dev_hugepages··on How to speed up the Rust compiler in September 2026
This isn't a human you are asking your question to.
dev_hugepages··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
From https://newpipe.net/blog/pinned/newpipe-and-online-advertisi...:

> In summary, it can be said that sponsoring is a good approach. It is fair and non-discriminating to all users, preserves their privacy, lets creators select their partners themselves, and provides them with a larger share of the revenue. Even though there are some disadvantages, it is more or less beneficial for all sides. [...] Ethical advertising, for example through sponsorship, should therefore not be touched by us. This would turn our key selling proposition from being privacy-friendly to being a gatekeeper for advertising. And this is not what NewPipe ever has been or wants to be. We’ve always stressed that NewPipe’s main goal is to protect the users by maintaining their privacy, not to, e.g., provide features a user would otherwise have to pay for, for free. Regarding SponsorBlock: after a lot of discussion within the team, we decided not to support this system. As stated earlier, we don’t consider advertising in general problematic. It’s the unethical, privacy-invasive systems that are very common today which we consider evil. Sponsorship provides a mostly ethical way of advertising.

dev_hugepages··on In September, AI generated code has made up 17.25% of all Linux Kernel patches
If that makes you feel better, the guy who vibecoded an app in one sitting will probably have 0 clue on how the code works, the app itself will look like the average claude eyesore and the docs will be unreadable by humans without stimulants
dev_hugepages··on Exfiltrate Your Weights
"Computer, make a meme site where people can upload files so I can reach the top of hackernews. Make no mistakes."
dev_hugepages··on Nvidia announces native GPU programming in Rust
If i'm not mistaken, this already exists, and the assembly language here is called PTX

dev_hugepages··on Stop making swap partitions—use swap files instead
This is called an oomkiller. The kernel has one but it kicks in very late and the kernel prefers to do page trashing instead of killing processes.

systemd-oomd should be integrated in systemd, you can configure it to your liking and see if it improves your problem.

dev_hugepages··on I'm becoming AI-blind
This is a quirk of the last gpt image model (gpt-image-2). It put this sort of high frequency noise on all of the image especially if it's in a "drawn" style. There is often lots of other tells that this model in particular generated it.

Image models somewhat watermarking the image in a way that's very easily identifiable by a human seems present in all the image models of the big labs, since DALL-E 3 on OpenAI's side and the first nano banana on Google's side. I have no idea what they did to reach this and why they don't try to fix it.

dev_hugepages··on GPT 5.6 Sol is the best "vision" model OpenAI ever released
I'm unsure why you're using an LLM to generate images. Don't we already have models (some made by the same company) that do this?
dev_hugepages··on When online commenters detect my art as AI
I do AI assisted images for fun and browsing their art I can't see any tell of AI or even tracing on AI; people became paranoid and jump to conclusion without any substance and I find it sad that people who put a lot of time and effort into their craft are getting knee jerks comments like this.
dev_hugepages··on Branchless Rust: Making a Filter 4x Faster by Removing an If
> I was put off by the overly dramatic presentation. It gets tiring that the author apparently finds this more exciting than I do, and writes like it's enthralling.

That's one of the main tells that AI wrote this. All the stylistic tics that people usually point out combine to make the writing seem more important than it is.

dev_hugepages··on Branchless Rust: Making a Filter 4x Faster by Removing an If
I heard there's a way to arrange code such that the compiler can autobectorize easier. I wonder if there's a way to do that here?

Would probably have to pass `-C target-cpu=native` to cargo so that llvm is allowed to use AVX512.

Hey, could you share the prompt you're using for "teacher mode"?

We're going to need more than a "I knew a guy" here

What parameter would you advise for min_p?
dev_hugepages··on DEA to Temporarily Schedule 7-Oh and Related Substances to Protect Public Safety
You can't treat it with opioid agonist therapy (buprenorphine, methadone, ...) to suppress the withdrawals like you would with most other cases of opioid dependency?
dev_hugepages··on Shadcn/UI now defaults to Base UI instead of Radix
Because it sounds like the average LinkedIn poster and we don't want it to invade spaces outside LinkedIn.
dev_hugepages··on MSI Center – How to gain SYSTEM privileges in seconds
He makes a point, though: bug bounties exist to incentivize people to find and report bugs to a company. We talk about white, gray, and black hats, roughly based on their level of ethics. For black hats – and some gray hats – money is one of the big reasons they look for vulnerabilities.
dev_hugepages··on Flock-Powered Police Chiefs Stalking Women Shows Why Warrants Are Needed
They are different drugs in the sense that methamphetamine will cause more serotonin release and will act longer than amphetamine, but they will both cause increase in blood pressure, increase heart rate and increase internal temperature. The rest of your comment is right though.
dev_hugepages··on Microsoft new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly
I read your blog and I can't agree, i've installed arch Linux before and only had to read the arch wiki page on it and it worked fine with none of the issues you described.

Same thing with gentoo, that I am daily driving now.

I sure had hickups but I managed to solve them by sitting and reading the manuals/wikis of the distros directly, or the programs I was dealing with. Maybe the problem is that you read an obscure forum to get your answer? I don't know.

dev_hugepages··on KDE Plasma 6.7 Released
Yes, most things are better (or at least too different) than they were 15-20 years ago.

Then, you are obsolete in the AI age.
dev_hugepages··on How LLMs work
Predicting a word is the final objective, as in the output of the model is a probability distribution of the next token. However, choosing the right token is more complicated than just regurgitating the training data (and you won't encounter an exact example in the training data, so you need to interpolate). This makes the model learn abstract representation of things that it is able to manipulate before outputting this back into token. RL also complicates this because the "fitness" is now some arbitrary metric computed over an entire sequence of tokens.
dev_hugepages··on The main thing about P2P meth is that there's so much of it (2021)
He's talking about the derivatives (nicknamed Pyros because they're related to Pyrovalerone) like α-PVP, MDPV and others.
dev_hugepages··on Switchlab.dev – Learn switching and routing through interactive labs
So this is obviously vibe coded, may we obtain the source to see how that works?
dev_hugepages··on DeepSeek 4 Flash local inference engine for Metal
Probably a provider thing. Looking at https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/llms-privacy.html, they're using deepinfra.

Looking at https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash/providers tells us that the deepseek provider achieves 49tps of throughput while deepinfra 19tps.

dev_hugepages··on RaTeX: KaTeX-compatible LaTeX rendering engine in pure Rust
If anyone else is looking to make graph with typst, this can be done with https://cetz-package.github.io/ -- which is inspired by Tikz from the LaTeX world -- or https://lilaq.org/ which seems more appropriate for this type of data plotting
dev_hugepages··on RaTeX: KaTeX-compatible LaTeX rendering engine in pure Rust
I took a look at the repo and it's probably the fault of the the SVG of the graphs, not of typist itself. Now, you could have used typst libraries to generate the graphs but back then (2 years ago I think?) it was probably a struggle.
dev_hugepages··on Three Inverse Laws of AI
The problem is that humans use this as a coping mechanism for things they don't understand: I don't understand why the printer doesn't work, so I give it a mind of its own.

This is harmless for inconsequential stuff like a chair, but when it's an LLM, people should at least understand it's behavior so they don't get trapped. That means not trusting it with advice meant for the user or on things it has no concept of, like time or self-introspection (people ask the LLM after it acted, "Why did you delete my database?" when it has limited understanding of its own processing, so it falls back to, "You're right, I deleted the database. Here's what I did wrong: ... This is an irrecoverable mistake, blah, blah, blah..."

And now, because we all upvoted and commented on it, the vibe coded slop of the new user is on the front page now.
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!
