You should post it as a top level comment, I finally understood the situation exactly here.

Cowsup is mostly correct, but GNR didn't snap up subdomains, they owned .name originally with the explicit intention of providing domains by name and initially did not accept second-level registrations. Verisign owns all of .name and will simply stop accepting or serving third-level registrations.

Since having my HN account I always read LWN articles shared here, but this has convinced me to finally subscribe !

What does the malloc or hardware do if for some reason your program needs to access memory addresses that overlap your tag bytes ?

I know that it's a really improbable scenario and the OS would also just refuse you allocations at some point, but what would the malloc implementation and the MTE do in such a case ? Fail the allocation ? trap when reading the pointer since it would point to the "wrong place" ?

If you mean the memory that stores the actual tags associated with each 16-byte chunk of memory, that's a separate region that should be inaccessible except for using the special instructions for reading/writing tags.

I agree that "author cares" and "author doesn't care" is a very important distinction.

But to me vibe coded is about reading/editing the code. If all your code modifications are by prompt, it is vibe coded by definition.

Yeah, not the one you are responding to, but I wouldn't define it as from scratch.

Personally, "know how to code" is basically having the logic an reasoning skills to read and understand and apply documentation for whatever subject you need for this job.

If you have never written a web app in your life, but you can follow next.js tutorials and customize them beyond the tutorials afterwards, then you're at the point where the only thing you need is more time or more docs based on what you need to do at work.

You hit the nail on the head friend :)

That's why the eu AI act makes every person affected by an AI decision in most relevant industries entitled to a human explanation.

I want to set up something like this, but I would rather use something integrated with Home Assistant

I think Home Assistant is powerful for device control. HomeOS is more focused on family coordination (tasks, shopping, notes, schedules) rather than smart home automation (although my vision is to add device controls too). But the main reason I built from scratch is the flexibility so that I can shape it exactly how my family wants it. We changed the entire theme to a warm colour palette because my family preferred it, added prayer times because we needed them, and built the UI specifically for a kitchen touchscreen. That kind of control/flexibility is hard to get when you're working within someone else's platform.

I have been using it for a couple of years. Not always using all the features but it is at least a good carddav server to synchronize your contacts and auto add birthday reminders to your calendar via caldav as well.

So, simply a *centralized* database?

Like a plain old database ?

"NFT without the Blockchain" is a weird thing to say

In fairness, nothing about the initials "non fungible token" ever really required a blockchain.

Though I suppose the only things which I'm aware of which actually benefit from a blockchain was version control systems like git.

(I heard there's some cases where self-executing contractual obligations are a money saver versus proving you're not engaged in unlawful collusion with the counterparty, but as this didn't come from a lawyer I don't even know if that was true).

Personally, I only have success with coding agents if it's for filling in some design I already engineered and half-implemented (like added interfaces and method declarations for example)

I feel like this is the best way to condition the agent, I don't have much success trying to do it via the prompt only
