I was unaware of alternative IRs for julia (albeit I started learning much more about compilers once I left the julia ecosystem). What other IRs is this supposed to replace? And why not just go with MLIR directly?

Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad to hear that mobile linux is practical for some people. What do you do for GPS? And in day-to-day use, doesn't WayDroid drain the battery?

Tap to pay isn't itself a dealbreaker, for me it's more a representation of the status-quo and what is to come, specifically how more and more of the modern world will rely on integrations with proprietary software and hardware on phones. Tap to pay with credit cards isn't too big of a deal, but the wallet as a whole (i.e. boarding passes for airplanes, gift cards, ChargePoint tap-in) is a major feature.

Linux has long been the most practical laptop OS for me, but I can't see it ever being competitive with mobile OSes, and that's coming from someone who wants it to succeed (I've installed postmarketOS on a OP6T). I just don't see how it will overcome the various issues (app support, tap-to-pay, camera quality, etc).

really interesting perspective, as an ex-julia user, can't really argue with the main points. I will say that julia is delightful to use and code in, whereas the article's main point is that rust becomes bearable once you don't have to code yourself, haha.

Where is this 10x number coming from?

Is the site broken for me, or is there literally zero information on what this is besides the title of this HN post? I’ve never seen a waitlist for such little information

This is incredible. Interactive demos like this make mathematics 10x more accessible

This is really cool. In the demo, how do they just yank the chip off the board? I'd have assumed it would be somehow soldered on or something.

This is why I like buying in a physical store. I also think the only solution to this practice is really just to avoid buying as much as possible. I never get food delivery and only get uber to go to and from the mechanic. Ditto for the medical system, I got charged $400 for a strep throat test. I’ll just stay home until I feel better

I think the court of public opinion also matters greatly to be honest, especially when you are responsible for a dangerous technology

It can be an exhausting way to view relationships, but I think it’s true. I’d argue there also is plenty of room for intimacy and vulnerability when it’s genuine. I think people appreciate these traits when they are genuine and appropriate, and prefer it to a fake aura of confidence

Didn’t realize we could post short stories on here. This one was really nice :)

I wrote a similar sci fi short story set in the near future if anyone is interested:

This looks really cool. I wonder if they support vi keybinds

Been a proud user for a while at jarbus.net :)

This is pretty cool :) I had worked on a similar project earlier this year, but applied to GA and not ES

This is so so, cool, but I feel like most of the features are lost once you need to use complex dependencies that aren’t in unison.

Love this. I feel this narrative is woefully under-appreciated. I think there’s something beautiful about watching people who aren’t near the top of their field, “normal” people who are just trying to have fun. But that doesn’t make a good story usually. I’ve tried writing some fiction along these lines, and it requires quite a bit more narrative to convey.

I posted this 5 days ago, how did this resurface?

Side tangent, but I absolutely love how Tao uses mastodon

Mastodon has been great so far

I would imagine that this makes sense for a large subset of deliveries, if 30-50% of deliveries can be done with drones, not only will it still be worth it, but I imagine those customers will likely buy more from the store, especially if they can make it same-day delivery

Haha I can relate, I went through a similar phase last year: https://jarbus.net/blog/zen-in-the-art-of-beat-saber/

Beautiful. It’s what I’ve been telling myself as well, and it’s gotten to the point where I like what I do so much that I feel bad for the people who never bother to give me a shot. Not just for posting, but for community building and stuff too. I think that goes a long way.

When I was at my lowest, I got a message from a 14 year old guy who I’m 90% sure was an FBI agent with access to my search history. They said they really liked my posts, and that one little message gave me so much life.

a few years ago, i'd have thought this to be excessive, but now i'm sympathetic to this.

Why not just use Anna's archive at this point?

I can't tell how much computing power this machine has

Say what you want, but I respect this a lot. Sure as hell beats giving it all to your kids.

Is search really that costly to run? $10/1000 searches seems really pricey. I'm wondering if these costs will come down in a few years.

I like it as a fun experiment, but I definitely wouldn't require users to interact with my website so much in order to start viewing the content
