Can you provide a reference to that?
polskibus··on Google will buy half the electricity from one of Finland's nuclear power plants

MS SQL has been available on Linux for around 10 years now.

So is the magic basically to use ZFS and everything should work fine?

polskibus··on Launch HN: Ardent (YC P26) – Postgres sandboxes in seconds with zero migration
Would such approach work for MS SQL?
polskibus··on LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate
By „with each pass” do you mean within the same session, or with new session (context window) each time?

Look at the demography though. Poland will fall very hard, faster than its neighbours.
polskibus··on San Francisco, AI capital of the world, is an economic laggard
How big is the 996 crowd compared to the total tech employment in SF? Is it really that popular?
polskibus··on Jujutsu megamerges for fun and profit
Can this technique help with fixing a bug on master then having to merge it easily to older release-branches , without resorting to cherry-picking (and losing all history)?
polskibus··on Artemis II crew take “spectacular” image of Earth
Why is the old image so much more blue? Did pollution increase cause this change in color over time?
polskibus··on Meta and YouTube found negligent in landmark social media addiction case
Don’t forget WhatsApp. Kids are allowed to have WhatsApp as messaging but they get fed videos there too. There is no way to really disable them . Also this be allowed as parental supervision, not something that kids can override.
polskibus··on Show HN: Sub-millisecond VM sandboxes using CoW memory forking
Is it possible to run minikube inside ? I’d love to use it for ephemeral clusters for testing .
polskibus··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.
On the other hand, shouldn’t there be a policy forbidding use of HN data for LLM training? I would certainly be more encouraged to participate, if I knew that the content I provide for free is not used to train LLM that is later sold by a company valued hundreds of billions. Perhaps there are others who feel the same.
polskibus··on MinIO Is Dead, Long Live MinIO
Surely MinIO dual-licenses its software so paying customers get commercial license?
polskibus··on We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C Compiler
So did the Linux compiled with this compiler worked? Does it work the same as GCC-compiled Linux (but slower due to generating non optimized code?)
polskibus··on AliSQL: Alibaba's open-source MySQL with vector and DuckDB engines
Does this feed DuckDb continuously data from transactional workloads, akin to what SAP hana does? If so that would be huge - people spend lots of time trying to stitch transactional data to warehouses using Kafka/debezium.

BTW, Would be great to hear apavlo’s opinion on this.

polskibus··on Go ahead, self-host Postgres
What's the SOTA for on-prem Postgres, in terms of point-in-time-recovery? are there any well-tested tools for it?

Lean4 seems to be very popular in the Math Olympics-solving AI startups (Harmonic etc).
polskibus··on Anthropic acquires Bun
Wouldn’t it make more sense to write the same functionality using a more performant, no-gc language? Aren’t competitors praised for their CLIs being faster for that reason?
polskibus··on The Dragon Hatchling: The missing link between the transformer and brain models
One of the authors, Adrian, is a very interesting person. Got his PhD at 21, started CS studies at an age when his peers were starting high school. Knowing some of his previous achievements, I’d say his work deserves at least some curiosity.
polskibus··on The Dragon Hatchling: The missing link between the transformer and brain models
I posted it 19 days ago. It it didn’t get any traction, I wonder why. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45453119
polskibus··on Blockdiff: We built our own file format for VM disk snapshots
Can this be used in a public cloud provider , to speed up VM provisioning in CI/CD pipelines? Im looking for ways to speed up app provisioning for e2e tests.
polskibus··on The AI coding trap
I think the post, while extensive, missed one important issue.

The fact then when we read others' code, we don't remember/integrate it into our thinking as well as we do when we're the authors. So mentoring "AI Juniors" provides less growth then doing the job, esp. if it is mostly corrective actions.

polskibus··on Terence Tao: The role of small organizations in society has shrunk significantly
Was hoping for a more data-driven diagnosis. The reality is much different, smaller orgs can move faster than large. It is definitely not possible in areas that require huge CAPEX or OPEX like AI, but in many other areas it happens often.
polskibus··on Terence Tao: The role of small organizations in society has shrunk significantly
Reminds be of cyberpunk dystopia. Several corporations like Arasaka and Militech defacto ruling the world.
polskibus··on I ditched Docker for Podman
By drag I mean 3-4 hrs until all e2e passed on an ephemeral k8s stack on a vm.
polskibus··on I ditched Docker for Podman
What do you guys use to profile whole ci/cd pipelines that involve building software , building (many) containers, running tests, running e2e tests etc. Ci/cd can be a huge drag on the lead time of delivery teams, containerisation helped with one thing but prolonged another. Is there a way out of this performance drag?
