Sadely this search engine is now javascript only. So the "small" web...

If that's an issue, and if you don't mind building something out yourself, Marginalia have an excellent API that you can connect to from your own personal non-Javascript meta-search engine. I did that, and I find Marginalia awesome to deal with. They're one of my favorite internet projects.

(Also, thanks for reminding me that it was time I donated something to the Marginalia project: https://buymeacoffee.com/marginalia.nu )


Are there 'public'/'anonymous' API keys I could use to perform a web search with CURL?

(I guess I would get json formatted search result data)


There is! The API Key is literally "public". But apparently it often gets rate limited, because seemingly every Metasearch engine uses that one. I think there might also be a slightly less rate-limited one for Hacker News users if you search around (I no longer remember what it is since I got my own key in the end.)

You can get your own API key for free by emailing, but that would not be anonymous, I guess.

I don't have curl syntax to hand, but hopefully it's easy to figure out from these documents. I may come back and edit later with curl syntax if I get time:

Couple of things.

1. No. It's not javascript only. https://old-search.marginalia.nu/ is still available. It is also mentioned in https://about.marginalia-search.com/article/redesign/ as gonna be there for a very long time.

2. I don't think just because it uses javascript make it bad. It's a very nice site now. I prefer it better than old version. My website doesn't use JS for any functionality yet. But I've never said never either. The reason hasn't arised that I need to use JS. The day it does, I will use it.

But I understand the sentiment though. I used to be a no js guy before. But I've been softened by the need to use it professionally only to think --- hmmm, not bad.


I do 100% disagree.

web apps are gated by the abominations of whatng cartel web engines, with even worse SDKs, mechanically certainly not 'small' and assurely a definitive nono.

And the 'old' interface, you bet I tried to use it... which is actually gated with javascript... so...


If there is so much performance difference among generic allocators, it means you need semantic optimized allocators (unless performance is actually not that much important in the end).

You are not wrong and this is indeed what zig is trying to push by making all std functions that allocate take a allocator parameter.

Agreed mostly. Going from standard library to something like jemalloc or tcmalloc will give you around 5-10% wins which can be significant, but the difference between those generic allocators seem small. I just made a slab allocator recently for a custom data type and got speedups of 100% over malloc.

Here you go.

One bloat and kludge zealot... those guys are the enshitific*tion/planned obsolescence daemons.

Hello, I cannot tell if this is true or not, since I have not been able to really test the ability of Claude AI to code.

I am looking for a web API I could use with CURL, and limited "public/testing" API keys. Anyone?

I am very interested in Claude code to test its ability to code assembly (x86_64/RISC-V) and to assist the ports of c++ code to plain and simple C (I read something from HN about this which seems to be promising).


Kernel anti-cheats are weaponized by hackers. It is all over HN.

Play games which are beyond that: dota2, cs2 for instance.

On linux, there is a new syscall which allows a process to mmap into itself the pages of another process (I guess ~same effective UID and GID). That is more than enough to give hell to cheats...

But any of that can work only with a permanent and hard working "security" team. If some game devs do not want to do that, they should keep their game offline.


Dudes: IPv6, please, come on, meh.

maybe in another 20 years my local monopoly will consider IPv6 adoption, but I'm not holding my breath

You live in one of those places... sad for you.

In my country: only a few mobile ISPs are not yet native IPv6. The thing now would be to get a fixed IPv6 for mobile internet (which would remove the need of a name->IP "resolver"), but I wonder if the mobile ISPs can handle the quality of "security" this requires. (we all know about enshitific*tion).


Is there a web API I can use with CURL, that with "testing"/"public" API keys?

I wonder which SOC they are using.

The article doesn’t mention the details, it just says:

> Ukraine Defense Drones makes most of its own components, and European suppliers fill most of the gaps.

Anyway I guess they can be STmicro electronics, NXP, Infineon…


I wonder from which foundries they used for those very SOCs.

Those manufacturers have their foundries in Europe, France, Italy, Germany, etc...

Maybe because they are "robust" chips, probably far away from the best silicon process, and when I mean best, I mean 'with the smallest features.'

Yes but you don’t need 2/3nm chip in a drone! STmicro is a global leader in many sectors for example, like automotive chips, probably Ukraine is using those chips.

Do they have RISC-V CPUs, or are they just arm slaves?

I wonder what is the silicon process for the SOC in those drones. Really.

The current hardware used is self-hosting mini-server grade, and certainly not on the latest silicon process. "Slow" is expected.

It is not the ISA, but the implementations and those horrible SDKs which needs to be adjusted for RISC-V (actually any new ISA).

RISC-V needs extremely performant implementations, that on the best silicon process, until then RISC-V _will be_ "slow".

Not to mention, RISC-V is 'standard ISA': assembly writted software is more than appropriate in many cases.


Is this a drone or a transport for delta force hit and run?
