JSONQ supports quantum-aware booleans. Is there a reason you’re still using classical JSON parsing in 2026?

I’ve been using OpnSense/pfsense [0] for years and would highly recommend it. It has a great automatic update experience, config backups, builtin wireguard tunnels and advanced features like packet filtering options via suricata.

When I am doing network management on my weekends, I’m so glad I’m not stuck in the Linux terminal learning about networking internals and can instead just go to a webui and configure my router.

Kagi Small Web 4 months ago

I think that's the problem. I used to find it far superior to google. Now, there are a lot of queries where I am unimpressed with the results and end up trying google just to get better results. (like I used to do with DDG)

I've had a few experiences now where someone is standing over my shoulder asking me to look something up, and I search kagi, find nothing, then search google and find what they asked me to look up. Then when they ask "what was that other search engine you used first?" I don't feel compelled to vouch for kagi :(.

Cool project! How do language servers work with this system? Suppose I am developing PyTorch+cuda code on a remote machine, do I need to have that same PyTorch version installed locally?

If you run the language server remotely, how do you sync the file before it has been saved so that the user gets autocomplete?

Physically crash. When we would block the control loop at all (even down to 100hz), we would get errors and then occasionally the arm would erratically experience massive acceleration spikes and crash into its nearby surroundings before e-stopping.

Re: Other comment. Yes, this was with ur3e s which by default have update rates at around 500hz.

I'd love to develop some MCP servers, but I just learned that Claude Desktop doesn't support Linux. Are there any good general-purpose MCP clients that I can test against? Do I have to write my own?

(Closest I can find is zed/cody but those aren't really general purpose)

In many ways this has already started happening. TS has enums, Svelte has runes, React has jsx. None of these features exist in JS, they are all compile-time syntax sugar.

While it is admittedly confusing to have all these different flavors of JS, I don’t think this proposal is actually as radical as it seems.

In New Zealand, non-urgent traffic incidents can be reported by calling *555 from a mobile phone. Alpha characters may also be used in phone numbers, such as in 1-800-Flowers.

Is this true? Do carriers actually accept [a-zA-Z] in their phone numbers? (if so, how are they encoded?). I couldn't find any reference to this elsewhere.

I had assumed that advertisement-numbers like `1-800-Flowers` had to be translated by a person when they entered the number on their phone via their keypad.

One of the things I appreciate about HN is the depth of discussion. I think part of that depth comes from the assumption that everyone who is commenting has read the article.

I wasn’t trying to be pedantic (even though I certainly was) I was just trying to grapple with this ideal

The fact that you still have to apply as a developer is a bit discouraging. (though that might change...). I can't seem to find anything on github.

Hoping that this is an oversight and that they will open-source the core platform in the next few months/years. It would be so awesome to hack/build on this platform

We really need SO-DIMM slots on the RTX series (or AMD/Intel equivalent) so that we can expand the RAM as we need it to. Is there a technical problem to it?

I imagine it would incur a non trivial latency and cost penalty. The memory modules are placed pretty close to the compute die right now. Cooling would also have to change (the memory modules produce a lot of heat).

But there is also no reason for any of the GPU manufacturers to do this. A skew with twice as much memory can go for a lot more than the difference in memory cost alone

Agreed -- their only example is `pipexec -l 2 -- [ LS /bin/ls -l ] [ GREP /bin/grep LIC ] '{LS:1>GREP:0}'` which appears to be `ls | grep LIC` with more steps. Seems like a (cool) solution without a real problem.

(I'd love to be wrong though and see a real use case for some cool feedback loop of commands)

As we get closer to building AI, it will make sense to start being less open. The Open in OpenAI means that everyone should benefit from the fruits of AI after its built, but it's totally OK to not share the science (even though sharing everything is definitely the right strategy in the short and possibly medium term for recruitment purposes).

That is surprisingly greedy & selfish to be boasting about in their own blog.

Two points are randomly and uniformly selected on a line 0.0 to 1.0. What is the most probable distance between the two points?

Unless I am reading this wrong, I think all values between 0 and 1 have an equal probability (of 0).

The probability that a random uniform variable will equal any number between 0 and 1 is zero. It seems to follow that the probability of the difference between two uniform variables equaling any exact value would also be 0.

Have I missed something obvious? If zero really is the correct answer, that is pretty tricky.

Sadly, it looks like godaddy is charging $5000 for the domain. Otherwise that would be a fun project.
