gregoriol··on Micron CEO Says Memory Supply Will Be Much Tighter in 2027 and 2028 Than in 2026
They are probably too big to fail already (and too friendly with the current US gov). And even if they fail, open-weight models will take over as the usefulness of the tech behind has been proven.
gregoriol··on macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess
iOS 27 is in the same situation: a little bit less annoying than 26 overall but new bugs all over the place. If that is the Tim Cook farewell, it leaves a very bad impression.
gregoriol··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
Of all the ideas ever tried, this one seems to be the worst
gregoriol··on Looking forward to Git 2.56 – and 3.0
What could be simpler than "$ git stash" and "$ git stash pop" ?
gregoriol··on Qwen Image 2.1
Was going to post about this: the last image models with Apache 2.0 license seem to be from 2025, recent Qwen models are "non-commercial use".

You haven't heard about rickrolling, have you?

gregoriol··on Larger Pacific striped octopus
Pro Max is still available
gregoriol··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
That's because you do have the most common stuff: that's a choice. You could have a less common smartphone (iPhone SE? Fairephone?), audiophile headphones (Denon? Kef?), ... that would be more personal and better choice.
gregoriol··on HTML over WebSockets: real-time SPAs with barely any JavaScript
It would be nice if it was easy to "place the HTML where it belongs", but in a complex app it's never just-replace: you have to preserve a lot of state, wether it is filters, forms, user selection, scroll position, ... so updating live becomes quite a huge work.

I've seen good attempts with libraries like idiomorph, but still quite some plumbing to do depending on the app.

gregoriol··on Someone is running mass vulnerability scans, spoofing AI bots like ClaudeBot
Unique IPs is not something AI can generate easily, and blocking IPs in general is not efficient.

The big problem with AIs is that they can try new paths/payloads very easily, adapt quickly, I'd be more worried about that.

gregoriol··on uBlock Origin is giving up the fight to keep ads off Facebook
So basically Facebook ads won and we are doomed

Nice! I was really missing working examples when I replaced an MPC by the lower-level Network, not an easy task, but it provides huge improvements

Apple has deprecated all of that now
gregoriol··on We replaced Redis with MySQL for inventory reservations and it scaled
Even the good teams may make bad choices, that's why it is interesting to read their ideas and discuss them
gregoriol··on Workers Drilling in Romania Broke into a Cave Sealed for 5.5M Years
The wikipedia article says "While animals have lived in the cave for 5.5 million years, not all of them arrived simultaneously. One of the most recent animals recorded is the cave's only species of snail, Heleobia dobrogica, which has inhabited the cave for slightly more than 2 million years."
gregoriol··on FFmpeg 9.0
It's still very niche though, I bet not a single youtuber or OF-girl known they use it
gregoriol··on The myth of Snow Leopard
From years of experience with Apple software, I'm never installing any y.0
gregoriol··on Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server
The reason this is interesting is that it allows to go further into the target system if you already have a frontend vulnerability
gregoriol··on Hacker wipes Romania's land registry database
The new world will be: move fast and trust AIs
gregoriol··on Syria's solar boom is redefining Middle East's energy model
It works for me, without a qr code
gregoriol··on Can China build its own ASML?
Trying to prevent someone from having something they want is the best way to make them work twice harder to get it.
gregoriol··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
The lowest prices are for hardware much more than 4 years old though: take OVH's Kimsufi, they use CPUs that first launched in 2015, 2017, 2018, ...
gregoriol··on Anthropic flies staff to D.C. to clean up White House fight
They should fly staff to EU instead
gregoriol··on Ask HN: Why hasn't there been a real competitor to Ticketmaster yet?
Having seen shows with super-premium prices at the front, with half the place being non-reactive to the show because people paying extra are not actually huge fans but huge wallets, yeah you need to put down prices and get those front tickets to fans if you want to have nice shows
gregoriol··on Changing how we develop Ladybird
So 50 years ago people who created calculators were at fault for people not calculating from memory? or 100 years ago people who created engines were at fault for people not doing manual labor anymore?
gregoriol··on Changing how we develop Ladybird
Maintainers can also use the exact same tools to help review and validate PRs
gregoriol··on Changing how we develop Ladybird
How is it really related to AI? there have been issues with open-source and maintainers for a long long time
gregoriol··on Cars collect a startling amount of data about you
You do understand that cars are designed to be in situations where they don't have network access for some time? parking underground and stuff?
gregoriol··on Cars collect a startling amount of data about you
Which model is it? There has been no zero connectivity cars produced in the last 10 years or so, except maybe some niche manufacturer?
gregoriol··on Claude Code – Everything you can configure that the docs don't tell you
claude package has ten new versions published per week, and one new model every few months, one should definitely not rely on some undocumented tricks around it: it'll change, it'll break deep ultra-specific configurations
