Working on a Programming Language in the Age of LLMs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-29 23:12:30

I’ve been working on Rye since 2018. It’s a project of joy — but also because I believe there is a potential to create something of value to others, eventually. Even people living under a rock know we’ve entered the age of LLMs. I don’t jump to ships too soon, but eventually, even I had to admit: code can get generated from prompts. And in many situations — with a smart prompter — the results are quite OK. Even if you disagree, genie can’t be put back in the bottle. Technical progress generall

Samsung killed its classic DeX mode in One UI 8, but there’s a good reason

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-03 08:42:55

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung killed its “classic” DeX in One UI 8, replacing it with a new version built on top of Google’s native Desktop Mode in Android. This move aligns DeX with Google’s broader effort to improve Android’s desktop capabilities, which should benefit DeX in the long run. However, the new DeX is currently a downgrade for users, as it lacks many quality-of-life features that were present in the classic version. Samsung DeX is one of the best features of O

PSA: SQLite WAL checksums fail silently and may lose data

PSA: SQLite WAL checksums fail silently and may lose data This is a follow-up post to my PSA: SQLite does not do checksums and PSA: Most databases do not do checksums by default. In the previous posts I mentioned that SQLite does not do checksums by default, but it has checksums in WAL mode. However, on checksum errors, instead of raising error, it drops all the subsequent frames. Even if they are not corrupt. This is not a bug; it’s intentional. SQLite WAL SQLite introduced WAL in 2010.

Looks like Galaxy S26 Ultra will be upgraded on all fronts but one

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A fresh Galaxy S26 leak has revealed details about the Snapdragon chip powering it. A prominent leaker notes that Samsung will source the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chips from TSMC instead of using the ones it is rumored to manufacture itself. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is also rumored to be slimmer and have a bigger display than the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Galaxy S26 Ultra charging speed leaks: A big jump (for Samsung)

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get 60W wired charging speeds. Two other leakers claim that the phone will actually get 65W charging. Either option would be a significant upgrade over previous Samsung Ultra phones, which topped out at 45W.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 Review: A Promising Update

It's hard not to like Samsung’s latest folding phones. Now in their seventh generation, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 have reached a level of hardware refinement near perfection for their respective categories. That might sound like something I've been saying for the last several years—after all, every new Fold and Flip has made small tweaks to make them better than their predecessors—but the changes from 2024 feel more drastic.

That means Samsung’s Ultra phone will have the same battery capacity for the seventh time. We’ve seen many flagship Android phones with huge batteries this year, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra retains a 5,000mAh battery.

Will AI think like humans? We're not even close - and we're asking the wrong question

Westend61/Getty Images Artificial intelligence may have impressive inferencing powers, but don't count on it to have anything close to human reasoning powers anytime soon. The march to so-called artificial general intelligence (AGI), or AI capable of applying reasoning through changing tasks or environments in the same manner as humans, is still a long way off.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge rumor teases the best of both worlds

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The next Galaxy Edge phone is rumored to be even thinner than its predecessor. The rumor also suggests that the device may have a larger battery. To achieve this feat, Samsung may use “new battery material technology.” The Galaxy S25 Edge stands out from the rest of the Galaxy S25 line due to its slim and light design. However, to achieve this slender frame, Samsung had to make a number of sacrifices, which may have played a hand in its poor sales number
