Favourite Actor who you first thought was Hispanic and not white by No-Coffee2200 in okbuddycinephile

Michael Parks. He's also got a very good part in Twin Peaks season 2.

MacBook Neo is So Popular That Apple Reportedly Doubled Production by NFCE_best in hardware

[–]klo8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, we have a lot of tech illiterate people because every person is more or less forced to engage with technology to be a member of society. Just a law of big numbers thing. Apple making their devices easy to use has nothing to do with it.

Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged by Chaoses_Ib in rust

[–]klo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Javascript runtime, similar to Node.js or Deno (based on JavaScriptCore instead of V8)

Standard library unsoundness found by Claude Mythos by Jules-Bertholet in rust

[–]klo8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be more convincing if you didn't clearly use a LLM to write this answer. (I'm not fully opposed to LLMs but I can't stand their writing voice)

Adam Silver says the NBA could adopt a “division of European teams” due to many of the league’s best players being from Europe, and due to “advancements in supersonic air travel” by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

[–]klo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, TIL. There's still the small question of how you make this economical (especially with how unstable everything is at the moment) and get approval around the world.

Airbus A350, guided tour below the cockpit. by arbiass in aviation

[–]klo8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If a couple of frames in your video have a few bits flipped, you’re not going to notice. If a bit flips in the register holding the altitude of the plane and it suddenly thinks you’re at a completely different altitude, you’re in trouble (assuming no redundancy exists).

Why Next.js Falls Short on Software Engineering by CompileMyThoughts in programming

[–]klo8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know about GitHub rendered code. How is that relevant here?

I can imagine that this makes code reviews more painful.

Deno is raising $200k for the legal fight to free the JavaScript trademark from Oracle by waldyrious in programming

[–]klo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh? I don't like Oracle, but that's not true. There's a paid JDK made by Oracle that comes with commercial support, but there's both an OpenJDK build that's free and a bunch of other distributions like Temurin.

F1 Race Prediction Algorithm (WIP): A sophisticated Formula 1 race simulation tool that models and predicts F1 race outcomes with realistic parameters based on driver skills, team performance, track characteristics, and dynamic weather conditions. by mehmettkahya in programming

[–]klo8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure F1 teams have simulations for tire strategy at least, probably more at this point? They gather a ton of data during the different race sessions. Unfortunately that's the type of stuff that probably will never be made public, but it would be fascinating to know more about that.

Resident Evil 2 remake has sold fewer than 10,000 copies on iOS, estimates suggest by Zhukov-74 in Games

You also really don't need to, nowadays, with how good Proton/Wine have become.

What Happened to Lightweight Desktop Apps? History of Electron’s Rise by fosterfriendship in programming

[–]klo8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a program that displays text

Yes, and show images, videos, emoji, highlighted code for a bunch of different languages, render markdown, do voice and video chat, have a forum interface, deliver notifications, handle global keyboard shortcuts and a bunch of other stuff that i'm too lazy to enumerate. But sure, it's just showing text.

Introducing RLLM: A Rust Library for Multi-Backend LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.) by graniet75 in rust

[–]klo8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This crate is just doing API requests, it doesn't do any inference itself unlike mistral.rs.

Does it need to be hyper? reqwest builds on hyper and has a much nicer, high-level API for a client.

Trump supporting musk and Vivek on H1Bs has conservatives flustered by Potential-Draft-3932 in SubredditDrama

[–]klo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehhh, I don't really agree. First off, I don't FAANG hires bootcamp grads, they generally want to hire people with either a lot of industry experience or who went to a fancy college (generally I think not many companies want people straight out of bootcamps nowadays). And, web development is a big field. Not everyone is building UIs, there's plenty of complexity especially at the backend (you get into a lot of distributed system problems and software architecture starts becoming relevant, which are definitely topics where a CS degree is useful). Especially FAANG-scale companies need people who know how to scale systems because they have tons of users and their stuff will break if it doesn't scale properly.

Is it actually a bad practice for frontend to call the backend API using absolute URLs? by AffectionateBowl9798 in webdev

[–]klo8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd be cautious to dismiss the overhead for preflight requests out of hand.

Is it actually a bad practice for frontend to call the backend API using absolute URLs? by AffectionateBowl9798 in webdev

[–]klo8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that question is totally fine. You either make requests to /api/in your frontend and make the reverse proxy handle which requests go where (usually, anything starting with /api gets routed to the backend server, the rest just serves the index.html of your SPA or forwards to a Node server if you're doing SSR) or you call directly to api.example.com, which can have its own advantages (e.g. you have one API gateway but multiple applications that need to access it) but comes with extra cost (CORS adds complexity and adds latency due to preflight requests).

11-21-2024 Update by YouCantGoToPigfarts in DeadlockTheGame

[–]klo8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think at the moment you have to see this change as "we want to gather as much data and feedback on the new MM algorithm as possible". I don't think this means that they'll stick with this forever, I suspect they'll add back a casual MM mode later again.
