There is a german idiom "Totgesagte leben länger" (the ones assumed dead, live longer).

Just because a business might be unsound, doesn't necessarily mean it will imminently collapse.

There is a lot of money going around right now and at its core Cerebras is a hardware company and their core innovation is in hardware.

At its core Cerebras is a hardware company. If they would have been able to just sell hardware that would be great, but for now I think the available speedups are not really worth it to most people to reengineer their software to fit the computation model outside of a few niche problems and TCO is pretty high.

But given the amount of resources being poured into AI right now, a lot of these tradeoffs don't seem so far out anymore. The main open question I guess is whether their architecture will be a good fit for whatever requirements come in the future (think continuous training and RL stuff). Their architecture is sufficiently different, so there might be some valid reasoning to hedge your bets.

I like how the FAQ doesn't really actually answer the questions (feels like AI slop but giving benefit of the doubt), so I will answer on their behalf, without even reading the paper:

Am I impacted by this vulnerability?

For all intents and purposes, no.

Battering RAM needs physical access; is this a realistic attack vector?

For all intents and purposes, no.

Oh nice! Axion C4A and Graviton4 use the same core (Neoverse V2), so the performance difference is due to factors like clock speed and power management.

I used a geometric mean to calculate the top-line "86 GB/s" for NEON pack/unpack; so that's 91 GB/s for the C4A repro. Probably going to leave the title unmodified.
Show HN: Fast Masked Mail Creator – Chrome Extension for Fastmail Masked Emails
by tmarice | 2025-10-06 09:54:13+00:00
Hi HN, I'm heavy user of Fastmail's masked email feature, but since I don't use 1Password or Bitwarden, I find it cumbersome to create masked mails by going to the Fastmail settings page every time I need one.

To streamline this process, I developed a tiny Chrome extension that allows you to create a new masked email through the context menu with just one click, and autofill the email form field.

It’s a simple privacy-friendly tool - no telemetry, no servers, no tracking - and is open source on Github: https://github.com/tmarice/fast_masked_mail_creator/

I’d love feedback — especially from others who use masked emails daily or have multi-account Fastmail setups.

I played the Parker Fly at Fishman Transducers before it came out, when I was a kid.

I was actually working there, not for Ken but for Larry Fishman. I should never have been: I was too young and inexperienced and had no idea the responsibility I was taking on, or how underpaid I was for that responsibility. For a brief time I was shipping, receiving, inventory and stockroom. It near killed me and when they let me go I could only agree, I had no more to give and was totally burned out. I can still see the general manager, though I don't remember his name now.

I was trying to make guitars myself at the time, along very different lines, and when I played Ken Parker's new creation, I had enough sense to not recoil and show how much I just didn't click with it, but I still made Larry Fishman real mad and Ken alarmed and unhappy. Turns out Ken knew better than I did that there were people who'd understand what he'd invented: among them, Adrian Belew.

I ended up doing Ken-like stuff in my own field: I hope he learned that secret, that if you're doing anything really original you can only measure it by how intensely it affects people, both positively and negatively. I'd love to hear one of his archtops, and I have no idea whether I'd love or hate it, but I feel certain I'd immediately react in some way, and that's the highest compliment.

> The set ℕ is the set of positive integers, not including 0.

Hell yeah!

I've agonised over this quite a lot over the decades. Not including 0 is more intuitive, but including 0 is more convenient. Of course, both approaches are correct. My main reason for not including 0 is that I hate seeing sequences numbered starting with 0.

I tried both and they're mostly useless for what I do (Rust, computer graphics). But so is Sonnet 4.5.

Best "Opus replacement" so far is using Codex for doing the thinking and writing the code which Sonnet 4.5 then goes over to make it actually compile ...

But that also means I now need to manually coordinate two models/agentic tools whereas before this was all mostly running automatic and all I did was specs, code reviews/write tests.

What this now comes down to, 10 USD/h for Opus 4.1 (20h of Opus/month @ 200 USD) is not worth it for me.

It seems https://jules.google.com/ is currently free? Has anyone tried this?

This is why you reply with this: https://nohello.net/en/

It's purely a cultural thing, people from some cultures find it rude to get to the point, so they need to have this "hi, how are you" -preamble every time, even if the other person is on a completely different timezone, which makes every chat take 2 days.

It could have.

But

replacing a UPS is usually done to right time pressures. the problem is, you can rarely de-energise UPS batteries before replacing them, you just need to be really careful when you do it.

Depending on the UPS, Bus bars can be a mother fucker to get on, and of they touch energised they tend to weld together.

With lead acid, its pretty bad (think molten metal and lots of acidic, toxic and explosive gas, with lithium, its just fire. lots of fire that is really really hard to put out.

These are optional adult filters that you can unblock. I have phones on O2 and EE and am able to access archive.org. I believe that you do need to have proven to the ISP that you are over 18. Paying by credit card counts.

The government requires that ISPs provide some opt-out adult filtering, but archive.org being blocked seems like an over-zealous third party moderation list, not government censorship.

They blow them into piles on their own property or collect them in bags and send them to compost.

Not everyone, sure, but this isn't an issue of rakes Vs leaf-blowers and it isn't the problem with two-stroke leaf blowers.

If anything, people with leaf blowers probably put more thought into what they do with their leaves, because they have a bigger volume of them to deal with.

When we bought our house about 7 years ago, the lawn was in terrible shape. I’m not a huge fan of lawns—-I’ve been slowly converting it to a garden—-but my wife likes one. Instead of going chemlawn like many of our neighbors, instead we started planting clover. This horrified my father in law, who spends inordinate amounts of time removing clover and dandelions from his lawn. Anyway, after years of planting clover and the occasional overseeding with grass seed in the fall, our lawn now looks very nice. And it stays nice even during drought (like right now). We also just mulch all the fallen leaves with a mulching blade on our lawnmower. So much easier than picking up the leaves, and you can barely tell that I did not rake them. Admittedly the lawn is not 100% grass, but who cares? This is not a golf course.

> Much more densely than nearby larger cities on the map even

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that your town is way richer than these nearby cities and has a way higher ratio of police to the kind of crime police want to solve hence the "scraping the bottom of the barrel" behavior.

So much of the policing problem is a result of towns with no real problems hiring a bunch of cops to go after little problems and then these bored cops who have nothing to do wind up doing revenue policing or pervasive fishing, acting as an enforcement arm for the petty civil portions of local government, etc, etc.

Like sure, Detroit or some other city with "real crime" might have a big enough department to harbor a rogue drug unit or whatever but at least your average beat cop is well fed enough on "real crime" they don't need to engage in bad behavior to meet quotas.

> The world is what it is. That has nothing to do with the immigration policies in Europe, which are chosen by the governments not imposed on them, and nothing to do with the growing range of issues in Europe.

It does however, have everything to do with centuries of European imperialism. We shaped the world to be the way it is. It didn't happen by accident.

I live in the Netherlands. Moved right next to a cycling path that connects my district with the rest of the city. Big mistake - the sound of mopeds is unbearable. On top of that, there are kids who enjoy revving their engines. The sound drives me mad, but for reasons out of scope of this comment I can't move out. Fortunately, the city scheduled a ban on combustion engine mopeds. The problem is that it'll take a few years for the ban to come into force.

Funnily, previously I lived next to a railway and also under fly path of airplanes and these sounds never bothered me. It's the tiny combustion engines that make high-pitched noises that are the worst.

They bet on GP and acquisitions would increase their hw units sold and it did not happen. They can't really afford to subsidize day and date games from all their studios at the previous price anymore. And this is why they are now also releasing the games on the other consoles too. They just became the biggest 3rd party publisher, Xbox is not the focus going forward imo.

On drones: there is no evidence of that. The supposed "drone ship" that was siezed by France turned out to be crewed by Chinese and had no drones or weapons on board. A Croatian citizen were arrested regarding the drone near Frankfurt airport. Three Germans were arrested regarding the drones near Oslo.

Consider what Russia could possibly have to gain by randomly flying drones near civilian airports... nothing? Consider what NATO have to gain - stirring up anti-Russian sentiment, garnering consent for massive expenditure on an "EU drone wall" and continued money laundering in the Ukraine.

Please show me where Russian politicians openly talk about flying drones around European airports? I've seen Putin and others ridicule the very notion - and it really is ridiculous. Oh, I forgot about the supposed Russian drones in Poland too, drones which don't even have the range to get to Poland, and which had literally been duct-taped together from the remains of Russian drones and placed for a photoshoot!

Look at this map of NATO's expansion eastward toward Russia, and then please do tell about Russia's supposed expansion plans: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:History_of_NATO_enla...

War with Russia is only a real possibility because the US and EU want it.

Germany has a pretty consistent climate. Doesn't really matter where you live. Of course, that's an oversimplification, but if you're new to Germany and wonder "oh, what's the weather going to be here?", the answer pretty much is "similar to the rest of the country".

You could then look at a map of France and think, ah, similarly sized country, probably also has a consistent climate, but that's not true. Southern France is very different from Northern France. But Germany's climate is pretty uniform.

Being a pilot I can attest how important checklists are, and I do advocate for using them in medicine (have practicing relatives, and I have them tired with that).

But maybe you oversimplified the book? (Or the book oversimplified how safety was achieved?)

There are some other 100s of reasons why aviation is safe. Heck, some of them could also be applied NOW: people must rest! I do NOT want to be treated by a doctor doing an idiotic 24hs shift, which is the norm in every country I know of…

There is a whole list of things that can be transferred from aviation to medicine.

Another point I know of is the “handover” of patients. Just as ATC hands over planes from one controller to another, some procedure should warrant the correct transfer of information between shifts. Oh boy I have hear some funny (and some bot at all funny) stories about it.

I think small but key context that needs to be mentioned here is that, Busybox always produced the memorable "Busybox v1.2.3(.*) multi-call binary" header line wherever appropriate, and used "The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux" as project tagline. That's likely why that text is written that way, so that it pattern matches inside users' brains.

> I think if folks could financially benefit from renewable projects in their neighborhoods, suddenly citizens opposition would fall apart.

That's actually happening already in some places - in Thüringen, nearby residents of a windmill get a share of the income [1], and the local municipality also gets a sizable amount... in small Mühlenfließ (Brandenburg) with less than 1000 souls living there, the 16 windmills provide 200.000€ a year in taxes, 10% of the municipal budget [2].

Unfortunately, you need politicians with a backbone to present such plans to their voters, and in rural areas many simply are afraid of far-right terrorism up to and including death threats [3], on top of "alternative" media and even supposedly democratic politicians riling people up against renewable power sources.

No, their market is not dependent on it. Generation of power from stored thermal energy is significantly different from directly using solar: it is completely dispatchable. As such, it serves a role even in a situation where most solar energy (or most solar + wind) is used directly. It enables solar to be used in places, like at high latitudes, where it is otherwise strongly disadvantaged by seasonality (something batteries cannot fix).

Long term storage of this kind reduces the overall cost of providing steady solar/wind output in Europe by half.

They are also addressing markets where the need is for heat. If you are going to make heat from the solar energy, storing it as heat is much cheaper than storing it beforehand as electrical energy and then converting it to heat later.

> I feel like scrutinizing the industry for a 2-3% error on an obviously difficult problem is exactly why we pay so much in the United States for health care

All research I’ve read on this topic finds that it is the US legal system that causes the crazy prices (incentivizing more testing to cover-your-ass and avoid liability etc.)

Many comparative studies on health care cost and quality use the US military as a proxy, as it is free on the condition that you cannot litigate (very coarsely; it is more nuanced).

The costs for treating US military personel is much closer to other countries (while treatment quality remains equal).

Really interesting post. I ran into some of the limitations of working with tables and LLM's last year.

I experimented with an approach to use the llm to generate a bespoke transformation machine that uses an LLM to generate a series of transform steps to extracting key data from large data sets.

> 2-3% error is too high, this is something we _should_ be scrutinizing, and healthcare _should_ be more expensive if the reason it's expensive is that we're pouring more resources into it to get diminishing returns on reducing mistakes

There will be rapid diminishing returns. It may cost 5x to get to 1-2%. Maybe 10x.

That’s the problem with communication, you for instance cannot be listening if you think what I say is what these people say.

I said truth and law, not by someone’s god.

In fact, I like to make it clear thoughts feelings and beliefs are never worth violating the sanctity of others.

Truth and law however are the right to resolve violation, and violation is an instrument of resolution (of those who enable and perpetuate, to put to an end at every expense of those culpable.)

Let me just outline what I call “a righteous rule of law” in so few worlds:

One principled upon Truth, for if it is not true it has no place in law.

One which protects the innocent (those not culpable) from violation by will or neglect.

One entitled by domain, one competent and uncorrupted before law.

And really that’s it, though we must spend volumes of text uncompressing this before being understood in a useful common frame of reference.

I don't have problems with flat. I do have problems with unnecessary borders around buttons. In my opinion, space separates design elements enough and borders, beautiful as they are, with glass transparency effects and other bells and whistles, is just a visual clutter. And Liquid Glass design introduces quite a lot of new borders upon borders upon borders, in a style quite resembling an unholy love child of Windows Vista and flash websites of the 00s.

Incorrect. The decision was made by the SPD (leftist)+ Green coalition government in 2000, and was a condition by the Greens to enter the coalition (and then was adopted by an SPD chancellor who later took a job with Gazprom).

When the conservatives got back into power a decade later, they started to roll back the nuclear exit. But during the panic after the Japan tsunami this policy became unpopular so the conservatives reversed course and stuck with the disastrous Green policy.

But make no mistake, if the Greens did not make it into government, the Atomausstieg would never have happened.

Subjects to read for details:

* “Atomkonsens” 2000 and “Novellierung des Atomgesetzes” 2002, Kabinett Schröder,

* “Laufzeitverlängerung deutscher Kernkraftwerke”, 2010, Kabinett Merkel II

* “13. Gesetz zur Änderung des Atomgesetzes“ 2011 post-Fukushima, taking back the 2010 extensions

OK lets brake this down:

- code generators, I think I saw it only in regex. Logging can be done via `LoggerDefine` too so attributes are optional. Also code generators have access to full tokenized structure of code, and that means attributes are just design choice of this particular generator you are using. And finally code generators does not produce runtime errors unless code that they generated is invalid.

- Json serialization, sure but you can use your own converters. Attributes are not necessary.

- asp.net routing, yes but those are in controllers, my impression is that minimal APIs are now the go to solution and you have `app.MapGet(path)` so no attributes; you can inject services into minimal APIs and this does not require attributes. Most of the time minimal APIs does not require attributes at all.

- dependency injection, require attributes when you inject services in controllers endpoints, which I never liked nor understood why people do that. What is the use case over injecting it through controller constructor? It is not like constructor is singleton, long living object. It is constructed during Asp.net http pipeline and discarded when no longer necessary.

So occasional usage, may still occur from time to time, in endpoints and DTOs (`[JsonIgnore]` for example) but you have other means to do the same things. It is done via attributes because it is easier and faster to develop.

Also your team should invest some time into testing in my opinion. Integration testing helps a lot with catching those runtime errrors.

The plan to shut down nuclear power plants was done under the premise of a stable supply of Russian gas. This supply abruptly stopped, but instead of using the remaining nuclear power plants to mitigate the supply shock (at that time nuclear power was even classified as sustainable by the EU btw.), he even accelerated the shutdown and sold it as inevitable. In my opinion this was the worst political decision of German politics since WW2, unless he wanted to hurt German industry on purpose, which is not even unthinkable.

It appears that this is just testing data retrieval from somewhere in the table? Do the results translate to something where data analysis is performed? From something as simple as summing across rows or averages to generating graphs.

Part of the reason is - people are not machines, its extremely hard to diagnose quite a few situations since every body is a bit unique. Add tons of medications and issues every older person has, within their own unique bodies. Add symptoms like chest or abdominal or head pain which can mean hundreds of conditions, some benign some deadly. Add time pressure to diagnose quickly since that's how medical systems are set up. Wife is a doctor so I can see the perspective from the other side too.

I've had a thrombosis formed in my calf after having a broken leg and using cast. I also caught covid during that time, and from what I've read now I believe it increases temporarily clotting of blood for certain people. When cast was removed, leg was still stiff as wooden plank and ankle didn't bend. I wasn't told to keep the leg higher so I didn't. Some weird mild pain started in the middle of the calf after few days, wife suggested it may be thrombosis rather than stiff muscles or tendons. Went to Switzerland's biggest hospital's ER, got blood tests, they were below limit for thrombosis, so I was just sent home.

Pain didn't go away, luckily my wife considered it suspicious and asked another doctor who is an expert on this to recheck. Voila, thrombosis there.

The cause of miss - ER doctors should have done more than just a blood test (even by their own ER protocols, checked that with wife and her colleagues), echography would have shown blood clot in the veins. If it got dislodged and ended up in lungs, that's a quick death within cca 20 mins, ambulance & CPR usually are not sufficient to keep person alive without major brain damage. Or blood clot goes into brain, cutting off some part of it with similar result. One peer from back home died exactly like that (lung variant, the most deadly one).
