Soooo.. It's like Git but on the intern... Er, with agents? On agents?

It's kinda of a failure it didn't just spit out GCC isn't it?

If I had GCC and was asked for a C compiler I would just provide GCC..


Two completely valid perspectives.

Unless you need a correctly compiled Linux kernel. In that case one gets exhausting real quick.


The perspective that says "a whole compiler in just a few hours" is making false claims. So not a valid perspective.

Off topic but why was contributing to Npgsql a bad experience for you? I've contributed, admittedly minor stuff, to that ecosystem and it was pretty smooth.

Heh, first I've heard of Windows Internals. New friends for The Linux Programming Interface!

Yes, won't be that quite in depth given no source code, but you can easily look up the NT4 source code on GitHub if you want to dive that deep. I would assume much of that code should still be relevant today.

Also worth tracking down a copy of the NT OS/2 Design Workbook on the web (another leak).

And Inside the Windows NT File System by Helen Custer is a very short book but describes the very early state of NTFS capabilities/functions.


You are so behind the curve if you think copilot is mostly rubbish. That's a 4+ month old take.

I just don't use any Microsoft software anymore, thankfully

Has anyone compared to Deepgram Flux yet for realtime?

The market realities don't pan out. Texas has a huge and diversified renewable energy sector. Wind was supplying nearly 45% of energy capacity last night, with solar providing close to 57% during its peak yesterday. Power storage discharge peaked around 13% and it's typically only used to round out capacity in the early morning and evening when peak demand coincides with low solar generation...

And that's in Texas where there is tons of sun and wind. I would imagine markets where wind, and in particular off shore wind, could make a lot more sense compared to attempting 100% solar generation. If I had to wager, maybe where they are building offshore wind generation..


Whether or not these wind farms are economically viable sounds like something for the companies building them to work out.

They are 100% not viable without tax dollars

Neither is petroleum, nuclear, or the highway system. What's your point?

Wind is the worst of all, otherwise the UK would have the cheapest energy in the West, instead of the highest

Electricity prices are set by the marginal producer, which in the UK a lot of the time means gas turbines which are expensive to run. Which mainly means that the renewables plants are making money hand over fist, creating a big push to create more. It's only once that percentage grows enough that the price pressure will go downwards in general. (currently the UK is roughly an even split between gas turbines, nuclear/biomass, and renewables). You can already take advantage of the low price of renewables in some cases, though, if you have a flexible tariff and electricity demand (like a water heater, a house battery, or charging an EV), by drawing when the gas turbines are not necessary to meet demand.


They effectively banned onshore wind for a decade in England just as it became the cheapest source of electricity available to them.

It's neat how right-wing sabotage feeds ino the next cycle of propaganda to support more sabotage.


Or maybe if not for wind their electricity would be even more expensive.

See? Anyone can make kill-shot arguments when there's no data.


There's plenty of data.

Analysis: Wind power has saved UK consumers over £100 billion since 2010 – new study

https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/oct/analysis-wind-power-has-...

The interesting part is that 130 Billion of the savings were in reduced gas prices as it reduced demand, particularly in winter, and freed up gas storage.

And this is depsite an effective ban on constructing onshore wind in England from June 2015, more than half the 2010 to 2023 time period studied.



Not disagreeing but it's crazy 2.8 was going on 7 years ago. That's 1 less year than from the release of HTML to 9/11.

It'd be like saying "Man the internet has been on such an upwards trajectory since HTML" in 2000 ;D
