Linux 7.3 improves performance when running out of vRAM
Who says it needs to be desktop for proper memory management, servers and embedded can crash willy-nilly with OOM? In any case, Xenix, DG/UX, SunOS/Solaris, Aix, HP-UX, z/OS UNIX, NeXTSTEP.
Ask HN: Why are we still building web UI's just for human consumption?
Right now, as we speak a lot of agents are doing clunky things to operate websites from Codex to Claude, all those website owners might not have the resources to setup an MCP or API just for agents. If this was an exceptional case how come Claude and Codex are still operating websites using clunk embedded web browsers…
And then the men with guns tell you to do it anyway
I think the right thing in this context relates more to every day matters that affects people and how they interact with the world. Corruption, unsafety, tax avoidance, vandalism, not paying the bus/tram ticket, littering. As for el sisi. I remember an egyptian friend who fled the country after he did some protes…
Scientists stunned by children's lung recovery in ultra low emission zone
While having something done at Stanford's hospitals, at one point I was placed in a room with signs indicating it was on a heavily filtered ventilation system rated for COVID, etc. It was striking to be in an environment with air almost to clean room quality.
US announces new sanctions on top ICC figures
> Except Palestine is not a country. A super-majority of the UN says you're wrong. > As of September 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 157 of the 193 member states of the United Nations (UN), or just over 81% of all UN members Quoted that from Wikipedia because googling it even a littl…
Being ambitious and being a dad
Agreed. I'm well travelled. Have had a very fun and satisfying dating life. A great career. Accomplished many life goals. Nothing comes close to fatherhood. Which frustrates me immensely, because I feel that society at large did everything it could to convince me that parenthood is terrible. Movies and TV shows portra…
US announces new sanctions on top ICC figures
Why not both? Seriously. The USA's current leadership cabal certainly appears to be dancing to the tune of several corrupt world leaders. Even when they contradict each other. Trump is threatening to bomb Oman? Trump is talking smack on South Korea and cuddling up to North Korea again?
Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities
You seem to be in denial. Like really heavy denial. Alarm bells are going off everywhere. What people have been worried about for 100 years is actually happening. It's actually really obvious, but for some reason you're unable to fathom it. In reality you're the one responding exactly how these big AI companies want -…
Show HN: Automatically detect and patch walking-dead states in Sierra games
The discussion here reminded me of the "Cruelty Scale" ( https://www.ifwiki.org/Cruelty_scale ) It was originally created specifically in relation to text adventure games, but seems appropriate to a broader range of game types. The rankings are based on criteria like how far the game lets you go after m…
Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities
You see it as good news, I see it as writing on the wall that they are losing control. These actions won't scale for more powerful models. We knew the frontier was going to be dangerous, it is, it only gets more dangerous from here, and no one cares until it's too late.
OpenLogi
This support Windows and macOS in addition to Linux. I'm not in a hurry to disrupt things on my Linux machine, but I might just have to try this on the other platforms. While it does look extremely likely that AI is used for the copy writing, and probably for some of the code maintenance, I'm not convinced that this i…
OpenLogi
I have a sneaking suspicion that if everyone proffering an LLM coding opinion stated their languages and area of focus/expertise we’d all be in a lot more agreement about the output… Example 1: “ as a JavaScript front-end developer working with React and node, I think LLMs save 500 hours a week and are better tha…
Scientists stunned by children's lung recovery in ultra low emission zone
Yup, especially on the older lines (Northern, Victoria, Jubilee, Bakerloo). Particulate pollution can be two orders of magnitude higher than at street level. This tends to be glossed over when trumpeting the success of ULEZ measures pushing people away from cars and onto public transport, and I say that as a non-car-o…
Palomar: A registry of Lean verified mathematics
It seems that Lean keeps re-inventing everything Isabelle has had for decades ( https://isa-afp.org/ ) in worse ways. There is no reason this has to depend on GitHub.
Being ambitious and being a dad
Ha :-) 3 is fun. They get better and better I reckon!
Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
Yes, though since it's a "micro" VM, it shouldn't take up nearly as many resources as a regular VM. Some hypervisors also implement memory ballooning to not take up memory that's not being used, but I'm not sure whether Docker Sandbox's hypervisor implements that.
Being ambitious and being a dad
That just tells us the person wasn’t a good parent either. Your comment assumes the only way to parent is to manipulate, patronize, etc. That’s just one perspective though. There are other ways to parent that are actually fantastic management training - figuring out how to think from another human’s POV, acknowledge t…
OpenLogi
I would rather it feel dev-cheap than corpo-cheap. Throw your MD doc into a basic CSS reset/theme, with a github and download link.
Field measurements of neighborhood-scale air temperature impacts of data centers
Have you seen pictures of Los Angeles from space? It's a grey speck. I grew up in the smog layer, let me tell you it was disgusting and I'm sure it gave me respiratory disease. But from space, the smog blowing off every day looks like a tiny little fart because the world is huge. I feel the same way about these data c…
How does IKEA come up with names for its products?
My first memory of being angry with not knowing English was when we were trying to read the pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh cards and I clearly remember it being gibberish. Otherwise it's difficult to remember what it was like to not know a skill before you learned it, at least it is for me.
Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
>>hacking and spyware that plagued Windows users a couple decades ago And that still plagues every computing platform now. Including Apple platforms. So the lockdown clearly didn’t completely solve that problem like a lot of people seem to claim
Bun 1.4 Rust rewrite is not looking good
Same thing can be said about Streams in Node.js as well. They had a working streams implementation before the Web Streams API was in browsers (iirc). So implementing the standard now means removing what's already there, or breaking a lot of existing code. Which leads to confusing things like the fact that there are tw…
Scientists stunned by children's lung recovery in ultra low emission zone
Yeah, seems way better now than it was in the 90s though. They’ve improved the ventilation a lot.
Ask HN: Why does Hermes Agent not infringe on Hermès?
In the US, trademarks are used to protect brand identifiers such as brand names, logos, slogans etc. The purpose of this system is to prevent consumer confusion, and by extension, protects brand identity and reputation in the marketplace. Potential infringement is evaluated based on likelihood of confusion, whether a…
Cerebras CS-4
> I would still pay ~500 for a chip that runs 10kt/s of a ~100b model on my machine even if the half life is 6months. .... :T Considering the 8B model uses 53 billion transistors, that's 6.625 transistors per parameter. https://taalas.com/products/ Assuming they can get it down to 3 (somehow),…
Anti-corruption site bribes.fyi shuts down forever
Launch, go viral, shut down in 48hrs. New record?
How does IKEA come up with names for its products?
I learned (some) Swedish at age of 35 and it was quite a moment when IKEA product names became meaningful to me. Plate PLATE, fun! Pretty much like when as a kid I learned enough of English to realize all those songs around actually have lyrics, pretty dumb sometimes
Scientists stunned by children's lung recovery in ultra low emission zone
EV's have 100% reduction of NOx/tailpipe VOCs, 100% reduction in soot/tailpipe particulates, 70% reduction in brake pad dust (due to regenerative braking), in exchange for 25% increase in tire wear. Vehicles are capped at emissions of 3mg/mile of particulates and 30mg/mile of VOC's. Something like…
Fixing a bricked Framework laptop
I don't disagree, but consider that second hand machines are of unknown state, and often have no (or limited) warranty. Just like with a second hand car, there is a higher maintenance burden. How does an average joe know if a machine on ebay is great? If the answer is "they have to learn how to spot a good one", it is…
And then the men with guns tell you to do it anyway
I'd say expecting non-hypocrisy is also a top item. Someone says x behavior from a leader is disqualifying? OK, maybe that's their earnestly held belief and so worthy of consideration even if I disagree with it. But if their behavior is the opposite/shows hypocrisy and is suddenly not disqualifying? That should b…
