Debugging Rustler on Illumos

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-12 03:42:43

Welcome to SYSTEM•ILLUMINATION! This is the first illumination I have written and the one that prompted me to start this space. This first session tackles several topics as you join me on the journey I took to debug Rustler misbehaving on OmniOS. I'm a beginner with illumos. This page serves a twofold purpose: to help me document and clarify my learnings as I delve into the illumos/Solaris world. And to shine a bit of light into a system that is fairly obscure and hard to get good info on. Howe

Venice’s Iconic Winged Lion Statue Has a Mysterious Origin Story

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-15 09:20:12

One of the most iconic symbols of Venice is the winged lion sculpture that perches atop a column in the Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark’s Square. It’s even depicted on the flag of the Republic of Venice. But while it is known as the Lion of Venice, the statue’s origin story appears to be far murkier than once believed. In a new paper published Thursday in the journal Antiquity, researchers lay out evidence that the bronze statue was made using copper ore from the Lower Yangzi River basin in China

How much would you be willing to pay for Darth Vader’s lightsaber from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi? For at least one lucky fan, the answer was more than $3.65 million. The lightsaber sold for a cool $3,654,000 on Thursday—a record for a Star Wars item sold at auction. It sold as part of the first day lots of Propstore’s Los Angeles Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction and is the only hero lightsaber across the two films “with verifiable screen use ever” to ever come to public a

Tesla Offers ONE TRILLION DOLLAR Pay Package to Elon Musk (If He Can Stay Focused)

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-10-15 13:45:40

Tesla’s board is asking shareholders to sign off on a massive, unprecedented pay package that could turn its CEO, Elon Musk, who is already the world’s richest man, into the first trillionaire. If the plan is approved, Musk would need to reach several performance benchmarks over the next 10 years to get the full payout. The board said in a securities filing on Friday that the pay package’s primary goal is to retain “Mr. Musk to lead Tesla through its next phase of transformational growth.” In

It's been two years since Lenovo released the Legion Go gaming handheld. It was big and heavy, sure, but it also had poor battery life, really loud fans and was saddled with Windows 11.

Valerion launches new premium projector with anti-rainbow effect technology

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Valerion is formally announcing its new premium projector, the VisionMaster Max, at IFA 2025. The boxy little projector offers improved contrast and brightness, but the feature that should be most interesting to home theater aficionados is how it tries to address the "rainbow effect" common in some cheaper projectors. Cheaper DLP projectors sometimes display stuttery strobes of color when the projector's color wheel is forced to quickly shift between col

The Diffusion Dilemma

On the sun-baked plains of the American Midwest in 1892, a revolution was loudly sputtering to life: the tractor, an engine which signaled the end of the era of animal power and the beginning of the age of machine power. This machine was not just a piece of equipment; the tractor was a manifestation of an exponential shift in energy density, from animal metabolism to coal burning, empowered by discoveries in thermodynamics.

Tesla has proposed a new 10-year compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk that could be worth as much as $1 trillion even as the EV maker’s car business stumbles and it sets its sights on humanoid robotics and AI.

When the combined sound wave descends through the ear canal and into the spiral-shaped cochlea, hairs of different lengths resonate to the different pitches, separating the messy signal into buckets of elemental sounds.

Who Owns ‘Telepathy’?

Elon Musk’s neural implant startup Neuralink has been trying to trademark two product names: Telepathy and Telekinesis. Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense.
