I wish Chrome would disable it too.

Middle click is typically used for "Open in a new tab", people barely remember that it simultaneously pastes your clipboard (e. g. see https://evercoder.github.io/clipboard-inspector/) without "clipboard read" consent dialogue, which quacks like a security vulnerability.


Sad that your comment is downvoted. But yes, for those who need clarification:

1) Measurements are faulty. List of 1,000 ints can be 4x smaller. Most time measurements depend on circumstances that are not mentioned, therefore can't be reproduced.

2) Brainrot AI style. Hashmap is not "200x faster than list!", that's not how complexity works.

3) orjson/ujson are faulty, which is one of the reasons they don't replace stdlib implementation. Expect crashes, broken jsons, anything from them

4) What actually will be used in number-crunching applications - numpy or similar libraries - is not even mentioned.


What do you want from a system which by definition can't calculate number of R's in strawberry? (yes, still can't; gives random answer if you slightly modify the question).


Glad to see a project of Fabrice Bellard on github, finally. I know many great opensource projects exist without public development (notably, sqlite), but is always disappointing to have no public bug tracker, no patch submission, no commit history, contact by email, tarballs (even with a signature, tooling for signed downloads never received any development), etc.


Should be: "New account spams HN with AI generated slop (emojis included), third attempt"


A bit of salt from me. This is why I don't like target-audience-optimized distributions.

Problem statement: speaker do not work properly (Asus Rog Z13 in my case).

Here what Bazzite does: obtains a firmware _somewhere_, stores in a no-license personal repo with a promise to rewrite repo history and purge files within 5 business days on contact, builds Bazzite-only installation script and pulls it in a main repo[1]. Users after that say, that Bazzite is the only distro where it works out-of-the-box.

Here what I did: contacted linux-firmware, was redirected by Mario Limonciello to Cirrus, contacted few Cirrus people who commit these firmwares, got response the same day. Same day Asus Rog Z13 firmwares were added to linux-firmware[2]. Was it simple? Hell yes. Why other people prefer to reverse-engineer instead? Today users say that Bazzite is the best, tomorrow they will see the price of this smoothness and it will turn into another Ventoy-style drama[3].

This is like an extension for https://xkcd.com/1289/ - it works for everything: internet, phones, electricity, tv, etc:

1) Because the thing you are talking about is just rebranded thing that existed 20 years before

2) Because boosters are egocentric drug addicts, pederasts, druglords with crypto stashes, raped their sister, or everything altogether

3) Because it failed to solve MY task

4) Because it can't be more important than a sunshine

5) Because it attacks my intellectual property


1) What. How do you extend that?

2) Kind of hard to argue that for electricity and phones. Internet, maybe because it was a bunch of academics. TV was boosted by big business.

3) It fails to solve any task, in particular LLMs. You're tricked into doing the work instead. Other kinds of machine learning are useful and do solve tasks. TV also didn't exist to solve a task, at least it was honest about it. Phones solve the task they were meant to, as did the internet until it got enshittened. (Still does, but worse.)

4) whut.

5) It actually steals information. All the other tech didn't.


I think a bit more interesting statistics is to count only \w—\w. This excludes cases like "(—)" and emdashes surrounded by spaces, which is, apparently, what Russian-speaking users like to use. Also it is an very old tradition to format page titles as <title>[Page name] — [Website name]</title>: depending on language this is a default setting for MediaWiki, WordPress, etc.


Not just Russian speakers put spaces around the emdash, but also the AP style guide.

Also, for what it's worth, UK style guides recommend endash + spaces (but many write emdash + spaces instead), and so do some other languages (eg. German). There are more countries than just America and Russia!


No, I mean in few Slavic languages emdash is replaces "is a / ist / est / es / ...", therefore you will see it in 99% of ru/be/uk Wikipedia articles *in the first sentence*. Coincidentally, in these languages emdash must be surrounded by spaces (no exceptions).


So... The answer is to use during the real-time access the same headless browser as they used during the training? Which they already do, unless you ask specifically to write and run a python script that uses simple requests?

It is like generating static webpages just for SEO: obsolete since 2012[1], and few years later for other major websites.

Why developers should invest THEIR money? Maybe let vibe coders pay?

Look at this - https://github.com/n4si/kubernetes/pull/1 - devin-ai-integration wants to merge 10,000 commits, 5000+ files changed. This is not some random user of Devin AI, this is a part of paid promotional video, demonstrating "a nice PR" (quote from https://youtu.be/OIomeLQmf-4?t=219), solving "real life problem" (sic). Now let's say, user pays $$$ according to formula of cognitive load added (both for human and CI). A single PR like this would cost as much as "oops, Netlify just sent me a $100k bill", but this time without a refund.


There are a plenty of free LLMs out there. It doesn’t even have to be particularly smart. It can just infinitely nit pick and ask “why did you do it like this?” on random lines of PR.
