New comment by jiehong in "Java's new AOT cache feature is in a rough state"

jiehong — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:34:59 +0000

When AOT came to be, I kinda hoped for GraalVM's solution would make it relatively as-is to open jdk.

Instead, this AOT feature is not very ergonomic to use at all, with too many pitfalls to be of broad use IMO.

New comment by jiehong in "We're releasing the weights of Mistral Large 4"

jiehong — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:30:42 +0000

That's really great! Congratulations to everyone working at Mistral!

Now, perhaps Kimi 3.1 is missing from the benchmarks, and Deepseek 4.1 Flash is still has impressive!

jiehong — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 20:28:16 +0000

Agreed. I find Parakeet or Qwen ASR better.

I’m still sad Voxtral 3 wasn’t made open source by Mistral.

Perhaps we’ll reach a point where humans might have to record themselves writing the things and publish this next to the work itself to prove it was human made.

You just made me realise that latency might be a strong reason why some users might enjoy TUIs more.

I’m also thinking that there might be a universal solution to all animations: user-driven animation end. Like, the system could cut off the animation as soon as the user hits another key, making it faster and learning the right rate of animations over time. That would be great!

List of changes for this calculator [0].

I used to use it quite a bit, but I now gravitate towards numbat instead [1].

Yes, this only works if you can register more than 1 ssh keys on the services you want.

New comment by jiehong in "Show HN: Sayso, free open source dictation for Mac, Windows, and Linux"

jiehong — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 19:29:51 +0000

Nice!

Yet, with so many dictation apps, it makes me wonder how many are honeypots or something.

New comment by jiehong in "Apple's new 'Switch to Safari' campaign details why you should ditch Chrome"

It’s more like devs only test on chrome.

New comment by jiehong in "Once: Cache CLI commands"

jiehong — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 07:36:40 +0000

Maybe the shell or the terminal itself could do that.

Some terminals already allow you to search they buffer after commands have executed, so maybe it’s a small step away from being able to use that as a cache.

New comment by jiehong in "Another step towards Elm 1.0"

jiehong — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 23:20:53 +0000

How I would wish to have no overhead type aliases in Java…

I’m happy to see Elm evolving well like this!

New comment by jiehong in "Mold Linker Version 3.0.0 Release – Rewritten in Rust"

jiehong — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 21:11:42 +0000

Hopefully, someone can do some work on decreasing the requirements needed to build rust itself and ease bootstrapping.

New comment by jiehong in "Billions of triangles redux"

jiehong — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 14:55:49 +0000

We’re triangular plantations really interesting compared to grid? Unless you dealt with triangles of variable sizes (which sounds a pain to manage).

New comment by jiehong in "How to speed up the Rust compiler in September 2026"

jiehong — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 19:11:37 +0000

Contrast this with zig, where compiler performance is so important that it has influenced the language design.

Zig and Go are similar on that front.

Shouldn’t this be part of cargo and enabled by default then ?

Just finished Diaspora by Greg Egan: sort of SF epic.

New comment by jiehong in "One Month Without AI"

jiehong — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 21:27:02 +0000

I wish LSP servers would fill that gap, but they tend to work based on a cursor position.

Otherwise, that’s exactly the tool to help those kind of queries IMO

New comment by jiehong in "We just shipped support for the ugliest part of HTTP: Vary"

jiehong — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 07:48:47 +0000

Is Vary really that ugly?

I’d say that it forces you to maybe parse and understand the headers that vary header.

Accept-Language is supposed to be parsed and matched according to RFC4647 in one of 3 ways. That part is rather complex, but it’s not Vary’s fault.

Would the image be very different for a rotating black hole?

Since they probably all rotate in nature.

Not much about token efficiency ("a bit shorter") or token/s.
