maartin0··on Unsealed Briefs in Authors’ Case v. Microsoft/OpenAI
Does anyone have any predictions as to what impact this will actually have for OpenAI? Could it be anything more than just paying a large sum of money?
maartin0··on ESP32-S31: Dual-Core RISC-V SoC with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and Advanced HMI
It reminds me a bit of the new STM32s (STM32MP2) which are actually 64 bit, but they kept the name STM32 because everyone knows it
maartin0··on Fedware: Government apps that spy harder than the apps they ban
In their defence, there is a fairly nice website too, not sure why it needs to have its own logo though

maartin0··on Show HN: GitHub Browser Plugin for AI Contribution Blame in Pull Requests
I guess because 99% of generated code will likely need significant edits, so you'd never want to commit direct "AI contributions" - you don't commit every time you take something from StackOverflow, likewise I wonder if people might start adding credit comments to LLMs?
maartin0··on What's up with all those equals signs anyway?
Fun how the archive.today article near the top has this exact issue

maartin0··on enclose.horse
It has a very pleasant editor to make + share custom maps, e.g. https://enclose.horse/play/a3OGcW
maartin0··on Total monthly number of StackOverflow questions over time
OP here: I had the same thought, but noticed a very similar trend in both [0]; I think this graph is more interesting because you'd expect the number of new users to be growing [1], but this seems to have very little effect on deleted questions or even answers

[0]: https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1927371#g...

[1]: https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1927375#g...

The second graph here ([1]) is especially interesting because the total montly number of new users seems completely unrelated to number of posts, until you filter for a rep > 1 which has a close to identical trend

maartin0··on MinIO is now in maintenance-mode
It's great for a prototype which doesn't need to store a huge amount of data, you can run it on the same VM as a node server behind Cloudflare and get a fairly reliable setup going
maartin0··on Linux Kernel Explorer
I really like this reactive guide style interface, which maybe could be quite a good project idea like mdBook[1] but also you to insert quizzes/examples alongside static notes

maartin0··on We Induced Smells With Ultrasound
I had the same thought - I guess it's similar to that idea that if you had someone else's eyes, you might not perceive specific colours to be the same?

But actually it sort of makes sense since (from what I understand) is stimulating an external interface (the receptors), so you're mimicing what the effect a smell would have on you rather than the electrical signal created by the response to a stimulus?

maartin0··on Llmdeathcount.com
Maybe not the entire internet, but this absolutely true for TikTok/Instagram-like algorithms
maartin0··on V8 Garbage Collector
What does FTE stand for?:

> From what I can tell, there have been about 4 FTE from Google over this period

maartin0··on Big Tech Needs $2T in AI Revenue by 2030
Out of interest, do you have any specific examples of this?
maartin0··on From VS Code to Helix
I've tried Neovim, but still use VSCode because everything either works out of the box or takes 2 clicks to install an extension for and things like drag and drop into the file explorer or the remote extension make it really quick to use.

The only other real GUI contender I've seen is Jetbrains's IDEs (the free educational plan is great) but having seperate IDEs for different languages gets a bit annoying if you have multi language projects (e.g. a Rust backend hosting a Typescript frontend)

maartin0··on I regret building this $3000 Pi AI cluster
Not completely related, but do you know if hardware kickstarters typically have any IP protection? I'm surprised there haven't been any cases of large companies creating patents for ideas from kickstarter at least that I've seen
maartin0··on Google's Liquid Cooling
Slightly old but interesting https://blog.equinix.com/blog/2024/09/19/how-data-centers-us...
maartin0··on Ask HN: Has anybody built search on top of Anna's Archive?
There's actually section in the Wikipedia page that explicitly says DeepSeek was trained on it
maartin0··on Fun ways of deciding authorship order (2016)
They're not redacted. If you zoom in you'll just see a very large number of stacked names which is ironic (I thought the same for a second)
maartin0··on Online Embedded Rust Simulator
I noticed you can create custom chips using Verilog which I will definitely try at some point. Seems like it could be a pretty useful tool to learn/test designs in.
