I still think that generating a Zig-Rust transpiler would be a better approach, given all the LLM quirks, including the ability to just /goal the model with binary-identical LLVM bytecode. However, an open-sourced tool like that would&

This topic starter. I saw a post on Twitter in "for you" feed, verified it, found an interesting bit (rewriting prompt) and started a topic on HN. Like I said, I never expected it to hit #1.

Bun may become unusable after Antropic meddling with it. In that case the expertise would be wasted. It's not a great deal for most of users, but still.

I couldn't use that title because I didn't know if it an experiment at the moment. Even now the correct title would be "Bun author says that he is entertaining the idea of porting it from Zig to Rust, creates an experimental

I am a topic starter, and I had no emotional response, was just being curious. Never expected it will land at HN #1. I specifically posted the link to the first commit and not to the whole branch, because currently the prompt is the most in

Thank you for the clarification! While you are here, can you elaborate on the method chosen? For example, why not write a conversion script for phase A? I mean, same Anthropic model will produce it in no time, prompting it is at the same co

Lots of people, me included, heavily invested their time and expertise into Bun, using it as a daily driver, to bundle production code or even using it in production as a JS/TS runtime. Of course, we are interested in Bun to stay a use

I can see some logic in that China has a very relaxed attitude toward copyright and IP.

On the contrary. If you really do this street-corner experiment, 80% of answers would be "I want my phone to last longer on one charge." Other 20% will be "I want my phone to charge faster". No one will say, "Oh, I

"Prediction markets" are just scams where insiders trade against suckers. So those who are not insiders should understand that their money will be alleviated by insiders, end of story.

I wonder if they deliberately withheld SMTP sending to get better vendor lock. However, without SMTP support, the email sending service is mostly unusable.

For about 10 years, I have had a habit of creating a new, separate Google account for every new project I start, and then adding my personal account as a team member/collaborator. This way, the potential blast radius is (hopefully) lim

A system like the one in "my phone's operating system". Do you assume that "Alphabet boys" have access to all parts of all Android file systems of all the phones ever produced?

The app decrypts the message and displays it via the system notification.

by SergeAx 5mo ago
Right. So I send a push notification with the "silent" flag and encrypted content; the app receives it, decrypts the text, and displays the notification locally. Google/Apple has only ciphertext in their FBI/CIA/NSA

Probably stupid question: why won't they e2e-encrypt push notifications too? The vector is obvious and has been open since forever.

If you are not ready to trust a vibe-coded app with all your digital life, I recommend Filestash[1], easy to install self-hosted frontend for virtually any type of storage. Written in Go, it can be enhanced with plugins. Uses local SQLite d

I just listened to the top 3 songs of this project out of curiosity, and it feels like the same song. Same rhythmic pattern, same harmonies, same instruments. However, I also listened to several other artists on the chart[1]. They all, bar

You can't make up things like FAKKU, LLC. This simulation is out of control.

But we, as humans, were literally "been there, done that". Nothing new is happening. We are just picking up the ball where we dropped it 50 years ago. The ship is somehow newer and even has a toilet. The said toilet receives most

Were you using the Gemini model with the Claude Code harness? Otherwise, it is not an honest comparison.
