Why only a half measure

Honest question: are wiki links to any technical topic post worthy now?

I thought everyone in my generation knows of PalmOS but TIL its later known as GarnetOS..

You made it sound like any country that wants nuclear weapons can get them.. just look at Iran. I think existing nuclear weapons club is very interested in keeping membership pretty tight

It would still help to add “in US” to the title

New comment by boguscoder in "Running local models is good now"

boguscoder — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 05:16:52 +0000

Same experience on M4 Max .. but quality of qwen still leaves so much to be desired after getting used to virtually unlimited tokens at work. Many people on this (and similar) thread seem to believe local models would inevitably improve, and I want to believe this too, but I don’t see this ever happening without growing in size

Errr, good bot, bad bot!

Its on gitlab but even there I failed to find sources, documentation/presentations are there though

New comment by boguscoder in "Samsung chip workers will get an average $340k bonus as AI profits soar"

boguscoder — Fri, 22 May 2026 02:44:49 +0000

Any bonus is better than no bonus but averages are deceiving. Maybe VPs would get 10m and line workers 10k ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

New comment by boguscoder in "Cisco workforce reductions"

boguscoder — Thu, 14 May 2026 15:08:43 +0000

The legalese around it is that it’s always contingent on your employment on those futures dates. It’s based on past performance, yes, but it’s not payment for past work (that’s what bonus is for), its incentive to stay longer and contribute to company’s success. When you are out of the door (for whatever reason) company looses need to incentivize you to:(

Alas this happens in all FAANG layoffs too, some lucky people get to received one more vest but nothing close to all unvested RSUs

One of those topics you randomly step into and cant stop reading. Maybe someone could recommend a book that goes along these lines?

New comment by boguscoder in "Profiling.sampling – Statistical Profiler"

boguscoder — Tue, 12 May 2026 14:46:21 +0000

It’s not a downside perhaps but a tradeoff. Implementing internal sampling profiler is not impossible in general (though it will depend on exact python implementation) but it would impose different overhead on the target and might skew results a lot more than external one.

boguscoder — Tue, 12 May 2026 14:38:19 +0000

Even when performance is not critical it’s possible to write (or vibe?) disastrously slow code, so having profiler handy is always a plus. It might be a deciding factor between “we must rewrite it all in Rust” and “oh we added exponential complexity by accident” and save a ton of time

New comment by boguscoder in "Show HN: I made a Clojure-like language in Go, boots in 7ms"

boguscoder — Sun, 10 May 2026 03:34:54 +0000

Micro nit: it says 7ms cold start and then 6ms just few lines lower.. maybe it gets faster as you read README

“Understanding X” with 3-story high equations don’t always go hand in hand
