walk around with a USB hub, for a subpar battery life.

hu3··on Closing this as we are no longer pursuing Swift adoption
Go never advertised, designed for, nor supported external usage of their backend.
hu3··on Closing this as we are no longer pursuing Swift adoption
some? It can happen with any language.
hu3··on Claude Sonnet 4.6
Sonnet 4.6 already available in VSCode Copilot Pro+ for me ($39/mo plan) on a 128K context size limit:

https://i.imgur.com/mHvtuz8.png

After some quick tests it seems faster than Sonnet 4.5 and slighly less smart than Opus 4.5/4.6.

But given the small 128k context size, I'm tempted to keep using GPT-5.3-Codex which has more than double context size and seems just as smart while costing the same (1x premium request) per prompt.

I have my reservations against OpenAI the company but not enough to sacrifice my productivity.

hu3··on Using go fix to modernize Go code
And the screamingly fast compilation speed is a boon to fast LLM iterations as well.
hu3··on OpenClaw (ClawdBot) joins OpenAI
It was obviously largely by the community. Just take a look at PRs.

Question is, will the community continue with this level of engagement on the project now that it has OpenAI stamp on it?

I highly doubt. A fork? Maybe.

hu3··on OpenClaw (ClawdBot) joins OpenAI
Even the thousands of integrations?

The strenght of openclaw is the massive community adherence.

It can connect to a ton of things.

It's like the https://zapier.com meets LLMs.

hu3··on I’m joining OpenAI
Where do you guys get the 1b exit from? I didn't see numbers yet.
hu3··on Descent, ported to the web
You might be able to invert it on your OS.
hu3··on Zig – io_uring and Grand Central Dispatch std.Io implementations landed
They probably probably thought that this warning was clear enough:

"should be considered experimental because there is important followup work to be done"

I guess not clear enough to some people.

hu3··on Zig – io_uring and Grand Central Dispatch std.Io implementations landed
Great clickbait title for a Rust conference.

But in the video he says they are starting with critical systems first.

Emphasis on starting.

So yeah, not as pervasive as you, the evangelists or that video title implies.

hu3··on Zig – io_uring and Grand Central Dispatch std.Io implementations landed
It's not as widespread in these companies as you and many Rust evangelists imply it is.

Specially because it's not a drop-in replacement for C++. As Zig is for C.

So when Zig hits 1.0 these companies will probably consider Zig much more than they do today. Understandably.

hu3··on Zig – io_uring and Grand Central Dispatch std.Io implementations landed
It's not v1.0 and they don't claim to be.

So what is your point?

hu3··on Zig – io_uring and Grand Central Dispatch std.Io implementations landed
They aknowlege that at the beggining of the post?

> They are now available to tinker with, by constructing one’s application using std.Io.Evented. They should be considered experimental because there is important followup work to be done before they can be used reliably and robustly:

And then they proceed to list 6 important pending work to be done.

hu3··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
Right? Most people encase it in an opaque phone case anyway.
hu3··on GPT-5.3-Codex being routed to GPT-5.2
Yep. And it gets worse. They might start hidding the information about the actual model used for each prompt. If not already.
hu3··on Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
it's very effective.

and there's even a "hide" link.

hu3··on Why E cores make Apple silicon fast
I'm sure there are some OS worse than macOS but that's not a high bar to clear.
hu3··on Why E cores make Apple silicon fast
maybe. But then you have to use macOS which by far not the best OS
hu3··on Bun v1.3.9
It's still much less dependable compared to something fully supported like Bun.
hu3··on Claude Code Is the Inflection Point
It doesn't exist in a vacuum tho.

One must compare to other models such as Geminis ad GPTs.

hu3··on I now assume that all ads on Apple news are scams
What do you suggest I setup for my wife's iPhone?

And does it block ads on Apple News?

hu3··on I now assume that all ads on Apple news are scams
> but if I remove it the total cost goes up.

That's because they know that in Apple News+ you are the product and their profit lowers if you block their ads by disabling the app.

hu3··on I now assume that all ads on Apple news are scams
The point is that Apple marketing positions themselves as premium. So most people generally expect better than "the norm" from them.

People use to say "I feel safe giving an iPhone to grandma because the wallet garden protects her".

Well that argument falls short when Apple allows Taboola of all scam ad networks the be present in their news app.

Or when app store search results is filled with misleading ads.

hu3··on I now assume that all ads on Apple news are scams
No, some of them DO take people's money and shutdown without delivering anything or do deliver some fake crap that buys them just enough time to function a little longer before shutting down again.

Taboola is a scammers paradise and I'm surprised Apple touched them with a 10 foot pole even.

hu3··on Postgres Postmaster does not scale
that's too simplistic.

there are many reasons to need something like pgbouncer.

1) not all workloads lend themselves to backend pools

2) not all backends can afford pooling

3) you don't always control your backend

4) you might have a lot of different backends connecting to the database. it's much simpler to just tell them to connect to pgbouncer.

5) you don't want to trust backend team to not bring postgresql down with many simultaneolus connections.

6) backend pools often misbehave

people don't wake up one day and just add another cog to their infrastructure randomly.

hu3··on China-made Loongson 12-core chip 3x slower than 6 core Ryzen 5 9600X
I found this interesting because I foresee China catching up rapidly just like they did with cars.
hu3··on Postgres Postmaster does not scale
I disagree. If that was the case, pgBouncer wouldn't need to exist.

The problem of resource usage for many connections is real.

hu3··on Many people have no mental imagery. What's going on in their brains?
traumas for one. not being able to picture some traumatic event surely helps
