The gist of this is that in the 90', you read something like that and noded but couldn't understand it fully or testing it unless you invested a tremendous amount of time. And now with LLM, you just get it running yourself in 5 minutes even if you haven't touched C in your life.

Turns out you can communicate across containers via 63-bits of available space in a shared lock you acquire on /proc/self/ns/time that all processes have access to.
No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers.

Is it me or Firefox has been glitching a lot recently? Feel like it’s freeze for a few seconds here and there for no apparently reasons. Super weird.

Didn't think I would find a use case for xonsh in my life, but I was wrong. When your client machine is really locked down and the only shell you can use is cmd.exe and python's, then suddenly it feels like a savior.

Got back to marimo (marimo.io), the jupyter notebook alternative, after an HN post reminded me it existed. The progress it has done in a few years is impressive.
I expect it to become my default python shell in the future.
And with uv, it's just so easy to start it.

The Nothing Headphones are the best sound gear I've bought in a while. Sure, noise cancellation is not totally at the Sony WH level & you're a tad below Bose sound quality.
But it's still very good, and comes with fantastic usability. The physical controls are particularly amazing.

I'm used to Windows every other release, but W11 is, years after it came out, still a dumpster fire. I can't believe they allowed the team to publish that. It is beta software.

There is still something magical about being able to do:
uvx --with loguru ipython
And try loguru in ipython without having to manually install or uninstall any of them.
We are this close to having a "npm create" equivalent, making the whole scaffolding of whole projects a one-command ordeal.

Reposting because it's something I don't think most people realize. It's the logical consequences of having good and popular information retrieval systems. Even wikipedia is not immune.
That's not science fiction, it will likely happen by design when PR firms realize it's better to pay OpenAI and anthropic than tik tok to influence people.
We already have synchronized fake news in mainstream medias, of course we will have paid hallucinations.

I really like Cuelang, and the closest thing I can get is Starlark.
You can write configuration in a decent sandboxed language, parse it with Python, and has very powerful filtering features for user capabilities.
But it does require a lot of ceremony.
