txdv··on Fastpotify
the commits are very fine grained and the text is unusually not AI.

I mean you can beat AI to do anything nowadays, but this looks not that bad

txdv··on Fastpotify
until someone comes up with a non vibe coded one ill be happy having at least a fast option
txdv··on Can LLMs Perform Deep Technical Comprehension of Computer Architecture Papers
LLMs are black boxy, its not like I can inspect the used weights of a prompt and judge the source of those weights.
txdv··on Reverse-engineering is cheap now
I'm currently writing a compiler (forever garage project) the speed at which Claude is able to debug with gdb what was wrongly generated is insane. I had not much prior expertise so maybe a professional in the field would be able to do it faster, but now people new to the field are able to debug at a very fast pace as well. It looks at ask code generated, understands llvm, can read and instrument gdb, all for 15$ a month
txdv··on LLM Networking with MikroTik
How big is your TF state on your routers?

Yeah, TF is slow if you have thousands of configs and batching not integrated in the provider.

txdv··on Can LLMs Perform Deep Technical Comprehension of Computer Architecture Papers
I recently just referenced the selective applicative functors paper and let it write me an implementation in scala. There is one already available in github, so I can't judge if it really just read the paper and implemented it, but the result was so minimal quick and amazing.
txdv··on Project Valhalla, Explained: How a Decade of Work Arrives in JDK 28
whats keeping you from upgrading?
txdv··on Changing how we develop Ladybird
mitchell hashimoto https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch implemented this idea
txdv··on DuckDuckGo search saw 28% more visits after Google said people love AI mode
how is duckduckgo using us?
txdv··on Bun Rust rewrite: "codebase fails basic miri checks, allows for UB in safe rust"
if they succeed nothing will change for you
txdv··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
maybe its tokens instead of time now? bun has access to an unlimited amount of it
txdv··on Belgium stops decommissioning nuclear power plants
Can we get one in Lithuania?
txdv··on Ollama is now powered by MLX on Apple Silicon in preview
> False, it creates consumer demand for inference chips, which will be badly utilised.

There are so many CPUs, GPUs, RAM and SSDs which are underutilized. I have some in my closet doing 5% load at peek times. Why would inference chips be special once they become commodity hardware?

txdv··on Apple Just Lost Me
Worst part about liquid glass changes is that it was probably rushed so they could cover for lack of AI features that they promised a year ago
txdv··on Type resolution redesign, with language changes to taste
I think zig is striving for language minimalism, make it minimal as possible then if a feature optimized multiple places use cases benefit
txdv··on Ghostty – Terminal Emulator
Once he fixes the past he will have more time to fix the future
txdv··on Show HN: Sandboxing untrusted code using WebAssembly
js string builtin in wasm is a thing now, might be sharable across runtimes with special compile flags
txdv··on Finding and fixing Ghostty's largest memory leak
Only contrast I see is that he thought it was much more of a corner case which turned out to be not that true anymore since everyone started using claude code.
txdv··on DeepSeek uses banned Nvidia chips for AI model, report says
Can't they do it here? or will the authorities go after these kind of upgrades?
txdv··on The RAM shortage comes for us all
on one hand they are loosing profit, on the other hand they are gaining on market share. They will probably wait a short while to assess how much they are willing to sacrifice profits for market share
txdv··on The RAM shortage comes for us all
Just like the GPUs.

NVIDIA started allocating most of the wafer capacity for 50k GPU chips. They are a business, its a logical choice.

txdv··on Valve reveals it’s the architect behind a push to bring Windows games to Arm
> knuckle-draggers claiming that "Linux sucks because it can't play games"

they still do it because you can't play all the multiplayer games with kernel level anticheats

txdv··on Valve reveals it’s the architect behind a push to bring Windows games to Arm
"We will make linux a viable gaming before we increment that number to 3!"

But I totally agree, I still install windows for gaming on my machine, but it looks like that for my purpose of gaming I can stay with Linux (I play mainly older games or indie games).

txdv··on How to use Linux vsock for fast VM communication
> This is a weird article. It’s titled “how to use vsock” but 95% is how to set up Bazel, gRPC, and building a C++ project.

This is just what happens when you use bazel to quickly set up your project.

txdv··on How did the Win 95 user interface code get brought to the Windows NT code base?
maybe merging patch files was a thing way before git?
txdv··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
you can just point a shotgun at your foot and pull the trigger, isn't that covenient?
txdv··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
Just profile the slow parts and rewrite them in rustm, easy.
txdv··on Athlon 64: How AMD turned the tables on Intel
I remember my Athlon 64 machine.

The last one to run Windows XP.

I haven't seen a single one.
