Hey buddy, you ok there?

I have extremely bad news for you about the authenticity of pop stars, going back at least to the 1950's.

Not the parent, but I have the same question.

Your reasons above could be said about streamers in general, but what about VTubers in particular appeals to you?

Could be, but it also had problems on my mac. I had to abandon Jellyfin for Emby over it.

Every so often, Jellyfin would choke ingesting a video. Worse, it would hang the whole ingestion process, so videos later in the list wouldn't get processed. Restarting didn't fix it, either, I had to delete the problematic video (which notably, played ok in things like VLC and IINA).

A number of commenters have pointed out static allocation, but none mentioned TigerBeetle's sophisticated testing suite, which is more relevant.

See here for a post on their deterministic simulation harness: https://tigerbeetle.com/blog/2023-07-06-simulation-testing-f...

A casual read of TigerBeetle's practices makes it clear they're doing some very unusual things, both in their memory allocation strategy and in their testing/verification.

Despite TigerBeetle being one of the highest-profile remaining Zig projects, I actually don't think they're representative of the average Zig project at all.

I learned IPA for Thai, and as part of that, I also read that a lot of professional linguists still find IPA too limited.

IPA seems very comprehensive from my amateur perspective, but apparently a lot of modern linguists still extend it or roll their own.

"CSAM" is literally right there. If you think know better than xAI itself, take it up with them.

xAI literally says in their own lawsuit, "Defendant breached the xAI Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy by leveraging Grok to generate non-consensual sexually explicit images and CSAM".

"CSAM" is literally right there. If you think know better than xAI itself, take it up with them.

Might want to double-check that one, chief. xAI itself disagrees with you.

They admitted in court that Grok was used to generate CSAM: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/15/business/xai-sues-user-al...

They didn't happen.

Bold of you to deny Musk's very existence.

"How dare this Science paper summary designed for mass consumption, not meet my personal standards of metallurgical detail! Don't they know I read them?!"

I hear you, but Zig is also 10 years old now. While the authors may not want to signal they're ready, people make assumptions based on age regardless.

Either users think (a) it's actually ready after a decade, since many langs/libs are conservative with jumping to v1.0, or (b) they'll think it's [a toy/a side project/run by perfectionists] that's not ready for production, and might never be.

This isn't exactly fair for those who want to just take tir

That is absolutely false. Israel offering citizenship *does not* mean diaspora Jews are their citizens.

This regurgitates two lies:

1. The old antisemitic trope that Jews have dual loyalties, and are therefore, untrustworthy and not full citizens of whatever country they reside in.

2. The Israeli state's claim that it represents, and speaks for, all Jews, when it doesn't.

Grok did do that on its own: https://archive.ph/YktYp

This is a fictionalized vision of how ideas spread.

The key piece you're missing is there's an asymmetry in generation of truths vs lies. They're not on equal footing. Arguing for that disproportionately benefits lies and ensures a falsehood-rich environment.

Likewise, mutants and the "telephone game" is not of concern to liars at all; it's just another example of the asymmetry of holding on to principles. It's not relevant to the real problems.

This is true, but thunks carry overhead that macros don't in this case.

Ehh, no. In fact, other Lisps are actually slightly better at hot reloading because they're not hampered by the JVM's limits.

Check out stuff like CHANGE-CLASS or whole image loading.

I have you tagged as someone who claimed January 6th was overblown.

Maybe you shouldn't be lecturing anyone else about what qualifies as a crime.

Pretty sure it works out well more often than not. In a Bayesian sense, expertise signifiers are more useful for updating priors than a lack thereof.

Most people invoking "appeal to authority" are not uncredentialed autodidacts who have secretly figured out something mainstream science has missed, but vaccine skeptics reading Facebook, or HN commenters who think they can figure out whole other disciplines from first principles.

I know Space Coast techies who knew SpaceX people. They were talking about how they had to prevent Musk from making dumb changes whenever he showed up, and this was a decade ago.

Free speech is important, but the truth is pretty important, too. I'm fine with calling liars out.

The blizzard of BS we live in should have thoroughly disproved the idea of the "truth will win in the marketplace of ideas" and "sunlight is the best disinfectant". Fox "News" and its ilk are thriving.

The problem is the complete asymmetry of effort between lying and telling the truth. The truth requires research and investigative work. Spouting lies and believing in them, requires none, so it's much easier.

You forget about Mecha-Hitler and Musk having the system prompts changed for him? Grok is dead-last on impartiality.

I sort of lament the use of lines under headings, as they look visually better for human readers of Markdown, but they're worse in other ways: ambiguous heading levels (quick, which is h2, `===` or `---`?), and less token-efficient.

For me, the use of indentation over ``` for code blocks is a complete non-starter, though. It's hostile to copy-and-paste.

Thanks for EXAPUNKS! I love it.

Setting aside that very little about economics rises to the level of "facts of nature" like physics...

What makes you so certain that economies of scale won't work the opposite way you imagine? E.g., if model improvement tapers off, but RAM costs decline (hard to believe atm, but historically likely), then eventually everyone will be able to run SOTA models on their personal hardware.

Heck, even if model sizes simply grow more slowly than RAM costs decrease, the same would happen.

As someone who just upgraded a month ago from the last Intel MBP to a new base M5 MBP, I think your laptop might have a problem. I'm definitely not experiencing any of what you describe when doing normal tasks.

It's funny (and a little depressing), because HN routinely assumes that their world view, and thus, their domain expertise, transfers.

There's no shortage of tech people convinced they deeply understand law, medicine, philosophy, etc. despite never having read much on the topics.

They were probably thinking of the PS2, which Japan did, in fact, temporarily restrict: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-17-fi-20482...

Uyghurs, Tibet, and Taiwan, for starters. Taiwan in particular could become a conflict if push came to shove. Hard to say. (No nation will go to bat for the Uyghurs or Tibet, though.)
