Delta Force was released in January of this year. He was running it at 4k and 120FPS in medium. If you're willing to go for 60FPS or 1920x1080 I'm certain he could have it running in ultra or whatever at 60FPS. And that was on a less than $400 PC. Similarly he was also playing CS2 (released late 2023) in medium 4k at what seemed to average around 90FPS.

For contrast most PS5 games are going to run at 1080p at the highest, which is then upscaled to 4k output, and generally capped at 60FPS.

----

I think Japanese studios are simply mispricing their games. Shin Megami Tensei V is a game that could probably be quite big on the PC but instead has less than 3500 reviews (as a ballpark for sales) because of a price that's way outside the peak point on the supply:demand curve. It also has almost no regional pricing adjustments - like $50 in India and Vietnam, $40 in China, etc, for a game may as well have a label saying 'please pirate me, I don't want your patronage.'

In classical advertising it was believed that lowering the price of something was subconsciously associated with a lower quality/brand damage in the consumer, and they're probably still under this school of thought. But I think at this point it's largely obsolete, certainly in software. People, in general, just don't pay $60 (or anywhere near it) for games on PC anymore.

> It feels like you’re using “industrial food” as a pejorative, but the best chefs in the world also do not skimp on salt

Your first comment that kicked off this sub-thread missed the context. We’re talking about school food kids eat every day, not occasional restaurant meals. So the appeal to authority of “best chefs in the world” doesn’t make sense here.

My point wasn’t that taste is bad, it’s that when you optimize solely for taste like restaurants do (using high salt, high fat etc without disclosure), you can create health problems when consumed daily.

> No mainstream implementation does that for memory unsafety due to the performance overhead

It depends on what is considered memory safety here (especially when some of them are arguably unforced errors in the standards), but many implementations do in fact have options for this ("no delete null pointer checks" for example is an example of one such option, for example, which is used extensively by the Linux kernel for example).

The performance impact tends to be much more negligible outside of, sometimes contrived, benchmarks, especially when compared to algorithmic efficiencies or the like.

No, you do not:

https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/travel/trip-planning/us-tra...

"If you forget your ID, you may still be able to fly after some extra screening."

https://www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/i-forg...

"I forgot my identification; can I still proceed through security screening? In the event you arrive at the airport without acceptable identification (whether lost, stolen, or otherwise), you may still be allowed to fly. By providing additional information, TSA has other ways to confirm your identity so you can reach your flight."

Every USA airline has this documentaiton, and TSA has this documentation on their website too.

>Unless you're trying to be unnecessarily pedantic, yes you do.

Edge cases should be accounted for IRL. People like you are the reason why the right to privacy is being eroded away constantly.

>But if you're an adult and you want to hop on a commercial flight from JFK to LAX, you need government-issued photo ID, period. You're not getting through security otherwise.

The evidence I presented above states you can. Whether or not it's seamless or comfortable isn't a discussion, nor should it be "pedantic" to know the rules presented by these organizations.

That's not from the LI post from the CTO that the story (or the Futurism story the linked story is apparently rereporting) is based on [0], which has the same straight-up fraud description as appears in both stories: “We told our customers there's an "AI that'll join a meeting.” In reality it was just me and my co-founder calling in to the meeting sitting there silently and taking notes by hand.”

Your quote seems likely to be from an after-the-fact damage control “clarification” post by the CEO [1] describing that the early users as close friends, who knew that it was human assisted and not machine transcription (I say seems likely to be because it expresses something similar to what you claim but slightly more distant from the original story, and doesn't have the quote you present, but it is marked as edited so it seems plausible that it at one point had your quote but decided that it needed even a stronger rewrite of the narrative for PR reasons.)

There's a UN report on it:

https://press.un.org/en/2024/sc15621.doc.htm

This was the conclusion of both UN and EU committees:

"the two groups' fighters "committed widespread sexual and gender-based violence in a systematic manner, using it as a weapon of war""

"In July 2025, Hamas was added to the UN's sexual violence blacklist"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violen...

As well as individual research:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/18/evidence-point...

And even interviews with the fighters themselves in which the admit it:

Asking why there are no filled allegation is as ignorant as suggesting that no Palestinian home was destroyed because no Palestinian appealed to Palestinian court suing Israeli soldiers for destroying their home. You clearly don't understand how the system works.

from cursory reading of the article I don’t see that author’s problems are specifically with Grafana in its best use case (metrics), but with other products from Grafana company, for which are a lot of alternatives.

Grafana dashboards itself (paired with VictoriaMetrics and occasionally Clickhouse) is one of the most pleasant web apps IMO. Especially when you don’t try to push the constraints of its display model, which are sometimes annoying but understandable.

I'm talking about the 1948 version which has the following:

> Article 12

> Nul ne sera l'objet d'immixtions arbitraires dans sa vie privée, sa famille, son domicile ou sa correspondance, ni d'atteintes à son honneur et à sa réputation. Toute personne a droit à la protection de la loi contre de telles immixtions ou de telles atteintes.

And that's it, no other additions.

> Could you provide conclusive evidence for that? Could you provide even cases of formally filed rape allegations?

It's pretty crazy how far the Overton Window has shifted on Jews. We went from it being prima facie evidence of antisemitism to even "notice" their disproportionate influence on, or over-representation in, certain American institutions, like the Supreme Court--as shown when Pat Buchanan got soft-canceled for noting that Kagan's confirmation would make Jews a full 1/3 of Justices, despite being only 2% of the population--to it now being acceptable to outright deny war crimes committed against Israelis.

This is a bit interesting in how it doesn't require further interactivity with the attacker once the libc address has been obtained, unlike most basic ROP examples, which I've rarely seen require anything fancier than return-to-main. The more the chain does in a single pass, the more it might need gadgets smarter than "set register to immediate and return".

First, as the other comment mentioned, that political stream you're talking about was literally the one the left Gaza.

Second, that political stream is the opposition of the Zionism stream that established Israel. Picking and choosing the last two years as a proof for what Zionism is all about is like saying "Americanism is all about taking over Greenland". Somehow, when it's Zionism, people will not notice how ridiculous that sounds.

Mimir is just architected for a totally different order of magnitude of metrics. At that scale, yeah, Kafka is actually necessary. There are no other open-source solutions offering the same scalability, period.

That's besides the point that most customers will never need that level of scale. If you're not running Mimir on a dedicated Kubernetes cluster (or at least a dedicated-to-Grafana / observability cluster) then it's probably over-engineered for your use-case. Just use Prometheus.

I wish I would not have a standard post for topics like this:

Every time a surveillance system and violation of privacy rights is advertised in the EU as a solution against child abuse and trafficking I ask myself how such a system could have changed the outcome of a case like Dutroux. Would have been the dozens of witnesses and police officers involved in the investigation suicided a way sooner, later, more silently, or at all? We will never know...

The Russia, China, and Iran axis doesn’t exist. That’s American propaganda linking together three countries it dislikes.

Iran has loose relations with both which are not dissimilar to the one it has with the EU. Its conflict is also fairly limited to Israel and the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Russia and China have an ambivalent relationship where they are key economic partners with complementary economies but have no official military alliance and are somewhat wary of each other as Russia fears a potential Chinese invasion.

> Co-opting the warranted praise for these heroes to attempt to score political points for any side is pathetic.

The sentence "Lunch ladies, along with other low-status government workers, are as close to an Absolute Good as you can get" is itself an attempt to score poltical points for a poltical faction. As is calling them "heroes".

Specifically, this is a leftist poltical argument associated with the Democratic party in the united states, suggesting that it is good for the government to be in charge of running civic institutions that are legally obligated to serve all citizens in exactly the same way, in order to dissuade people from spending their money on services they prefer which might be better than those poorer people can afford; and also that the government employees who do the frontline labor at these institutions are laudable and morally superior people. There are ideological associations here with official Soviet propaganda lauding the worker in the abstract.

Someone who didn't like their public school experience or the way the lunch lady there did their job might resonably grow up to take political stances that reject the idea that low-status government workers are as close to an Absolute Good as you can get.

Surveillance, as typically deployed, cannot _stop_ the acts of abuse. It may be helpful in locating evidence that they occurred, but by that point, you've already allowed nearly irreparable harm to a child.

Even if it did work it would be completely ineffective at reducing the number of victims. Even if it somehow did by proxy then criminals would simply get smarter and find new ways to completely evade this system.

I have a large amount of disrespect for people who should know all this yet push these types of solutions anyways.

From the horse's mouth?

>The CMNR reviewed many of these studies when they were initially completed and noticed that underconsumption of the ration appeared to be a consistent problem. Typically, soldiers did not consume sufficient calories to meet energy expenditure and consequently lost body weight. The energy deficit has been in the range of 700 to 1,000 kcal/d and thus raises concern about the influence of such a deficit on physical and cognitive performance, particularly over a period of extended use. Anecdotal reports from Operation Desert Storm, for example, indicated that some units may have used MREs as their sole source of food for 50 to 60 days—far longer than the original intent when the MRE was initially field tested. > >There have been successive modifications of the MRE since 1981. These modifications in type of food items, diversity of meals, packaging, and food quality have produced small improvements in total consumption but have not significantly reduced the energy deficit that occurs when MREs are consumed. This problem continues in spite of positive hedonic ratings of the MRE ration items in laboratory and field tests. The suboptimal intake of operational rations thus remains a major issue that needs to be evaluated.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25121269/

Or to summarize it; soldiers weren't eating the full MRE's in Desert Storm, and it a widespread problem. Soldiers that weren't meeting their caloric intake requirements were suffering cognitive issues while in combat operations. Bit of an issue when you've got two groups of people trying to kill each other and not their own side.

So they figured the best option to get the soldiers to eat their rations was to keep improving and updating until soldiers were more inclined to eat the whole damn thing. I don't know if they've succeeded per say but they have been updating the menus pretty consistently since the 90's. I think only the beef stew and a few other meal items have stayed consistent over the last 30 years of MRE's.

> What's your proposal here?

There is no proposal, and that's the point.

That's why I dredged up the dead comment in the first place stating it plainly "let them sink, let them go away." At least that poster was honest about the end game.

Lot of other posters here on HN seem to feel the same way but they're rationalizing it with "well, they deserve it after all". It's their fault "because they’ve burned every bridge." It's their fault because "most people have a dozen friends". It's their fault because "substances and severe mental illness that gets in the way of the cooperation."

And if we don't agree with this assessment, it's we who are not serious. But left unstated is: their way just ends up leaving this vulnerable population to die, and they really don't have a problem with that, because according to them, it's their own damn fault.

I believe the latest solution to homelessness proffered in the public sphere was from Brian Kilmeade, who said "involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em." A final solution if you will.

When 99% of all charts have this problem, maybe the problem isn’t with the individual charts, rather a symptom of a fundamentally dissonant abstraction model. The core problem is that it’s overkill. The solution to that is not to add or fix, the solution is to remove.

Why would I need a chart for a single container app? Making this simple is what Kubernetes is designed for. No, I don’t want your ServiceAccounts or PVs because I anyway need to grant and understand the permissions and select the size and SKU of the underlying disk.

Deploying an app in your own infrastructure has too many knobs that need to be turned so you need to expose all of them. Just spend a few minutes extra to write your own deployment manifest. While it’s a few more lines of code vs ”helm install”, you will not regret it and you’ll get a much better understanding of what’s actually running.

Now there are of course exceptions to this, like Prometheus or Ingress operators where more complex charts are warranted. What I’m talking about is those charts that just wrap what can be translated from docker-compose to k8s in two minutes.

Except that it is not materially false. Only in a perfect society will your “system that flags illicit content” not become a system that flags whatever some authoritarian regime considers threatening, and subverting public logging/auditing is similarly trivial to a motivated authoritarian. All your hypothetical solutions rely on humans, who are notoriously susceptible to being influenced by either money or being beaten with pipes, and on corporations, who are notoriously susceptible to being influenced by things that influence their stock price.

The Pleyel’s corollary to Murphy’s law is that all compromises to individuals’ rights made for the sake of security will eventually be used to further deprive them of those rights.

(I especially liked the line “You can require cops to build multiple sufficient points of independently corroborated evidence before arresting people.”)

Definitely agree on the mentality it creates and how long it lasts. I’m fairly well off now, but grew up very poor. First developing world poor where running water and toilets were shared with the whole building, the whole family crammed into a single room. Then western world poor, where my parents and some friends that lived together (to save money) would walk to get groceries, buy one bus ticket to have one person carry the groceries on the bus most of the way back, and the rest of the group walk to the bus station and help to carry the groceries the rest of the way home.

Silicon Valley engineer income and wealth now, but still extremely uncomfortable spending money that isn’t necessary. My partner grew up quite differently and doesn’t understand why I’m so frugal with money given my relatively high income.

While it's of course a good thing to be critical the author did provide some more context on the why and how of doing it with LLM's on the hard fork podcast today [0]: mostly as a way to see how these models _can_ help them with these tasks.

I would recommend listening to their explanation, maybe it'll give more insight.

Disclosure: After listening the podcast and looking up and reading the article I emailed @dang to suggest it goes into the HN second chance pool. I'm glad more people enjoyed it.

The usual truth is that labor costs more in the US than it does anywhere else. A lot of things are just what you get if you have cheap labor. As an example, all over South Asia you can get top-notch personal cooking and cleaning on a daily basis. In the US you cannot. It's because everyone is rich in the US. The embodied cost of labor in everything you get is quite a large fraction.

The median household income in Poland is a quarter that of the US.

> For example, I can't wrap my head around how a) a human could come up with a piece of writing that inarguably reads "novel" writing, while b) an AI could be guaranteed to not be able to do the same, under the same standard.

The secret ingredient is the world outside, and past experiences from the world, which are unique for each human. We stumble onto novelty in the environment. But AI can do that too - move 37 AlphaGo is an example, much stumbling around leads to discoveries even for AI. The environment is the key.

I don't think anon is correct, but I can understand how they'd come to their conclusions. I certainly didn't choose AMD to maximize my pay, though it's always been a comfortable salary.

With regards to performance, there are some things tracked carefully and other things that are not tracked at all. I suspect that is why some folks think we're really good at it and others think we're terrible. There's lots of room for improvement, though. Excitement over trivial performance regressions is more a sign of immaturity than of good tracking.

> why does that need to be an OS?

It doesn't. You can still run Incus on other platforms of choice.

Sample size 1 here, but a big advantage of the 'full-stack' approach is things like network config, storage management, boot safety etc all work out of the box and you then get a single API (and nice client) for the whole machine. I get the benefits of cloud infra, like not having to care (too much) about sysadmin, from some hardware sitting in the corner.

I can literally

incus launch images:nixos/unstable foo -t aws:m1.large

and start hacking.

Previously I would still need to be maintaining that base layer too. That still makes sense for some environments, but particularly for home I just want my lights and music to work, and be able to play.

It is the objective, it's always been the objective. The worst part is that I bet these people don't even think of themselves as authoritarian so much as they stumble into it through a combination of selfishness, ignorance, and complete disregard for ethics. They like money and power, more information means more of both, darn the torpedos, tap the lines, hit the gas and all of a sudden it's oops all facism.
Making $1200 a month with a great idea that help AI App builders find customers
by leadgrids | 2025-11-15 07:00:43+00:00
Just Food For Thought: There are millions of app creators now, many can't even get their first customer.

So we thought about it and built https://leadgrids.com.

This crazy tool scans the internet to find Reddit customers who are actively looking for your product. They are urgent and high intent users who is willing and want to buy now.

How it works:

Tell LeadGrids about your business (say Nike)

We find reddit users who are posting about needing that and ready to pay ( 'need new shoes').

You can contact them on our platform.

No more cold outreach or spamming your product in launch platforms!

This is the most crazy part:

We launched recently and already have ~50 paying customers.

Hope others get inspired by this idea!

I do this, but it's not really about if it's "gross" to eat a whole bag or not. I don't feel like doing that anyway. It's mostly that if you share food, I think it's considerate to leave one if there's more than one left. Someone else might be having a really bad day, but a small consolation could be that they didn't get home to discover there aren't any cookies left.

You're saying it like hardware and software are disjoint. You design hardware with software in mind (and vice versa); you need to if you want performance rivaling nvidia. This codesign, seeing their products are not only usable but actually tailored to maximize resource utilization in real workloads (not driven by w/e benchmarks), is where AMD seems to lack.

Why oversimplify the premise and frame your take as some 'proof'. Just use the term counter-argument/example
