Memory Safety Is Merely Table Stakes

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-07 02:36:11

The past few years has seen a massive success story for systems programming. Entire categories of bugs that used to plague systems programmers—like use-after-free, data races, and segmentation faults—have begun to completely disappear. The secret to this new reality is a set of systems programming languages chief among them Rust—whose powerful type systems are able to constructively eliminate these kind of bugs; if it compiles, then it’s correct … or at least, will not contain use-after-free or

"Why is the Rust compiler so slow?"

"Why is the Rust compiler so slow?" I spent a month repeatedly building my website in Docker, and now have horrors to share. I've got a problem. My website (the one you're reading right now) is mainly served by a single Rust binary.

There Has Never Been a Better Time to Revisit the Original ‘Gundam’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-10-07 03:10:48

Gundam has spent nearly 50 years reinventing itself across myriad side stories, new universes, and reimaginings of the story that started it all in the events of the “Universal Century” that kicked off in the original 1979 series Mobile Suit Gundam. There are so many ways to get into the franchise, newer starting points, perhaps less intimidating starting points than a 43-episode TV series. But there’s a reason the original Gundam still endures as one of the best, if not the best, entry points a

If you’re working in Big Tech and looking to make an exit, the Army is waiting with open arms. Someone’s gotta build the tech to drop these bombs, after all. Task and Purpose reports that the Army’s Talent arm has launched Detachment 201, an initiative to pull technology professionals into the military’s ranks—the latest in a growing pipeline between Silicon Valley and the U.S. Armed Forces.

These Smart Glasses Are Already Kicking Meta Ray-Bans’ Ass

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-07 03:40:26

Meta clearly has more competition than ever in the world of smart glasses, and that field of competitors isn’t getting any slimmer. The most recent company to join the smart glasses fray is China’s Xiaomi, which just unveiled a pair of frames that, if I’m being totally honest here, puts Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses to shame—at least on paper. The first thing I noticed about Xiaomi’s AI Glasses, which costs around the same price as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses at $280, is that it does something that I’ve be

As rising sea levels gradually swallow the world’s low-lying island nations, many citizens will have no choice but to leave their homes behind. In Tuvalu, one of the world’s most climate-threatened archipelagos, the migration has already begun. Nearly a third of Tuvalu’s roughly 11,000 residents are seeking Australian visas to escape the encroaching waters.

Now that Meta has largely beaten an AI training copyright lawsuit raised by 13 book authors—including comedian Sarah Silverman and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Junot Diaz—the only matter left to settle in that case is whether Meta violated copyright laws by torrenting books used to train Llama models.

Tesla Robotaxi Safety Monitor Forced to Clamber Into Driver's Seat and Take Over, Passenger Says
