Zagitta··on Gemini 4 Argon
Yeah that was abundantly clear when Bjarne Stroustrup published "A call to action: Think seriously about “safety”; then do something sensible about it"[0] as a reaction to NSA's recommendation to no longer use C/C++.

Zagitta··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
So now we're suddenly talking about living standards and not environmental regulation?

Your first 3 countries are also incredibly poor comparisons for living standards as they have horrendous work/life balance.

Zagitta··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
Farmers and right wing people in all of Europe are actively being disinformed by Russian intelligence service and either wilfully ignores it or too incompetent to realize it.
Zagitta··on Apple Watch Series 12
I mean it's nonsense, apple can update the "secure exclave" software at any time to exfiltrate the audio if they want or get ordered to.

If you read that quote carefully you'll also notice it's only the audio that's ever mentioned as inaccessible to apple etc but never mentions anything about the actual transcript, wanna bet that goes into their little advertisement venture?

There are kernel patches to enable P2P communication via PCIE on 3090 which is almost as fast as NVLink for vllm

Zagitta··on Apple's App Tracking Transparency treated its own apps better than rivals
Well you could argue all bundled OS apps should have a dialog similar to the browser selection Microsoft was forced to implement.
Zagitta··on Apple's App Tracking Transparency treated its own apps better than rivals
Regulations for user privacy shouldn't be conflated with regulations for market competition.

I also delight in this highlighting Apple's hypocrisy

Zagitta··on European digital ID wallets rely on safety services of Google and Apple
Can you imagine the collective screeching, across the White house, HN and Apple reality distortion field, that'd happen if EU attempted to breakup the American monopolies?

Electing to not do something impossible and framing it as a surrender is strange to me.

Zagitta··on Apple reveals new AI architecture built around Google Gemini models
This is moving goal posts, DMA is not requiring Apple to run anything on their cloud but merely provide third parties with same device API access.
Zagitta··on Apple reveals new AI architecture built around Google Gemini models
Ah yes something a trillion dollar tech company definitely is too inept to solve!
Zagitta··on Apple ignores DMA interoperability requests and contradicts own documentation
Why is it you feel the need to defend a trillion dollar company?
Zagitta··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
Because thirdparty keyboards are equally bugged. Sometimes keyboards simply fail to show up or cover app content without rhyme or reason. This happens across multiple thirdparty keyboards so it must be an ios issue.
Zagitta··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
It's hardly surprising when a large percentage of HN users will whiteknight a trillion dollar company whenever EU tells them to stop anti-competitive practices.

Tell that to my keyboard that doesn't show up half the time and the other half covers random parts of the app
Zagitta··on OracleGPT: Thought Experiment on an AI Powered Executive
Centralising it is definitely the wrong way to go about it.

It'd be much better to train an agent per citizen, that's in their control, and have it participate in a direct democracy setup.

Zagitta··on Poland's energy grid was targeted by never-before-seen wiper malware
You're conveniently omitting these all happened in response to the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But thanks for proving the point about Russia's disinformation war.

Zagitta··on Ground stop at JFK due to staffing
That just goes to show how big the rift in the western world has grown. I'm European, so to me healthcare is not a luxury no.
Zagitta··on Ground stop at JFK due to staffing
Planes transport more things than people, like organs for transplants. Are those a luxury too?

Calling it slop is generous, it's straight up hallucinations
Zagitta··on Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones
As someone who has a garmin watch and switched from android to iOS I can tell you it's exactly as crippled as the article spells out. So if anything garmin has a healthy smartwatch business in spite of apple trying their hardest to choke competition.
Zagitta··on Rust’s worst feature
Maybe Rust needs another type of reference that's exclusive write only? Right now there's RO (&T) and exclusive RW (&mut T) but WO is missing.

Having a WO reference would allow these read_buf APIs to express they only write and never read so the uninitialized memory is safe to pass directly.

Zagitta··on Rewriting Rust
And in a similar vein have they audited the runtimes of all the languages they use? Because those a dependencies too and in many ways even more critical than libraries.
Zagitta··on Pico 2 and RP2350 launch with choice of ARM or RISC-V
It seems like a really strange choice to me that they made the arm and riscv cores mutually exclusive in each core complex since this just wastes die space on the core you're not using which in turn drives up the cost.

I feel like it would've been preferable if they either went all in on riscv or at least made it so all 4 cores could be used at the same time.

But if I were to guess the performance of the riscv cores probably doesn't match the ARM cores so they weren't confident enough in shipping a pure riscv SoC like espressif does.

Any other guesses as to why they might've gone this route?

Zagitta··on Banish OEM self-signed certs forever and roll your own private LetsEncrypt
Orrr just buy a domain and get a wildcard LE cert? All of the benefits, none of the hassle, and no subdomain leaking.
