nullpoint420··on Western carmakers' retreat from electric risks dooming them to irrelevance
So there's no new capacity that went online for the new build-outs? None of that could've been used for residential capacity?
nullpoint420··on Professional video editing, right in the browser with WebGPU and WASM
I always put asdf@asdf.com and it lets me download it
nullpoint420··on Western carmakers' retreat from electric risks dooming them to irrelevance
If they could find the power for the data centers, why can’t we find it for EVs?
nullpoint420··on Why western carmakers' retreat from electric risks dooming them to irrelevance
How long ago was that? Things have changed in the economy recently
nullpoint420··on Aggregated File System (AGFS), a modern tribute to the spirit of Plan 9
No exactly! You’re describing a microkernel and a bunch of userspace servers. Look into Fuschia, Mach, or Android’s Binder if you’re interested it this
nullpoint420··on Why AI systems don't learn – On autonomous learning from cognitive science
Do you need a notebook to remember who you are? The point is to update the model weights so it learns.
nullpoint420··on Illinois Introducing Operating System Account Age Bill
Yeah, let's just boil the frog here. Makes sense.
nullpoint420··on AI still doesn't work well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming
You mean like today?
nullpoint420··on Meta Horizon Worlds on Meta Quest is being discontinued
And the blockchain.
nullpoint420··on The American Healthcare Conundrum
You could say the same to tech workers after AI.
nullpoint420··on Meta’s renewed commitment to jemalloc
This is why I love hacker news. I learn so much from these moments.
nullpoint420··on Why I love FreeBSD
100%. It reminds me of how a ton of FreeBSD devs moved to Mac during the Darwin days. Then they were abandoned by Apple once they stopped contributing to upstream.
nullpoint420··on Postgres with Builtin File Systems
Okay.
nullpoint420··on NetBlocks says Iran blackout enters day 16 as arrests target Starlink users
Looks like the person who replied to you also only comments on Iranian posts as well. The irony.
nullpoint420··on Postgres with Builtin File Systems
The carousel overflows on mobile, extending past the screen
nullpoint420··on Postgres with Builtin File Systems
Wonder if that’s what it is, with a few changes to make it postgres wire compatible
nullpoint420··on 1M context is now generally available for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6
Unfortunately, I’ve found it’s really good at Wayland and OpenGL. It even knows how to use Clutter and Meta frameworks from the Gnome Mutter stack. Makes me wonder why I learned this all in the first place.
nullpoint420··on Launch HN: Sentrial (YC W26) – Catch AI agent failures before your users do
That sounds like an AI written response. I’ve seen your last two posts follow the same pattern. Consider stopping your astroturf campaign.
nullpoint420··on X is selling existing users' handles
This is off topic, and to be frank, rude.
nullpoint420··on The Enterprise Context Layer
Even worse. The same code but deployed as a ZIP file….
nullpoint420··on Family of child injured in Canada school shooting sues OpenAI
As tragic as this is, IMO, this should not be the justification for mandatory age verification.

We need to figure out why young people resort to these extremes and fix that.

nullpoint420··on macOS Tahoe windows have different corner radiuses
Modern Gnome on Fedora feels like MacOS in a good way. Consistent design
nullpoint420··on Windows: Prefer the Native API over Win32
Yeah, I know go has had issues because they subvert libc themselves in similar fashion. I wonder how this will turn out.
nullpoint420··on When hardware goes end-of-life, companies need to open-source the software
That adds your custom keys to the fastboot bootloader, not the boot ROM. This means you'd still have to chain your boot through fastboot.

You couldn't boot straight from boot ROM -> UEFI for instance.

nullpoint420··on Replace the Retiring Windows XP with Linux (2014)
Neat! It makes sense how more kernel/userspace abstractions would add more latency.

> If you are doing music on your Linux PC, I would like to know your best ping from some MIDI instrument to the headphones.

I am not, unfortunately. I've always wanted to get into digital music production, but sadly DAWs have always been elusive to me.

nullpoint420··on Let's be honest, Generative AI isn't going all that well
And then what? Am I supposed to be excited about this future?
nullpoint420··on When hardware goes end-of-life, companies need to open-source the software
Unless it becomes a law, and the hardware makers adapt.
nullpoint420··on Replace the Retiring Windows XP with Linux (2014)
What was unique about it? (genuinely curious, I'm coming from the Linux side of the pond)
nullpoint420··on Fixing a Buffer Overflow in Unix v4 Like It's 1973
That sounds really fun!
nullpoint420··on Show HN: Executable Markdown files with Unix pipes
Great idea, this reminds me of a Makefile! However, I do dread the cmake version of this that will nevertheless emerge in the next 10 years.
