I have a very naïve and maybe dumb question coming from someone who is used to scripting languages. It's about the `auto` keyword, while being a nice feature, why is it necessary to write it down ? Isn't it possible to basically say to the compiler : "Hey you see this var declared with no type ? Assume by yourself there is an `auto` keyword."

+1 also. More than being open source and local, you can import your postman requests. It's almost 1:1.

When I read this title, it sounded like "if you travel further with your vehicle, you will consume more gas". Wow, people get paid to make this study ?

Agree. Much more interesting is the nugget that "your car keys always travel farther than your car" (assuming you're only using one set of course).

It is sad people study "brain rot" for LLMs but not for humans. If people were more engaged in cognitive hygiene for humans, many of the social media platforms would be very sane.

What do you base your claim on that people don't study that? I do not follow the research in that area but would find it highly unlikely there was no research into it.

I did not express myself correctly, but you are kinda right. Expressed more correctly, the point I was trying to make is that the cognitive hygiene seems more mainstream/important for LLMs than for humans. There are studies of course of human "brain rot" such as this one : https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-finds-artifi...

What I am sad about is that some people spend time/worry about balancing some random weights of some LLMs for the sake of some "alignment" or whatever "brain rot". Aren't humans more important than LLMs ? Are we, as humans, that tied to LLMs ?

English is not my native language and I hope I made my point clearer.

Curious to hear the take Tsoding has on that news.

he gonna drop it, since it's a main stream thing now and it did hit hn :D.

And it fits the category of "rewrite it in rust for the sake of rewriting it in rust. Is it at least as good as the original ? No, but at least it's in rust". It reminds me of the recent article on hn talking about rewriting sqlite in rust. Simply put, the point is that even if sqlite is written in C and may have small memory leaks, it works perfectly, being tested and fixed over 20+ years. By rewriting it in rust, OK you'll be memory safe, but you will have logic corner edge cases nasty bugs that will appear, and no one wants that. So sqlite will stay in C.

I don't say it is best, but there are solutions like pyinstaller [0] to produce a binary from python code.

[0] https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/

This just obfuscates the issue not actually fixes it. This is 1 binary + all the previously mentioned files.

May I add this link to your interesting list : https://volla.online/en/

Volla OS looks like an Android fork, so more like GrapheneOS than postmarketOS/etc.

When buying the phone you can choose to have it with Ubuntu Touch instead of Volla OS. There is also multi-boot.

Ubuntu Touch is still an Android-based OS (they used to have a variant that didn't rely on Android, but discontinued it).

Thanks for that precision, I didn't know about that fact. For those interested : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ContainerArchitecture

Interesting project ! Tried it on brave mobile Android and it does the job. Just so you know, when I edited the note I wrote in markdown, the note is now in html. But I guess this would mean add a html to markdown converter to the page. I get the minimalist concept, and I sense this could be a daily driver for many.

Thanks, That's a good suggestion—I’ll consider it. For me, since I might not edit content frequently, I just added a simple Markdown-to-HTML conversion.

The Italian company Arduino is the perfect counterexample : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino

Arduino is either sell or die. They chose to sell. Nobody sells a profit making stint.

Linus Torvald is Finnish when he creates his first Linux kernel. Guido Van Rossum is Dutch and created Python. Yeah, please tell me more about EU wanting to keep IP and knowledge.
