The Free in Foss is not "Free as in beer".

The only llmism I sensed is the use of "load bearing". Im usually queasy after reading llm slop, and stop before the end. This didn't have that effect.

Maybe the llms are getting better, but either way, this article reads like a real hunan write the whole thing.

> Our implementation uses Highway's portable SIMD functions, so we do not have to re-implement about 3,000 lines of C++ for each platform.

Would they do the same thing today or have an LLM re-implement those 3000 lines of c++ ?

Nothing absurd about that. What do you think an "Executive producer" is? A "Director" ? Does Peter Jackson get credit for creating the Lord of the Rings Trilogy films? Christopher Nolan for his films? But did he make them ? No, it was the collective effort of thousands of individuals all working under their direction.

Just like if somebody creates software today, and the end result is generated by the collective effort of thousands of agents, the "Director" still gets credit.

US States aren't allowed to have permanent DST, but they can have permanent standard time.

Its a nightmare because it erodes trust. Doctors are not "always right" which is why "always get a second opinion" is codified in culture.

But AI's problem is that its completely full of shit, sometimes, and the people most qualified to evaluate whether its full of shit are the doctors, not the patients, but just like OP's original article, patients are left feeling like their second opinion from AI might be more trustworthy than their doctors opinion.

Read up on the "chicken tax" for how long the auto industry has navigated weird assemvly games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax

"killed" is a bit of a stretch. High prices on all gear is here to stay. This is the new normal. Unless that simply means that nobody buys consoles/pc's.

But you cant compare the price point with what it used to cost and imagine that its overpriced now and that people will seek alternatives. There aren't any cheaper alternatives.

Never, ever put a form into a popup. Ever.

Privacy and Bot defense are opposite ends of the same fulcrum. If you permit privacy, the site/service has to trust users to behave and follow the rules. If you track users, then the users have to trust the site/service owners not to abuse that trust. There isn't really an in between.

So if you want privacy, you have to accept poor and sometimes insecure services.

Right now the only codebase I care about them fixing vulnerabilities in are the 3800 repositories that got stolen from GitHub.

"Vulnerabilities in the software that makes the internet" is honestly lower priority than "The platform that the software that makes the internet uses to make releases" If buyers of those internal repos find ways to break into GitHub such that they can cut software releases, or poison github actions from a distance, then we're all in a very ugly mess.

Don't forget that in those 3800 repos is likely also npmjs.org itself.

Heh, you mean the railway that was part of the whole "my production db got deleted in 9 seconds" story?

That company sounds a lot like one that doesn't focus on the right things.

For me the big question with something like Zed is how/when does it get monetized?

How does Root/Ventures, V1.VC, Matchstick, Redpoint, and Sequoia get paid and what does that eventually look like for the people who have adopted Zed?

Does it enshittify? Does it just get bought by somebody else and languish?

yet. The hallmarks of enshittification are there. We've all been through the cycle of "this product is too good to be true, and provides considerably more value than it costs" "Customer Acquisition/Market Capture" phase. And we know what has to come next. They have to make the product profitable, because you cant just burn up VC money forever.

This makes me wonder when we'll start trading memory on the commodities markets.

https://signpath.org/ is about as close as you can get.

Theres two different steps, there is signing and there is notarization. You sign with the developer certificate using productsign/codesign, and then there is notarization, which you use notarytool to submit your signed binaray to apple to notarize.

finally you then take their response and staple it to your binary. Its a lot of steps.

The meme investors can stay irrational long before gamestop gets a growth story. If they haven't given up on their get rich quick scheme that's lasted over five years now, I really don't think they're going to jump ship now.

The sad part is that gamestop is offering 55 billion, yet only has 9 billion in cash. The only way they come up with that much capital to buy ebay is to dilute the existing shareholders to a point that "to the moon" will just be moondust.

Yeah, thats FUD. Cloudflare hasnt called anybody demanding huge sums of cash and holding your domains hostage. As a registrar they're fine, dont play scammy scum upsell games (because they have a real business model that isnt just registration skim).

DMARC isn't really that big of an issue to wrestle with, and I don't see how it gives anybody influence or power.

Worth noting that mcollina is a member of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee

This is already true if you want to run a piece of software on an iPhone, on MacOS, on Windows, on any video game console.

I find it amazing that skills are essentially excellent tools for humans to understand too.

pretty sure I've had slack show me whole web pages without kicking me out to the mobile browser.

A friend of mine has also been working on a Ghidra MCP: looks like theres a few of them: https://github.com/themixednuts/GhidraMCP

Yes, Linus Torvalds is famously agreeable.

Doesnt the tooling already exist? i.e. you could use `git notes` to attach agent state as checkpoints to Trees, Commits, Tags etc.

what about using git notes to stash the summaries? (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes)

*I'm so excited about landscape design. Can't wait to do more. Employing a gardener to do the gardening for me is really making me enjoy landscape design again!

This seems like a pretty easy thing to fix for the future. Make the standard in all suits such that all genitalia would fit without a problem. Just give everybody that advantage of a mini sail and let the records all come with an asterisk.
