> But 'a distraction from fines'? Fines do nothing to help those affected by such breaches

Bigger fines. Fines that bankrupt the company. Note: bankrupt. Not shut down. Clean out the shareholders and upper management, possibly spin some stuff off or even break it up. (There is this popular conception that bankruptcy means an F-35 bombs the company’s offices and factories and it’s plain wrong.)

Corporate death penalty is a distraction from bigger fines.

Israel left Gaza before, I don't think it will happen again soon. Palestinians will also not work in Israel anymore in the foreseeable future at least.

It is not a question about which lives are worth more. There are a lot of indications that Palestinian lives are worth more in Israel than in Gaza for that matter.

To blame this attack on Israel is quite callous and I don't believe you that you care about any lives in that region. It just doesn't add up, but that is just my opinion.

If it wasn't fundamentalism, what do you think motivated the attacks?
> With an intern, I don’t need to measure how good my prompting is, we’ll usually interact to arrive to a common understanding.

With interns you absolutely do need to worry about how good your prompting is! You need to give them specific requirements, training, documentation, give them full access to the code base... 'prompting' an intern is called 'management'.
They are not. The proposal text itself doesn't mention taxing "the 1% richest" or any threshold at all really. It's quite vague on the specifics:

> Firstly, we call on the European Commission to draft a proposal for a directive establishing a European excess wealth tax, based on Article 115 TFEU.

In any case, the proposal is for a wealth tax, so income is irrelevant. I think the proposed wealth threshold for taxation is supposed to vary by country.
That's a good idea for how the ultra rich can pay taxes without forcing them to liquidate stock, and at least addresses the core of the problem.

But if the stock "shared" with the tax collector paid enough in dividends to cover the taxes, couldn't they just pay the taxes with the dividends to begin with?

How does sharing the stock help? Wouldn't the tax collector need to liquidate the stock to get any actually value from it?
The systemd config is default and it should dump core and logs a message that it dumped core but I have not been able to find it. Usually core dumps are in
/var/lib/systemd/coredump but the directory is empty.

The server has ECC memory and there are no messages in the syslog about ECC failures.
The SEGV occurred on two consecutive days when systemd was reloading so for the moment I find it unlikely that memory may be the root cause but looking at a core dump would certainly help. Where is it?

> At just 18 years old Gauss used a heptadecagon to solve a classic problem that had stumped mathematicians for more than 2,000 years.

where the words "stumped mathematicians" are hyperlinked to the article "Prime Number Puzzle Has Stumped Mathematicians for More Than a Century" that you're talking about, even though there's no real connection at all between the problem Gauss solved and the one Yitang Zhang worked on -- they've just linked the two because of the word "stumped" it looks like. (Well prime numbers turn up in both but the problems are not really related beyond that.)

You are right in tha aspect that terrorism doesn't care about excuses (at least externally, it needs to justify its actions to its "follower base" though).

I have an intuition that the grandparent tried to express someting like:

Now Hezbollah has a motivation to attack Hungarian interest in the EU.

Yep that's my line of thinking, if you have physical access it's game over for security anyway (evil maid etc). Whether the kernel recognizes SysRq or CAD or whatever else is a matter of a patch, X11 or Wayland can't intercept (that's the entire point of having a very very low level kernel routine for that).

The funky part would be the user space integration, the kernel would probably have to selectively resume a couple key processes or take over the display with its own/embedded one. Sounds like too brittle and/or extra bloat.

I never thought I'd consider Windows 95 technically superior in some area, but holy hell that system ran in 4mb of memory and did one (even if only one) thing right.

You could argue that this is no longer the case once the model is done; the cost per request will go down over time, as the set amount of power and coolant pumped through data centres gets divided over more people.

However, AI companies can't afford to stand still. They have to keep training or they risk being made irrelevant by whatever AI company comes next.

Furthermore, a non-significant amount of energy and cooling is being used for generating responses as well. It's plainly obvious when you run even the very modest AI models at home how much power these things take.

The paper[1] mentions the statistics used to calculate these numbers. It has a separate column for inference, with numbers ranging from 10mL to 50mL of water per inference depending on the data centre sampled.

The numbers seem bad, but the authors also call out that more transparency is needed. With all the bad rep out there from independent estimations and no AI companies giving detailed environmental impact data, I have to assume the real cost is worse than estimated, or companies would've tried to greenwash themselves already.

Ask HN: Configuration engine that doesn't depend on interpreted language?
Hello HN,

I have been looking for a flexible configuration engine for bare-metal and VMs that doesn't depend on an interpreted language to run. That means no Ansible (Python), Puppet (Ruby), CFEngine (Python), Chef (Ruby), Salt (Python). Something cross-platform (i.e., BSD support) and with a smaller learning curve compared to Nix, Guix, and derivatives would be ideal.

Any suggestions?

Nurse practitioners are the overused. If you are on medicaid, at least in my state, you are almost guranteed to be seen by a nurse practitioner rather than an actual pyschiatrist. Even if you aren't on medicaid, which medicaid is usually better than any other marketplace insurance for selection of providers and service, getting seen by a nurse practitioner is very common.

Additionally, while many may be knowledgable about the medications they prescribe, I have had nurse practitioners prescribe me medication they didn't even know existed, as in during my session I asked for a specific medication based on a personal recomendation from a freind in the field, they didn't know what the medication was and looked up on google and then prescribed it to me.

There are good nurse practitioners, but they simply should not be prescribing long term pyschiatric medication with the level of schooling they have.

It takes 2 years to become a nurse, and 3 years to become a nurse practitioner. Additional certification is required to prescribe certain medications, but even then the amount of training and classes a nurse practitioner will take to understamd medications is very small compared to a psychiatrist.

It's absurd. NP's have been the solution to psychiatist shortage and it seems no one cares. Most likely, because anyone who knows is zombified by SSRIs by shit NPs or is in the medical field so their vision is already clouded by bias. Nurse takeover is a joke. Anybody with 2-3 years of schooling should be relagated to changing bedpans and putting in IVs. Not functioning as psuedo doctors.
Also, some security measures requested by Apple to manufacturers in other countries are probably illegal in the USA.

> If this is terrorism, then we’re essentially saying any warfare is terrorism.

terrorism is primarily violence targeted at civilians, while legitimate acts of war targets military personnel (but could have civilians as collateral).

In this particular case, the pagers are targeted at non-civilian personnel, but has some civilian casualties.

Hezbollah rocket attacks, on the other hand, seems to be targeting civilians first, and military personels second (if they are accurate enough for such).

Indeed, that is going to be a problem once the average European starts retiring under the current pension systems, with an increasingly aging population that won’t be able to cover the costs of the required pensions.

Instead of promoting and incentivizing savings, this measure actually punishes the few who have managed to accumulate savings to survive in such a complicated future.

I cannot believe that my fellow citizens support these impoverishing initiatives.
> That's why, for example, the benchmark implements its own collections, because we want to know how fast the interpreter is. Otherwise, as you have noticed, the result is randomly influenced by how much compute a particular application can delegate to the FFI.

That sounds like the exact opposite of what I would want as a user of the language: the benchmark completely abstracts the actual behaviour of the runtime, claiming purported gains which don’t come anywhere near manifesting when trying to run actual software.

I’m not implementing my own collections when `dict` suffices, and I don’t really care that a pure python version of `re` runs faster in graal than in cpython, because I’m not using that.

So what happens is I see claims that graalpython runs 17 times faster than cpython, I try it out, it runs 6 times slower instead, and I can only conclude that graal is a worthless pile of lies and I should stop caring.
ahh ok, well maybe not python but you get the idea.
> If U.S. cash is useful, so are dollars in a bank.

This is a strong assumption. So far I've experienced three cases of loosing access to my money in the bank for various reasons and I also witnessed one more case with my parents 25 years ago. In all four cases the cash was still useful, losing between 0% and 70% of the value.

None of that was in US of course, but I still think that your range of scenarios is too narrow.

Does anyone else have a hard time accepting these calculations? I don’t doubt the serious environmental costs of AI but some of the claims in this infographic seem far-fetched. Inference costs should be much lower than training costs. And, if a 100-word email with GPT-4 requires 0.14 kWh of energy, power AI users and developers must be consuming 100x as much. Also, what about running models like Llama-3 locally? Would love to see someone with more expertise either debunk or confirm the troubling claims in this article. It feels like someone accidentally shifted a decimal point over a few places to the right.
I'd be interested to hear exactly what it is that Thomas Piketty has done that makes you call him notorious.

Piketty's writing is deep and profound. It is well-researched. It makes sense. It has had a real effect on my own thinking. It has been widely acclaimed by The New York Times, The Economist, The Financial Times, The New Yorker, …

The criticism I've seen of Piketty are typically shallow and hand-wavy, usually by people who have clearly done no more than skim-read the introduction to Capital. Capital is a giant 500+ page book—every claim it makes is backed up by extraordinary detail.

Piketty's main claim is simple: the world economy is completely unbalanced, bringing misery to most of its inhabitance. He explains how this imbalance is the result of Global Capitalism running amok without any checks or balances. Would anyone sane disagree with this premise in a world about to see its first trillionaire?

Modern economic thinking is dominated by economists who seem to wilfully misunderstand how capitalism is failing humanity and damaging the planet. They seem scared to point out the obvious fact that in a world of trillionaires expecting interest on their capital, their capital will bleed the world dry.

Maybe you should read Capital before you dismiss one of the most influential thinkers of the past few decades.

These are ideas worth discussing. Many countries are moving away from ONE exam- once, or in a narrow time frame. For example, the research entry test, CSIR NET, in India is now taken twice a year, as opposed to once earlier, medicine entrance test did away with the age limit, and attempt limit. From this year, the final school exam at Senior year (12th standard) in my state becomes semester based, two tests- as opposed to one test once.

What I absolutely despise is having metrics on the admission that are highly, highly skewed against the poors, like lifelong A's, school presidency, music performance, other co-curriculars, and so on.

And the focus on increasing diversity at the cost of ability.

I know many who could climb the socio economic ladder due to test based admission. And in significant numbers, not like the ~5 taken by Harvard in each meaningful program a year.
You are right in the context of the power NP's have compared to regular doctors. The primary difference in an NP and a doctor practically is pay. They do so much similar stuff, even though they shouldn' be allowed to. NP's prescribing meds, like a child with bazooka shooting at mentally ill people.

> other major producers could replicate this tactic

it's an inefficient tactic that actual terrorists won't employ tbh. Infiltrating manufacturers just to place small explosives isn't terror inducing - and you want the recipient of the explosion to know who it came from for a terrorist attack to be effective.

Israel did it to limit the amount of collateral (instead of shooting a missile or bomb, which would require a much larger radius of damage).
This is all one conflict, it does not make sense to treat this as an isolated conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. And it is dishonest [1] to portray the conflict as Israel resisting various groups that want Israel removed from the map and not mention that the Israel similarly wants Palestine removed from the map. And I am not sure how one can dispute this as the Israelis themselves say it. When the State of Israel was established, Ben-Gurion was hoping that Israel will eventually encompass all of Mandatory Palestine and today Netanyahu says in no uncertain terms that there is no room for an independent Palestinian state. And the actions in between do not paint a different picture either, whether it is the construction of settlements to further fracture the land or to support of Hamas in order to weaken the PLO.

[1] This is not necessarily an accusation of the commenter I replied to, maybe they just deemed it unnecessary to mention. I think it is worth mentioning to not create a skewed image for people unfamiliar with the conflict, that is why I wrote my comment. However reading it again I have to admit that the wording is far from perfect.
