Solaris inside a Solaris Solaris 2.6 unfolds within Solaris 10, brought to life through SPARC emulation. Two generations of Solaris meet in a study of layered systems and the enduring lineage of UNIX. PROJECT CHRONOS — Digital Archive
Zone inside a Zone Within Solaris 10, BrandZ hosts a CentOS 3.8 Linux environment inside a Solaris zone. Separate worlds occupy a shared system, divided by boundaries yet connected by their underlying architecture. PROJECT CHRONOS — Digital Archive
The Prismatic Sun A glimpse of the web through another layer of computing. Firefox runs inside a Debian virtual machine, hosted by Solaris 10 — a familiar interface seen through an unfamiliar arrangement of systems. Through this refracted view, PROJECT CHRONOS considers how virtualization changes the way we encounter applications and the worlds they reveal. PROJECT CHRONOS — Digital Archive
On a recent trip, while stuck on spotty hotel Wi-Fi and roaming 5G, I got fed up with how much bandwidth commands like rsync and nix-copy-closure waste.rsync's delta transfer compares each file only with the file of the same name on the destination (or, with --fuzzy, a file in the same directory), so renamed, moved and copied files are sent in full.nix-copy-closure can be worse: a rebuilt package gets a new store path, so the whole package is sent again, even when most of its contents haven
As a founder, I've been getting an increasing amount of useless unsolicited outreach, all of which is clearly generated using AI. For some reason, Google's spam filter doesn't flag these emails as spam, so my phone buzzes throughout the day (especially in the morning) when one of these AI-generated messages arrives.I know there are some subscription tools I could use to filter these out, and there are some friction-creating tools I can use to keep them out of my inbox (like the on
Let's ASSUME that the AI boom has, in fact, created an outsized demand for AI-literate SWE's who can understand and ship custom solutions from within client's organizations.Are you a glorified consultant? Why or why not?Does your position deployed, um, forward, give you unique visibility or access which results in you building something you could not have built as a [insert the opposite of forward deployed engineer here]?Is your value to the organization hiring you mainly service-
In 2014 I wrote a tutorial on how to write an efficient matrix multiplication that can achieve near peak performance. This is actually not achieved by some Strassen algorithm variant. It's achieved through a cache friendly algorithm (exploiting the cache hierarchy) and SIMD register instructions.The tutorial showed how to achieve that step by step. Beginning with a naive implementation using three loops. Then using buffers to first cache matrix blocks and then performing the matrix product

Hi HN, we're Ahnaf and Seungmin from Simantic (https://simantic.com). We are building the simulation layer that lets engineers and AI agents test and validate firmware without hardware.Before Simantic, we were ex-firmware engineers at companies like Neuralink and Tesla. We’ve worked on some of the coolest projects, like the Cybertruck and Roadster, back when they were still early prototypes.We started working on firmware back when ChatGPT didn’t exist yet, but over the years, we s
Hi,We've been working on this for the last 9 months and are nervcited to share this on HN and gather input.StrictLLM is a desktop application for Mac, Windows, and Linux that will give you the following abilities:- Human-in-the-loop with a strong focus in security and control- Permissions enforced by code rather than a prompt- Being able to talk to multiple AIs in the same conversation thread- You can pull in any personas by @Mentions.- Local and cloud models supported (OpenAI API Compatibl
Sharing a project I've been working on for the last while, MadTracker, a scoring system for track cycling races:Announcement: https://nuxx.net/blog/2026/10/29/madtracker/GitHub w/ Binary Releases: https://github.com/c0nsumer/madtrackerThis was built to replace an Excel-based manual scoring system that worked, but was clunky and required specialized knowledge making it hard to hand off to other volunteers at the local velodrome
