nullpoint420··on Show HN: Janus – Go binary that runs GGUF models via Vulkan on AMD/Intel/Nvidia
Woof. Wonder if the creator knows that
nullpoint420··on macOS 27 is so buggy
Did you mention this as some sort of gotcha? This article is over 12 years old.

Chrome has gone through almost two rewrites of their core rendering stack since then. It's impressive work.

Although this itself is outdated, I remember enjoying "Life of a Pixel"[0] back when it came out.

nullpoint420··on macOS 27 is so buggy
Real. The Chrome rendering stack is such an inspiration for how to do high performance GUIs on multiple operating systems.

What does this even mean? What does a fair democracy even look like nowadays, that can't be bought or externally influenced?
nullpoint420··on UnoDOS
half of the repo is .md files if that's any indication. most of them have the word "audit" in them.

i'm assuming if you know what the code is doing you don't need to audit them...

nullpoint420··on I said no and Apple said yes
fwiw, I haven't had this issue on Fedora on GNOME. Ubuntu/Debian have always been a pain for me, but Fedora has been great.

I see this as IBM/RedHat is a better steward/maintainer than other projects.

nullpoint420··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
One could call it the largest distillation attack in history
nullpoint420··on Houthis used Claude Code to develop missile guidance software: Anthropic
We really need to pace the frontier on operating systems and browsers, we can't let it fall into the wrong hands.
nullpoint420··on I'm being cyberattacked by Tesla, Inc
Yeah it looks like someone thinks they're "hacking" Tesla when really it's hitting volunteer IPs.
nullpoint420··on Linux Zoom client proactively reading everything written to X11 clipboard
Asked people what during install? From my perspective this should have never been designed this way. I understand if you're a PM, but those engineers should've known better, Chinese or not.

As for the ion cannon (signed and notarized apps) people do talk about this and question it. Apple's infamous walled garden. Europe is trying to fix this with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the USA is trying to fix this with the right to repair.

But you have to admit, in this instance with Zoom, it was used for a just purpose. Apple protected end-users against bad code from Zoom, which from your post, seemed complacent.

nullpoint420··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
Why? They’re the only ones giving out their models for free at the frontier?

I don’t understand the “need” when you’re benefiting the public good?

nullpoint420··on Ask HN: Why were OpenAI, Claude, and Grok simultaneously down?
They use a lot of compute providers now, but they use Cloudflare for their networking
nullpoint420··on Three schoolgirls in Kinsale pulled up a pea plant covered in warts (2014)
Kinda like code reviews these days
nullpoint420··on EFF to Governor Newsom: Veto California's AB 1709
I’m assuming the same way Mozilla was bought by the industry. Indirectly through a network of interests.
nullpoint420··on A fortuitous decade as an indie software developer
i see. thanks for the context.
nullpoint420··on Why your local LLM feels dumber than it is
At least I'd be in control of model quality vs. when Anthropic decides to randomly drop the quality of their offering
nullpoint420··on Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why?
GitHub Quarter Evolved
nullpoint420··on A fortuitous decade as an indie software developer
what if the fun for them is the game engine? because game devs are customers too, it's technical product dev.
nullpoint420··on US Military's cyber command unit grapples with cluster of deaths by suicide
I mean, isn't that all counter-intelligence? They wouldn't want to be seen?
nullpoint420··on Making Postgres 300x faster for analytics: batching, operator fusion, and SIMD
Wow ok fair enough. Sorry to put you through a fire drill but I wanted to see if there would be support or not.

I stand corrected, there is. Wishing you the best of luck here.

nullpoint420··on Making Postgres 300x faster for analytics: batching, operator fusion, and SIMD
I just deployed this to production to replace our self-hosted Postgres - and we’re experiencing corruption. Can you help us out?
nullpoint420··on Taste Is All That's Left
Wow does it feel good to read human prose again. It just feels so - refreshing. Like cold water in a desert
nullpoint420··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work
I get that but it’s much less secure. ie. If an agent finds a bug in V8 it’s over
nullpoint420··on What went wrong with data lakes? A 15-year reality check
Bingo. Double points if the infra surrounding this costs more than a maxed out MBP a month in spend
nullpoint420··on GNU Hurd News 2026-Q2
Real
nullpoint420··on Cloudflare OS: an open platform for agents, apps, and work
Mmm so application-level sandboxing. Lovely.

And I’m assuming your worker runtime is a process in a container on a shared node? What happens if the agent exploits your runtime?

Does it get access to the whole container? VM? Node?

Why should I ever choose this over MicroVMs? I have to design my architecture around your JS runtime. This isn’t an OS.

nullpoint420··on Nashville uses eminent domain to block data center near zoo
I thought this too. Apparently there’s open cooling systems as well that are more efficient
nullpoint420··on There Will Come Soft Rains (1950) [pdf]
Man, if only I wasn't so burnt out. I've still been day-dreaming about architecture and design for my side-projects. I haven't had a chance to sit down and get into the flow state like I used to.
nullpoint420··on Eric Schmidt tried to convert Google to Java
Wow is this true? Hopefully I don’t come across this way. I’m a huge Kotlin fan but strongly dislike Java for its verbosity.

Is hating on Java really a dog whistle like you say?
