I am a reader. I want AI to create better writing. If it creates better writing than those of humans, so be it, it means I gonna read books written by AI.

Pretty simple these days, probably can do the same with any game.
Re:Coding Is Not Solved on Monday September 28, 2026 @10:17AM (#49878374)
GitHub Copilot is now written entirely in Rust, with AI agents doing most of the porting work. The migration cost about $120,000 in AI token usage plus about three weeks of a developer's time. The effort updated the runtime module-by-module until the job was completed, spanning over 135 releases across a 14.5-week time period. 430,000 lines of TypeScript were converted into 800,000 lines of Rust.

There will be a lot of hurt and pain in mathematician's community. It is hard to accept that major discoveries are now just a function of spent token $$.
Absolutely magical drug ! It makes you thinner, younger and now smarter !

Re:Nvidia Contacted Anna's Archive to Access Books on Monday January 19, 2026 @06:11AM (#46677629)
NVIDIA executives allegedly authorized the use of millions of pirated books from Anna's Archive to fuel its AI training. In an expanded class-action lawsuit that cites internal NVIDIA documents, several book authors claim that the trillion-dollar company directly reached out to Anna's Archive, seeking high-speed access to the shadow library data.

It is pretty strange that a country doesn't control what is going in and what is going out. In a small European country I'm most familiar with, everything is checked by customs officers. Dogs, x-rays, customs declarations, import taxes.

I'm experienced in building high-performance data pipelines using Python and JAX, specializing in low-level optimizations like JIT compilation, vectorization, parallelization, and operator fusion. My solutions run seamlessly on CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs, consistently outperforming traditional tools like pandas and polars in both speed and scalability. If you need blazing-fast, scalable data processing leveraging modern hardware and cutting-edge compiler tech, let’s connect!

Re:Sirius: A GPU-native SQL engine on Tuesday July 01, 2025 @03:55AM (#44431635)
Very interesting ! I looked at the repo and it seems that Sirius uses cudf as an engine. So it is not like relational operations were written from scratch. Also, TPCH SF=100 would fit nicely into GPU memory. Would be interesting to see comparisons of something like SF=1000.

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025) on Monday June 30, 2025 @01:38AM (#44419792)
I'm writing a series of tutorials on solving algorithmic leetcode-like problems in a modern, scalable way. I use JAX library for python, so the solutions work on cpus, gpus and tpus. Everything must be vectorized, parallel, just-in-time compiled and differentiable !

It is not really Postgres, the queries are run on DuckDB. Yeah, DuckDB is really fast for analytical queries.

I wrote an app that reads you stories in foreign languages ( supported are English, German, Spanish, French and Ukrainian). Stories are generated with help of LLM, voices are VITS, speech recognition is fast whisper. You can add a word to dictionary just by speaking it. I hope you'll enjoy the app, it is completely free. If you have any ideas on how to improve it, I'll be happy to listen ! App...

Hi there. I'm a developer with 20+ years of professional experience. I like developing AI, speech-to-text and text to speech solutions for startups and established companies. I can code MVP with advanced AI capabilities for your startup in a relatively short period of time.

It is already too late. The extinction already started. Right now it is insects, frogs and fishes that has got to go. Our time , together with the rest of vertebrates, will come in 60-70 years.
