Being ambitious and being a dad
He forgot to talk about hobbies :) I had a conversation about this topic yesterday with a colleague of mine. We both found some kind of career-family balance, and are continually honing it. However, we both lamented the loss of hobbies.
Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
Aside from the skills mentioned, I recently found that asking the model to create a simple HTML presentation to walk you through it's proposed design can do wonders. Fine tune your prompt to your liking (language style, what to include, what not, etc). Then, read that thing thoroughly, and keep asking questions and it…
The Amazon tax
Now show Seth’s audience (which has been accumulated for a long time) your explanation and theirs. I’d wager most people would be scratching their heads and rereading yours, while they’d breeze through Seth’s. In other words, your take may be shorter, but it’s not clearer or necessarily faster to read when aiming for…
OpenLogi
I think I strongly disagree with your first sentence. Strongly. I've worked with enough people with fine coding skills and terrible English to know that the two are not an uncommon combination. Last year, I worked with someone whose first language was something from China - no idea which flavour - and they would often…
Solo – a .so loader for static Linux binaries
Of course, I remember those times very well. And I also remember very well that dynamic linking appeared ONLY because we were catastrophically short on memory; everything else was added much later. Now we have plenty of memory, and we can very well return to our blessed roots!
Looking for an ArXiv Endorser – AI / Computer Science
Publish on your own site, why do you need arxiv? What conference or journal is it going into? You already have a doi. https://openreview.net/ would be a better venue for your paper
Sticky wage norms and the real wage cost of unexpected inflation
Dane here. Europeans have a different appetite for risk. Venture funding is 100x harder to get in Europe, meaning far less dynamism in start-ups and far less innovation. Sweden and Denmark buck the trend a little, but it's still a different league. Why is funding harder? Culture and laws we created as a result. We're…
Cerebras CS-4
God I wish they'd back up all of those claims by offering a subscription of Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3, not some outdated GLM 4.7 instance that they then proceed to call a preview model and say that they'll remove it, leaving users only with GPT-OSS 120B which is nigh useless nowadays: https://support.cerebras.net&…
The Amazon tax
This case is even worse than the restaurant parable, because in that one the customer is already pretty much guaranteed and the coupon will give them enhance satisfaction that makes them more likely to come back. In Godin’s case, the customer doesn’t get that $1 and may not even buy the book, they may e.g. just be loo…
Repair Cafe – Fix Your Broken Items
It's a lovely event and people happy. If you're into repairing stuff, you might know about some nasty tricks by the manufacturer like plastic gears where past models had metal gears and so on. Modern stuff is really hard to repair. Electronic components are just too small to repair, stuff is controlled by a microchip…
Where Human Sleep Went Wrong
> Sleep is critical to human functioning, and yet, we sleep fewer total hours than any other ape, and are still arguably the most evolutionarily successful of the primates > humans are weird outliers—we’re the shortest sleeping primates, yet we pack in the most REM sleep relative to this short duration Isn't that sort…
Berd
I think that's the point, no? The page is light on text but appears to be some kind of weird art project making fun of the inane "helpful and friendly" personas given to LLM chatbots
Show HN: Live 1v1 push-up battles with friends or random people
The counting all happens on the phone, and the only thing that travels is the rep timestamps. That is why the other person's number moves the moment they move.
Solo – a .so loader for static Linux binaries
Most everyone else is talking about the problem while you mapped the room. Solo is basically pg83's answer to the architecture you just described. If there is no libc independent ABI, build your own loader and shim the boundary. I can understand Linus's obsession with taste and the areas it was overlooked or traded.
How does IKEA come up with names for its products?
This is the mutley crueh story all over again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_umlaut > When Mötley Crüe visited Germany, singer Vince Neil said the band could not figure out why "the crowds were chanting, 'Mutley Cruh! Mutley Cruh!'" But like those German speakers assumed German orthography, En…
Meta's blockbuster trial draws parallels to big tobacco
Mix this with "...of User-Generated Multimedia Content", and you might get closer. This excludes music platforms, for example (although, Band Camp and Soundcloud might have some issues with that, admittedly).
Israel creates fake think tank in likely attempt to dupe AI chatbots
It is a well-known fact that Hamas members worked part-time as “journalists” to produce propaganda for Al Jazeera et al. See for example: https://x.com/HillelNeuer/status/2071907247660073452 https://unwatch.org/report-unescos-misidentification-of-terr... Also, your claim about a…
Sticky wage norms and the real wage cost of unexpected inflation
Dane here. We don't have a minimum wage. We rely on structural remedies for improving working conditions and wages, and they work far better than a minimum wage. The UK, on the other hand, favours direct intervention. They've been increasing their minimum wage considerably over the years. The result appears to be aggr…
Solo – a .so loader for static Linux binaries
Except the other UNIX systems, starting with the original one, evolved from only having static linking to various ways to connect libraries and applications.

Israel creates fake think tank in likely attempt to dupe AI chatbots
Ideology? Yes, pure hatred is ideological - no matter which side of the dialectic you choose to align yourself. “American propaganda is not ideological, it tries to maximize the damage to Russia and uses whatever political and ideological message that will achieve that.” Huh, what do you know, that can be “true” as we…
Solo – a .so loader for static Linux binaries
ABI is not "whatever happens to work with this distro" but "what programs that comply with the API contract compile to". Overlapping memcpy arguments is an API contract violation and thus not something covered by the ABI either. This distinction is the entire reason why C has a separate memmove function. You can't jus…
Solo – a .so loader for static Linux binaries
Because many folks don't understand UNIX systems introduced dynamic linking for several reasons, and they actually only had static linking for almost 20 years, since UNIX was known outside Bell Labs. Additionally many other OSes have had both approaches since their early days, Xerox PARC ones. For some strange reason…
Sticky wage norms and the real wage cost of unexpected inflation
I am taking your reply as stating a lack of intention to provide any evidence for claims given you have failed to do so.
And then the men with guns tell you to do it anyway
Most people do try to live a life that contributes toward a positive future that we'll all benefit from, while choosing not to support the opposite of that. There aren't exactly large groups of people organising around the principle that they want everyone to be worse off. It'd be pointless and they'd get crushed; mil…
Flock impersonates journalist in order to cancel his hotel reservations
because it's actively aiding fascism and the literal extrajudicial kidnapping, murder, and sex trafficking of children, women, and minorities at the behest of big brother who in the current administration are enacting literal fascist, borderline genocidal policies.
Being ambitious and being a dad
I think being a proper dad (or mom of course) you realise that that is something extremely "significant and meaningful". My ambition is to become a dad. I have other ambitions too whcih require a lot of time but if need be i'll make my choices.
Meta's blockbuster trial draws parallels to big tobacco
At worst Suckerberg just pays money. So the issue is not being solved. These US corporations operate outside the law - and they are protected by the orange king who is just too incompetent for anything other than pocketing away more money from the people, which is the only real skill he has.

> But do we still trust the open source software that is created now everything is vibe coded? I guess my question is, why would you trust it when it is not vibe coded? My suggestion is, have an AI review the code for you.

> Why? Have people managed to break the ancient concept of shared libraries If you break or remove a shared lib here, you may no longer be able to compile something from source. I had that happen in the past before I started to use more statically compiled programs (and busybox too). Assuming everything works as-is vi…
