You can think of LLMs as a higher level language for whatever programming language you are using, but informal with ambiguous grammar.

Did I read that right, that you have to have your computer unlocked at all times?

Yeah what can go wrong when you are travelling and your computer is at home unlocked lmao?

The real question is, is that still an option? If it is, then for how long? Sadly, there are several other product lines that have entirely crossed that line a while ago.

If the day ever comes where this is not an option anymore, then I will just clean my house with a broom. Same thing goes for washing machines. If I can't buy one without internet, then I will clean my clothes by hand.

Smart things are the worst shit ever. They make everything take longer, given the debugging/upgrading overhead. Not buying into that. What would be smart, would be a washing machine that cleans, dries, sorts and folds my clothes. Without talking to facebook. I would buy into that, but I don't need to share my washing machine status on instagram

I wonder, what thing does HN think Stallman is wrong about today (and which in the future we will be proven wrong and Stallman was right).

Well, the things that got him canceled were and are wrong obviously. But anything (i know of) software related was right

This really makes me want to try fiddling with some low-level stuff again. I studied mechatronics at uni and programmed microcontrollers in C and assembly, but have gone the webdev direction since then. Does anyone have any trusted quality resources for getting into RISC-V hardware? I'm especially interested in using Rust for this if possible - I've wanted an excuse to learn it in more depth for a while.
334f905d22bc19 · 4 months ago
Since Rust is not directly hardware, here is a nice tutorial on some simple OS basics: https://operating-system-in-1000-lines.vercel.app/en/

There was also some Rust specific OS tutorial somewhere that was written nicely, but I can't find it right now.

Also if you want to get real hardware, there is the neorv32 that has nice documentation: https://stnolting.github.io/neorv32/ https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32

It's a risc-v core written in VHDL

RISK-V - you can easily get the hardware: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/risc-v-on-raspberry-pi-pico...

There will also be the visionfive 2 lite in (hopefully) a moment for more risc-v capabilities. I am excited about it. Haven't looked too much into it, but what I've heard is that the visionfive 2 is not too bad. Lacks a few drivers or performance in them. Will see. I am also curious how easy it can be used for some OS dev.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/starfive/visionfive-2-l...

And if someone wants to get fancy and do some HW-SW-Codesign with risc-v and FPGAs, then there is the PolarFireSoC. A lot cheaper than AMD/Xilinx products and okay-ish to use. Their dev enviroment feels kinda outdated, but at least it's snappy. Also the documentation feels kinda sparse, but most stuff is documented __somewhere__ - you just gotta find it.

Fun fact: The dev board costs less than the chip itself. (Apparently that's often the case, but I just noticed that the first time)

YouTube shorts baffle me, in a way. "We've spent 20 years developing the perfect user interface for watching videos...now let's throw it all away and remove almost every feature so that it's more like TikTok."
334f905d22bc19 · 4 months ago
Well, at least they made it incredibly annoying with the auto translated AI voice. At first I didn't even find the setting on youtube shorts to switch to the actual audio track.

They should keep going though. Maybe someday I will be so annoyed that I finally stop using this website

If a shorter AoC means a happier Eric Wastl and more years of AoC in the future, then that's fine by me!

And goddamn that global leaderboard was just LLM-fodder the last few years anyway

334f905d22bc19 · 4 months ago
This!

Some time ago I was actually thinking about the exact thing in his statement. I mean even if the problems are structurally almost the same each year, it must be a huge time investment to come up with the stories and give them a little twist each year.

Either Eric should chill out and make it smaller, while still keeping the fun or some rich guys should pay him lots of money to make this his full-time job. The former is probably the healthier path for eric and the game
