There's yelling and mess, misplaced keys and discarded eggshells. Apple's typical vibe is clean, simple, orderly; this commercial is chaos. But the spot has parents - those […]

Once this happens, the company said, the models could power themselves within these devices without the need of datacenters.

Existing benchmarks measure solve rate and token output/cost, but don't punish excess code, which makes a codebase harder to work with in the long term. I wanted to measure this since it matters most for long-term projects.

Show HN: go-git2 – libgit2 as pure Go, 10-100x faster than go-git for readshttps://github.com/msuozzo/go-git2

go-git2 is a Go git library (read-only for now) using libgit2 transpiled to Go with wasm2go. As a result, it builds with CGO_ENABLED=0 and cross-compiles without a C toolchain. It supports 64-bit Linux, macOS, and Windows today. While go-git has been great for my uses, its performance on larger repos and quirky differences from the git CLI output have been tricky to work with. I'm a huge fan of wasm2go and go-sqlite3 and wanted to apply the same approach and see what could be done. Incredibly happy with the results thus far, with 10-100x improvements on my real-world use cases. On the django…

Hi HN! PanamaKVM is an experimental miniVM containing the bare minimum components needed to boot an x86 Linux kernel and run an interactive terminal. Its key feature is that it is built on top of Java 25 without using JNI. Instead, it utilizes the Foreign Function & Memory API (FFM). I generally stick to Java LTS versions - having worked with Java 21 for a long time - so I recently decided to check if any new LTS releases had come out. It turns out I was a year late to the party regarding Java 25. While looking through the changelog, I noticed the new FFM for native code and decided to give i…
