cbzbc··on New serious vulnerabilities spiked around release of Claude Mythos Preview
That gap explains much of the spike. Companies who never used any scanning tools on much of their codebase are suddenly having that gap closed.
cbzbc··on Show HN: BusterMQ, Thread-per-core NATS server in Zig with io_uring
And the author has admitted at least some assistance here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46452907 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46452841

There may have been less pushback if this had been expressed up front. But also, what is it ? Is it to "test the architecture applied to nats" or is it to be a fully fledged NATs replacement (as per the impression given by table at the bottom of the website) - which becomes much harder if AI has significantly re-written the authors original code (and commented it badly).

The website being AI coded I can take or leave.

cbzbc··on Ÿnsect, a French insect farming startup, has been been placed into liquidation
The reason we know about Theranos is that it ended up in court. Plenty of other startups have had obviously impractical ideas that didn't go anywhere.
cbzbc··on SoundCloud has banned VPN access
Some of those (including many providers on Openreach) will support mini-jumbo frames that allow an MTU of 1500 inside pppoe.
cbzbc··on Personal blogs are back, should niche blogs be next?
Is there a Obsidian -> Hugo/Zola/Jekyll thing that's relatively robust?
cbzbc··on Personal blogs are back, should niche blogs be next?
What are people using to edit entries - because while markdown is fine, a lot of the time I want to be able to drag in screenshots, snippets of other documents like rfcs and so on. So it ends up being easier to make those notes for myself rather than push them into anything publishable.
cbzbc··on Nearly all UK drivers say headlights are too bright
The problem is that they react to lights from the opposing vehicle, but they are going to hit your eyes before they detect your lights.

That's with simple high beam assist. The matrix ones you refer to actually have another feature which makes things even worse; they progressively dip the light in parts, but combined with the first effect this means that you have a few seconds of being blinded before all of their component leds have been dipped.

Not to mention that they are only reacting to something directly in front of them for the most part -- meaning you can be blinded on curves, or when turn around and looking at them off axis (say as they wait to turn into a road).

cbzbc··on IP blocking the UK is not enough to comply with the Online Safety Act
The Sun has cumulatively lost about £500m over the last few years. I presume there must be some other purpose for keeping it around.
cbzbc··on VST3 audio plugin format is now MIT
They aren't big - but they are bigger than when it was just Urs and a couple of guys turning out plugins.

They becoming popular on the back of Diva, and Hans Zimmer using Zebra (he's very fulsome in his praise whenever mentioning u-he in interviews).

cbzbc··on SedonaDB: A new geospatial DataFrame library written in Rust
Right, but all it says is that an error was thrown.
cbzbc··on SedonaDB: A new geospatial DataFrame library written in Rust
I'd like to know the details of the errors -- because it could have been as simple as running out of memory.
cbzbc··on Nitro: A tiny but flexible init system and process supervisor
It does, because SIGTERM is traditionally understood as the trigger for a shutdown. Docker - for instance - will send a SIGTERM to pid 1 when a container is stopped - which goes back to a previous comment here about using a real init as pid 1 if the thing in your container forks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44990092
cbzbc··on Nitro: A tiny but flexible init system and process supervisor
runit doesn't propagate SIGTERM to services it starts.
cbzbc··on Nitro: A tiny but flexible init system and process supervisor
runit doesn't always take care of services it manages in the same way as a proper init . From the man page:

"If runsvdir receives a TERM signal, it exits with 0 immediately"

cbzbc··on Litestar is worth a look
How do people deploy this framework typically - speaking for myself, I found NGINX Unit somewhat fiddly.
cbzbc··on Async I/O on Linux in databases
Presumably the intent record is large (containing the key-value data) while the completion record is tiny

I don't think this is necessarily the case, because the operations may have completed in a different order to how they are recorded in the intent log.

cbzbc··on Broadcom to discontinue free Bitnami Helm charts
What are you planning on moving to ?
cbzbc··on Breaking the Llama Community License
Downloading all of libgen on purpose is a lot more than 'scraping web while obeying robots.txt'.
cbzbc··on Leaked data reveals Israeli govt campaign to remove pro-Palestine posts on Meta
The Oslo accords were intended - in the words of Rabin - to give the Palestinians 'less than a state', and arguably the division of the West Bank into Areas A, B and C have allowed for the expansion of settlements in the latter.

Whether the 1947 partition was accepted as a final state depends on who you ask, it's fairly clear that prominent figures viewed it as a stop along the way to a more comprehensive settlement. Take Ben Gurion ("After the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine.") or Chaim Weizmann ("partition might be only a temporary arrangement for the next twenty to twenty-five years"). Menachem Begin's Herut continued to use the slogan 'Both banks of the Jordan River", and this language is reflected in Likud's founding charter.

cbzbc··on Learning to Program with Haiku
I think you'd have got a much smaller eco-system of third party apps for MacOS (think omnigraffle etc). Whether that would have made a substantive difference I can't say.
cbzbc··on Tailscale has raised $160M
zerotier maybe?
cbzbc··on OpenAI asks White House for relief from state AI rules
> I've had to try and head hunt network and FPGA engineers away from HFT firms and it was basically impossible. They already make big tech (or higher) salaries without the big tech bullshit - which none of them would ever pass.

Can confirm. There are downsides, and it can get incredibly stressed at times, but there are all sorts of big tech imposed hoops you don't have to jump through.

cbzbc··on Why fastDOOM is fast
It's an NSAID made under a variety of names. You might be familiar with Advil?
cbzbc··on Tom Stevenson on the deciphering of Linear Elamite
Why? It's a fairly fringe theory with very little linguistic support.
cbzbc··on AI killed the tech interview. Now what?
> That's only true for a subset of programming languages

That's true, but most of the industry is running on a subset of programming languages.

cbzbc··on Show HN: Trolling SMS spammers with Ollama
The same applies to any antiscam measures. Maybe blame the crime lords rather than those trying to reduce the number of victims.
cbzbc··on TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
> I got recommended a few videos talking about Chinese/American wargames and how Americans were done for due to ultrasonic missiles and naval capabilities.

You get those on youtube as well, for every combination of large power, I'm not sure why that its own should be a red flag.

cbzbc··on TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
Sanctions regimes still exist.
cbzbc··on Entropy of a Large Language Model output
Sorry, which particular part of that paper are you linking to, the graph at the top of that page doesn't seem to link to your comment?
cbzbc··on PixLens: A lens that turns the scenery you see into pixel art
I can find similar on aliexpress. Although there are two types, the plastic ones which are about this price, and the crystal ones which are more like the price of the OP.
