> How compatible are IBM machines?

What do you mean? You can install arbitrary third party Linux distributions like Ubuntu on IBM POWER hardware and they work fine.

Meanwhile they've been conceding most of the server market to Intel and AMD for a long time, because the OS is a commodity and then what matters is who makes the best processors, which isn't IBM.

> It's only over time that customers gradually insist on a few standards here and there after they get burned bad enough, and so some things get standard, but even then only incompletely and begrudgingly and always trying to find some way claw back or obsolete get around some other way.

That's what the walking dead platforms try to do when they're set on continuing to die. Milk every last dime out of the companies foolish enough to buy something that wasn't standardized to begin with.

Then their customers flee to open systems as soon as they can get out from under the lock-in and the legacy vendors, having ruined their own reputations, can't replace the customers they're losing and slowly bleed to death until they go bankrupt or get bought out.
Max's preference and ability to handle a very pointy front-end allows for more control of the aero across the entire car and is generally regarded as the best (fastest) way to design a car. Checo (as well as many other drivers) do not handle that set up as well. Newey's talent is undeniable, too.
> And on top of all that, these people fought an information war at home! What was different then, that allowed people to dedicate themselves so utterly to the cause?

A unified national identity, an American ethnicity in the non-euphemistic sense. People will dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to fighting for their neighbours, for people like them. Nowadays America's self-conception is more like those colonial states where dozens of unrelated tribes got mashed together inside arbitrary borders.
Did the CEO have that many shares that it was his decision? Or did the VCs leave it up to him, and he took the option?
There are islands in the US that may or may not be literally car-free but certainly have very few cars, e.g. the Cranberry Islands in Maine, Isle au Haut, etc. Probably around the San Juans in Washington State. Of course, taking a boat to go to the grocery store may not be what you have in mind. But there are certainly at least almost car-free options if you're willing to live with the tradeoffs. Of course, they're not cities.

You mean the "major shareholder" who intervened in the Starlink division when progress was going nowhere, and suddenly progress was going somewhere?

On that note, it's funny how some people attribute results to different people depending on whether the results are good or bad, with no consistency at all regarding their responsibility.

If you don't like Steam's cut, you can go to Epic or GoG or Origin or Microsoft.

If you don't like Apple's cut, you couldn't (effectively still can't because of the absurd 1 000 000 installs/updates rule) go to any other storefront.

Before you bring up Xbox or Playstation: those devices are not essential computing devices. You can't function in modern society without access to both a computer and a smartphone. That puts a special burden on the companies that effectively own the software stack on those devices.

Not that I see it happen, but lets paint a PC horror scenario:

- Microsoft starts demanding to motherboard and laptop manufacturers to include their Pluton security chip

- Secure Boot can no longer be disabled

- They restructures the Windows kernel in such a way that DirectX is much faster than Vulkan

- They only allow games on the Microsoft Store access to DirectX 12.3 and 13

- Hell, _anything_ not installed from the Microsoft Store has dark-pattern warning pop-ups that make it both too confusing and too scary for the layman to install things from outside the store

- Microsoft also starts to demand a €0.50 fee from any developer that gets more than a million installs - with some updates counting towards installs. _This includes free applications_.

Do you see the problem now? Apple is essentially doing all of these things.
I generally do not think it is wise to pay out ransomeware payments but in this case I do not blame Change for doing so.

The data involved could severely hurt millions of people if released and not having that data was actively hurting people - potentially putting their lives and health in danger by delaying access to medical care and prescriptions.

> Your best bet is asking your family/friend/neighborhood groups.

Where should the ones you ask get information about the best options?

It seems much more likely that someone bought something for the wrong reason (easiest to find, being fooled by fake reviews etc) and then are recommending it onward because they are reasonably happy with it.
It was still connected to the topic at hand. I'm not defending it in other respects.

My more conventional frustration is wide roads with shitty traffic signalling that hold up a crowd of pedestrians while 10-15 cars crawl through the intersection. That being said, at peak times some areas definitely get extremely busy with pedestrian traffic.

Realistically you do need vehicles in cities for logistical reasons etc, so it's not really a sensible line of thought - but it's still annoying :). It's probably worse in other cities, as Melbourne has plenty of street-level trams with separated rights of way as well as many roads being single-laned both ways, so it's honestly not that bad here.

This. As you get into later stages, check sizes become bigger and so does risk aversion + due diligence.
well, selling your installed base to someone you know to be evil may not be criminal, but it's certainly sleazy.
I'm deadly serious.

Aviation, for a long time, administratively speaking, has been very buddy-buddy. Lots of self-attestation and self-certification. That works as long as you can trust the mfg to actually do it. Boeing has proven with the continuous series of failures of the 737 MAX program - from top to bottom - that they are not trustworthy in that regard.

From here on out they can do everything on that airplane by not just the letter of the law, but the serif. They killed hundreds of people through greed and laziness. Simply put, fuck 'em. If they go under it's because they deserve to. Too big to fail is not a situation that should be allowed to exist. The long term resiliency of the system is worth short term pain.

(Edit: And as dylan604 pointed out in a sibling comment, the 737 MAX fleet has already been grounded on mulitple occasions)
I love stuff like this. Once upon a time I thought I'd get more into hacking like this and started working on it... But then I changed jobs and never got back. This made me remember all those games of capture the flag in the 90s.
I agree with the premise that Hamas wouldn't be able to fight open battles. But it doesn't make using human shields (directly by putting military infrastructure in civilian ones or indirectly by not distinguishing themselves) not their fault. The death of human shields is their responsibility, and their alone (without getting into details of which part of dead civilians is actually due to being human shields). Of course, that is a sacrifice they are willing to make, but why would you justify it?
>> Hamas using hospitals

It's going to take decades just to unwind this one statement.

Look at the history of Al Shifa hospital and who has been in control of it at what times. It is storied, and messy.

This conflict has added to it in a major way, and may represent the second largest intelligence failure of the IDF in this whole mess (the first being missing the attack all together).

The build up to them taking the hospital, was impressive. Like it was going to be some major turning point in the conflict. They told everyone that there was a base under the hospital, that it was a command center under there for Hamas.

The actual taking of the hospital had some reporters embedded, who were oddly silent about what was found... We did get some good photo opportunities of IDF soldiers standing next to boxes of aid.

Days later the videos come out. We're talking now about the 'hospital complex'. They bulldozed a wall, and then dug a hole to get to a tunnel entrance. The "tunnels" and a rooms went under and were "attached" to a pharmacy next door.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleged_military_use_of_al-Shi...

Was this a massive intel failure for the US and the IDF? Did Hamas pull off one of the greatest dis and mis information campaigns of the last 100 years? Did the IDF outright lie to the US? What really happened here is going to be one for the history books and I hope I live long enough to see it unravel.

Perhaps a better alternative would be to stop anthropomorphising abstractions, and not try to weirdly attribute intentionality, independent agency, or sociopathy to the same thing we're acknowledging is incapable of conscience because it isn't a person.

This is not a novel problem, historians already deal with this. Written history is rife with lies, inaccuracies, huge holes (often artificially created), and propaganda. The scale may be larger, but the fundamental issue is the same.
This is good advice. It doesn’t take many data points, just one or two similar-sounding conversations, to inadvertently establish a pattern that can worry a whole team.

I saw an interview a while back between Tim Ferriss and someone who had tried CGM for fun/research. One thing he noticed was the huge impact a short walk after a meal brought down his blood sugar levels. Tim then mentioned he experienced the same thing and that there is a saying in China, something to the effect of, "take 100 steps after a meal, live 99 years." This also linked up with something I had looked up a few years ago when I noticed that I always saw families of Indian decent walking around neighborhoods, but never anyone else. I looked it up, and founds there is a word in Marathi of taking 100 steps after a meal. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatapawali)

It seems there has been this age old knowledge that taking a short walk after a meal is really good for you, which somehow got lost in some/many cultures. My parents would always say they had to sit after a meal to let their food digest... it never really made sense to me. My grandma, on the other hand, is 103 and gets pretty upset if people try to stop her from walking after a meal (or whenever she wants). We always just thought she liked walking, but maybe there is something else driving her, it seems to have worked out for her. It was very interesting to hear the CGM back up some of these practices that have likely been going on for hundreds or thousands of years.

I have been wanting to try one. This approval opens up the door. I think seeing something like this with my own eyes, with my own body, with actual numbers, would have a bunch bigger impact than some anecdotal stories from others and nice sayings which align.

It looks like there is some research being done in the area as well.

I think it's seldom to protect other peoples wealth. I'm trying to think of an example where that was the case. More typically, as a Brit our last big war was fighting Hitler as we didn't like fascism and that. It was very costly for us wealth wise compared with say making a pact with him as he would have liked.
Well, let's quiz you then: What country currently has millions of people are risk of starving to death due to war?

I'll give you more clues: it's also one of the largest mass displacements of people due to war in current times, with plenty of rape and ethnic cleansing.

I will of course want to see how many comments you've posted about the topic, and how many HN submissions. Since obviously this war is many times larger than Gaza, so should command a much larger portion of your attention.
> But Hamas doesn't care for civilians.

Are these civilians not their families and communities? According to Hamas does death for their cause not earn you points for your glorious after life? You have to understand their beliefs to understand how they justify their actions. I have no doubt what they are doing is sensible to them else why would they do it?
Show HN: Flytrap – More context to production debugging
Hey guys,

I’ve been working on my debugging tool Flytrap, which is supposed to help fix production bugs easier.

Flytrap allows you to see the input and output data of every function and variable before a production bug, so finding the root-cause of the bug becomes faster.

I'm currently collecting feedback and insights on existing debugging tools, challenges, workflows, etc. and it would help me out a lot to hear from you.

Any feedback and thoughts are welcome!
If somebody pays a ransomware payment, the government could seize their computers and encrypt their data until they pay a fine.
It looks interesting. I will take this chance to say that I notice a lot of tools get dubbed “physics simulation frameworks” when they’re really more about mechanics,. As much as “physics” covers—from quarks to quasars—calling these tools something like "mechanics simulators” might be more on the nose. But, yeah, getting the naming conventions to shift might be a lost cause at this point. But hi, its better thab CERN naming the most used tool for their field "ROOT" and compete with every IT person in linux world on search engine space.
> I have a friend who's in that situation. Medical bills for his entire family have basically crushed him. Without the late fees, he'd be just scraping by with bad credit. With the late fees, he's still got bad credit. But now he's got late fees, too.

Whenever I hear these stories, I often think they're made up, or the person has spent zero effort attempting to remedy their situation (and therefore are being financially irresponsible).

Has this friend contacted the hospital/insurer and worked out an affordable payment plan? Universally they'd rather work out an affordable payment plan and get on track vs. not get paid at all. Whatever this friend is doing right now is clearly unsustainable.

What about securing a loan at an affordable monthly payment with longer terms to help lessen the monthly impact on their budget?

There are many options to get back on track - and none of them involve perpetually stacking up late fees.

The MAX fleet has been grounded multiple times now. Why would this be any different? The grounding after the door flew off was way shorter than the MCAS grounding.

It seems that neo-grotesques have fully supplanted the humanist typefaces in modern designs, with Aptos joining Inter and San Francisco. I wonder if Microsoft will replace Segoe at some point.

> This is right on the money about what people don't understand when they talk about escaping inputs or detecting attacks. There is no clear universal designation between what is a harmless or a malicious instruction. Even within systems themselves that distinction often doesn't clearly exist, let alone at a universal level that can be applied to every application.

I took the phrase to mean "outside any large company". It seems like a fairly obvious metaphor; if you have a starup working on a large scale infrastructure project, you have to set your own logistics just a camp in the literal wildness.
I've never been to Maine, but we have many small islands in BC with very few cars as well. However, despite the small quantity of cars, they're as car-dependent as anywhere; it's very dangerous for pedestrians to walk across them, because the roads have high speed limits, no sidewalks or shoulders, blind turns, and no lighting, so you're in danger of being hit by one of the (very few) cars screaming by at a high speed. Just like most rural areas in North America, and nothing like the neighbourhood described in the linked video. But maybe it's better in Maine.

My current working hypothesis is that the way to get the best out of an LLM (and any AI which uses them as the human interface layer) is the same way to get the best out of a human — because it's trained on humans interacting with other humans.

If you yell and swear at the chatbot, you'll get the response most similar to how a human would respond to yelling and swearing. I know the stereotype about drill instructors, but does that even work for marines, or is it just an exercise in learning to cope with stress?
Possessing any information on the subject makes one feel like a wizard if one is the only person on the team with such knowledge. Kind of like being able to explain which parts of the network stack are affected by the values emitted from ip route.
Another advantage of printed parts is it's easy to use alternative part designs. There are lots of variants on the standard parts that you most likely will start replacing stock parts with as soon as you get addicted.

Huh? I've never seen this. If the drivers get a green turn arrow the pedestrians get a don't-walk. However, I see (and have been one) pedestrians who understand the light going anyway across the part of the road that's facing a red, treating it as two separate crossings. While this is not a problem I have also seen pedestrians going the other way start to cross when the oncoming pedestrians start--and they may be crossing against the green arrow. Same as you sometimes see drivers go because the lane next to them went but it was actually on a different traffic control.

As for the pedestrian hitting the button--I have never seen the button alter the sequence of the lights. The button does two things: Cause the light to cycle (in case it's sensor controlled and won't cycle if nobody comes along) and ensuring the cycle time is long enough for a pedestrian to cross. I've also seen hitting the button causing the button to indicate the status of the light (for the blind.)
That's a niche demand with a low chance of serving general audiences. SGE could be a potentially suitable user interface for this use case but I don't think they will integrate it into their entire stack anytime soon given the technical difficulty...
I honestly don’t understand why you seem to be getting so upset about this. Dada isn’t a real language, it’s a thought experiment. It’s whole purpose to ask exactly these questions, and discuss the consequences, so those learnings can be used to inform other languages.

Arguing that a particular design choice is silly from a purely ergonomic or usage perspective is kind of absurd, given you literally can’t use the language at all. Maybe waiting for a mutex, signalling a semaphore, or waiting for page faults should require an await (although it’s literally impossible for a language to await a page fault without a lot cooperation from the OS). The whole point of Dada is you can make those design choices, then work through the consequences. Maybe it turns out they’re actually fantastic ideas, once you get past the surface level issues, or maybe they’re terrible ideas. But once again, Dada doesn’t actually exist! It’s a thought experiment to test all kinds of ideas, but without having to waste all the time and energy building those ideas to discover issues that could have been discovered by simply having a conversation.
These exist. Those who can't find them being unable to find them is the design.

There's no value in arguing with the kind of people who argue online.
You seem really invested in ‘no one could afford it’, even at lower orbits.
