In Idiocracy, they didn't ask if they're in Idiocracy or not, so no.

Off topic, but it reminds me of another principle: every geographic heatmap is just a population map. https://xkcd.com/1138/

New comment by zahrevsky in "We rewrote our Rust WASM parser in TypeScript and it got faster"

zahrevsky — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 15:23:18 +0000

They even directly conclude at the end of the article that improvements in algorithm are more important than the choice of language:

> Algorithmic complexity improvements dominate language-level optimisations. Going from O(N²) to O(N) in the streaming case had a larger practical impact than switching from WASM to TypeScript.

Yet they still have chosen to put the “Rust rewrite” part in the title. I almost think it's a click bait.

The system could be set up to automatically refund, if your PR wasn't checked for over $AVERAGE_TIME_TO_FIRST_REVIEW$ days. The variable is specific to the project, and even can be recalculated regularly and be parameterized with PR size.

I love how the landing page is straight to the point and has zero marketing BS. It achieves the opposite of AI-written text, while still being polished.

Too bad it doesn't show some scoreboard or stats of other players.

New comment by zahrevsky in "Ask HN: How do you organize apps on home screen?"

I've recently switched to by-color layout. Each screen has all the apps of the same color.

Fun fact: there's A LOT of blue apps, and almost none are purple.

> The contribution of this work lies in its move from critique to measurement. It proposes concrete methods: recursive summarization chains, metaphor stress-tests, resonance surveys, and noise-infused retrieval experiments. These allow researchers to track how meaning erodes over time. By integrating these methods, it outlines a pathway toward fidelity-centered benchmarks that complement existing accuracy metrics.

To me, starting to solve the problem by meticulously measuring it, is a sign of a good solution.

New comment by zahrevsky in "1000 Blank White Cards"

There's another great meta-game similar to this. You can play it alone or with friends. It doesn't require any cards or dices, although can be played with them too.

The rules are simple. You join some group, that is playing a game, rules of which you don't know. Yet, you say to everyone, that you know the rules.

Now, your goal is to play as long as possible, before they figure out, that you actually don't know the rules.

Bonus points, if you convince others that it's THEY, who don't know the rules.
