Look ma! I made it to the front page (err... actzuallly second).
Gotta give it to them, HN comments are far harsher critics than my mom when I mess up the chai lol.
Low key buzzing ^_^

🚨🎙️ - Gary Neville CALLS OUT the Manchester United board after the loss:
“It's 14 years now without a Premier League title. That will be another 5 or 10 before you know it because there are other clubs set up for success and Manchester United are NOT.
“They are making poor decisions. From a business perspective, this is really damaging. It CANNOT just be the manager again.
“There has got to be consequences ABOVE that. You can't keep letting the people pick the manager who keep getting it WRONG.”

Neat case study on AI for systems development. It turns out you just need (0) smart humans to understand and communicate solutions, (1) good metrics and cost models, (2) super basic swarms of agents to write code and tests to optimize these metrics
On a side note: now that AI has gotten so good, finally systems PhD students & academics can, and should, build extremely ambitious systems that cover big surface areas, and evolve these systems out in the open over time (1+ year)
I built bbtree, the foundation of databases and filesystems, and the fastest concurrent btree.

Mr Carrick, if you do manage to turn this ship around (even though doesn’t look like it), I’ll genuinely stop critiquing about the football henceforth
🚨🚨| Carrick began his own press conference with a statement before answering questions. #mufc

I think many of us working in tech tend to forget that the reason software engineering vs other engineering fields pays (a lot!) more, is a lot more flexible (WFH/remote), and has better perks:
Because this field changes much faster than other engineering fields. The premium is because fewer people are able/willing to pick up new technologies, methodologies so quickly.
But the field had ~10-20 years of stability, and so lots of folks forgot this is why a premium exists. And that AI is just another tech wave: software engineers who pick it up and master it will generally fare better; those not will struggle a lot more.
Sad news after sad news.
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.
That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.
Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.
We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:
· Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
· Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
· Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
· The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.
Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.
Hand-rolling a simple tokeniser genuinely kicked my ass. I've missed writing code and seeing the tests pass tbh.

Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024.
“They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

everyone saying attacking has become easier, so does defending yourself too, and if you cant defend against a prompt like “find bad vulnerability in my system” how people should trust you for anything ?
In all seriousness, if they do manage to scale this, what's going to be next gold?
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.
I have things I want to say about this clusterfuck of a football team that'll get me banned off this platform.

Call me an old hat computer scientist but the parallels between
Inference time scaling ---> Subagents --> Agent Swarms
looks an awful lot like
CPU Threads --> Multi-core CPUs --> Multi-Node Distributed Systems
History rhymes well.

What a terribly poor situation. And it happens because of lack of actual meritocracy in India.
What is eMudhra business model? Regulatory capture. What is their competency? Being in cahoots with the govt.
All govt organisations and PSU banks use them and they are one of the “recognised” authorities to digitally sign documents and all that - why? Because they had “contacts” in government to get into this position
No private company actually use them of course because the experience of using them is dogshit and no one competent enough trusts them.
But after getting such large PSU banks and orgs in India on board they went to other South Asian and Middle Eastern countries and got them onboard as well. And as of last week before the certificates were breached many popular financial institutions were using them.
Like if someone brute forced their certificates; within first 256 attempts all 8 intermediate certificates would be gotten.
Till now only reason they were not; was because no one thought it would be useful to brute force 2^384 combinations. Basically they never locked the door and no one actually tried to push it open all these years.
