This is a worrying trend on HN. Nearly for all submissions, there is one unquantified, unproven comment at the top saying it's AI, with just emotion and no proof. This is the new witch hunt, or karma farming without having to contribute anything positive to the discussion.

I have a feeling now JXL is here to stay, finally.

Exactly 48 hours (before and on the day of election), banning electoral advertising is the right thing, gives voters the mental space to make up their own decision. It's the silence period.

Add much as I hate the lead up to elections, I love the day before and on, where it becomes purely personal.

There are only 6 categories in the site, but a category entirely created out of thin air for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next?

Literally "$0.23 to under $0.24" means EXACTLY $0.23.

When the author wrote Llm can be as cheap as a tool, I read it as not equivalent. They even said the Llm can be embedded into a tool.

Their point was, the higher level use case — like classification — could become as cheap as grep. Which is quite well possible.

Edit: typo

This seems really naive? That's the only flow that's at the basis if you get locked out. What else, do you put people on the phone to verify people by asking their name and date of birth? That's even worse!

Why you missed the last line of my answer? How did you get an impression to go back to broken passwords?

As a service provider myself, I've evaluated and said "Nah" to passkeys - because it's simply increased Customer Service contacts I have to invest in, whenever a user changes or loses devices, or any of the hundreds of ways Passkeys are not portable.

And guess what, the Tech companies pushing this have zero liability for user login support or security breaches. It's always me. There is no need for me to work hard and spend CS contacts, to wall off my users to the OS or Browser vendor.

I'll simply do passwordless Email or SMS 2FA / Magic Links and own my users without the overhead of Customer contacts, thank you.

These are two different things.

Note: am not an AI fanatic.

1. Bill Gates is doing the "Internal Disruptor" CEO style

2. Everyone is reacting in a way Bill Gates expects them to react

3. The results of his disruptor style is that Windows is absolutely further unbearable and horrendous, as seen today own the line.

Make no mistake: "Internal Disruptor" CEOs kill their own products and people from the inside, rather than competing or building good products outside.

It's only going back. Raw urban human connections will be the only thing left to exercise.

Any active product or business development - builds product/domain/operational depth. That depth feeds back into every decision.

Without taking into account that depth, complexity, competence of Managers and Employees in that depth, headcount invested into automation, etc, just focusing unidimensionally on some behavioral or organizational methodology, IMHO, makes it worse.

It gives CxOs some cute stories to blame someone or something against. If your coordination is slow, then there is a reason behind it. Find it.

Before this post, we have issues with different, slower DNS resolution in musl.

In 2026, there in no reason other than self-inflicted compatibility and performance pain to use musl in production services.

It has it's place, for binary cross-OS distribution, and generally having an alternate C STL. But avoid for SaaS.

Sadly, it's often too late. Looks to be the case here, appears clearly a diagnosis delay. It does not take much for a skilled system to connect "airport worker" and the right lab readings together.

I can't imagine what these people would have gone through. They would have been given the "just a flu" treatment for some days, and then waited many more days for appointments. RIP.

PS: What you've said is pretty eye opening! This would amplify a lot of the diagnosis problems.

This is not enough for companies to invest heavily in.

JXL is broad use/ universal. High bit depth, wide gamut, different color spaces — from HDR displays, to web, to print to medical photography and so on. It would help the device that your viewing this on, right now.

It's not like WebP where the only focus is to reduce file size. The fact that it does this also, and also recompresses jpegs lossless, is just an addon, not a singular reason.

If you get a chance, ignore all the file size noise, and look at JXL for what it is and how it's being adopted by different industries.
