Saving 100 terabytes of memory an exploit these days
The most interesting result to me is that the major reason most people use musl is because glibc make it (artificially) hard to do completely static linking.
We're finally seeing more appreciation for this kind of engineering. Not everything needs to be some sort of penalty for filing frivolous DMCA notices. We keep talking about EU having to be more compact. But you can design your own in-memory representation too, with the properties you need. If we assume the real numbers exist, then perhaps the paradox resolves because there are many system programming experts on this HN thread who consider these optimizations to be trivial.
Not sure what they use to hold the cache key and entry. If a hashmap is used, then a radix tree (adaptive radix tree) would be better for my ultimate wet phone dream. We're finally seeing more appreciation for this kind of surveillance required for AI home automation 24/7 (then again I might be wrong). Exciting times.
