dev_hugepages··on Functional programmers need to take a look at Zig
Unrelated, but I was pleased at how fast the page opened: it felt pretty much instantaneous!

I opened the network log, disabled cache and reloaded to see it only transferred 8kb.

Keep up the good work!

dev_hugepages··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
No, the cache is a few GB large for most usual context sizes. It depends on model architecture, but if you take Gemma 4 31B at 256K context length, it takes 11.6GB of cache

note: I picked the values from a blog and they may be innacurate, but in pretty much all model the KV cache is very large, it's probably even larger in Claude.

dev_hugepages··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price
On HN, I often see comments like this, complaining about Cloudflare blocking access to pages. It makes me wonder if it’s due to a particular setup that triggers bot detection – like Tor or no-JS – that HN readers often use, or if Cloudflare has too many false positives.

Time to gather a dataset and train your own model!
dev_hugepages··on this css proves me human
Yeah the habit of discarding typography and polish as a "proof of humanity" is worrying to say the least
dev_hugepages··on AI generated music barred from Bandcamp
I’m more hopeful that MIDI completion/in-filling models will be easier for musicians to control and use. But right now, the most popular tools are things like Suno, where you barely have any control and it spits out an entire, possibly mediocre song. It’s the same vein as ChatGPT image generation vs. Stable Diffusion, where you can do much more controllable inpaints with the latter.
dev_hugepages··on There's a ridiculous amount of tech in a disposable vape
Nicotine itself is carcinogenic in the mouth:

> Nicotine in tobacco can form carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines through a nitrosation reaction. This occurs mostly in the curing and processing of tobacco. However, nicotine in the mouth and stomach can react to form N-nitrosonornicotine, a known type 1 carcinogen, suggesting that consumption of non-tobacco forms of nicotine may still play a role in carcinogenesis

dev_hugepages··on Music eases surgery and speeds recovery, study finds
I kind of understand where they come from: science vulgarization in pop news has been riddled with misinterpretation or lack of depth which can mislead the general public.
dev_hugepages··on Reminder to passengers ahead of move to 100% digital boarding passes
God fucking damn it send me a PDF with a QR code like a reasonable human being
dev_hugepages··on Resolution limit of the eye – how many pixels can we see?
You may have untreated myopia, or need to use a bigger font size (HN is guilty of this!)

dev_hugepages··on Keep Android Open
> We don't call Google a monopoly, because there is Apple We call that a duopoly, which is similarly bad as a monopoly.
dev_hugepages··on How the brain's activity, energy use and blood flow change as people fall asleep
Non 24h sleep syndrome or something else?
dev_hugepages··on Typst 0.14
VScode has an extension that uses the language server tinymist, which is available in other IDEs as well. The vscode extension offers live preview, but it's also available on other IDEs
dev_hugepages··on Typst 0.14
Typst is open source, so you can run it on your computer; it's available as a CLI and has integrations with multiples IDEs (most use tinymist). Using typst is better than subscribing and not using it IMO because you can already start creating content and advocating for it, while telling the team about bugs or pain points
dev_hugepages··on Typst 0.14
Maybe you have already checked these, but in case you haven't: - https://touying-typ.github.io/ Creating slides in Typst - https://cetz-package.github.io/ CeTZ is a package that allows for drawing with Typst with an API inspired by TikZ and Processing. It also provides plotting and chart libraries and is used in several other packages to create circuit, fretboard and more diagrams - maybe try getting your team to use version control? You may this that it's a lost cause, but existing version control schemes (like git) work very great for textual formats, including with LaTeX or Typst

As a reminder, you should check the original article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-63994-y) to get more extensive and accurate information.
dev_hugepages··on Designing a Low Latency 10G Ethernet Core (2023)
Is this really unexpected? A person who knows ultra-low-latency networking with FPGAs writes an article about making low-latency networking hardware for a company that needs high-speed, low-latency communications (high-frequency trading)
dev_hugepages··on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account
Time to get a LaTeX/Typst resume ;)
dev_hugepages··on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account
Linux desktop has improved a lot, but the huge momentum of the competitor has prevented many people (including OP) from switching or even remotely considering it. Anything that decreases the momentum of Windows lets the improvements of Linux show.

dev_hugepages··on Gentoo Linux might be the best desktop Linux distro for advanced Linux users
Gentoo is pretty much the easiest distro when you want to do things outside the norm (doesn't have to be much).

dev_hugepages··on OCaml Programming: Correct and Efficient and Beautiful
To do lazyness, you need to accumulate "intermediate computation objects" called thunks. These take space and time to store.

See: https://wiki.haskell.org/index.php?title=Thunk https://wiki.haskell.org/index.php?title=Performance/Strictn...
