โจ Check out this trending post from Hacker News ๐ ๐ **Category**: ๐ **What Youโll Learn**: Rust rewrite of FFmpeg, verified against FFmpeg's output bit-for-bit. This codebase is AI-generated. Written by Claude (Anthropic) via Claude Code, directed and reviewed by a human. The AI reads FFmpeg's C source and reimplements it in Rust. Every conformance claim below is verified by automated CI on every commit, comparing to FFmpeg's output. The intention of this project is to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI rewriting codebases in Rust. It provides no additional features compared to FFmpeg, and despite incorporating…
๐ฅ Check out this trending post from Hacker News ๐ ๐ **Category**: ๐ก **What Youโll Learn**: Longtime Linux developer David Woodhouse sent out a patch series today to "deprecate legacy IP" support within the Linux kernel. While some of his commentary his April 1st-esque, he does acknowledge much of this work has merit. Ultimately it can allow for building a Linux kernel with IPv6-only support and working on allowing "legacy" IPv4 support to be disabled as part of the kernel build. The set of six patches add a CONFIG_LEGACY_IP option to allow toggling IPv4 support for the kernel build. At…

**What Youโll Learn**: American taxpayers could be forgiven if recent events have left them wondering why the largest and most expensive Navy in the world is sitting well outside the Strait of Hormuz, watching powerlessly as the Iranians decide which ships they will allow to transit the waterway. After all, they must wonder, why canโt the Navy simply blast the Iranians away and re-open the strait, sending life and the global economy back to normal?Alas, the days of omnipotent U.S. sea power as a power projection instrument close…

๐ฅ Discover this awesome post from Hacker News ๐ ๐ **Category**: ๐ **What Youโll Learn**: A couple of years ago, "slop" became the popular shorthand for unwanted, mindlessly generated AI content flooding the internet including images, text, and spam. Simon Willison helped popularize the term, though it had been circulating in engineering communities in the years prior. At Greptile, we spend a lot of time thinking about questions like: Is slop the future? Are programming best practices now a thing of the past? Will there be any reason at all for AI coding tools to write what we call good…
