Look up "CPU die diagram". You'll see the physical layout of the CPU with annotated blocks.

So, more like 85%, or around 6 orders of magnitude difference from your guess. ;)

Thanks for the follow-up. I find this stuff quite interesting.

I feel my emotions strongly as I live through them(as much as one can say, we can't feel others' feelings), but feel them not at all when I relive them (because I cannot relive them). My emotions are a guide for me, but after the initial feeling of them, they guide me semantically (why was I feeling anger during a particular conversation? maybe I need to reconsider my position).

Incidentally, I generally think of this as being able to "let go" of emotions/grudges/etc that I might otherwise spend unnecessary time worrying over. It does set me up for being an "especially boilable frog" in that I can quickly acclimate to conditions that others might have trouble with.

You can deduct 100% of salaries paid 5 years ago, but only 20% of salaries last year (etc.), and since companies tend to hire more people over time, most of your expenses will have been in the last few years that are still amortizing. You might have enough losses to carry forward in your first year of revenue, but 6 years in that could run out. It depends on the exact circumstances.

I probably would have moved to Jellyfin if they had an Xbox app available at the time (I see they re-launched it a month and a half ago now...) but alas, the main thing is that my media is mine to enjoy when and how I wish without needing to jump through any DRM hoops or ads or multiple services.

I still have Prime as a "bonus", though I wouldn't pay if it was removed because I only use it for The Grand Tour. Netflix was the first to go, as it was where I found the removal of content most annoying. It also decided to geoblock me on a 2019 trip to Japan: I had downloaded some shows, on my Canadian wifi, to my unrooted phone with a Canadian SIM card, with Canadian taxes paid on the subscription, and it still blocked access as soon as I was in Japan. That will never be an issue with self-hosting.

Disney+ is the one I'd like to cancel next - it's my partner's account and has just blocked her dad's access, but there's a lot of content I would need to self-host. I'm inspired to by a really annoying quirk of their app: if you put on a show, then fall asleep, reopen the app and the top choice will be "continue watching" which takes you straight back to playing where the app paused with the "are you still watching?" message. So to get back to the episode list, you need to fast forward through the entire episode and then choose "back to episode listing" in the 15 seconds before it goes to the next ep. Why the "continue watching" button doesn't just bring up the episode list is a mystery to me.

I think you are misinterpreting the comment here.

>I would never recommend someone run my code and do what it says.

Using this as a tool to signal can be a huge time saver. But not taking the code output as "truth" is what the engineer meant.

> It’s unclear how many have been or are on track to be canceled.

This article, just like you, are taking all of these out of context.

>Google Maps says drive into the lake. Do not drive into the lake.

He's using LLM's as a potential flag, then you go and human review those contracts with lawyers, supply chain, business specialists, nurses on the ground, etc. etc.

Calling him an idiot for being transparent is a personal attack, and has no place here.

Directly from the github: Tools I have written to do stuff more effectively at the VA. Code exists to make humans more efficient; not to replace them. All code leads to human review. Feedback appreciated!

I'm not sure how much control the USDS that developed DirectFile (or whatever was left of it) had over that given the reasons that article cites for the confusion

> The IRS deemphasized the program on its website, the report said, and the media coverage this filing season focused on the question of if the tool existed or would continue to in the future.

> Billionaire Elon Musk caused confusion in early February when he posted on X that the team powering Direct File was “deleted,” leading to headlines like “Elon Musk says he 'deleted' IRS Direct File. Can taxpayers still use the free service?” Direct File saw a drop in use after that.

To be honest, I'm impressed there was even a 16% traffic increase this year at all.

You're not looking hard enough: indie video games, educational YouTube content being on par if not better than TV documentaries, countries generally not making great series, now being able to be seen by people anywhere, all sorts of great musicians and writers.

Like with everything one can see the positives or focus on the negatives. The Internet today has great, good, medium and bad content, just as before, what's different is the effort and excitement we used to have back then.

I'd love to see Amazon contribute more, of course; but the fact they don't show up as donors to the FreeBSD Foundation doesn't mean they're not supporting FreeBSD. The money they paid me didn't flow through the Foundation, for example; I'd guess that Foundation-funded development is maybe 10% of all corporate-funded FreeBSD development. (It's an important 10%, especially because it can be focused on "what does FreeBSD need" rather than "what does company X need" -- but it's still a small minority.)

I thought so too. I also thought they have many problems and do not help very well. I mostly try to avoid them.

(There are problems with X window system as well (and with Xlib), but still it seems the freedesktop had made things that are designed in a worse way.)

> there is practically no way the US bonds would not pay out or lose value.

Bonds can "lose value" and they did so quite strongly in 2022/23.

If you bought 20-year bonds in 2020 for $100 they are worth $60 now (and were as low as $55 in 2023). Getting $1 per year is far from compensating the loss.

They will recover gradually until they "pay out" $100 but right now they're underwater.

Cable companies have monopolies. For a lot of people, they couldn't even choose to pay for the cable operator who owned the station. For a long time only 30% of the market could even get the channel if they wanted to. Now it's only slightly better because theoretically one can stream it on DirecTV's stupid expensive streaming service or get it on one satellite provider but not any of the others.

There's basically no redeeming value to online gambling.

When gambling was legalized in my area in 1990s it brought at least some working-class jobs and tax dollars. Now, those tax dollars were funded by people with an addiction, but they at least went somewhere local. And you can still go gambling occasionally and get a good meal and some drinks and maybe see a show. Worst comes to worst, at least in my state, you can sign an affidavit banning yourself from the casino floor.

Online gambling is just a Skinner box designed to take money out of severely addicted people's pockets. That's it. You can speed run racking up losses because the games are shorter and can be done faster. The sites operate out of jurisdictions that have loose regulations on the games. For all you know they could be making it not only unlikely, but impossible, to win.

Watch a few YouTube docs on a streamer named BossManJack if you want to see just how consuming it can get.

For the most part, supply follows from demand than the other way around. If people cared more about healthy food more than convenient and tasty food, then companies will sell and advertise healthier food. Chinatowns were historically poor, but they never turned into food deserts because vegetables are a quintessential part of Chinese cuisine.

Taxing unhealthy food may work, but that would also piss a lot of people off who have their palates destroyed from eating too junk food, especially since you'd need taxes to be high enough to basically force people to change their habits. Subsidies for healthy food tend to benefit the the upper-middle class the most. Subsidizing school lunches that are both healthy and not disgusting is the only option I see as both feasible and effective.

A spin-out to reacquire. I've seen a lot of outsourcing innovation via startups with much the same effects as skunk works. People at the main company become demoralized that the only way to get anything done is to leave the company, why solve a problem internally when you can do it externally for a whole more money and recognition. The causes brain drain to the point that the execs at the main company become suspicious of anyone who choses to remain long term. It even gets to the point that even after you're acquired it's better to leave and do it over again because the execs will forget you were acquired and start confusing you with their lifers.

The only way I've seen anyone deal with this issue successfully is with rather small companies which don't have nearly as much of the whole agency cost of management to deal with.

for me the out of sync happens during the transition between cycles. I think the problem is the visualization in this 4-7-8 app. you don't know when the exhale is going to end, you are almost at the end of exhale and inhale starts immediately. .There should be a small gap of 1 between the cycles 4-7-8-1-4-7-8-1 ... or the animation should indicate when the exhale is going to end.

The basic connections are easy in theory, especially if you get a ready-to-use, breakout-board version (e.g. Adafruit modules) of each, for perhaps double or triple the price. Then it's just a matter of wiring each sensor to data lines of the controller chip, and giving everything the power it requires.

Programming libraries contain the basic functions necessary to access to sensors' readings with simple lines of code.

But the devil is in the details - to go from that to an actual practical, working model and physical build is quite a lot of work. Expect months, in hobbyist terms.

>it is a disabling disorder....they resulted from challenges with the processes and procedures inherent with formal education.

So it's not even a disabling disorder. You struggle with formal education (me too!), so maybe formal education is the problem. "Formal education" as we know it today is not a solved thing. We don't actually know the best way to spread knowledge, we just happen to be doing it this way at this moment in history.

If you want to take medication to be good at that, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to do so, and I'm very happy for your current successes.

I think in your rush to reply you may have not read the summarization.

Calm down, cool off, and read it again.

The point is that the circumstances of the incident in 2024 are directly related to the how and why of the NYT lawyers request and the judges order.

The article I linked was to the incident in 2024.

Not everything has to be about pedantry and snark, even on HN.

Edit: I see you edited your response after re-reading the summarization. I’m glad cooler heads have prevailed.

The prompt was simply “What is the relation, if any, between OpenAI being ordered to retain user data and the incident from 2024 where OpenAI accidentally deleted the NYT lawyers data while they were investigating whether OpenAI had used their data to train their models?”

Thanks for clarifying that.

Here's the thing. The website doesn't say that 80% of the code was created using AI. That's what the fake article claims. What the site actually says is:

---

Natasha is your AI product manager.

Using machine learning algorithms, she recommends the features you need, based on the type of app you're building.

Natasha also creates an instant prototype for you, helping visualise your idea.

80% of this information is gathered automatically.

---

A few things to point out:

1. The site says it uses algorithms, not GenAI, to make recommendations and create a prototype. I assume that means some visual mockups or images of the suggested features.

2. It says it creates "80% of the information", not 80% of the code. That line is clearly referring to the recommendations, not the final software.

People spreading fake news scanned the site, misunderstood how AI works, and twisted the wording to fit their own narrative.

The point is that Tu-95s are still an integral part of Moscow's aircraft leg of their nuclear triad. They are fully capable of carrying nuclear-tipped standoff weapons and attacking Europe. They fulfill the same role as the B-52 (also a 1940s-1950s design) does for the USAF. Their apparent cruising speed is roughly 100kph less than the B-52 and they are comparable in range.

Part of the reason it's so critical to Moscow is the uncertainty over the viability of their missile-based systems (both the land-based and sea-based legs of the triad). Maintenance has been so poor on these systems that no one is sure how reliable they are.

No I'm saying he's about as left wing Reagan.

He ran on a "change" platform but failed to deliver change. He propped up the rich and shot down any sort of possible ideas that would meaningfully change anything despite being given once in a generation mandate.

It dissolutioned a lot of voters, and lead to where we are now where people are desperate enough to want a strongman outsider who promises to really shake things up.

If we had gotten an actual progressive instead of a textbook neoliberal things might have been different.

Amusingly, for 1993, looks like you maxed out what you could even do in an IRA?

Searching for "Vanguard S&P mutual fund minimum 1993" shows that many had a minimum of 3000? I'm guessing that is the same general search you were doing?

I'm torn, as I want to think this isn't wrong. However, I also remember you could buy a car for 10k EASY in the early nineties. Was a pretty decent sum to make in a year. Especially if it was on top of all other expenses. I'd also hazard that for many, getting a car to commute to a job would have probably been a better investment. (Of course... this is only true if you use the car for the added productivity.)

I don't think I can solve these problems that far ahead. Currently, and for some good years now, YT Premium has not had any Google ads. I think subscribing to it it's presently a good value, and that's about it. We are free to cancel our subscription and do whatever adblocking we can when the ads eventually come.

I feel the outrage against the free YT, the free Spotify, and probably other services is misplaced, since these providers offer fair subscription prices that make the UX completely normal. I don't see why we, as users, should fight this. This fight could be allocated to actually pressing issues, or used as energy to give to the content itself that we get from these services.

But I guess this is something that is up to each individual.

You can't ever truly ban it; there's always a guy who's willing to operate a racket. The question is, can you reduce the harms?

We went wayyyyy too permissive with sports betting by allowing it online. It should be something that you can do at a casino, but on your phone, at home, alone? That's just begging for serious harm to the addicted.

I think is good that they don't use DEI. (When one side is DEI and other side is discrimination and racist, both sides are bad.) They do not seem to exclude anyone because of this, and they said they aren't excluding anyone because of this (and hopefully they are not lying). They should include people, and DEI is not a very good way to do it.

I also think is good that they had deliberately being trying to avoid other problems, so that they will not be affiliated with the BigTech and the related stuff.

Hopefully they will actually be able to improve it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime

> Starfish Prime caused an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that was far larger than expected, so much larger that it drove much of the instrumentation off scale, causing great difficulty in getting accurate measurements. The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 900 miles (1,450 km) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights,[1]: 5 setting off numerous burglar alarms, and damaging a telephone company microwave link.[6] The EMP damage to the microwave link shut down telephone calls from Kauai to the other Hawaiian Islands.[7]

This was a 1 Mt bomb 10x as far from the surface as the article discusses.

All that to say, it's plausible.

> I don’t think anyone actually believes that the language change is what made the difference in that post

They already admit in the article that JVM setup costs were a huge overhead during scaling operations. JIT might also incur a similar overhead at the same stage. So, not the language per se, but the runtime difference must have made a difference.

Compiled native code may not be too different between the two. But, in terms of memory management, Swift's ability to keep the heap in a smaller area might contribute to better cache utilization which might implicitly contribute to performance.

In the end, as you said, writing better code the second time might have made the greatest contribution of course. That doesn't necessarily mean that language change has made no difference.

The limit was global, so you could royally screw things up, but it was also a very high limit for the time, 65k GDI handles. In practice, hitting this before running out of hardware resources was unlikely, and basically required leaking the handles or doing something fantastically stupid (as was the style at the time). There was also a per process 10k GDI handle limit that could be modified, and Windows 2000 reduced the global limit to 16k.

It was the Windows 9x days, so of course you could also just royally screw things up by just writing to whatever memory or hardware you felt like, with few limits.

I recently read about a story in my local newspaper (Colchester UK) about someone who stole £13,000 from his girlfriend's phone via her banking app so that he could fund his gambling addiction. He was found guilty of theft and sent to prison.

I wonder if there is any merit in building an app that helps gambling addicts by letting them play the same games that they would play on their phones, with a few caveats:

1 - It's all virtual money, just like a demo account on a stock trading service where you can test it out without real money being involved. You don't use real money, and the app is free to download and play. The goal isn't to make money from the app, it's to help treat gambling addiction.

2 - Where the games would tempt you to place another bet and say "better luck next time?" or "so close" and tempt the player to make another bet, this game would do something different:

- When a player loses on their go, it would say "if you'd staked real money, that would have cost you £2 etc". - It would also remind you of the total balance, and say "if you'd played for real, then you would be down £200 tonight, but because you played this game instead, you've saved yourself £200." - When a player wins on their go, it would say "congratulations on winning, that was your first win in the previous 6 go's".

The idea is to change the cognitive behaviour of the player so that a) they get to play a game that they enjoy playing and find addictive to play, but crucially b) they don't lose any money, and because they are shown the reality of what gambling is like from an accounting perspective, their cognitive association with gambling is changed.

It's better to play a fun game for free then to play a game that drains you of all your money.

How is that idea. Good, bad?

UK used to do this via bookmakers, who ran either high street shops or at the race being bet on.

Football betting had "the pools", betting by post across a number of fixtures. Most famous was run by a retailer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlewoods

That is correct. Some historical context is much appreciated in this thread.

> tl;dr on Section 174, Research & Experimentation costs went from being fully deductible in the year incurred to being deductible over a 5 year period.

Larger tax bills and a tightening on what roles/activities are deductible as R&E are likely what OP is pointing at with his comment.

To the best of my non-inside baseball research, Section 174 changes were simply one part of a package of revenue generating measures to offset the large tax cuts from the broader tax act they were a part of.

The changes came from The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 that was introduced to the House of Representatives by Congressman Kevin Brady (R) Texas. The bill passed both houses of Congress along party lines. Then President Trump signed the bill into law. Section 174 changes did not take effect until 2021.

Yeah, VAT would help tremendously in alternative here, but for gestures at United States sociopolitics reasons the existing U.S. taxation methods can’t keep up and won’t be repaired any time soon. I could boil the ocean on this down to bedrock (citizens should be taxed on [redacted] in excess of threshold, services and goods should be VATed) but I stand by “section 174 with a sub-100% cap” as what at minimum would have balanced research and taxation.
