Looks like they merged it back in, but it's a shame it was taken out in the first place.

I noted something similar a few weeks ago. Companies are finally putting APIs in front of things that should have had APIs for years!
I believe you're thinking of JScript, they're not quite the same thing.
> "The key insight is..." This was either written by Claude or someone who uses Claude too much. I wish they could be upfront about it.
I can't help but feel there is a funny pattern going on. A lot of companies want to embrace AI, agents, etc. so they make their platforms easier to use by AI, implementing whatever the latest craze is. I imagine we're…
TIL there's a batch API.. This seems like something a lot of AFK coders should be using. The pattern for those users is typically they would set some kind of token budget, but their agent would still try to burn through…
Hasn't Michael Burry been talking about this exact thing for at least 6 years now? Edit: The Big Short’s Michael Burry Explains Why Index Funds Are Like Subprime CDOs (2019) https://archive.is/7mOuF
Sidenote from the article, but TIL Mark Atwood is no longer at Amazon.

Carmack's comments and the comments in the thread entirely surprise me. 256kbit/s was pretty much the standard ADSL speed 20 years ago. I remember thinking it was lucky some of my friends had 512kbit/s and 1500kbit/s…
Does it mean that they can be stored at room temperature, in humid conditions, etc? ie. requiring no HVAC/dehumidifiers or whatever else might be needed to reliably store archive media? That's my charitable…
On the idea of replacing ones self with a shell script, I think there's nothing stopping people (and it should probably be encouraged) with replacing ones use of an LLM with an LLM generated "shell script". Using an LLM…
I read the article, I summarised the extremely lengthy points by using AI and then replied to that for the benefit of context. The HN submission has been editorialised since it was submitted, originally said "Yes, I…
I think it's a good idea, it does disrupt some of the traditional workflows though. If you use AI as tab-complete but it's what you would've done anyway, should you flag it? I don't know, plenty to think about when it…

The entire article, probably quite intentionally, seems to overuse semicolons (in my opinion). I say this as a semicolon enjoyer, but I think the overuse of semicolons in this article leads the reader to a bit of…
Someone better versed with parsing crab-grade enterprise-ready Rust could probably give more insight but I think it boils down to a lot of assert 1 != 0; kind of lines...
Part-way through the section on bit-twiddling, I thought to myself "Oh I wonder if we could use a solver here". Lo and behold, I was pleasantly surprised to see the author then take that exact approach. Love the…
Not sure how it works in the US but many countries can choose to deny entry for any reason and my understanding is they don't even need to provide a reason. If that is the case here then I really doubt the researcher…
Sadly, a modern day french door is pretty inefficient. Consumers prefer them because of their looks but they are very far from being an efficient way to keep food cold.
It's not immediately clear from the documentation but if anyone is familiar with Iroh, I'd love to know if it's suitable for use in disconnected networks, eg. WiFi networks or PANs with no internet. I suspect that Iroh…
I don't disagree but I think some of these problems could potentially be solved by having somewhat of a birds nest of a filesystem for large blobs, eg. /blobs/<sha256_sum>/filename.zip and then symlinking/reflinking…
or, you know.. symlinks
I wonder if Zedeus would be willing to list some reasons why they have decided to ditch Nim. 6 years is a long time using a language, I'm sure there's some useful feedback.
