Re:Epoll vs. Io_uring in Linux on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @05:58AM (#48642657)
This article is very brief and not deep enough. There is one I’m finding a much more “to the bone” and explaining io_uring concepts in much deeper details:

Feel free to reverse-search the related HN thread too.

Not yet, but soon… Bun
You could keep multimodal projector (understanding of audio, images & PDFs) in system RAM with `--no-mmproj-offload` in llama.cpp. Of course, then it is not accelerated with GPU, but you save its VRAM.
That is why we have discussions like these: https://x.com/i/status/2039099810943304073
The official SW on MacOS is somewhat usable if:

- you disable all communication with a firewall (so it doesn't autoupdate)

- `sudo pkill -9 LogiPluginService && sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/LogiPluginService.app` (so it does not eat resources and don't run a useless service in the bg)

Start with the YT series on neural nets and LLMs from 3blue1brown
The most funny thing is how synchronicity worked its magic:

Roo Code experimental code indexing using vector DB dropped 3 days ago. Theire using Tree-sitter (the same as Aider) to parse sources into ASTs and do vector embedding on that product, instead of plaintext.

Yeah, I remember that option - basic tier of DTU DB with 250GB of storage - free for one year, then continue for $15/m.

When the client brought some 3rd party expert and he advised rewriting to MySQL, I quickly did the math and it was like $60/m, without a free year.

We continued with DTU MSSQL with Prisma ORM and never regreted.

Can you add a recent build of llama.cpp (arm64) to the results pool? I'm really interested in comparing mlx to llama.cpp, but setting up the mlx seems too difficult for me to do by myself.
Re:NASA Successfully Acquires GPS Signals on Moon on Friday March 07, 2025 @10:24AM (#43290887)
Well, in that case, why not build a hybrid—a low-orbit satellite network synced to a few ground bases that will give the exact position of flying over satellite(s)?

Building a network of a very tall tower every 58km around a globe of the Moon seems very uneconomic.

To me it doesn’t look like a bug. I believe it is a intended “feature” pushed from high management - a dark patern to make plebs pay for answer that has overflowed the quota.

If evil company knows that you have this kind of watch-dog, you’re risking a torture instead of quick death.
Don't jump on hyped technologies (like Kubernetes, or Kafka) from day 1. You would be surprised how much you can do with $5 VPS running PHP + Postgres.

Don't fancy your tech stack, shipp the bloody project!

Isn’t the cancer the “exponential game”? If there are 20 cancer cells in the body on day 1, on day 30 there will be 10737418240 (10.7B) cells if they double every day. This is how we were taught about cancer, so it is a very quick process when started. How can you get 7 years of ahead of time in this setup?

I believe it is just outdated/not-updated. Atleast in DnB scene I can tell it is missing the recent "flavour" of liquid (melodic DnB with nice, mostly female vocals, see latest Subfocus album), or Crossbreed, very hard flavour od DnB, represented for example by Counterstrike.
