  • We Rewrote JSONata with AI in a Day, Saved $500K/Year

    Jump

  • As a POC for experimentation I don't think it's bad. Like I wonder about the cost cuts this would help us with. I did this once with wappalyzer built in Rust with Python bindings but the plan was to throw it away and have a real dev do it properly later. So these people spent 400 usd on tokens, saved 500k, but stopped there and called it a win. I can foresee this blowing up in many ways and I don't see the open sourse community stepping in to maintain slop.

  • Surge in Systemd forks after the latest changes

    Jump

  • Lovely!

    I wanted to fork too but wanted a more carefully planned one (avoid reverting the new time utility names in case they will be re-used in the future & to make syncing newer changes from upstream straightforward otherwise it will not be a one-to-one replacement)

    I would love to help with your fork, allocate a worker to build a binary from the CI, create an AUR package (I already studied the systemd arch package a little bit), start using the fork and hopefully with some PRs too. Discord is blocked where I am so it would be cool to have a matrix group / space for this effort and let's see how far we can push this. Because if this doesn't work, I will be moving to Artix or Gentoo 100%

  • Electric cars proved that petrol & gasoline cars are a scam for so many reasons (more robust, better speed, easier to maintain engine, no dependency on oil and hopefully less wars, ...)

  • Quillx is an open standard for disclosing AI involvement in software projects

    Jump

  • Sounds like a great initiative, my only question is how to verify that? just trust whatever people self report? people like to look cool, there are studies that support that, I think the next natural step is to build/tune a model to rate how much of any project is AI generated.

  • Python: The Optimization Ladder

    Jump

  • A very well put article for sure but I want to comment on one thing.

    Saying the cost of the performance is due to Python being too dynamic is a valid point for sure, but who needs that really? you can't use any of those dymanic features in production/entreprise setup. Somebody will scream at you if you do, you generally always aim for simple, testable, annotated, debuggable linear designs if you want your program to live more than a few months, hence you end up with projects that look like Golang or Rust and at that point the argument "just use a real programming language" becomes a valid one (there are great dynamic features but it's not best practice to use them in production and you have to annotate you programs for static typing checks).

    I remember Guido saying in Lex Fridman Podcast that google created golang because they hate C but it's ending up replacing Python and I can't agree more with this statement from my experience.

    So yeah, it depends, for smallish projects and glue code, it's still a good bet, anything beyond that and you will regret it shortly after. From a recent example I needed a Matrix server, Synapse (written in Python) froze a 16Gb 4vcpus VPS instantly, while Tuwunel (written in Rust) is barely occupying 400MB and super responsive.

  • Why does AI tell you to use Terminal so much?

    Jump

  • because it's text in and out exactly what LLMs have been trained on?

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

    Jump

  • can men avoid women drivers and passengers too?

  • Google just gave Sundar Pichai a $692M pay package

    Jump

  • Except that Google is becoming a zombie company under him like IBM. Google search is trash, GCP will never take off, Youtube might or might not survive the slop, ...

  • bruh, that's the first time HN having a normal honest discussion and pointing pros and cons, maybe the trolls didn't wake up yet?

    oh nevermind, it got flagged by HN lol

  • Google ends its 30 percent app store fee and welcomes third-party app stores

  • Can't wait to jump ship to moto+graphene even if Google will start giving me a salary to join their botnet. I owned moto Z2 6 years ago and that shit doesn't break no matter how much abuse it got.

    Also, this was a massive missed opportunity by Huawei, Nokia and the rest trying to make a comeback.

  • US Military says 3 service members have been killed

    Jump

  • 3 dead but somehow 300 coffins arrived

    Naturally, the US will be extremely interested in concealing and underreporting losses, because the higher the losses, the greater the cost for Trump. These coffins will be held against him.

  • Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule

    Jump

  • What a weird title. Even if true, it didn't end anything. This is like killing the pope, you are just making people more pissed without ending anything.

  • Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%

  • lovely, time to start self hosting in my old PCs again. Let it burn.

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras

  • Just install other flock cameras to protect the first ones or better hire some cops to do that, oh wait
