Japanese war crimes are in the past. They are real and significant.
You could claim the apologies Japan offered to China are undermined by incidents of nationalists denying the crimes(compare to Germany's apologies which are often considered to be among the better ones) or the reparations offered were not enough(china turned them down). I think that can be debated.
But Japan isn't doing anything today.

Japan is for all of its faults a liberal democratic country with no interest in conquering anyone. China is an authoritarian dictatorship getting worse (under the later years of Xi) and threatening imperialist actions especially against the independent nation of Taiwan(some parallels to Russia getting worse under later years of Putin and starting an imperialist war against Ukraine).
OK, and the new guys are good? They are going to make a western democracy there?

Now it’s impressive.
Manufacturers' discount coupons are a fairly common thing in the US. But if the patient is on any kind of government medical assistance program (Medicare & Medicaid being the two big ones), they're not eligible.

My bit of anecdata is the insured price of $1249/month for a drug whose manufacturer would sell me for $40/month - if only I weren't on Medicare. $14,988/year vs. $480/year. Sucks.
The Ottomans taking loans from the Russians, their traditional enemy, seems odd. I know they were reluctant allies when fighting Napoleon, but I've never heard of such a financial arrangement.

This just speaks to the echo chamber you built for yourself.
Setting prices by supply-and-demand and having insurance "pay for whatever is needed regardless of the cost" are incompatible. Insurance blocks the pricing cost signal back to the patient. Insurance also prevents better doctors that provide better service from charging more because the patients will pay for it.

An example: about 20 years ago I had just a major medical plan and I was at urgent care for a problem. After diagnosing the likely problem and prescribing the solution, they were about to run some tests "just in case." When I told them I would be paying for the tests due to the major medical plan, they explained that the tests didn't have any benefit, so we didn't run them.

I don't know of a real solution to these problems.

A partial solution is exposing some of the cost to the insured to create an incentive to save (like what I had when I was paying for the tests). At my company, we fully pay for a high-deductible plan AND a give company-funded contribution to a Health Savings Account that mostly covers the per-person out-of-pocket max. If the employee does not spend the HSA money (which is their money in their account), it can be used for retirement savings... so they have an incentive to save. But once someone hits the out-of-pocket max, there is no more incentive to save.

I don't know if data leakage is the right word, but maybe overfitting if they took a 1 hour clip from same place and used 90 percent for training and 10 percent for eval/test?

It is still decent way to start I think, but it needs to get more varied data after that and use different geographical locations for eval and test.
I think mise gets a lot right. I use it for environment variables, Python virtualenv creation and activation, and task scripts.

I've been a software developer for over twenty years and am usually reluctant to use new tools. But mise has been a fantastic addition to my dev workflow.

I believe, and I could be wrong about this, that JetBrains only picks up changes to your .shell_rc files on a restart.

What I learned instead was to stop using the built in terminal in WebStorm. If WebStorm crashes you’re fucked. Objectively, it never did that a lot and does less so recently, but not never.

WebStorm likes to pick up file system changes when you give it focus, so any manipulation you do in the builtin terminal doesn’t necessarily do that.

> Is there an interface for this I missed?

That would be search.sigstore.dev, unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

> Was this in fact completely made up releases that were not even intended to be triggered? Eg: a bot released .41 without there being an intent of being an actual .41 release? I thought that UltralyticsAssistant was the developer, not the attacker. Do they also control that thing?

.41 and .42 were triggered directly from the repository. One was triggered by the UltralyticsAssistant account and included a human bypass, which strongly suggests that the attacker controlled (and maybe still controls) that bot account.

The last two compromised releases were published directly via API token, not via the source repo, which strongly suggests that the attacker either exfil’d an old API token from CI/CD or that they’re in control of the developer’s account on PyPI. Those ones don’t have attestations, while the first two releases do (two each, one per dist per release).

That must be why all the stories from countries with single payer health care go, “I got my medicine without any hassle or cost” rather than “I didn’t get my medicine and I died.”
Human rights are called human rights because they are inherently granted by the sole virtue of being a human being. By their very concept, they are unconditional and inalienable. It’s what sets them apart from other rights.

It’s too easy to fabricate criteria why they shouldn’t apply to certain people. The concept of human rights was devised to designate rights whose deprivation should be impossible by definition.
This was about 15 years ago, back when I was working at $MEGACORP we had an OC-48 running to our lab. We were having some problems with it. Thanks to 20 years of near constant layoffs all details of who was responsible for that circuit on our side were lost to the sands of time.

I went down to the basement and saw a faded UUNET sticker on the demarc, but there was no circuit id on it. Some googling showed that through the years of corporate takeovers they were now owned by Verizon. So I called Verzion Business and explained the situation. The lady spent a hour on the phone with me, but we tracked down the circuit. The address listed on the circuit was a manhole up the street from our building. They dispatched a technician and we were back up and running in about an hour. They also put new circuit ID label on the demarc so we wouldn't go through that again.
Thanks, that is a good summary.

> If the program has millions of mostly independent tasks, a GPU will run it adequately and a CPU very poorly.

Now I would say:

CPU - optimized to execute threads with independent instruction streams and data use.

GPU - Optimized to execute threads with common instruction streams and data layouts.

—

CPUs

As you noted: Optimizing conditional branches is one reason CPU cores are more complex, larger.

CPUs also handle the special tasks of being overall “host”. I.e. I/O, etc.

—-

GPUs

One instruction stream over many cores greatly reduces per core footprints.

Both sides of conditional code are often taken, by different cores. So branch prediction is also dispensed with.

(All cores in a group step through all the instructions of both if-true and else-false conditional clauses, but each core only executes one branch, and is inactive for the other. Independent per-core execution, without independent code branching. Common branching happens too.)

—

Both CPU and GPU can swap between threads or thread groups, to keep cores busy.

Both optimize layers of faster individual to larger shared memory (i.e. registers, cache levels & RAM).

I can't tell. My (adult) kids and I have a fondness for technology that is older than we are.

Kids enjoy 1980s and 1990s computer tech. I briefly like the nostalgia but that's it.

>of all things that are a mess in shell, your comment mentions quoting. It’s one of the few things that absolutely make sense for me in shell scripting. Do you have an example for me where quoting feels messy to you?

1. The distinction that shell languages make between single-quotes and double quotes is unintuitive and not seen in other languages - wherein either they are interchangeable (like Python) or denote a completely separate type (like C and several others influenced by it).

2. I can't backslash-escape a single-quote within a single-quoted string. Single-quoting disables backslash-escapes that were already working outside of strings. I've lost count of the times I tried to input a command and was surprised to get a > continuation prompt because the shell thought I was still inside quotes, and then not had any good idea of how to fix my error on the previous line.

3. I can use backslash escapes in a double-quoted string, but then I'm also stuck with variable interpolations. It's difficult to produce a string that contains a literal double quote, literal dollar sign, literal at sign and literal double quote consecutively. Yes, by itself I can wrap that sequence in single quotes, but that doesn't generalize to contexts where I need more layers of quoting.

4. Really nothing generalizes very well to when you need multiple layers of quoting.

5. Not directly an issue with quoting, but there's implicit concatenation between quoted and non-quoted tokens if there's no space between the quote and the other part. This leads to many situations where you think you've gotten it right but you haven't, and don't notice until you either try to iterate on your script or carefully examine the output.

6. But you have to rely on that confusing behaviour if you need a single-quoted string that contains a literal single quote.

It's taken me quite a bit of practice to become able to do anything moderately complex, and I still have to check my notes sometimes. But really the underlying problem is that writing these things creates a demand to have some kind of internal structure within the string, so that parts of it can be further processed. It would be far nicer, for a start, if "interpolate values into the string" were an explicit operator rather than a magical property of double-quoted strings. But the main reason I end up using Python to orchestrate command-line tasks is just so I can have actual tuples or lists of strings and manipulate them on that level instead of at a textual level.
How do you determine if something is publish worthy? If someone puts in a lot of effort experimenting with something that fails, it can still seem publish worthy so others can learn what works and what doesn't. It should be more about level of effort I think. Otherwise the incentives become all wrong too.

No, it doesn't have competition from Nyx; it's a potential competitor as it will be years before it can be a competitor--and could quite easily not be a competitor then (running out of funding like so many other rocket companies).
Is "just following orders" okay now?

Any healthcare worker at least deserves to be punched in the face for involving themselves in our broken system.
Yes, the blame apportioned by the average person is screwy. But that should be clue to the experts with a more sophisticated view. What it should tell them is that health care reform schemes that rest on the average person exerting or responding to incentives are not going to work.
I fail to see how "context" can materially change whether an act is racist or not. There might be some edge cases around "dog whistles" or whatever, but hard to see how this act isn't an intentional act to dissuade chinese students from applying. That's racism. How does the history between chinese and japenese materially change this?
> just what happens

It's not "just what happens". That's a politically opportunistic narrative that seeks to incite violence and murder.

No one knows why the CEO was killed.

None of this type of reasoning justifies or begins to explain the murder even if this were the reason in the shooter's head. Morals aside, it's nonsensical reasoning in total.

You're justifying and providing propaganda support for domestic terrorism in the United States.

No, I don't believe in using authoritarian tools as a means to an end because that means you've already given up believing in the strength of your own values. At that point you've already accepted the authoritarian's point of view. They justify their measures the exact same way.

And this case in particular, anyone who reduces an 18 year old Chinese kid, who had no choice in what system they grew up in to "the CCP", not even treats them like a real individual, they have a lot of poison in their heart and I think don't care about liberty, or education or democracy as much as the pretend to do.

Yeah, I was wondering how TV-like this channel looked.

It's tempting to wrap it in fake horizontal/vertical blanking so it still looks like a TV signal (and you can send it through existing equipment that's expecting a TV signal). Essentially just Teletext but using every single line.

But what Scientific Atlanta created is much closer to cable internet. The total bandwidth number is notable, each 6Mbit carrier uses 3Mhz of bandwidth, so the two of them add up to 6Mhz, which is how much bandwidth a standard NTSC channel occupies.

I suspect this is because they have rented a single TV channel worth of bandwidth on the Galaxy 7 satellite for disruption to local cable companies.

Splitting into two 3Mhz carriers has the additional advantage of allowing the receiver design to be simpler, it only needs to tune into one at any time.
Even if that were true, doesn't necessarily mean any and all Christians are antisemitic.

I have two problems with Mise: There isn't a page with the most common commands I might want to run, and whenever I try it, some Python imports mysteriously fail. Then I disable it, and everything is fine again.

Ask HN: What SOM Makes Startups Attractive to VCs?
Hi HN,

I'm working on a healthcare startup targeting doctors, hospitals, and clinical trials. I've built a bottom-up approximation of market size and have estimated my Total Addressable Market (TAM), Serviceable Available Market (SAM), and Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM).

I have two questions for the community:

What SOM is considered attractive to VCs investing in startups?
Is there a threshold (e.g., $100M, $200M, etc.) that investors typically look for?

What percentage of SOM should a startup aim to capture within 5 years to be viewed as a good investment opportunity?

I’d love to hear from founders, investors, or anyone who’s been through this journey in healthcare or similar industries. Any benchmarks, advice, or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!

Are we simply another AI agent that doesnt solve a problem?
hey college student from Cal here
was building something for a 3-month hackathon with friends and tryna see if its a useful problem to keep working on

we built an agent that can help
1) act as a technical pm, answer questions about code for developer and company, give directions on stack, technical designs decisions, other coding decisions etc based on ongoing code and goal
2) can auto create repo with starter code, based on comapny goal, generate test cases, different qa, verification and validation methods, perform quality assurance, and check functionality, for example we had a web app, walked through it with selenium bot to test functionality
3) bot which can merge code between multiple users to integrate code and prod level code

on a technical level, our project is pretty cool, but looking for some advice from the smart people in the room

r we another ai agent providing very little value
Those people are probably reading the same websites as you.

I swear, users of a site have no kind of memory. Literally a month ago everyone on reddits jaw was agape as trump was declared the winner. After months of redditors telling each other Kamala would win in a landslide and Trump was floundering, and no one was coming to his rallies, etc.

And now they're doing the same thing, telling each other that everyone in America loves that a dude was murdered in the street of NY(with a gun, literally 3' away from a random individual)
other countries seem like getting a much better deal than Americans.

in fact the same drugs are sold 10-100x cheaper outside US
China and Japan have vastly different political systems.

You have to remember that East Germany and Poland were both communist governments up until quite recently and during that time they were not allies with Germany and France.

The USA also brokered peace in Europe by providing military security and access to the largest free trade market in the world. It was a pretty good deal for European countries.

This may be pure speculation, but it also appears that China and Japan are culturally further apart than European countries.
>I don't understand why the insurance company is the one to decide when and how to cap the costs.

Because the insurance company is basically the only entity who has skin in the game.

>Sure premiums will go up, but the conversation should then shift to why does a 15 min ambulance ride cost $5,000 instead of fighting about whether or not an insurance company is going to cover it.

And the response if this is all covered would be "who cares? my insurance is covering it anyways". The patient doesn't have any incentive to choose a cheaper hospital, because he won't see any of the savings.
I don't think there is any country outside the US where a healthcare system would have paid for his untested two biologic combination. Do you have any examples?
This keeps being postponed. For some reason Chrome OS isn’t being ported to Android devices. Motorola tried their take. Microsoft tried the windows phone thingy. Nokia had the N900 Linux phones. Even Android was supposed to run a Windows 11 VM just fine. Microsoft killed the Surface Neo. There was a phone shaped Windows PC called the Emporium or something, killed too.

This whole space has been cursed. You can hack some old Nokias or Androids to run windows on arm and have driver issues. You can use a handheld pc console like the GPD Win and get the LTE addon. But there’s no “this phone is a PC“ offering that is really viable.

I suppose having a Pinephone and running Linux is the best option right now.

I used a lap dock for a while (UPERFECT) which allowed me to plug a device via usb c and it would turn the phone into a basic laptop.

I wish there were serious efforts.
