The most famous historical example is Weimar Germany in 1923. To pay off massive World War I debts and striking workers, the government simply printed more money. Another classic example is Zimbabwe in 2008...

dont worry, soon or late it will show up in HN..

I did the same move as you away from k8s to plain proxmox containers and VMs. Professionally i do work with k8s, and see the benefits of it (not always, but i see the use cases), but in my homelab it was consuming a lot of energy. Just dropping the whole k8s, made me save 1 kw energy when idle... I guess mainly because of the active API, shifting workload from different workloads and the whole machinery that happens behind the scenes..

Is this really recognition for what Zig has already achieved, or is it simply another way of financing its future development?

Mitchell clearly benefits from Zig succeeding. Well, some of his products depend on it. From a cynical point of view, donating nearly a million dollars is also a way to gain soft power over the language's future direction...

I'm not suggesting that's his motivation though... I'm just asking whether someone who funds such a large share of a language's development inevitably ends up influencing its direction, even if he don't formally control the project.

I like it. I just wonder if today transpiling is better then Agentic Programming. Any specific use case where i should use it? With a good model, SKILLS.md, AGENTS.md and prompts I am able to do - allegedly - a better job then a transpiler, no?

however I'm beginning to think that their greater contribution is ghostty

Is that meant as an argument in favor of "another $400k for Zig" or against it?

I like Ghostty, but investing $800k to develop a programming language that is primarily known for producing a terminal emulator doesn't sound like a particularly strong argument in its favor.

Genuine question. I’m not trolling.

The Taubaté LLM Hoax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taubat%C3%A9_pregnancy_hoax

an eternal 7x1.. and I am not talking about Curaçao..

Mercedes-AMG GT 63, costs like 150k, no?

that's sounds really interesting.

I can imagine LLM can, or will be able to, write safe C too. At least safer than people can.

do you have more information about it? thats sounds interesting

- do the research with your setup and publish it.

Which sounds arrogant and IMO don't belong to hacker news. IMO it's ok to don't like some questions. But it's ok to have such question in a non-research forum like here.

Any idea whether we can still find its source code? It would be nice to be able to run it today, as we do with other historic Unix flavors.

i went the same road, and have great results. No mobile. Every night, read books with the kids. Video Game in the weekend, only 2D games, like Mario 3. Worked great for us. Now they are teenagers, doing well in sports and school, have always a book with them, and no social media.

Childhood computing for me smells like LOGO programming, King Quest, Space Quest and Police Quest games.. I loved test drive from Sierra. I graduated as game developer, because of Sierra. I wanted to work at nintendo. I ended up writing my firsts exploits in 99, got some fame on bugtrag and became cyber security expert in the 2000s.. but the only thing that I wanted, was to do game dev for living.. maybe one day...

The repository owner is a true ruby hero. I am not sure if the name is a joke, and he was just fooling around, but the code is real.

A cage is an entire room.

Not everywhere. Running a data center myself, we have cages for 1 rack, 3 racks and so on..

But it still great today, no? I mean professionally I am in the MS 365 world, which is definitely not better than gmail. We have some mail servers for services and until now we weren't able (for instance) to find an open source alternative to gmail and office 365.. any recommendation?

the whole thing is creepy. The ruvnet, has multiple projects.. its just AI. A lot of AI. It floods GH infra.. Kind of easy to understand why GH struggles.

wow "Gmail ruined email" is a strong argument. Hard to agree with. Gmail revolutionized and democratized email.

however my last experiences with IBM was: they send you 10 junior consultants, they get the money, for 10 senior consultants, and still cannot deliver what they promised.

Isn't Gmail a product? i think its pretty solid. Actually the best e-mail service out there, no?

A cage[0] is ~100x larger than what you need to host a single server.

Yup, but i was assuming that he wanted to experiment building gpu rigs. For sure standard GPU servers are cheaper and easy to maintain. I have two lenovos, bought them used, already EOL.. was cheap and better than any custom gpu rig.. but i was pragmatic, because my goal was to put it in production, and not to research...

Yes, i mean, he could rent a cage and run grumbl it there. It doesn't have to be a standard datacenter server, even though a standard datacenter server would be better and cheaper.

out of curiosity, did you check how much would cost to rent a cage in a colocation space? Having to power your computer from two different outlets sounds wild..

I was more thinking, Taxi drivers that hate cars, or people who hate their work but still do it, the whole life.. but yeah your answer is good too lol :)

You can still hate it and find it useful or work with it daily, no?

Have you looked at Kotlin?

Yes Kotlin is nice too. Type systems are important and helpful. Performance is a must too.. that's why we all in some point left ruby... but ruby makes you happy.. Maybe because my experience with Kotlin is restricted to Android, i didnt love that that much. Same with Crystal or even JRuby.. it's almost ruby, but not really.

I guess it's the same with "I rewrote blah blah in Rust," where everyone knows it was vibe coded. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but Hacker News is a forum mostly read by people who enjoy hacking and building things. "Vibe coded codebases" and AI generated text generally aren't praised here, although they certainly are in other places. Or maybe it's just a matter of time until hackers get over or used with it. Time will tell...
