IMO it's all about the money being the main motivating factor. With government contracts more money should mean you can do a better job - which is why these contracts are so large. But there's a conflicting motivation to 'generate value for shareholders.' And this is further confounded by conflicts of interest in oversight. Congress not only receives large donations from the military industrial complex, but is also literally invested in these companies, and also stands to work as 'consultants', lobbyists, and and the like after leaving office for 7+ figure salaries. So you get a system where so long as money's getting spent, everybody's pretty happy - and the more, the merrier.

It seems that in the past there was more ideologically (rather than financially) motivated leadership of many industries. One can see this today by comparing companies like SpaceX with Boeing. SpaceX is an ideologically driven company with a goal of colonizing Mars, headed by an eccentric engineer. Boeing is a financially driven company headed by an accountant. One has already revolutionized the entire space industry multiple times and is sending costs plummeting. The other has now spent tens of billions of dollars and well over a decade trying to rework Space Shuttle era tech into a new overpriced rocket that's already effectively obsolete before it's even finished. [1] And Boeing is also one of the largest military industrial complex contractors.

Of course in 40 or 50 years, SpaceX will just be another Boeing. Maybe there's an argument for not perpetuating massive companies. They all seem to go from ideologically driven to MBA driven, yet their inertia and size makes it quite difficult to compete against them, resulting in an overall stagnation in technology and efficiency.

My sympathy for your troubles, but please keep in mind:
Everybody is processing Ukranians and Arabs. The system was never meant for such a rapid influx of people.

Hmmm… that makes more sense. My experience was getting a visa automatically extended for N months on application, and applications not ever being processed slower than that. But I can totally see the US having wild backlog, for example
I think you're being a little absolutist about this. Swapping out a possibly equivalent database engine does not turn anything into a unit test, which is defined by testing individual units of code in relative isolation. You can argue that it's not true end to end testing. But almost every E2E test I've seen involves some compromises compared with the true production environment to save money, time, or effort.

Don't engineers at least learn to solve the heat equation analytically using Fourier transforms? It wasn't all numerical algorithms, was it?
No, the size of the accretion disk depends on the mass of the black hole but it not that large compared to stellar orbits.

The disk well defined inner radius of 3rg (Schwarzschild radius), the outer radius is blurred, but usually even in super massive black-holes does not extend all that much beyond 0.1ly. A star rarely orbits another star (black-holes) that close in a stable orbit.

For normal blackholes the disk it is going to very small.
Thank you. I've been on HN since 2009. The most successful people I've seen here, are the ones that are transparent, honest and ethical.

I'm not trying to point fingers, I'm just focused on building a sustainable business and listening to my customers needs. The only way I can do that is by communicating with everyone around me as clearly and openly as I can. All our customers will know exactly where they stand, at all times.

I post a lot of open information on r/AMD_Stock and the feedback that I've gotten there has been exceptional. People are excited to see if AMD can claw back a bit of the market. For the safety and success of AI, we don't need team blue vs. team red, we need everyone to work towards having as many options as possible.

This is one way that I think we are going to differentiate ourselves. We won't just have MI300x, we will have every best-of-the-best chunk of hardware that we can get our hands on. No longer will super computers be tied up behind govt/edu grants. We want to democratize it. It has long been a goal of mine to build a super computer, and here is my chance. I'm excited.

One thing that sets us apart is that my co-founder and I have a ton of experience deploying, managing and optimizing 150,000 AMD GPUs and 20PB+ of storage. We did it ourselves, all through covid and all of the supply chain issues. I'm not sure many others have done that and this is something that we are well versed at doing.

I'm also seeing my competitors hiring a ton, while we are staying lean and mean with a very small team. I'd rather automate everything we deploy and focus all of our investors money on buying compute. We also have a pool of previous people we can hire from, which I think is quite an advantage over blanket hiring.
They're orthogonal issues because you can address one, the other, neither, or both totally independently. We can have very strict data protection laws and also have strict id checking for regulated industries.

I'm well aware of RTA labels. I've pointed them out on similar threads. They're also not ideal (given that they're basically "yes/no" which will necessarily lead to arguments about what should be classified), but like I said, I'm inclined to prefer that kind of approach. Something like mandate commercial sites and commercial browsers (which is every major one) to implement it or something like it, with criminal liability for commercial porn sites that fail to do so.

That said, not all sites do implement it. e.g. reddit and redgifs do not, and reddit also hosts forums specifically targeted at children. Those two sites are very high traffic and are completely negligent here. Also, content can't be blocked at the router level if it's using TLS, which of course almost all of these sites do (you could potentially do SNI sniffing against a host blacklist, but even that will go away with ECH). Perhaps the "evil bit" could be used for that purpose at the IP layer so it works with TLS.

Generally, the more I think about it, it does seem "reasonable" to just say businesses dealing in adult restricted materials are liable for determining their customer is an adult (to a standard that a reasonable person would believe), and websites are not an exception unless it was e.g. a defacement. Let them figure out how to do it, and if the government can collect evidence that they failed to do so, they can charge them with distribution to minors. The sites can come up with their own system according to their risk tolerance. Basically, just raise (or introduce) the bar for negligence.

Alcohol distributors don't seem to have a problem doing this. Perhaps porn distributors can ask them for help.
Yeah single devs usually have some sort of ulterior ad driven spyware motive.
This also had hardcoded credentials, just quite well obfuscated.

But the SNI hostname will only include everything left of the TLD. So that is the TLD, the domain name, and the subdomain. It excludes the rest of the URL.

Hi, I'm Diego, the creator of Will AI Do This?

As part of my job, I need to be news related to GenAI and LLMs in particular.

I often found myself uploading promtp + answer + image to posts on linkedin and twitter, only to never find them again when I wanted to share them elsewhere.

Sometimes I would create a blogpost for a collection of prompts, but it often felt like an overkill.

Will AI Do This allows you to upload prompts (with images), renders code and it supports basic metadata (was the prompt successful?, what model was used?, etc).

> The worst part is how people are fine with it. If you go to r/Brasil you'll see endless mobs cheering the supreme court.

Yeah it's disgusting, it seriously makes me sick. It's literally written in the constitution that censorship is illegal, especially that of a political nature. Yet the judge-kings censored their political enemies. And people cheered them on. They even made a public spectacle out of it. In other countries, they at least keep their corruption under wraps because they're afraid of the consequences. Here, they do it openly. They rub it in your face and dare you to do something about it. And people love it because the target is someone they don't like. They think the dictator is on their side.

The portuguese are not immune from brazilian persecution unfortunately. Couple months ago the polícia federal detained a portuguese citizen and journalist who visited Brazil to cover Bolsonaro's latest public rally. Looks like brazilian police was keeping tabs on this guy due to incredibly illegal opinions such as "Brazil is a judiciary dictatorship". Apparently they think it's illegal for the portuguese to hold wrong opinions too. Maybe they'll go back home and ruin Brazil's stellar international reputation?

> What's the political situation like?

Suffice it to say my own parents who lived through an actual military dictatorship approached me and asked me to stop commenting on things online because they're afraid I might get arrested. I actually wonder if one day dang is gonna get some letter from the brazilian government because of my comments.

> Do most people agree with what's going on? Are they uninformed like in Portugal? Is it a loud internet minority thing?

Can't say for certain. Whatever I say will be colored by my horrible experiences trying to deal with all this stuff. HN is actually the only place where I feel free enough to speak my mind and even here I run into some incredibly misinformed people. I've had to explain to other brazilians here that Lula is a self-admitted communist. People think I'm trolling them or something. It borders on gaslighting.

The reality is that insulin isn't a treatment for Type 2 -- it's a treatment for Type 1. Type 1 is basically internal starvation. Your cells can't obtain the glucose they need from your blood because your body can't produce insulin.

Type 2 is the exact opposite. Your cells are saturated with glucose and your body literally can't produce any more insulin to stuff that glucose away. Giving insulin just forces the excess blood glucose into tissue and causes additional fat gain. The additional fat gain makes Type 2 worse. Weight loss is the treatment for Type 2.

We've kind of known this since 1915 when Type 2 was treated with fasting. Right up until insulin was discovered. [1, 2, 3]

That's why GLP-1/GIPs work for diabetes. They make you not hungry, so you don't eat, so you lose weight, and presto, no more insulin resistance.

> [...] we now understand that people with type 2 diabetes who lose significant weight and improve other factors related to diabetes can achieve remission. [3]

Could somebody enlighten me how a U.S. court could impose a worldwide sanction on a foreign company (in is case Chinese)? Yes, I understand that Hytera is a global company with a subsidiary in the US. But is there not a thing as a jurisdiction? Maybe the case involved a U.S. patent dispute? But still, a U.S. patent is not a world-patent and has no validity outside of the US. So what is the legal basic for such overbearing claims? Just because we can??

The registration at the notary alone already costs several hundred euros, you would be immediately bankrupt with 1€.
A few things to point out:

1) The Debugger and the program being debugged -- are effectively running in the same execution environment; the same memory space (both programs are different ranges of the same memory and both can access each other's memory without restrictions, but only one can be running at one time (single stepping swaps control (for an instant) and then swaps it back again, as does running under the debugger until a breakpoint is hit -- as there are absolutely NO threads (concurrent code execution paths) in this environment!)

If the debugged program crashes for any reason, for example, enters an infinite loop and/or doesn't yield control back to the debugger via executing a RET instruction -- then the entire PC (if DOS is running directly on hardware (as opposed to under Windows and/or a VM) will crash, AKA "lock-up"! Powering the entire machine on and off is now necessary to reboot it! (Dave Letterman, many years ago, in response to the then-feared upcoming Y2K disaster: "Just Reboot!")

2) While this mode of programming is hard, laborious, counter-intuitive, slow, and error-prone(!) -- it should also be lauded, praised -- because equal-and-oppositely, whoever is programming at this level has effectively gotten rid of 99.99% of the "tech stack" dependencies -- the code written by other programmers in compilers, operating systems, programing languages, programming environments, libraries, frameworks, tech stacks, other software components, etc., etc.

Oh sure, there's still DOS in the background... but the DOS code/API fits into like what, like 32KB? (That's Kilobytes with a 'K', not Megabytes or Gigabytes... several orders of magnitude smaller...)

And a pure assembly low-level programmer -- does not even need to depend/rely on DOS or BIOS calls... they can effectively get rid of those too by writing their own hardware drivers... OS developers that write in Assembly typically do this or something like this...

Anyway, an excellent article!

Other people have already written this, but Berlin is not a good representation for Germany as a whole. It has been known for decades within Germany for having a dysfunctional government structure and administration (due in part to unclear division of responsibilities between districts and the city).

Elsewhere in Germany, bureaucracy tends to be tedious but functional.

The neglicence of the state of Berlin is actually illegal in many cases. I once even asked a lawyer if I could sue them for their delays, but he wrote back to me to the effect that he was too much on good terms with them to sue, but that I could pay him some money (out of my pocket, of course) so he would go "talk" to them.

I think that there should be a database so that any time I install a program, the program will update the database so I never have to look for the program. Also the database would allow me to set the default and I could change it doing: `linpath default python3` and it would give a menu to select the default. Don't you think that would be great?

I just think this would make installation so easy!

First I’m hearing of it!
The origin point was, according to my searches, specially modified S/360-40, where CP-40 (VM's "grandpa") was developed as well as CMS.

This was followed by S/360-67 which introduced address translation to S/360 and was specially built for timesharing - there, CP-67 was developed, and since model 67 was sold normally, it was apparently provided to some customers as alternative OS. CP-67 evolved into VM/370
This inquiry was originally opened in 2019 to investigate “fake news” and “digital militias”, and it is illegal.

- In Brazil, a judge cannot open an inquiry. This falls under the responsibility of the Federal Prosecution Service (Ministério Público) or the judiciary police. Yet, Inquiry 4874 was opened by the Supreme Court.

- You can’t simultaneously be the victim, judge and prosecutor in a case. Still, this is the situation in Inquiry 4874, where a Supreme Court justice prosecutes and judges supposed crimes committed against the Supreme Court.

- Defense attorneys must be given full access to case files. This has not happened in Inquiry 4874.

- The Brazilian attorney general in 2019 has determined the inquiry to be abandoned due to it being unconstitutional. While the Brazilian constitution says that the Federal Prosecution Service (Ministério Público) conducts investigations and determines their end, this determination was ignored by the Supreme Court.

- The inquiry violates the Supreme Court’s own internal regiment. That regiment, which was created in 1969, says that the Supreme Court can open inquiries for crimes committed “within its premises”. This was superseded by the 1988 constitution, which transfers the investigatory function to the judiciary police and the Federal Prosecution Service (Ministério Público). Still, even if you ignore that and go by what the internal regiment says, clearly the facts under investigation by Inquiry 4874 have not happened within the premises of the Supreme Court. To justify that, its justices have extended de definition of what consists the premises the Supreme Court to be the whole Brazilian territory, with the argument that crimes committed on the internet have a “diffuse character”.

- Inquiry 4874 does not investigate any specific fact. It was opened to investigate “fake news, slanderous denunciations and infractions covered by animus calumniandi, diffamandi e injuriandi affecting the honor and security of the Supreme Court, its members and their families”. No act or crime is specified, so the inquiry is a wildcard that can be (and is) used against anyone who is considered an enemy of the court.

- The Brazilian constitution specifies that the Supreme Court can only judge those with “privileged jurisdiction” (the president, vice-president, cabinet members, senators, congressmen, etc). However, Inquiry 4879 has judged and convicted many people who do not fall under that special jurisdiction.

- In Brazil you cannot choose a judge according to your preferences. In the Supreme Court, one must be selected at random, according to the court’s internal regiment. This has not happened in Inquiry 4879, as justice Dias Toffoli specifically chose justice Alexandre de Moraes to handle the investigation.

The irregularities above have turned the Brazilian Supreme Court into a kangaroo court.

Brazil is no longer a democracy.

I wish they'd just focus on UX.

I shazamed a song at the airport yesterday, and opened spotify once I'd taken my seat. Realising it would be good to listen to this during the flight, I scrambled to download it. But nup. Spotify wasn't having it. No 'download' button anywhere. Running out of time until take off, I googled, scanned the top 4 articles, mostly guff, and still nothing (google mostly thought I wanted to illegally download music out of spotify). Anyway, in desperation, tried chatGPT, it said go to the three dots and select download. I tried but there's no download option.

So long story short I couldn't download it. Why are basic things so hard.

It doesn't work that way. Travellers are entitled to 25% restitution if they arrive at their destination station between 1 and 2 hours later than planned, 50% reduction if delayed by more than 2 hours. It does not matter how they arrive there, either using their originally scheduled services or some alternative ("ersatz"), it is the time of arrival that matters.

I spent 10+ years in a job where I would get about 10,000 emails per week. Eventually I just gave up. I get fewer now, but don’t even try. I scan the subject lines maybe once every day or two to see if I missed anything important.

If a company wants me to read emails, they need a email culture than only sends useful emails. When 99.9% are not important, eventually people will stop looking.
