For example AMD Athlon. Official announcement June 23 1999, official shipping date August 17, 1999. A week after announcement reservations started at Akihabara https://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/990703/p_cpu.ht... https://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/990703/price.ht...

>"AMD Athlon 500-600MHz (bulk) price display. The product is scheduled to arrive in mid-July, and reservations are being accepted. However, there is no specific arrival schedule for compatible motherboards yet."

>"the K7 revised "Athlon" has been given a price and reservations have also started. The estimated price is 44,800 yen for 500MHz, 69,800 yen for 550MHz, and 89,800 yen for 600MHz."

A week before official AMD shipping date retail Athlons arrive in Japan https://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/990813.html

>"AMD's latest CPU "Athlon" will be sold in Akihabara without waiting for the official release date on the 17th is started. All products on the market are imported products, and 3 models of 500MHz/550MHz/600MHz are on sale.

See also Guesstimate https://getguesstimate.com. Strengths include treating label and data as a unit, a space for examining the reasoning for a result, and the ability to replace an estimated distribution with sample data => you can build a model and then refine it over time. I'm amazed Excel and Google Sheets still haven't incorporated these things, years later.

Oh mb, wasn't sure.

I don't like Singapore's solution; I think it's too authoritarian. Most people agree that there are benefits to a police state in terms of public order but we consciously forsake those in exchange for liberty.

What does nothing for liberty, and also nothing for public order, is allowing open-air drug use. Is failing to prosecute property crime. Is catch-and-release policing because the DA won't do squat. I don't think the common man cares about this due to dehumanization of the poor, it's due to the fact that we are the ones actually victimized by this. Joe average is much less affected by John Wallstreet trading on insider information. His car getting busted into and robbed? Packages getting stolen from his front porch? His wife getting harassed and terrified by drugged-out schizos, while unable to so much as carry a handgun for her own defense? Those victimize the common man and so the common man cares about them.

Saying this is a right-wing impulse is, I think, precisely what put Trump in office. Twice. The democrats were largely subverted by progressives and ceded this monopoly on the idea of public order to the republicans. Why is it such a stretch to say that yes, we believe that the common man should be protected from wage theft or pollution, and also we believe that he should be protected from violent or criminal impulses?

The reality of the situation is that while yes, insider trading or other white-collar crime has an impact on the average American, it's much less tangible. And ultimately, it's less emotionally harmful and poses no risk of violence. Please don't mistake me; we should strongly punish both. But it's responses like this to ordinary people showing up to city hall meetings or political fora and saying, "What about all this crime that's happening to me?" It's these responses, in the vein of, "Why would we care when there are Madoffs to catch?" that turn people away from the left.

The post (currently AND previous to comments being moved here from a different HN thread) links to the official _2024_ (not 2025) statement about NVD cutbacks.

You aren't thinking far along enough in your arguments.

If you abolish IP youtubers will not be able to make money because if I rip someone's monetized video and host my own ad-free copy, people will prefer to watch that and seeing as there is no legal claim over their IP, the youtuber has no recourse to get me to take down the video. There you go, I just divested a youtuber of a potential revenue stream.

This is why people who favor IP argue that it stimulates the creation of creative works. Look, whether we like it or not, everyone needs to earn wages in our system. If you can earn wages solely on creative works, you are empowered to spend more time and energy on those works because they give you a direct return. If the return on creative works becomes effectively zero modulo charity of consumers, you will have way less resources to devote since now you need to spend them making wages in other ways.

I am all for an IP free world, but I think it requires a fundamentally different economic reality from the one we currently have.

It’s because they sexualize their fears. A lot of real fear of the BBC from scrawny white kids there.

Also why cuckolding, and other very embarrassing (for men) fetishes are popular there.

I unironically worry more about the degenerate fetishes that 4chan spreads more than the dumbass political ideologies they purport to have. Americans views of sexuality is so warped and sad because of mind viruses like this.

This is a pretty loaded question. Innocents is something many would disagree with. Anyone who immigrates illegally at any time is guilty. Concentration camp is also a pretty controversial term, and one I would disagree with.

I do not care for Trump's actions, and I don't believe I wrote an explicit defense of them. I will happily defend the overall policy of sending every single illegal back. The recent comments to which y'all are replying aren't addressing Trump's disregard for law, they're addressing your claim that the right has been abusing or weaponizing the justice system.

> Last year the second largest outlay behind social security was the interest payment at a trillion dollars. This is a trillion dollars that cannot be used to provide government services.

This is just very much not the case. The government can always spend to meet obligations unless it chooses not to, whether that's interest on unnecessary bonds or social security benefits. Any restriction on the arbitrary total "debt" is a self-imposed farce and should all stop playing along.

Presenting a problem of tension for dollars is a tool used to justify withholding delivering services people want and need. It's a choice, when really the only scarcity is resources.

I'm glad that works for you. Ultimately I think different people will prefer different ways of working. Often when I'm starting a new project I have lots of boilerplate from previous ones I can bootstrap off of. If it's a new tool I'm unfamiliar with I prefer to stumble through it, otherwise I never fully get my head around it. This tends to not look like insane levels of productivity, but I've always found in the long run time spent scratching my head or writing awkward code over and over again (Rust did this to me a lot in the early days) ends up paying off huge dividends in the long run, especially when it's code I'm on the hook for.

What I've found frustrating about the narrative around these tools; I've watched them from afar with intrigue but ultimately found that method of working just isn't for me. Over the years I've trialed more tools than I can remember and adopted the ones I found useful, while casting aside ones that aren't a great fit. Sometimes I find myself wandering back to them once they're fully baked. Maybe that will be the case here, but is it not valid to say "eh...this isn't it for me"? Am I kidding myself?

> They can work for their living like I do

Unless you have a service industry job or construct material goods, by your own arguments, I see no reason I should pay you either if you work on anything remotely related to intangibles like software.

I'm getting the sense that your perspective is colored more by some personal bias on what art is, what art making entails, and what art is good, rather than any sound logical principles around labor and economics, which is what any reasonable approach to IP should actually be based on.

Will these people be brought to justice? Or is this like wag the dog - where insider trading and other crimes won't get enough 'oxygen' because of the constant barrage of controversial, unconstitutional, inhumane, illegal things and worse being spouted out by the current administration - including deporting those who speak out against the administration - whether they are US citizens or not!

That requires relinking the executable. That is not always desirable or possible. Unless the dynamic linker ignores the segments table in favor of doing this on the fly... Even if that's the case, it won't work for statically linked executables. Only the dynamic linker can assign meaning to section names at runtime and the dynamic linker isn't involved at all in the case of statically linked programs.

Why not recommended? As far as things close to signals go, this is how you implement signals in user land on Windows (along with pause/resume thread). You can even take locks later during the process, as long as you also took them before sending the signal (same exact restrictions as fork actually, but unfortunately atfork hooks are not accessible and often full of fork-unsafe data race and deadlock implementation bugs themselves in my experience with all the popular libc)

Sorry, I'm sure you're both right. I'm just having a very hard time figuring out how to respond to the awful / obscene / insane / absurd nightmare unfolding in this country I love. It's destroying things I care deeply about. My sarcasm was probably the wrong response. I wish I could better approximate the heartfelt, erudite, conflicted brilliance of pieces like this:

Basically when any software/library/whatever has a vulnerability, they have to communicate that out themselves, in some format.

If I'm developing a product built on 20 libraries, it won't just be a matter of scanning CVEs for major vulnerabilities any more, so I'm more likely to miss one.

"always update" doesn't always work, when to manage a product you realistically have to version pin.

Unless something radically changes, we're quite far from creating movies on demand. Most AI video generators cost ~$1-10 per minute. And generally it takes many attempts to generate a few seconds of anything that's not completely trash.

Another issue is quality. Most of these AI generators output quite blurry 720p. If you want proper 4K output, we're at least a couple of doublings away.

I think we will have some decent AI-generated animations next year, because 2D cartoons are relatively easy to upscale.

No part of your comment addresses any "nonsense" or "danger" in the Nature article ( https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00240-9 )

The context was:

> *At least read the Nature one, damn.* ~ @thrance > *I read the article. It's dangerous nonsense.* ~ @ConspiracyFact > *Where's the danger? Where's the nonsense in acknowledging the origins of algebra?* ~ @myself

Do you have _ any _ meaningful critique of the contents of, say, maths historian George Joseph’s book The Crest of the Peacock: Non-European Roots of Mathematics (1991) ?

This appears to be old established material that I read in the ANU library back in the early 1980s.

I wish this hadn't happened.

I wonder what level of compartmentalisation inside DHS means they didn't see this as having sufficient downsides?

I ask this, because I don't think anyone in the subject matter specialist space would have made a strong case "kill it, we don't need this" and I am sure if asked would have made a strong case "CRISSAKE WE NEED THIS DONT TOUCH IT" -But I could believe senior finance would do their own research (tm) and mis-understand what they saw in how other people work with CVE, and who funds it.

These robots don't look conducive to automating the labor specific to factory farming. Overlap with manure cleanup at best, but do factory farms have spacious enough layouts to be compatible with those?

More generally, the egg market in the US has gone from 4% cage-free in 2010 to 39.7% cage-free in 2024. Cows don't have a "non-factory" label but I don't see why one wouldn't be as successful. You also supposedly get more milk per cow the nice way.

The far future will have ever more cows per capita given human fertility trends, so I don't see the preference for quality over quantity regressing, or any sudden need to produce more milk than ever.

20 years ago China looked to be going in the right direction. However things change. If they get rid of their dictator I might again support them - depending of course on how they change.

we should of course support most of europe which usualy has better government. Likewise the other countries in America - both north and south. And so on for anywhere else we can find friends. I an not a Trump fan even if once in a while he does something I support

> important to note: the US's food safety is already really bad. salmonella isn't a thing you have to worry about in first world countries.

There were 65,000 cases of salmonellosis in the EU in the most recent data I could find (2022). Thats a lower per capita rate than the US, but definitely not zero.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but by saying:

>Subdomains are archaic

You presented a bit different argument. Also I disagree - maps.google.com is a fundamentally different service, so why should it share a domain with google.com? The only reason it's not googlemaps.com is because being a subdomain of google.com implies trust.

But I guess it's pretty subjective. Personally I always try to separate services by domain, because it makes sense to me, but maybe had the internet went a different path I would swear path routing makes sense.

> If you've built your value on promising imminent AGI then this sort of thing is purely a distraction, and you wouldn't even be considering it... unless you knew you weren't about to shortly offer AGI.

I’m not a big fan of OpenAI but this seems a little unfair. They have (or at least had) a pretty kick ass product. Great brand value too.

Death-knell? Maybe… but I wouldn’t read into it. I’d be looking more at their key employees leaving. That’s what kills companies.
Show HN: Mathstick – A Classic Matchstick Puzzle Game with a Twist
by trangram | 2025-04-16 03:12:48+00:00
I made a new web-based puzzle game called Mathstick, inspired by the classic matchstick brain teasers.

The rule is simple: move one and only one matchstick to fix the equation. The twist: every puzzle is programmatically generated, with increasing difficulty across 10 levels.

You earn matchsticks by solving puzzles and use them to unlock higher levels. Since puzzles are randomly generated, even replaying earlier levels gives you fresh challenges — a small but fun way to keep exploring.

No downloads, no logins, just play in your browser (desktop or mobile): https://www.trangram.com/games/mathstick

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Europe has better quality of life, America is a dystopian hellscape. “Just”? Better to not and let the tech bros cry about their inability to flip their VC backed pigs onto the greater fool. It’s not innovation, it’s an ecosystem of grifters and unfavorable risk adjusted returns (broadly speaking; there’s always a few diamonds in the dumpster fire).

saying that cow like pasture is you projecting you values on them. People study cows and near as they can tell cows don't care about wide open. Cows are herd animals and if they get plenty of feed in a barn with a few hundred other cows in their herd they are happy.

cows only moo when they are unhappy. I've been in barns with over 1000 cows and they are nearly silent. Cows in the wide open pasture moo all the time because of things they don't like.
Ask HN: Need advice–my mom is ill, dog injured, and I'm home with a baby
by peachykunoichi | 2025-04-16 03:17:20+00:00
Hi everyone, I’m a young mother trying to care for my baby, my mom, and our dog — all at once, during a very difficult time.

My mother recently had spinal surgery and needs long-term rehabilitation, medication, and rest. Around the same time, our dog — whom she loves dearly and calls her "son" — developed another spinal hernia. He already had surgery once, and now he’s dragging his back legs again. He needs an urgent MRI and possibly a second operation.

I can't work right now — my baby needs constant care, and my mom isn’t able to earn anything. We've spent our savings on treatments, and now we’re struggling to cover food and rent.

I’ve never asked for help like this before. It’s uncomfortable. But I’m running out of time and options, so I created a Ko-fi page where kind people can read more or support if they feel like it:

ko-fi.com/peachykunoichi

Even advice or simply sharing the link would help us more than I can say. Thank you for reading, and thank you for this space.

Is there no connection between 2025 funding cuts and previous ones? e.g. If a year of work after the previous cuts resulted in an open-data collaboration between NVD and commercial vendors to share a subset of CC0 vulnerability metadata, could that industry collective now argue for government to share (with companies) the burden of funding an open, decentralized program for CVE tracking? Commercial vendors could still offer additional metadata and analytics, over and above the public baseline.

Edit_1: found a proposed bill, April 2025, https://fedscoop.com/public-private-partnerships-bill-nist-h...

> A bipartisan bill that would establish a nonprofit foundation aimed at boosting private-sector partnerships at the National Institute of Standards and Technology was reintroduced in the House and the Senate.. the proposed foundation structure was described as replicating similar nonprofits that support public-private partnerships at other science agencies.. we encourage a strategy that leverages NIST’s leadership and expertise on standards development, voluntary frameworks, public-private sector collaboration, and international harmonization.. NIST’s funding has been in focus following a budget cut of roughly 12% to $1.46 billion in fiscal year 2024.

Edit_2: is there a shortage of database rows, or people to write a shell script? Why not pre-allocate N CVE IDs for every CNA, while a new plan is worked out? At least one random commercial vendor could foresee the shutdown early enough to reserve CVEs.

> Garrity posted on LinkedIn, “Given the current uncertainty surrounding which services at MITRE or within the CVE Program may be affected, VulnCheck has proactively reserved 1,000 CVEs for 2025,” adding that Vulncheck “will continue to provide CVE assignments to the community in the days and weeks ahead.”

Why? You are holding a belief that works directly against your own self interest.

If it's a principles thing—I'd ask, what is good in this principle? What is the good in someone else taking credit for your work? What is the good in someone else divesting you of wages you could use to live or support further creative acts? What is the good in any of that whatsoever? What real harm is the protection afforded you by the IP causing? If you worry underprivileged people can't access your work, you can give it to them for free as the IP holder. I simply cannot fathom any reasonable abstract position in which not having IP would be good for you. Sure, if you hand over your IP to someone else, I could see wanting IP abolished, but that's on you. Thant's the same as the parent scenario only you actually got a say in the matter at least.

The culture presents such a tempting world view for the type of people who populate HN.

I've transitioned from strongly actually believing that such a thing was possible to strongly believing that we will destroy ourselves with AI long before we get there.

I don't even think it'll be from terminators and nuclear wars and that sort of thing. I think it will come wrapped in a hyper-specific personalized emotional intelligence, tuned to find the chinks in our memetic firewalls just so. It'll sell us supplements and personalized media and politicians and we'll feel enormously emotionally satisfied the whole time.

There's no secure way to do that. You have no guarantee that the computer won't copy your key or keylog your password.

You can mitigate it by using an MFA method that requires confirming on a separate device like a phone, but that's down to one layer of defense.

I use an SSH app on my phone for remote access, and I go over a VPN. SSH is not exposed to the public internet.

How I would hate to see Zuck of all people be displayed as some kind of key figure in resisting fascism. The enabler of ethnic purges, proven criminal, put up on whatever kind of pedestal. And then the silly people forever reminding me of it by saying something along the lines: "But look, he did something with his money! He got us freedom back!" or some other BS. Maybe I should already practice restraint, just in case.
