Just navel gazing here maybe there is case precedent or law here.

The debtor generally deserves their case to be discharged resolved liquidated closed and done forever.

Paying ongoing reparations in royalties or whatever the onion proposes doesn’t accomplish this. Alex Jones himself could convert his case to a chapter 13 and set up a “repayment” plan based on his own anticipated/potential earnings from his own business. It would possibly even be higher, infowars intended audience is probably more profitable than people laughing at infowars on Ben Collins bluesky feed.

The people who got a personal judgment aren’t made whole by a promise of future restitution by someone purchasing his business assets.

What if the onion went bankrupt next year and said oh we’re not going to pay that anymore?

That would be an interesting case to test: a person being relieved from a fraud or criminal tort, as it’s handed off to a third party buying their business, who themselves didn’t commit fraud or a criminal tort and merely became insolvent which is dischargeable.

In the case where the “creditors” own the asset to settle their claim, that’s another story, whether they make $1 or a billion dollars disposing of it is no longer the debtors problem

In the same way that returning my smashed up uninsured car to a secured lender doesn’t make them whole for my discharged loan either.
When I started selling them, 50% was CNC, 40% was me and a bandsaw, 10% was me and a sander.

After a 20 months of optimizations, its now 80% CNC, 20% sander. There is a specific product that my CNC barfs on 100% of the time, so I have to do a batch of like 30 at once so the failures don't have any real impact. My next big purchase will be a small drum sander ($1500) so that I can leave an onion skin (1/16" - 1/8" thick) on the bottom of my stock and let the sander remove it. But I need a good Christmas season to make that happen.
That’s a lot of text to say “yes, it didn’t go to the highest bidder.“
It's a big number for sure, but I wouldn't try and extract too much meaning from it. A `docker pull` by itself can mean anything or nothing.
Yes, there's a lot of proprietary information that is not publicly published. There's a lot of information that languishes unseen in archives and libraries. And there's a lot of stuff that isn't there because, well, nobody has actually figured it out yet.
> Isn't it telling that the same judge said it was done improperly? Trustees have an obligation to follow standard practices which maximize cash flow or at least don't give the appearance of impropriety.

This is incorrect - trustees have an obligation to maximize the benefit to debtors. You'll see common examples of non-monetary benefit when it comes to wills - a cabinet that may be valued at 150$ but has immense sentimental value may be given to inheritors even if there is a 200k bid on it if that is what the beneficiaries all agree to.

You are treating debt discharging too literally like a numbers game - there are other important factors and in this case all the debtors were aligned and would have clearly preferred the deal with the lower monetary value.
Not sure what your last remark means wrt everything else.
Show HN: CamelAI – Perplexity for Your Data
camelAI turns your database into an AI data analyst. Ask questions in plain English, get instant reports with visualizations - no SQL required.

Why we built this:
- Business teams waste hours waiting for data analysts to build dashboards
- Non-technical founders can't get quick insights from their own data
- Writing SQL queries is a barrier to data-driven decisions

What makes it different:
- Uses DuckDB to query terabytes in seconds (built-in, no setup needed)
- Supports advanced analytics (cohort analysis, statistical computations) not just basic SQL
- Multi-turn conversations: AI explores your schema, analyzes results, and creates interactive charts
- Explains its reasoning and suggests follow-up analyses

Tech details:
- Query engine: DuckDB for lightning-fast analytics
- AI: Claude Sonnet for chat agent, o1 for report generation
- Native connectors: Postgres, MySQL, Supabase, BigQuery (beta) (more to come)
- Also supports: CSV, Excel (beta)

Video demo: https://camelai.com/demo/
Try it free (10 messages/week): https://app.camelai.com

Example questions you can ask:
- "What's driving our recent user churn?"
- "Show me conversion rates by marketing channel"
- "Which features correlate with user retention?"

We're a team of ex-Apple/Google engineers who believe data analysis shouldn't require a CS degree. Would love HN's feedback, especially on our query generation and accuracy.
Indeed. That's my understanding, too.

However, my sentiment is rather this: I wouldn't pass an assembly programming interview, but I know enough about it so that I know what I don't know. Same with embedded programming, fpgas, machine learning stuff, big data, networking, etc etc.

As for LLMs and quantum computing, I don't even know the basics, have no idea about the broader science behind it. Worst is that I don't feel like it interests me, I don't feel excited about it.

I guess if tomorrow I had to work with them, I could learn some "libraries that hide the complexity", but it leaves me with an empty feeling about these new technologies. Hence the existential question if I'm "too old for this" career path at all.
I’d think some combination of all of the above, but would love to know how valuable the order flow is from an indexer – it’s gotta be worth way less than from, e.g., Robinhood right?
I agree, and ever the problem is folks are unwilling to grasp that. Making workloads idempotent is apparently too difficult.
Nothing in the order says the accounting of the bid value was wrong it was mostly the form of the auction taking place as a single sealed bid round that the judge seems to quibble with. Counting debt as part of the bid is also not that unusual or weird, banks will bid their outstanding debt on foreclosure auctions all the time to get control of the house and sell it normally.
> "We'll soon be releasing real-time and historical forecasts from GenCast, and previous models, which will enable anyone to integrate these weather inputs into their own models and research workflows."

They will give you the weights and code not the forecast - your quote is incomplete.

Its either a temporary gift to the community until its adopted then charge for it OR they know most orgs can integrate that into their products therefore requiring to buy google products IF it works as they say it does.
Stealing from an earlier comment of mine [1] in case you want to read the comments.

Alex Jones declared in court that his show reaches about a hundred million people. If that's true then he's paying $10 for every person who heard him defaming the families of dead children.

This would be the same principle as those fines in Nordic countries sometimes that depend on how rich someone is. If you can influence one hundred million people and use that power in a criminally irresponsible way, you get a proportionate fine.

PHP is a mature, established language. There is a large ecosystem of developers that actively use it, and large scale projects built on top of it. It is certainly not dead nor dying. It is just mature.

It is probably past its growth phase, nothing wrong with that. There is a very long list of languages that are arguably "better" that will never have a fraction of the success PHP enjoyed, will never see thr growth PHP saw, and will never be as widely used.

I don't even like PHP btw. But the HN crowd has some very warped view of how things actually are when it comes to programming languages and how popular/successful they are.
I'm afraid you are preaching to the choir my friend, this is the platform of "entrepreneurs" after all.
I think the author's intent is that the color's existence isn't optional. Rather, it should be available with it's usage optional (as needed).

There are some who really want to replace annoying old democracy with an exciting new product named "Our Democracy". It's almost, but not quite, entirely unlike democracy.
Not really. We don’t touch customer money- we just print and mail checks on their behalf.

We do require bank verification via Plaid, which proves the user has a valid username and login to their bank.

We perform further KYC checks for suspicious payments.
Oh boy something new to try in KSP. Funny I've never seen anyone do this, maybe the imperfect simulation means its never more efficient (in-game).

> the image is rebuilt from scratch each time?

That's not what parent is saying.

A Dockerfile usually start off with a base image, like:

FROM php

This will pull the php base image, which is already built and published, from dockerhub.

I guess this makes sense if you are familiar with Docker.
There are two points. You got the first one, which is controllability. The components are controllable and programmable. But second it's important to appreciate the difference between simulating 10^23 classical billiard balls with a computer (very hard, C * 10^23 work for some C) and simulating 10^23 quantum mechanical atoms (C * d^(10^23) work for some C and some d). Those numbers are very different.
I thought the other reason was that some creditors were trying to use their debt forgiveness as a credit to purchase inforwars. Which obviously doesn't make sense in a bankruptcy, since the whole point is the creditors are not going to get paid back 100%.
My point is going over your head. Pledging money that you will never receive to get over the finish line is not the best offer. You could not consider such debt in any other purchase. Going back to that example, if the guy owed $2B pledged to buy the asset for $500M and the other one didn't even know about the auction, or instead pledged $501M, then the one who was owed less would be stealing from the one who was owed more. The fact that neither of them has any actual money is another very troublesome point on its own, as is the fact that the bidding was completely private. There might have been someone willing to pay 10x the winning bid for InfoWars in actual cash and been out of the loop.

Put it in any other context. Do you think a bank would issue a loan whose repayment was contingent on income from an individual who was seeking relief in bankruptcy? Obviously they would not. The court has an obligation to not accept fugazi money to buy real assets.
In your theoretical framework you can. In real-life bankruptcy court, you almost certainly can't.
This was very obnoxious. What I meant to say was, there's a great Jon Early comedy bit about this.

> For a "dead" language, PHP sure seems to have a lot of life left in it!

I honestly have not met, in real life, anyone that has thought PHP is dead. People that hated PHP? Oh yeah, I've met plenty of such people, often from using it in anger in pre-7+ days. And, (to be fair) for a language nerd, even new PHP is not exactly an exciting language. It's productive, but so very far from glamorous.

But dead? How can it be? Wordpress is an absolute behemoth. Laravel is large. Symphony finds plenty of use in the biggishOrg space. Even Drupal is not dead. Who in their right mind could think it's dead?
Doesn't it take memory protection hardware to trap on a memory read?
Ken Shirriff Tracks Down Intel's Infamous Pentium FDIV Bug in the Silicon Itself
The article states that "this question was originally set in a maths exam, so the answer assumes some basic assumptions about formal logic." This is a funny way of phrasing it, but should make it sufficiently clear to any perceptive reader of The Guardian that they are supposed to ignore the colloquial interpretation of the phrase.

At any rate, it would hardly qualify as a puzzle if the answer was so obvious
The only thing improper about the process was that Jones tried to screw around with it instead of actually cooperating with the legal system. The judge rightfully came down on him like a ton of bricks for his behavior. Follow court orders and provide evidence when it’s required. If you don’t, you’re going to lose your case.
I don't disagree with you. But I have also opened screentime on some of those people with "no time" and it has 15+ hours on ticktok this week...

There are legitimately busy people and then there are people who wish they could achieve X if only they had time but don't put any effort into making time for that.

HINT: if research is directly related to your job, allocate time to it during working hours, those aren't 40-45 hours of time a company gets to take from you and also get benefits from your out of work time. I'm reasonably sure your boss would happily let you allocate an hour every now and then to improving yourself as an employee and if they don't, well... The internet has their usual answer to that even though I don't always agree.
Layers are pulled.

If foolang image has:

layer c
layer d
layer e

And then fooadmin image is FROM foolang:latest (and the more stuff) and builds the layers:

layer f
layer g

... then a user pulling fooadmin pulls layers g,f,e,d,c,b,a (b and a being layers provided by the image that foolang was built on top of).

The question is then "does the pull of layer e in docker pull foo admin count as part of docker pull foolang?"
Stange that the article opens with a picture of the The Matrix DVD, but then doesn't mention it in the text. This was actually the first DVD I bought (even though back then I didn't have a DVD player, just a DVD drive for my PC) and spent hours exploring the extras. Looks like I wasn't the only one who was impressed: https://theextras.buzzsprout.com/1781599/episodes/9714540
Nope. Lob doesn’t have instant bank verification which was a deal breaker for us.

In fact there are several providers that offer checks via api but none of them worked for us, so we rolled our own :)

Except the person I responded to specifically said he was responding to the headline. If it really is the PayPal mafia taking over and not them subservient to them as a part of the Trump Administration, that would be bad.

Fast recharge and high capacity long life batteries.

Reliably getting 300-400 mile range (even in cold), getting 250 miles range in 10-15 minutes of fast charging, and seeing batteries comfortably make it to 150k miles with small degradation.

Unfortunately people seems to really care about edge cases (What if I have to unexpectedly drive 400 miles on a frozen January evening?), so until EVs can easily cover those bases, people are really trigger shy.
Python Libraries and Tools of 2024
Yes and no.

No, because ISO never said it must behave this way.

Yes, because every libc I've personally encountered acts this way. At a glance, glibc's x86 implementation[1, 2], musl, and picolibc all handle 0-length memcpy as you'd expect.
I'm sure other folks could dig up the code for Newlib, uclibc, and others, and they'd see the same thing.

On a related note, ISO C has THREE different things that most people tend to lump together as "undefined behavior." They are:

Implementation-defined behavior: ISO doesn't require any particular behavior, but they do require implementations to consistently apply a particular behavior, and document that behavior.

Unspecified behavior: ISO doesn't require any particular behavior, but they do require implementations to consistently use a particular behavior, but they don't require that behavior to be documented.

Undefined behavior: ISO doesn't require any particular behavior, and they don't require implementations to define any particular behavior either.

Compare sota LLMs on web dev tasks
WebDev Arena lets you compare models like Claude Sonnet, GPT-4o, Qwen, or Gemini for free.

It compares the models on web dev tasks of your chice (e.g. "create a productivity tracker app" or "make a data analyst dashboard"), lets you vote for the best result, and then reveals which model created which result.

It's built with E2B as the runtime for generating the apps by executing the LLM's code in the sandbox environment.

every time you introduce something nonstandard, you add one little hardship to anyone trying to read or modify your code.

if a programmer is familiar with the language, it's standard library, and the normal idioms, then they should be able to just jump in.
>I have no problem with well-meaning, but dumb people in local government jobs.

Really? Surely you can see the issue when those "well-meaning, but dumb people" start instituting dumb policies that are counterproductive? Or did you mean to say that it was preferable to smart people with bad intentions?
It wasn't a billion dollars for a single thing, it was awards to 15 different defendants, ranging from ~30-120 million each.

More importantly, you're missing that this was a default judgment - Jones didn't defend himself, so the award is kind of the theoretical maximum. The results aren't comparable to regular court cases where both sides make their case.
> We all know its probably best in most cases to keep any vehicle, even one that is inefficient, on the road for its useful life.

I didn’t know this until this thread. And I feel like I’ve heard people say things like they are going to improve the environment by ditching their current car for an EV, not because they’re planning on getting rid of their car anyways.
I appreciate you doing peer review of their claims. I have a few questions about the supremacy claim.

Are there good write-ups on the random, sampling problem that would help implement its get started?

What are the top classical algorithms, esp working implementations, for this problem?

Have the classical implementations been similarly peer reviewed to assess their performance?
Yeah, we don't have that in Sweden except for criminal acts, and then the fines are a certain number of days of your income as a substitute for imprisonment.

In civil cases our judgements are usually not enormous.

I don't feel that your reasoning above makes the judgement more reasonable. Maybe he does reach that many people, but he obviously makes nowhere near that amount of money and it's out of line with other defamation judgements.
I say cash loosely speaking. You at least cannot pledge income from debt that is presently being negotiated down or cancelled. That kind of thing isn't "value" because it's imaginary.
7XX HTTP Status Codes for Developer Fails
This point is futile though.

Changes are high that your country is a kleptocracy or dictatorship, or has a very weak system. Huge wealth imbalance is a STRONG MARKER of malformed governance.

A well functioning democracy has way less income inequality. Desperate people do not have the "luxury" of being a democratic participant.

That is why autocracies love miserable, poor people.
Show HN: Leica M2Pi: upgraded MPi digital-film camera, source release
This post presents several upgrades to the Leica MPi, a Leica M2 with a Raspberry Pi-powered digital back. The most notable upgrade is a larger sensor capable of capturing daylight photos in color. Other upgrades include an internal battery and support for external accessories like a flash. To enable collaboration and replication, I am open-sourcing instructions for the hardware and software through the project's repository. To open support for project, I am also releasing a zine of work from the camera.

How fast is it? Does it process what I am saying in realtime?
If so, it's one that's been introduced at some point post C99 -- the C99 spec explicitly defines the behaviour of NULL == NULL. Section 6.5.9 para 6 says "Two pointers compare equal if and only if both are null pointers, both are pointers to the same object [etc etc]".

Alex Jones' loss of infowars has been rejected by the judge, who seems intent on handing it to the assets Jones transferred to his parents to shield them instead. You might want to reevaluate.
Not the commenter, but AFAIK, people with some condition might have to put significantly more effort, at least at the beginning, to get equivalent result.
The typical case would be for overweight/obese people. While mobility and strength always help, it won't counter balance all the strain that the extra weight put on your body.
It will be more efficient to focus on getting lean first, and then focusing on strength/mobility. Although it is possible to do both (and maybe recommended ? But i am way out of my depth here).
