This is great for consumers. More options leads to more choices means more competition means lower prices. Which group is it bad for?

The ones who recognize standards as a good thing. ARM making their own CPUs shifts their focus from making a good ISA for people to use to making a good ISA to use in their own CPUs.

Oooof another one. I think i will lock my deps to versions at least 3 months old.

The arm family of chips (apple A series, m series, and qcom snapdragon) are better on energy usage (thus battery life) and performance and design compared to many x86 style chips (intel, amd).

Time will tell if ARMs owncpu is on par or better than Apple’s ARM based chips

I would love to have a use case to learn and write rust today. But i am deep in node and go services for my employer. Previously wrote java and c#. What are people writing in rust today?

I use Rust for command line applications.

I find that CLI is a great way to model problems. When I find myself doing something that has graduated beyond a comfortable amount of PowerShell, Rust is there for me.

I have a template I've been evolving so it's super easy to get started with something new; I just copy the template and slam Copilot with some rough ideas on what I want and it works out.

Just today used it to replace a GitHub stats readme svg generator thing that someone else made that was no longer working properly.

https://github.com/TeamDman/teamy-github-readme-stats

Decomposes the problem very nicely into incrementally achievable steps

1. `fetch <username>` to get info from github into a cache location 2. `generate <username> <output.svg>` to load stats and write an svg 3. `serve` to run a webserver to accept GET requests containing the username to do the above

Means that my stuff always has `--help` and `--version` behaviours too

I'm working on a multisig sign-off solution, with the first use case being file downloads like GitHub releases authentication: https://github.com/asfaload/asfaload

I'm coming from F# and find rust a good compromise: great type safety (though I prefer the F# language) with an even better ecosystem. It can also generate decently sized statically compiled executables, useful for CLI tools, and the library code I wrote should be available to mobile apps (to be developed).

I'm having fun using it to make websites. Rust→WASM works really well. Definitely a very enjoyable way to make web apps. I've been trying to think how I can contribute to the ecosystem, seeing as I enjoy it so much. Rust gives you a control over memory that is impossible to replicate in javascript, and which allows much more performant code

> What are people writing in rust today?

Rewriting existing code for karma points and GitHub stars. Plus some minority actually trying to build something new.

Whatever I used to use Node for, like web servers, I now use Rust. It's pretty nice, with a strong OCaml-like type system which I've used before (better than TypeScript even in some cases), plus it's much faster and more memory efficient such that I can run way more services on my 5 dollar Hetzner box with Dokploy compared to Node or Java or C#.

So cool. Nice to see Walt and Jesse cooking

Great job! I had the same idea when i first played jackbox games 10+ years ago. Yet i never gave it serious thought or effort again.

Thanks! I initially had the idea also 10+ years ago but only got around to do it now.. I think with the web standards having been improved and individual phone performance being much better, it's actually good that I didn't start on the idea right then and there

Love this. I was super scared the first time i was booking travel to Europe with a newish girlfriend.

If you’re doing intentional travel with a significant other you should probably already be at the “pooping with the door open” phase.

Married with baby here—this is not a phase. Baby is the only one comfortable pooping with the door open.

There was definitely a layer of humor intended here, if you didn’t pick up on it.

Maybe not literally pooping with the door open but I can’t say I’d want to travel internationally with someone who I’m not comfortable with normal bodily functions around.

In my long dating years, I've never pooped my bathroom door open. Never even farted next to a girl. Is this disgusting behavior normal to some people?

I had 4yr+ relationships. I am a shy pooper; I can't poop when someone watches me, while I fart or potentially destroy the toilet bowl. And also, there is the smell. Is "giving them full self" going full ape? Not judging, I am just curious, I don't talk about this with my other friends usually. Most guys don't share these weird details; it does not come up.

There was meant to be a layer of humor in my comments…

Maybe not everyone literally poops with the door open with their significant other but I’d personally have a hard time marrying someone who couldn’t exchange farts for a laugh.

I don't have a rigorous study to back my feelings, but I am pretty sure most people actually prefer to avoid their partner's farts and toilet smells.

I think this is a pretty common approach nowadays, and one of the reasons why I believe my job is safe for now. I expect to be called up to fix some of the resulting mess. It's a two-edged sword, for sure.

You still will have to maintain it then though.

Now you have shifted your supply chain issues to your coding agent.

And do you think the severity of the issue is anywhere near the same?

I think this will remain to be seen. Wasn't there a paper linked here on HN recently, that claimed, that even few examples are sufficient, to poison LLMs? (I didn't read that paper, and merely interpreted the meaning of the title.)

I don't think it remains to be seen. I think it's obvious that the completely explicit exploit is going to be more effective.
