Io-uring has it's fair amount of CVEs ; I'm wondering if people are checking these out ; because the goal is not to just make something fast ; but fast & secure. It's a little bit of a grey area in my opinion for prod on public machines. Anyone has a counter view on this I'm genuinely curious maybe i'm over cautious ?

ps : there are actually other faster and more secure options than io-uring but I won't spoil ;)


My understanding is that the iouring CVEs are about local privilege escalation, not being appropriately sandboxed, etc. If you're only running code you trust on machines with iouring enabled then you're fine (give or take "defense in depth").

Is that not accurate?


I'm wondering if the english stopwords are not children of a forgotten declination that was forgotten from the language - ... ok so I had to check this out but I don't really have time to check more than with gemini - apparently - The word "the" is basically the sole survivor of a massive, complex table of declensions. In Old English, you could not just say "the." You had to choose the correct word based on gender, case, and number—exactly like you do in Polish today with ten, ta, to, tego, temu, tej, etc.

The Old English "The" (Definite Article) Case Masculine (Ten) Neuter (To) Feminine (Ta) Plural (Te) Nominative Se Þæt Sēo Þā Accusative Þone Þæt Þā Þā Genitive Þæs Þæs Þære Þāra Dative Þæm Þæm Þære Þæm Instrumental Þy Þy — —

I have read somewhere that polish was actually more precise language to be used with AI - I'm wondering if the idea of shortening words that apparently make no sense are not actually hurting it more - as noticed by the article though.

So I'm to wonder at this point - wouldn't it be worthy of exploring a tenser version of the language that might bridge that gap ? completely exploratory though I don't even know if that might be helpful idea other than being a toy


I like to mock the current meta as being coca cola driven.

We are in that era where most people don't know about software quality enough to have an influence that annihilates the hole market. This makes me think of the lemon market thing ; eg : if people are unable to know what product qualitative or bad - then everything collapses.

Would this also allow to align it furthermore with user's prompt ? notably due to the surprise factor and how it may understand it ?

At this point it's getting ridiculously easy to justify the acquisition of such manufactory - I wonder if there are existing players in other categories (be it hardware or even software) that are considering about trying to get into this field. I mean - I get it that someone like OVH may not have the caps yet to handle something like this - but I wouldn't be surprised if they could find a good company to partner with - same is for pretty much everywhere.

I'm really wondering about hardware as well but today's tech is surprising in it's scale and requirements - I wouldn't be surprised if we could do mid 70's tech as hobbyist today - but further than that...


For anyone somewhat interested in task & scheduling I highly recommend phil-op tutorial on building a kernel - there is a late branch on the github that specifically focus on asynchronous task - I implemented multi-core this week and it high a profound enlightenment on what the f* was actually going on. This is something Claude / Gemini helped me achieve so I didn't require me to spend nights on kernel debugging methodology & documentation ; Best experience I could get on async


You can also buy a car, remove all it's part and do the road on feet. I'm not sure how the car was helpful to move across the roads but hei we have a car.


tbh it's bit boring to get stuck on aesthetic of writing up something. It's a bit nauseous to see how this place is hostile to rust for no reason other than "it's not pretty". It's a joke at this point we could make caricature of HN viewpoint on rust. We get it, you don't like it.


HN is not some monolithic single perspective. There are plenty of Rust fans here, and they show up just as frequently as the complainers. In fact, there is overlap between the two groups. You can be a fan of a tech and still complain about its warts.


Oh come on, how many times have we seen "blazingly fast in Rust", "rewritten in Rust" etc.? Many times. We get it. You like Rust. This "rewrite in Rust" bullshit is just as nauseous and I am sick of seeing it, too. So what? In fact, it is quite a meme now.

Please, every time you see someone praise Rust (every other day), tell them the same as you have told me, just the opposite way around.


We all know how this ends lmao
