Biden administration are the very same people who pressured social media companies into censorship[1]. Tens of seemingly serious people swearing that Hunter's laptop story is misinformation.

Who cares if your traffic gets a little more or less shaped when the platforms you're accessing are all neutered? Who cares how much Netflix has to pay for bandwidth when Amazon can just delete entire platforms, like they did with Parler?

"So-called open internet advocates" is the right phrase here because the Internet borne by these rules was anything but open. This policy is very much like the cookie warning in the EU, completely failed to deliver meaningful benefits.

Is reliably detecting if code has any infinite loops feasible? Sounds like the halting problem.
Defaulting on the debt is not going to happen but the consequences of avoiding default will not be good.

Of course, DOGE isn't really going to do anything to fix this either. Complete theater that the fixes will low and behold happen to work in the financial interest of those running DOGE.

The young who don't think the debt matters are almost guaranteed at this point to have to deal with US fiscal dominance in their lifetime. That is going to be a brutal lesson in youthful ignorance and stupidity.
Division Isn't So Bad
I bet that they haven’t done it openly (maybe we haven’t discovered it yet?) because it’s a hot issue.

But there are examples where net neutrality has protected consumers.

In 2012, At&T blocked FaceTime on its network unless you were on one of its expensive plans.

> An AT&T spokeswoman, speaking on background, disputed it was using cellular FaceTime as a "premium" feature, but acknowledged the company was using it as a lever to get users to switch over to the new plans which charge for data usage in tiers.

As a follow-up to my custom track editor for the Donkey Konga games, I spent part of the holiday season working on a launcher to make playing custom tracks in the games easier and released a beta build just before Christmas: https://parham.itch.io/kongabeat/devlog/853452/konga-beat-10...

My goal now is to ship the 1.0 release in the next month or two and post the source code on GitHub under the MIT license.

This is basically Elon Musk's MO. Except it was shiny cars and not a screen recorder.
Fair point. Given that these values are adjusted for dividends/inflation, at least that means your retirement savings slightly outperformed the rate of inflation over 20 years.

Not a great outcome for retirement savings, but better than leaving the cash under your mattress.

Also note that the worst case 20-year return was from 1901 - 1920. If we only look back until 1990, the worst 20-year return period was +3.3% per year (rolling period ending in 2018)
Platform for Sharing Gaming Screenshots – Feedback and Early Access Offers
Hi Hacker News, I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: CaptureGame, a platform where users can share in-game screenshots and connect with fellow creators and gamers. We’re getting ready to launch the beta soon, and I’d love to get some feedback from this community before we go live. The platform allows users to upload game screenshots across 500,000+ categories, covering almost every game you can imagine. We offer both free and premium plans (premium users can upload unlimited RAW images), and posts can receive comments, encouraging interaction among users. If you’re interested, you can join our waitlist (https://www.capturega.me), and as a thank-you, early sign-ups will get access to exclusive pricing offers once we launch! I’m curious to hear your thoughts—what features would make a platform like this useful for you, and are there any ways we could improve the experience for creators and gamers alike? Looking forward to your feedback!
Great project! I’m amazed by the ingenuity of running a CNN on a TI-84 Plus CE.

Given the ez80 CPU's limitations with floating-point operations, do you think fixed-point arithmetic could significantly speed up inference without adding too much complexity?
It's a best effort thing - as anything in software.
Well, in this case it's kind of similar to how people write code. A loop consisting of writing something, reviewing/testing, improving until we're happy enough.

Sure, you'll get better results with an LLM when you're more specific, but what's the point then? I don't need AI when I already know what changes to make.
> But to me saying Google's advertising product should enforce how the individual websites work [fingerprinting], is to me more in the direction of "an electricity provider should enforce how people live their lives in any home provided by such electricity…"

That's a wild analogy.

You're talking there about what I do in my home without impacting anyone else.

With google here we're talking about companies tracking users in a way likely to be illegal.

> But to me saying Google's advertising product should enforce how the individual websites work [fingerprinting],

This is about the advertisers.
Really nice, but you could consider to move away from Big Tech altogether; there are alternatives to GitHub.
iTerm2 is the app I spend the most time for like a decade or so.

I feel bad for the developer. This is embarrassing and it totally could and probably will at some point happen to the best of us.

So I have immediately donated and subscribed to monthly donations and I encourage everyone to do so. There should be zero doubt that the author deserves our support.
In case anyone's interested, I keep a small list of indie sites here: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/places-to-find-indie-web-co...

The general quote from NASA climate scientists and others is that the recent years increase in warming is unexpected even after accounting for the reduction in marine fleet SO2 emmissions and the parallel increase in high atmosphere SO2 from a large volcanic eruption.
I've used numerous terminal emulators on both macOS and Linux. I use Neovim daily. There is no noticeable difference in scrolling performance.

Additionally, there are so many ways scrolling can slow down in Neovim (e.g., bad tmux config). It's hard to take your word for it that the issue lies in iTerm2 in the absence of any sort of reproducible evidence.
yep that is a great point! I am taking a generalized approach for now and have started to filter out food as a category.
Which is not an issue for me as 256c is my sweet spot.
This is very common in Brazil. Most carriers give free WhatsApp and Facebook access. As many Brazilians are in the cheapest plans, this basically mean that that's all they can access on their phones.
It looks to me to be exactly what a typical coding interview looks like; the first shot is correct and works, and then the interviewer keeps asking if you can spot any ways to make it better/faster/more efficient

If I were a CS student cramming for interviews, I might be dismayed to see that my entire value proposition has been completely automated before I even enter the market.
You can ask it for alternative methods and even to document their pros and cons.
No. He wanted to help DOGE dismantle the US government. People like that should just blow their money on themselves and the people they like and leave the rest of us alone.
My entire point was that we don't really have a choice -- for example, most people do not have a choice to own a phone any more. It's a practically mandatory sort of technology. So, we don't really have a choice here either, only the illusion of one.
Not in the general case, but you could detect specific common patterns.
Yes, you are right. Sometimes, reactions cause chain overreactions. We have different intensities of the situation. I checked the iTerm2 author's notes and compared them with my setup and I thought ok. It looks like I'm safe. And I moved on. But when I read your previous comment. I am now unsure because I need to know when and what changes led to this issue in the first place.

The iTerm team is just an army of one. There may be a formal analysis of the security soon.
> intentional lie

There are no “intentional” lies, because there are no “unintentional” lies.

All lies are intentional. An “unintentional lie” is better known as “being wrong”.

Being wrong isn’t always lying. What’s so hard about this? An example:

My wife once asked me if I had taken the trash out to the curb, and I said I had. This was demonstrably false, anyone could see I had not. Yet for whatever reason, I mistakenly believed that I had done it. I did not lie to her. I really believed I had done it. I was wrong.
I was like "meh" out of a simple realization that there will never be net neutrality in the US just like there are little chances of universal healthcare, maternal support and such.
Cue FAANG buying telcos.

Effectively, AT&T returns (by a very strange and expensive route).

It will be very interesting to see what effect this has on networks globally.
I think you're right on the money here. Most people are surprisingly predictable, and if your algorithm based on whatever works for at least 30% of people at least once a year, which is very low bar if you think about it, the population at large will notice
I don't think there's a chance of net neutrality happening in the US given the current political climate. Net neutrality is communism, literally. /s
The problem is, they do not think.
I've also noticed this and honestly, it kinda excites me seeing it gaining more attention again. I am really curious to the reason, my assumption has been because Ruby is going through some kind of renaissance. The performance improvements the Ruby team & Shopify did seem to have gained attraction maybe?
Still vscode, but cursor has the best implementation by far IMHO

Intellij has a new feature that lets you prompt within your code that is pretty neat too, but I'm missing the Composer/apply feature of cursor still

TLDR in RTL simulation XiangShanV3 out-performs my current desktop (Zen1) per cycle in the tested scalar benchmarks by 2x. It's probably closer to 1.5x on regular code.

This roughly matches the reported SPECint2006 scores:

* XiangShanV2: 9.55/GHz
* XiangShanV3: 15/GHz
* Zen2 [1]: 10.5/GHz at boost, 9/GHz at base frequency (closest to Zen1 I could find)

For comparison:

* Cortex-X1: 15.73/GHz
* Apple M1: 21.69/GHz
* SiFive-P670: >12/GHz
* SiFive-P870: >18/GHz
* TT-Ascalon: 18-20/GHz
* Akeana 5300: 25/GHz

Note that it's hard to find SPECint2006 scores for modern x86 or Arm cores because they all use PECint2017.

The final clock frequency obviously also has a big impact, but XiangShanV3 target 3GHz which is quite decent.
Ask HN: Who's working on/at DOGE and what do they say about it?
I'm guessing that people in the HN community must know some people who are involved with this Elon Musk DOGE thing.

If you know or know of someone who works in or is involved with DOGE, I'd love to hear about any or all of the following:

1) What do they say about what it's like as an organisation/movement?

2) What's their level of involvement, and what are they doing?

3) How did they become involved?

4) How would you describe them (career experience, personality, interests, values, etc)?

5) Are they getting paid?

6) How many people work at or are involved with DOGE?

I was inspired to ask by the discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42579873
Hey thanks, that's cause for optimism.

Can you very, very briefly tell me what the biologics are in the case - cultures?
Exactly, and likely some of these cities were destroyed by rival kingdoms we don't even know existed, if written history in other regions is anything to go by.
Agree, it is personal. I grew up in poverty and i viscerally know its negative reinforcement cycle.
I'm finding customers by existing customers recommending space. I'm going hard an competing on price. It's not easy but I don't see any other way.

The savings are enormous for our customers. https://neeto.com/neetocal/pricing-comparison

Hence many folks are switching from Calendly to NeetoCal. And same with NeetoRecord. Lots of folks have switched from Loom.
Well, assuming 24bit—or anything from a terminal emulator, really—is not a very bright strategy.
Is there any evidence that this is taking place since it's been over 7 years since it's repeal? And that it's harming competition?

I'm skeptical of introducing federal intervention preemptively as it seems like a natural extension would be censorship. If some regulatory agency is telling ISPs to allow legitimate content equally, it's not that much of a stretch to imagine they'll forbid "illegitimate" content. Think cheap fakes and other misinformation.
This must be how it sounds when I preach nuclear power as the be-all, end-all solution to our climate and energy crises.

Thank you for the insights.
The domain of FCC, as it is written in the law, to create "rapid, efficient, nationwide, and world-wide wire and radio communication services with adequate facilities at reasonable charges". It seems fairly consistent that FCC could enforce net neutrality on powers they already have in their domain, without Chevron.

The issue as given in this verdict is that the courts did not find internet service providers to be in the domain of communication services. Instead they are in the domain of information service.

Giving the FTC the power to regulate this would mean to accept this definition that internet service providers are information services rather than communication services, making an ISP a digital version of a book seller. That just seems wrong. I would say that the ideal solution is to either have the supreme court redefine internet service as communication, or have the law rewritten for the same purpose.
I'm not sure about them being garbage but I do believe very strongly that existing SaaS software is way way wayyyy overpriced. So there is an opportunity to build a simple, low price software that does less but just works.
If you think there is little difference between someone who does not believe the climate is changing and someone who can well believe it is (that's what the climate does), but isn't entirely convinced it's man-made there's not much I can do about that. Funnily enough AI returned the following on the Stefan-Boltzmann law: The Stefan-Boltzmann law is a fundamental physical law that helps explain Earth's energy balance, but it doesn't account for the greenhouse effect, which is a key part of the climate system
Anyway, I was pleased to have this pointer, and intend to look more thoroughly in to this life/fence permitting.
BTW, I do not think ad hominim attacks are the way to bring someone over to your way of thinking. Cheers.
> The tl;dr here is they also don't want to have to pay to outsource their support staff, so they're paying openai or someone else instead.

I don't think that's the right lens to view this in. Germany in particular is a very difficult market to provide customer service in, given that German-language skills outside of the high-wage DACH region is non-existent, when you compare it to the English speaking market that often relies on the acceptably-accented Phillipine region. If you want to provide customer service in Germany, it's not simply that firms aren't willing to pay enough to hire customer support staff, it's that the pool of people who could work in this field just don't exist in large enough numbers.

By introducing agentic AI to solve some number of support questions you offer patients service that you just otherwise simply couldn't.
It may sound like it but I didn't name a specific political solution. I believe that what we have now is a horrible form of crony corporate socialism-capitalism hybrid; it literally borrows the worst parts of all systems.

I think capitalism based on a hard-money system with a small government with 0% income and sales taxes would be better than what we have now. Private moneys and cryptocurrencies would be allowed and encouraged (not having income or sales tax would greatly aid adoption IMO as it would remove the need for accounting for tax purposes). Import tariffs would be the only acceptable taxes.

Given the current state of technology, I also think a communist or socialist system with some limited ownership rights (e.g. a family would be allowed to own the house they live in and a single small business) could work too. Corporations would be state-owned, passive shareholding would be outlawed.

I think either approach would be way better than what we have now.
Systematic reviews like those done by Cochrane search the literature for relevant studies then apply pre-set standards to exclude those that have a high risk of bias. That's why so few studies were included. It's not their fault that good studies haven't been done.

The answer is to do sufficiently powered RCTs to resolve the question, not conclude that masking works on the basis of low quality observational studies.
>> the takedown of large corporations and rebuilding them from scratch.

They are actually destroying themselves. Enshitification is killing Microsoft, Google, Netflix, Facebook, and more. Just build solid alternatives focused on user satisfaction instead of profit so people have viable alternatives.

You can't build anything great from scratch in less than 10 years.
Yes the fallacy here is that AI will replace eingineers any time soon. For the foreseeable future prompts will need to be written and curated by people who already know how to do it, but will just end up describing it in increasingly complex detail and then running tests against it. Doesn't sound like a future that has that many benefits to anyone.

There might be some tmux involved, yes. But the same tmux config works just fine with Kitty. Kitty also hasn't been leaking commands I've ran as DNS requests. Nor has it left my zsh history on a remote host. I don't care to investigate why iTerm2 works worse for me because I am satisfied enough with a solution that works. iTerm2 not working for me rhymes with my previous experiences with iTerm2 and its security issues.
Here is a fisheye photo from the bottom of a rainforest. As you can see, some spots of sky are visible from the bottom. When you fly above the forest and LIDAR is looking down, similarly at some spots the LIDAR laser beams are able to hit all the way to the bottom at some spots through the canopy.

It's not a big fraction, but some of the laser beams are hitting the ground, and after data processing you filter them out and they five you the ground topography profile.

Under GDPR don't they risk 10% of worldwide revenue? (Plus for a company like apple trying to be seen as the defender of privacy, the PR and reputational hit)
I fully agree with what you wrote. The question is: current laws are fit for purpose? There are many things that are wrong and supported by laws or things that can be improved but existing laws forbid that. Is this a question about net neutrality or a question about how can/should be implemented?

Same about corporate powers, especially in US where consumer protection seems to be a lot weaker than in EU, even if US has a lot more regulations.

I can’t wait till federal agencies that I don’t like get weakened with these deference rulings

At the moment I find it difficult and risky to achieve “standing” to getting the court challenges and then further take it to appeals

But I suspect it will get easier as the government stops even bothering with appeals court after these trial court cases get so consistent
You say this, but their share prices are pretty much straight lines up the last 10 years (other than a short lived dip during Covid).
How were you able to do without the source code?
This is a difficult demand to meet, because (as many people have said) the main causalities of net neutrality are the companies and platforms which never get started because potential founders rationally calculate that they can’t compete with existing zero-rated services when ISPs play favorites. Lack of NN has massive opportunity costs for innovation, but these are difficult to quantify.
> But answering your strawman: when you have a bipartisan system with both parties led by companies […]

One of the parties in the US has been pushing for net neutrality[1][2] and another has been getting rid of it.[3]

If you think the two parties are equivalent (on a variety of topics [4][5][6][7]), I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, but it is not accurate.

It has become a meme at this point, but it seems men will do anything but go to therapy. Especially here, when the author can clearly afford it, and is going through a existential crisis.

Also, if this is the cohort of people joining the DOGE initiative, I'm even more afraid that I was before.
