we don't have Fox in Africa
europe has had a free ride at the rest of the world's expense, whether through security provided by the us, resources stolen from africa, or cheap energy from russia, when others don't give europeans what they want, they complain, and that's about it, replacing starlink? good luck
I did, the sd.cpp take too much time on my laptop to generate image, the issue is known and it did not seem like it gonna be resolved, so I build my own, and that's why https://github.com/netdur/qwen-image-cplus
flash on ai studio is my fav model to chat with, by miles

I started my antigravity ide and I do not see gemini 4 there, does it mean google need government approval?
The OP will go on or not, I don't need to think high or low of Mask
Re:The case against a C alternative (2022) on Friday August 21, 2026 @07:30AM (#49386545)
no worry, name is intentional, it's C + packages, language itself is tiny, strictly bounded by the C ABI, and doesn't include most of the features you'd expect in a language, even standard library is just a external package, so it's not a subset of C++ at all
Re:The case against a C alternative (2022) on Friday August 21, 2026 @05:32AM (#49385761)
I am guilty in a sense, I started a new programming language called C+ and one of the pillars I set was that it should not be an alternative to C (or any other language), in fact it uses Clang as its compiler, most of the points in the article still hold, but I hope it doesn’t stop people from coming up with new ideas and actually implementing them in this field, you don't have to be next big thing to be awesome

like finding a rock of gold underground and tossing it away because it’s dirty?

Remember, this is HN, behave like hackers
unlike many of the commenters, I found this pretty nice and educational, there are full stack developers who cannot write anything outside React and do not even understand why React was created in the first place
why would any software want to have Kubernetes moment? can't count how devop I know that is confused by it

Do something instead of complain
Re:Qwen 3.8 Max on Sunday July 19, 2026 @07:47AM (#48967244)
The only problem I had with Qwen, fine tuning on Colab, it takes 31 t/s while Gemma 4 is around 9 t/s, otherwise, one of best local LLM

Perhaps never, Claude will just be replaced by something else, and eventually we’ll have the Amish of AI
basically investors interested in long term and see how spacex the only one in game
very narrow vision, openai and anthropic realized what they have probably won’t lead to agi so they moved the goalposts to replacing jobs, programming just happened to be the easiest field because engineers are technical, willing to pay, and the input/output is relatively easy to measure, even that has problems though, a lot of managers are noticing that code generation is fast but actual production output doesn’t improve at the same rate, anthropic basically bootstrapped itself on coding and now they’re looking for higher paying fields that put less pressure on their servers
Re:Rewriting Bun in Rust on Thursday July 09, 2026 @07:07AM (#48843962)
Zig and Rust solve different problems, Bun got burned by its indiscipline, and Zig’s response was sadly to flood HN with “how to use Zig” articles

Re:Google limits Meta's use of its Gemini AI models on Sunday June 28, 2026 @11:24AM (#48708162)
Google is the only LLM frontier that can supply huge enterprise grade AI, yet still struggle, the other one is spacex but their LLM is Grok
Re:OpenAI DayBreak – GPT-5.5-Cyber on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @03:39AM (#48641610)
Why do you want to tax openai on anthropic's fud mistake?
Re:Anthropic pauses credit change for Claude Code on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @03:20AM (#48551747)
It will happen, it's just now is not best time for it
Anthropic would never provide weight to anyone for local hosting
Because TPU has 2GB and weight + context needs more
Re:Google will pay SpaceX $920M per month for compute on Saturday June 06, 2026 @09:06AM (#48424718)
Yes, it is issue of scale, google had to restrict usage because hardware are not available, regardless of what kind of hardware that is
Re:What was your "Oh Shit" moment with GenAI? on Saturday June 06, 2026 @06:06AM (#48423312)
That is one of best answers
not sure if I understand you, but 4Q and QAT 4Q are different
had a good run with Gemma 4 E2B Unsloth 4Q: https://youtube.com/shorts/XLsAnz5aAAI

The E4B model doesn’t fit on my phone TPU, so it swaps to RAM, the QAT version means more accuracy, good!

Re:Claude Opus 4.8 Max responding to an empty message on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @09:42AM (#48383970)
That's great, spotting Opus text got easier
