Python 3.13 Gets a JIT
It's really cool that Haoran Xu copy-and-patch technique is catching on, I remember discovering it through his blog posts on applying these techniques to his own LuaJIT remake project[0][1] (and I probably found those through a post here). I highly recommend them if you're into that sort of thing, BTW. They're incredible deep dives, but he uses the details-element to keep the metaphorical descents into Mariana Trench optional so it doesn't get too overwhelming.
I even had the privilege of congratulating him the 1000th star of the GH repo[2], where he reassured me and others that he's still working on it despite the long pause after the last blog post, and that this mainly has to do with behind-the-scenes rewrites that make no sense to publish in part.

Building the fastest Lua interpreter.. automatically
This seems like an awesome way of writing faster interpreters – i.e. not in assembly, but in C++ snippets you stitch together with a tool.
I did peek at the deegen tool a bit, and it seems quite large? https://github.com/luajit-remake/luajit-remake/tree/master/d...
I would be interested in an overview of all the analysis it has to do, which as I understand is basically “automated Mike Pall”
FWIW I think this is the hand-written equivalent with LuaJIT’s dynasm tool: https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/blob/v2.1/src/vm_x64.dasc (just under 5000 lines)
Also there are several of these files with no apparent sharing, as you would get with deegen:
https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/blob/v2.1/src/vm_x86.dasc
https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/blob/v2.1/src/vm_ppc.dasc

Show HN: Hacker Search – A semantic search engine for Hacker News
yeah there are only three stories coming up from the site search
https://hn.algolia.com/?q=postgres+clustering
only one is semanthically correct, the other pick up the wrong version of clustering (i.e. k-means instead of multi master writes)
but yeah if one doesn't test the hard cases, how does one know it preserves semantics :D

Tesla driver arrested for homicide after running over motorcyclist on Autopilot
I'm a huge Tesla skeptic, but Tesla and Musk are lightning rods for tabloid-style garbage that doesn't belong on HN, so it doesn't surprise me that we often see negative Tesla content flagged to death. Meanwhile we also see plenty of content that hits the front page and stays there [0].
Do you have examples of professional, interesting Tesla content that got flagged?

The Man Who Killed Google Search
It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine.
All I want to do is search.
No AI.
No ads.
No shopping.
Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks.
I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it.
Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1] and t-shirts.
Amazingly, in 2024, there is still a market opportunity for a good search engine.
It can't really just be me, can it?
