bdhcuidbebe··on Show HN: I built a Rust crate for running unsafe code safely
> I don’t write very much unsafe Rust code… but when I do, it’s because I’m calling the Win32 API.

Check out windows-rs instead.

You are just guessing, please stop. Also, you’re wrong. All serious scraping is using browsers today.
bdhcuidbebe··on EU: These are scary times – let's backdoor encryption
> coming from people from the more developed and less corrupt northern countries

Your opinions, not facts.

Corruption in Nordic countries, especially Sweden has been on the rise for 2 decades.

What did I miss, did Trump replace the english language now?

I’d guess Daniel pronounce it as ”kurl”, with a hard C like in ”crust”, since hes swedish.
bdhcuidbebe··on Senior Developer Skills in the AI Age
> It's so funny how these AI bros make excuse after excuse for glaring issues rather than just accept AI doesn't actually understand what it's doing

Its less funny when you realize how few of these people even have experience reading and writing code.

They just see code on screen, trust the machine and proclaim victory.

bdhcuidbebe··on Senior Developer Skills in the AI Age
I expect some of the big companies that went all in on relying on AI to fall in the coming years.

It will take some time tho, as decision makers will struggle to make up reasons why why noone on the payroll is able to fix production.

bdhcuidbebe··on Senior Developer Skills in the AI Age
There was alot going on in the years before ChatGPT. Text generation was going strong with interactive fiction before anyone were talking about OpenAI.

> What's wrong with propaganda?

Really? What makes you even type that out.

bdhcuidbebe··on Buy once, use forever A directory of one-time purchase software
Sure. Initial submission was just 20$.

I lived long enough to recognize a grifter.

bdhcuidbebe··on Buy once, use forever A directory of one-time purchase software. Add yours
”Get featured for $99” makes me dismiss the whole list.

Which is sad, as it was a good idea. Someone make an awesome-github repo instead please.

bdhcuidbebe··on NixOS and reproducible builds could have detected the xz backdoor
This article suggests that Nix could have prevented xz backdoor, only to conclude that backdoor could be avoided by building from a git tag rather than source tarball.

This is true for every distro and it grinds me that Nix is even mentioned.

> It's an algorithm. Why are we calling it "AI?"

And inference isnt? Explain your reasoning pls.

bdhcuidbebe··on AMC Theatres will screen a Swedish movie 'visually dubbed' with the help of AI
Sovietmoviesonline, eh?

Got any soviet movie recommendations that isnt straight up propaganda material? Did they even produce non propaganda?

Its a cool movie but boy I wish people just learnt to read subtitles.
bdhcuidbebe··on Executive Order Shutting Down Department of Education
Dumb people voted them in, dumb people made them rich and they know it.

This is staring to look more like an assault on the educated. Maybe its time we sharpen our pencils.

bdhcuidbebe··on Spotify's Beta Used 'Pirate' MP3 Files, Some from Pirate Bay (2017)
I was in the spotify beta, can confirm it was all pirated mp3. The client would even upload all songs I had and they didnt to their cloud.

The worst part to me was the beta account was a lifetime premium which they just turned into a free account along the way, after snagging my mp3 collection.

How are your AI based tool any different?

bdhcuidbebe··on Show HN: Electro – A hyper-fast Windows image viewer with a built-in terminal
Cool! Any plans for linux/macOS?

I’m currently using oculante specifically for its speed, rust and cross platform.

Not sure this electro viewer is for me, as I see typescript and css frontend.

bdhcuidbebe··on Torvalds: You can avoid Rust as a C maintainer, but you can't interfere with it
Just stop with the sarcasm, it doesnt belong here.
bdhcuidbebe··on Fly To Podman: a script that will help you to migrate from Docker
> So where is the upside other than where your trust lies?

The upside is political rather than technical, in that Docker signalef multiple times before they happily will pull the rug for developers.

Moving away from that is the driving motivation for using podman. The fact that podman happens to be better engineered is just added bonus.

bdhcuidbebe··on NASA Downgrades the Risk of 2024 YR4 to Below 1%
The sea level rose by a centimeter since 2000 due to melting polar caps, everyone on earth has microplastic in their organs now and land is made permanently inhospitable by industry waste faster than ever. Agriculture is breaking down because of monocultures and overuse of fertilizers, leading to faster soil erosion and guess what? we are running out of fertilizers. Soon our only hope is to mine Greenland for the last of it.

Speaking of running out, we are fast approaching peak oil and peak copper.

PFAS is polluting our drinking water and destertification is spreading. Wildfires and hurricanes are destroying cities. Then theres major wars and countries who transitioned to war economics and western countries run by oligarchs and gangsters.

All while you dream of space exploration for the ultra rich.

Thats where we at now. I suppose you’re just another climate denier who cant read the writing on the wall.

> From the very beginning SpaceX’s long term business vision has been to enable middle class emigration to Mars.

That should have been enough reason for everyone to dismiss Musk, but unfortunatley too many uninformed people in charge.

Mars is -60 celcuius on average, and lack an atmosphere. Youd die off cancer from radiation exposure within a year IF you had every other life supporting system in place.

Then theres the seasonal explosive eruptions, no soil and countless other reasons this is a moronic enterprise.

This aint fashionable, its facts. The sad part is that I think Musk actually knows this but his fans too dumb to see the charlatan for what he is.

> I've argued here about the importance of becoming multiplanetary and had many people disagree.

Unfortunatley for humankind, there is no second earth to move to. We need to care for the planet we inhabit, as its the only one capable of supporting life in our solar system, and interstellar travel is probably hundreds of years away.

Even if we could move elsewhere, the chances any one of us would be rich enough to go there is a rounding error to zero.

Somehow I’ve got a feeling this wont be reported nearly as much as the previous doomsday reporting.
