Then maybe read again.

"Der Verfassungsschutz belegt Bestrebungen gegen das Demokratieprinzip in der AfD. Auf allen Ebenen der Partei wird demnach die demokratische Nachkriegsentwicklung der Bundesrepublik diffamiert sowie der Staat und die Parteien verunglimpft. „Gewichtigen Teilen der Partei“ geht es „nicht mehr um eine scharfe kritische Auseinandersetzung in der Sache“. Stattdessen soll das Vertrauen in die verfassungsmäßige Ordnung „von Grund auf erschüttert“ werden, damit „die freiheitliche demokratische Grundordnung als Ganzes fragwürdig erscheine“.

Der Verfassungsschutz belegt Bestrebungen gegen das Rechtsstaatsprinzip in der AfD. In der Partei wird demnach die Gewaltenteilung abgelehnt, das staatliche Gewaltmonopol infrage gestellt und sich auf ein vermeintlich legitimes Widerstandsrecht berufen. Einerseits ergeben diese Aussagen laut Gutachten „kein verfestigtes Bild innerhalb der Gesamtpartei“. Andererseits wäre die Verwirklichung der „menschenwürdewidrigen und diskriminierenden Vorstellungen letztlich nicht ohne eine Verletzung des Rechtsstaatsprinzips umsetzbar“."

"Bei einer Kundgebung in Merseburg (ST) am 25. Mai 2020 konstatierte Daniel Wald (MdL, ST), dass im Zuge der Corona-Maßnahmen eine „Gesundheitsdiktatur“ errichtet worden sei, gegen die er zum Widerstand aufrief:

„Die Not unseres Volkes fordert nicht mehr nur Worte, sondern endlich Taten. Wir sind deshalb keine Verschwörungstheoretiker. Im Gegenteil: Wir sind Verschwörer. Wir verschwören uns als Bürger, als echte Opposition, als ganzes Volk gegen den Komplex aus Systemmedien, Gewerkschaften und Altparteienfilz, die sich unseren Staat schon längst zur Beute gemacht haben. Wir, die AfD, stehen dabei an der Spitze des Widerstands, bis in diesem Volk wieder eine Politik gemacht wird, die im Dienste unseres Volkes steht.“"

There are hundreds of statement verifying their goals of a violent takeover. They don't respect any of the democratic institution. They refer positiv to Nazi germany. They are connected to the literal Nazis of today.

That is called preparing for a fascist takeover.

> Newton - predicts that most advances are made by standing on the shoulders of giants

Giants can be wrong, though; so there's a "giants were standing on our shoulders" problem to be solved. The amyloid-beta hypothesis held up Alzheimer's work for decades based on a handful of seemingly-fraudulent-but-never-significantly-challenged results by the giants of the field.

Kuhn's "paradigm shift" model speaks to this. Eventually the dam breaks, but when it does it's generally not by the sudden appearance of new giants but by the gradual erosion of support in the face of years and years of bland experimental work.

See also astronomy right now, where a never-really-satisfying ΛCDM model is finally failing in the face of new data. And it turns out not only from Webb and new instruments! The older stuff never fit too but no one cared.

Continental drift had a similar trajectory, with literally hundreds of years of pretty convincing geology failing to challenge established assumptions until it all finally clicked in the 60's.

My recent experience of Gemini CLI in comparison to Claude code is very negative. For a complex task of trying to migrate some code base from CPU-only to GPU computations Claude was really helpful, and allowed me to conduct a range of experiments and converge towards sensible architecture. In the same time I simply was not able to get anything useful out of Gemini. Some code was written, but it was not tested, was failing or timing out and after repeated prodding Gemini got into loops or internal errors.

In my experience, the majority of negative responses are rooted in fundamental misunderstandings of type systems and expressive power. The vast majority of everyday programmers are pretty much only familiar with Java or TypeScript when it comes to statically typed languages, and it can be hard to get people with that background to understand or appreciate the substantial increase in capability that systems like Rust's provide.

(The issue is further exacerbated, in my opinion, by the prevailing notion that test-driven development is superior to — or at least generally more than adequate for — anything and everything that could be desired. Years ago there was a tense Twitter exchange between Bob Martin [of "Clean Code" note] and Shriram Krishnamurthi [a prominent programming languages researcher and professor at Brown University] on this topic, Martin seemingly unwilling to move past a TDD-oriented worldview at that time.)

The fancy word for assuming O(1) access and not needing to spill over into longer addressing modes is, I believe, "transdichotomous model" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transdichotomous_model

> In computational complexity theory, and more specifically in the analysis of algorithms with integer data, the transdichotomous model is a variation of the random-access machine in which the machine word size is assumed to match the problem size.
Show HN: FounderBox: Prompt → Form company, website, payment, suppliers and SOP
by PrateekJ17 | 2025-10-08 18:08:18+00:00
TLDR Type one sentence describing the business you want to start. FounderBox returns a full “business kit”: your company name, incorporation guidance, website, Stripe checkout, supplier matches, ads, and a basic SOP to operate.

Why we built this

We all know this pain: Starting a small business today means gluing together five consultants, seven subscriptions, and hundreds of small tasks, even though 90% of it has already been automated by AI.

You have lawyers charging $1,200 to file basic paperwork, marketing consultants writing the same “About Us” copy with ChatGPT, and agencies billing $3K to embed a Stripe button. The process feels broken optimized in parts, but still fragmented and overpriced.

We wanted to fix that. We built FounderBox.dev to collapse the entire “consulting chain” into one seamless prompt → company pipeline. Instead of paying for each disconnected step, you get an orchestrated system that does the whole job, end-to-end.

We believe the consulting and services industry law firms, marketing agencies, operations consultants is about to go through its “Napster moment.” AI has automated the heavy lifting, but the industry still charges human-era prices. FounderBox is our attempt to *democratize entrepreneurship* giving anyone, anywhere, the ability to start a business without gatekeepers, invoices, or endless glue work.

Our goal isn’t to replace humans; it’s to *free humans from the admin* and let them build the part that matters the vision.

Early access

We’re currently accepting our *first 500 founders* to test the closed beta. You’ll get full access to the “one-prompt business builder,” early feedback calls, and lifetime founder pricing when we launch publicly.

Join the waitlist: https://founderbox.dev/ We’d love your feedback especially from folks who’ve built legaltech, no-code, or supplier-API products. Are we overshooting or undershooting what “one-prompt company formation” should mean?

There is a lot of jurisprudence regarding whether or not the employer-employee relationship exists, and you can't simply dismiss that with a few words. Obviously the phone company does not employ the handyman, because if the handyman declines to fix your house the phone company is not going to disconnect his phone. But in the case of Uber, Uber absolutely will throw a driver off the platform unless they hew to a strict set of behaviors.

the source file can be any size, a trimmed down version of the source is used for editing the video on the player. Once the changes are applied, the rendering happen on the actual source file. Only files less than 2GB are loaded directly, as Chrome has a 4GB per-tab memory limit.

The bigger challenge is in terms of length, as videos beyond 1 hr needs splitting at right intervals (sometimes split follows a trim down) and later stitching them back as splits could have missing pieces.

Unfortunately, in 95% cases location IS a factor with bigger companies.

I'm in a similar position where I'd like to do something a lot more interesting, but intersection between where the interesting companies have offices and where I'd be willing to live do not really overlap enough justify rooting up my life.

(Unless we're talking about "too good to ignore", that's a different story.)

Oh, that thing. The next step up was the DEC DELNI, the same thing but with about 8 ports. Had one of those sitting under a raised floor.

The main purpose of bridges like that was to overcome the electrical limitations of coax Ethernet. Cable losses, transceiver losses, and length limitations meant that beyond some length, you needed a power booster.

I felt the urge to zoom into the first picture and look at the price tags:

- Battle Toad in Battlemaniac (Battletoads in Battlemaniacs) = 53900 JPY.

- Akumajou Dracula XX (Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss) = 27500 JPY.

- The King of Dragons = 39800 JPY.

Though at the limit, it would have to be at least O(sqrt(n)) thanks to the Bekenstein bound [0]. And of course, as mentioned in TFA, you can always do better if you can get away with local random access in parallel, rather than global random access.

Is it me or it feels like the "empirical argument" is correct (it is an observation after all), but the "theoretical argument" wildly off?

My understanding is that different levels of cache and memory are implemented pretty differently to optimize for density/speed. As in, this scaling is not the result of some natural geometric law, but rather because it was designed this way by the designers for those chips to serve the expected workloads. Some chips, like the mainframe CPUs by IBM have huge caches, which might not follow the same scaling.

I'm no performance expert, but this struck me as odd.

Best TV remote ever made. The peanut remote. So comfortable and easy to hold. Because of its shape you could tell where you were holding it along its length and it could never slip from your hand. You could even tell if you picked it up backwards because it was heaver in the back from the batteries. I used it for at least 20 years and I'll always miss it.

When I see suggestions to "own" your email domain, how do you manage the chicken-egg problem of needing an email address in the first place to register the domain you want to lease?

Are there registrars that let you walk in with a physical ID to proof you are you in case your email gets compromised and they get access to the registrar? Any experience with that?

Vim comes with everything you need.

The journey starts by running the following command:

$ vimutor

in your shell to learn the absolute basics in about 20 minutes, which is largely enough to be able to perform quick edits on config files. If it didn't stick the first time, then try again. If it didn't stick the second time, then don't bother: Vim is not for you and that's 100% OK.

At the end of vimtutor there is a strong hint that there is a lot more to learn. If you are still interested at this point, then run the following command in a Vim session to access the user manual:

:help user-manual

An _active_ reading of chapters 1-12 and 20-32 is pretty much required if you really want Vim to disappear. Skipping this step will make everything worse down the line. It may take something like a month or two if you only do that, and probably a couple more if you do that on the side.

Now, a few recommendations…

Yes, you _need_ to read a lot and experiment a lot if you ever hope to become proficient with Vim. Just like with any "pro" app. It takes time and practice to become a pro at anything. That's life. Luckily, no one is expecting you to be a "pro" vimmer, now or ever, so you can do the learning at your leisure and even drop out if you have to. It's just a weird text editor after all and you still have VSCode.

Each chapter of the user manual builds up on the previous ones so you actually get a very gentle and progression curve. The wording is also very approachable so you don't have to be a CS major to understand it.

Don't go in with the project of replacing your current editor. This would be an absolute waste of time as it would give you false expectations AND a strong incentive to cut corners. Just… look at it. Poke at it. See if you like it and, eventually, dive in. Maybe you will end up replacing VSCode with it. Maybe not. Who cares?

---

As a programer, I have been using Vim as main text editor since 2010. I love it and I'm pretty good at it, active in the community and all, but I also use other editors and IDEs when doing so makes more sense and I'm not here to evangelize the masses. Vim is old and weird and powerful but a) that power comes at a (rather low, IMO) price and b) it won't solve all your problems so don't invest too much, emotionally, into that learning.

Doctorow is one of those older bloggers from the pre-influencer era who realized that they get a lot more eyeballs on their content by leaning into memeing and rage baiting than by sober analysis. At first it was fun but eventually the rigor of his arguments took backseat to his influencer game. What makes him particularly interesting is he's an influencer for the type of person who claims they hate influencers and the modern social media landscape.

I wish he went back to writing cool fiction but I'm guessing that's a lot more effort for a lot less influence. And honestly he's done his bonafides in the fiction world so it's not like he has anything to prove.

(Yes I know he had some fiction out last year but he took a long break. Maybe he's back on the fiction horse?)

Hey I like your approach too but it seems that there are some subtle differences in our approaches

I mean that I take a screen and a esp32 or any microcontroller like raspberry pi and create a modular phone for just enough to boot from a device in my backpack lets say

And what you are saying is to take an already working phone and then running postmarketos on it to then connect to a host

Theoretically... (yes?) Postmarketos is a linux but their support is finnicky from what I know... like it scares me or makes me think I need a really specific phone which might cost a lot of sorts or comparatively more than say my modular approach

Everything else sure, they are the same.

I believe that the microcontroller approach isntead of postmarketos can be better because of more freedom of the amount of Os supported but that isn't that big of a deal

just searched and somebody has created something very similar to my ideal https://hackaday.com/2023/08/03/open-source-cell-phone-based...

just plug in a ssh server from raspberry pi of sorts and a wifi card to connect them of sorts :)

Now If you are wanting to do it, Do you want to contribute together? I will send you a mail after which we can talk on something like signal or feel free to message me on signal and anything else really!

If I can be honest, I want to hack around with my kaechoda 100 which worked with 32 mb... like it never lagged in 32 mb and my 1 gig android stutters and I definitely want to figure out what OS does kaechoda use that its so so fast and actually good-enough as well

Like anyways, I will message ya and if anybody is an expert in embedded, please also contact me if someone else is also interested like you! I genuinely want to make this a reality and write more about it :p

have a nice day and I will send you a mail to your gmail!

I think the government just sees this as a distinction between a revolver and pistol and not a pistol and a machine gun.

Consider the whole FISA system [1].

> (Glenn Greenwald): When it is time for the NSA to obtain Fisa court approval, the agency does not tell the court whose calls and emails it intends to intercept. It instead merely provides the general guidelines which it claims are used by its analysts to determine which individuals they can target, and the Fisa court judge then issues a simple order approving those guidelines. The court endorses a one-paragraph form order stating that the NSA's process "'contains all the required elements' and that the revised NSA, FBI and CIA minimization procedures submitted with the amendment 'are consistent with the requirements of [50 U.S.C. § 1881a(e)] and with the fourth amendment to the Constitution of the United States'". As but one typical example, The Guardian has obtained an August 19, 2010, Fisa court approval from Judge John D. Bates which does nothing more than recite the statutory language in approving the NSA's guidelines. Once the NSA has this court approval, it can then target anyone chosen by their analysts, and can even order telecoms and internet companies to turn over to them the emails, chats and calls of those they target.

>Well, it means that the government will have less available money to spend on other priorities.

That assumes people have to buy solar at any price, but they don't. The money the gov gets from people choosing solar because of the tax credit is extra money that they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. So it's likely they get more money, not less money.

If everyone scrambled to buy all available solar at full price already, then yes, of course nobody should give tax credits. But that's not where we are, tax credits cause an increase in installations.

I am convinced everyone benefits from wealthy homeowners installing solar, not just the homeowners.

Solar panels make electricity cheaper from base principles, despite any political schemes that are employed right now. Once installed, the panels generate electricity for free.

I think that's often overlooked - all talk about subsidies for solar is just for the installations. Once they are done, solar electricity costs nothing.

>No it is not. I used last year's numbers since the 2025 report for reasons, does not include consumer rooftop solar.

You're right, I made a mistake and didn't notice the rooftop category was gone. My bad.

Good for Germany and the EU, but how (or why) is the rule of law supposed to make it a taboo? Is it thrown in just to sound nicer, or did they skip a few steps in the reasoning?

I heard "rule of law" being used to justify roughly the opposite (Russian laws, including mass surveillance and censorship), and neither that was clear; apparently it worked simply as an universal justification.

The usual definition is that there are written laws that apply to everyone equally, as opposed to a rule by decree and some kind of tyranny, and the laws do not change too often, are not made for particular occasions (so they do not turn into decrees effectively). So I'd think "suspicionless" -- that is, universal -- sounds closer to it, rather than selective/arbitrary surveillance on a suspicion. Unless such suspicion is at least decided by a court, without rubber-stamping.

In some cases (many, actually), you have to sign a contract to get your severance, and there's often a "non-disparagement" clause in there.

I also feel that it's just good common sense, too. Even if we are incandescent with rage, it's usually considered "unprofessional" to descend into name-calling. If others see us as "unprofessional," that can have negative impacts on our careers. It's usually just safer to be noncommittal. Doesn't cost anything, and likely saves a lot of heartache.

I'm fairly saddened at the reactions to this post. It did not prescribe anything that would really cause any harm, and is a basic "everyone knows this" aspect of relationship-building; done so, for centuries.

> [Flatpak, Podman?]: This is on our to-do list, but it'll take some effort because Flatpak is pretty isolated from the rest of the system and apps, so we'd have to find a way to expose installed apps, the Docker binary, and the Docker socket, and many other utilities

Vinegar wraps WINE in a Flatpak.

The vscode flatpak works with podman-remote packaged at a flatpak too; or you can call `host-spawn` or `flatpak-spawn` like there's no container/flatpak boundary there.

Nested rootless containers do work somehow; presumably with nested /etc/subuids for each container?

Distrobox passes a number of flags necessary to run GUI apps in rootless containers with Podman. Unfortunately the $XAUTHORITY path varies with each login on modern systemd distros.

To some extent I agree, but if the modem is off how long latency is acceptable for inbound messages? I suppose a low bandwidth broadcast "user 0x76abc937* has a new message" could work. Devices would filter out broadcasts that don't concern them.

Ya, I didn't even know marp existed before i started working on it. But Deckless has its own opinionated way of rendering markdown, but the basic principles are the same... just turn markdown into something presentable. Maybe I can incorporate marp's custom markdown design hints such as background properties etc in the future? But it's really just meant to do everything out of the box without any customization besides your markdown.

Also main difference is that it's just a web tool so it works with a UI on the browser and supposed to be simple to use for anyone.

Alas, it seems to have developed some bugs in the 4 years since the last commit… when I tried clicking in ‘Edit Mode’ to select a location, nothing happened and I couldn’t continue.

There were two additional fire-related chats cited in TFA:

> Mr Rinderknecht also asked ChatGPT: "Are you at fault if a fire is lift [sic] because of your cigarettes?" Investigators said the suspect wanted to "preserve evidence of himself trying to assist in the suppression of the fire". "He wanted to create evidence regarding a more innocent explanation for the cause of the fire," the indictment said.

> A month before allegedly setting the fire, Mr Rinderknecht allegedly inputted a prompt to ChatGPT that included the text: "I literally burnt the Bible that I had. It felt amazing. I felt so liberated."
