These are the ones I refuse to contribute to.
Honestly, to a degree I chalk this up to boys will be boys.

I had my own stint doing this type of stuff on my different schools networks growing up and it too spawned an interest that’s led me to an entire career.

You shouldn’t feel bad - you learned, you got your kicks, and developed a conscious once you knew better. If dealing with some hacks in some of the games I played meant some curious kid got their start with programming it was well worth it.

What does piss me off are the people who turn it into a living to the extent where it becomes a plague - Warzone is a perfect example. Sure, the game still makes money, but the actual “scene” is fed up with it. I get that these same type of people/hacks are what you may have briefly been a part of, but it’s still not the same thing.

A kid contributing for fun is different than orchestrating the entire thing.

My take on it at least.
Counterstrike was my first ever introduction to real life cheating. We used to do LAN parties and play mostly that. One guy came and talked about how good he was and, to his benefit, he was really really good.

Then when the guys who were taking a break started watching him, they saw that he was tracking players as they went across the other side of the map, and his gun was firing as soon as they were in view. Headshots every time.

It blew my mind for two reasons.

1. It was possible.

2. This was a party with zero point of winning. There was no prize. Why cheat?
can you explain this in with little more detail for us not familiar with this? :)
More like by 40. My relationship with even my best buds from school became empty or non existent after years of marriage and kids.
I don't remember how I ended up there but I'm sure it was a fake email.

Just copy one of Coinbase's legit emails for something like "A withdrawal of $1,200 USD has been started" and you have the perfect bait.
The false dichotomy between "need to" and "because they can" is at the root of a lot of sloppy economic thinking. It's true that businesses aren't trying to charge the bare minimum they need to survive, and that this sometimes lets them absorb the cost of providing service X for free with no hit to consumer welfare. (This can happen for both regulatory and non-regulatory reasons - furniture stores, for example, will often give you quite a bit of free employee time in hopes of catching a sale.)

It's not true that business costs are entirely fictional and consumer willingness to get hosed is the only input to their pricing models.
The communication is only necessary/important if people haven't set this as a convention in the first place. I'll say that prior to ever looking at my clues: "I will give you higher numbers than what I said if you miss by more than 1. THe number I pick will always be high enough as to allow you to, with the +1 guess you get for free, make guesses on all the words I was hinting at.

There's also all kinds of not necessarily intended communicaton from the guessers in the fact that you can listen to which words they were considering and didn't pick. Nothing in the game attempt to say that you should not consider, say, whether they were going in the right or wrong direction in their guessing, but it sure can make a difference in how to approach later clues. If they were being very wrong, there might be a need to double up on words that you intended, and that your guessers missed.

In the same fashion, nothing in the game saying that I cannot listen to those guesses as a member of the other team, whether guesser or spymaster, and then change behaviors to make sure we don't hit words they considered as candidate words without very good reasons. Let them double dip on mistakes, or not make their difficult decisions easier. It's not as if the game demands that everyone that isn't currenly guessing should wear headphones to be sure they disregard what the other team says or does.
Feel the same way with OpenRCT2. I could have sworn the original games had controls for speeding up and slowing down park time but nope. Going back to Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 I just can't play it at 1x speed anymore. OpenRCT2 just has some nice little fixed.
Why does he do a lot of the things he does? Ketamine.
I'm curious how the creator chose 40 minutes as the cutoff because I use the same cutoff. Less than 40 minutes is normal, ordinary, wouldn't think twice about it. More than 40 minutes is an outrage, preposterous, is this place even still in NY?
payback for Opium Wars
He bought himself into the White House as a tech-bro Rasputin, probably the most paid for that level of influence, so we can expect him to get his money's worth.
I prefer to pay a decent fee so they make money for the service. As tech oligarchs have taught us if you are not the customer you are the product. I'd prefer to be a customer to my bank.

Banks are an odd business. You are basically guaranteed some income but the margins are slim and lots of regulations. Despite all the bad behavior they are probably one of if not the closest watched businesses by gov regulators.
I have a chain of applications. A postgres spits out data. A java application makes a CSV from it. A apache+php application takes that csv, removes the first column (we don't want to publish the id), then sends it to the destination. Both postgres and java do significant transformations, but the bottleneck for that chain is the PHP code. I already optimized it, and it is now literally 3 lines of code: read line, remove everything before first ',' , write line. This speeds up things enormously from the previous php doing fgetcsv/remove column/fputcsv, but still removing the PHP (keeping only apache ) from the chain doubles the speed of the csv download.
Just pronounce it "dodgy service"
Nope just one wheel. Factory tires. I like everyone telling me it’s my fault for not having the right tires. Lol. Like the claims Subaru makes are only valid if I spend a grand on tires for my new car. If you have to tie yourself in knots to justify marketing you can fuck right off.
Yeah, thanks for this. The WSJ piece was reporting -84%, but if you measure against Twitter's last full year/publicly reported revenues before going private, it's closer to -90%.
Maybe I want to be vulnerable sometimes, or weak sometimes, or to have unfinished opinions on things and be listened to in good faith without risking an entire relationship because I would like to talk about it.

Like privacy, people can come up with nice catch-alls like “nothing to hide”, but the default is not abuse.
Good. This gigantic hype cycle needs a reality check. And if it turns out Deepseek is hiding GPUs, good for them for doing what they need to do to get ahead.

> Second, we assign blame to the person that pulls the trigger, not the maker of the gun.

The analogy here is more akin to a booby trap than a gun, in which case we do assign the blame to the person that made the contraption intended to harm the unwitting user.

That aside, considering once it was discovered how the drive wiper that OP (aaza) claims to have made works, it basically just became a drive wiper that any bad actor could drop into a target system and run, “I intentionally distributed malware that I think, but have no way of verifying, only hurt The Wrong Sort Of People” isn’t just illegal and wrong, it’s stupid.
Your comment mirrors my experience with both close friends and a spouse. One time my now ex-wife asked why I don't share my feelings more. When I did she said she felt unsafe and we started talking about her instead. In my anecdotal experience men are routinely trained not to talk about their troubles and emotions. Even if I had some form of emotional support I am not sure I would know how to open up. And I am not sure I would want to.
There is a need - Twitter is now an excellent platform for propaganda and manufacturing consent. If Twitter defaults on the loans, my assumption is the creditors take control, and Musk gets a ton of value from being in control of Twitter.
I am less sure that x means anything to musk. I could absolutely see him shut it down in a fit of anger.

Although that's based on a very distant view of his actions, maybe in private he's 100% on board.
Show HN: Actionate – GitHub Actions for JetBrains IDEs
I’m excited to share Actionate, a passion project my team and I have been building to reimagine GitHub Actions within JetBrains IDEs. We’ve spent over a decade working in innovation labs at major tech companies, but our true passion lies in crafting tools that we genuinely want to use every day.

With Actionate, we’re not just integrating CI/CD into JetBrains; we’re leveraging the powerful building blocks provided by JetBrains and GitHub Actions to create new, transformative functionality. Our MVP (Minimum Viable Product) focuses on the most essential features we find critical for a smoother workflow, but the goal is to push beyond typical CI/CD boundaries and empower developers in ways that haven’t been possible before.

If this vision resonates with you, we’d love for you to check out Actionate and let us know what you think—good or bad. We thrive on community input, and your feedback will shape our roadmap as we continue expanding on what’s possible inside the IDE.

Thanks for reading, and I hope Actionate helps you take your GitHub Actions workflow to the next level!
There have been plans to bring RA2 to OpenRA for some time now. I second this.

It'd be nice to also see support for Tiberian Sun and the C&C Remastered collection.
Interacting with this model is just supplying your data over to an adversary with unknown intents. Using an open source model is subjecting your thought process to be programmed with carefully curated data and a systems prompt of unknown direction and intent.
Can't tell if sarcasm. Some people are this simple minded.
Compassion is helpful here.

Consider that many men (among others) don't consciously experience regular or frequent need for verbal or tactile emotional support as such, so they don't get a lot of practice culturing it as a skill, either as a giver or receiver, and don't often get to feel out which people in their network are going to be well-suited for it anyway.

Infrequent needs are hard to "work on" and often benefit from institutional support rather than ad hoc support: therapists, churches/etc, discussion groups, etc

It's sort of like changing tires, in that way. Now that manually changing a car tire is rare, because tires are more durable and crises can generally be remediated by calling some number on the cell phone you're certainly carrying, fewer and fewer people have actually done it and have a working, practiced familiarity with how to do it. But thankfully, roadside assistance and tow trucks are widely available and there's mostly no shame to using them now.

Supporting instutitonal access for emotional support would go along way towards helping the many people who just don't have an opportunity to "work on" building support networks the way you suggest.
How did you make the leap to violent criminals?

Regardless of our particular opinions on immigration laws and enforcement, conflating illegal immigrants in general with violent criminals doesn’t help.
Sigh.

HumanRankEval: Automatically Evaluating Conversational AI Output
I wonder if sama is working this weekend
Could be true.

Deepseek obviously trained on OpenAI outputs, which were originally RLHF'd. It may seem that we've got all the human feedback necessary to move forward and now we can infinitely distil + generate new synthetic data from higher parameter models.
Testtrim: A testing tool that couldn't test itself (until now)
Yup those guys and fintech. They're the big players in UK (well London) tech employment if total comp is what matters.
PicoCSS uses them well, as an example: https://picocss.com/docs/typography#heading-group
Latest GPUs and efficiency are not mutually exclusive, right? If you combine them both presumably you can build even more powerful models.
you wouldn't believe how scary computers were to most people. Once i added a batch file with the shutdown command in the startup folder of one computer, as a prank (trivially fixable by booting into safe mode) and got banned from the computer rooms because "i compromised every computer in the school" apparently.

They never discovered the rats we actually had installed on all their computers. They were still there years after I left, until they upgraded the computers.
Assuming multi-modal travel is allowed of course.
The amount of astroturfing around R1 is absolutely wild to see. Full scale propaganda war.
I would say that's not precisely true. the point of rail systems started out as "big power plant pulls lots of load". Once that was in place, yes, rolling very far unpowered becomes a compelling improvement.

a good comparison would be the invention of the travois https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travois which benefitted from the addition of wheels.
Seems bad for those GPU backed loans
If we're going to play that card, couldn't we also use the "Chinese CEO has every reason to lie and say they did something 100x more efficient than the Americans" card?

I'm not even saying they did it maliciously, but maybe just to avoid scrutiny on GPUs they aren't technically supposed to have? I'm thinking out loud, not accusing anyone of anything.
Utilities get to pass their costs along to ratepayers, so even when the thermal fossil generation is not economical, people who cannot go offgrid or install distributed generation and storage are hung out to dry.

Every coal generator in the US besides the one in Dry Forks, WY is more expensive than new renewables to run, but those costs get pushed to ratepayers so there is no incentive to retire them faster. You can see this up close with IMEA [1] and the City of Naperville (in Illinois) about to extend their agreement to continue to procure coal fired generation with no competitive bids [2] [3]. This enables the prolonged operation of one of the most polluting coal generators in the country, Prairie State Generating Station, in southern IL [4] [5]. Compare this to the City of Chicago, that has switched to 100% renewables using a power purchase agreement for ~70% of their demand and credits for the remainder [6] [7].

So, while the economics of renewables and storage are favorable, you still have twist arms with the courts and policy because of entrenched interests that are not exposed to the costs of prolonged fossil generation. "Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome."

> The lucky ones will make an impression on a billionaire and become rich from the proximity.

You think any of the H1B engineers at Twitter Elon did a pizza party photo op with are going to become millionaires?
I like this idea but think there is a missing link, literally. It needs a built in way to notify URL A of a reaction to URL B, so that reactions can be recorded independently of the target URL. Like putting URL B in a query parameter. This would support repositories of reactions that are independent of the reactee, and not subject to their feelings on the matter.
Making convoluted solution by solving the problem with type system is showing that OP doesn’t have basic programming skills.

Basic programming skill is also picking right tool for the job.

What he did was worst approach possible.
Something can be highly anticipated and utterly inconsequential at the same time. (See Star Wars Episode 1 as a primary example)

These assassinations were tragic and criminal and shocking at the time, but one has to be Gen X or older to have any emotional connection to them. To the rest of us, it’s just a chapter in our history books that’ll get a new paragraph or two appended now.

I’ve never experienced my bank imposing such fees or restrictions, nor can I recall any bank I’ve used over the past two decades or so doing such. However, some banks adopt these practices, and I question why customers remain loyal when there are abundant alternatives in today’s competitive financial market.

One possible explanation is inertia: many people stick with their bank because it’s familiar. It may be the bank their parents used, or they’ve been loyal customers for years and assume they’re getting the best deal. Unfortunately, this loyalty often overlooks better opportunities elsewhere. Interestingly, credit unions—despite promoting themselves as customer-centric and fee-conscious—can also impose excessive fees, challenging their claimed superiority.

Credit unions are notorious for limited official working hours, which can be frustrating when urgent banking needs arise. Accessibility in banking has become a priority, especially for those who need customer service outside traditional “banker’s hours.” The idea of physically visiting a branch, often during inconvenient weekday hours, feels increasingly outdated in today’s digital-first world.

For me, a bank needs to be accessible on my schedule—not the other way around. The ability to resolve issues or access services anytime is essential, and plenty of financial institutions cater to these preferences without restrictive fees or antiquated processes. Customers should embrace this freedom of choice and find banks that value their time and priorities, not the other way around.
I kind of wish coffee houses had more of this role like how they were in Vienna

Trump could give two shits about immigrant violent criminals cause even if he magically rounded up every single one of them he might have one Boeing 777 to fill
>> for purely AI

There is a big balloon full of AI hype going up right now, and regrettably it may need those data-centers. But I'm hoping that if the worst (the best) comes to happen, we will find worthy things to do with all of that depreciated compute. Drug discovery comes to mind.
I've been interviewing people for more than twice that long. I started with the conversational approach, and it worked poorly. There are too many people that are good at talking about technology but bad at actually doing.

My mature interview style is a pair programming session on a specific exercise (the same for everyone). It's inspired by the "RPI" (Rob's Pairing Interview) from Pivotal (well, Pivotal of old days). There are no gotchas to it, it's not hard. But it's definitely programming. Because that's what I'm hiring for. Not talking.
The leaderboard leader [1] is still showing the traditional AI leader, Google, winning. With Gemini-2.0-Flash-Thinking-Exp-01-21 in the lead. No one seems to know how many parameters that has, but random guesses on the internet seem to be low to mid 10s of billions, so fewer than DeepSeek-R1. Even if those general guesses are wrong, they probably aren't that wrong and at worst it's the same class of model as DeepSeek-R1.

So yes, DeepSeek-R1 appears to be not even be best in class, merely best open source. The only sense in which it is "leading the market" appears to be the sense in which "free stuff leads over proprietary stuff". Which is true and all, but not a groundbreaking technical achievement.

The DeepSeek-R1 distilled models on the other hand might actually be leading at something... but again hard to say it's groundbreaking when it's combining what we know we can do (small models like llama) with what we know we can do (thinking models).

Annoying, but not a tautology. What I think you mean is repetitiveness or violation of horror aequi:

A tautology would be “they do it because they do it”.
“violent criminals” is fake news he’s selling to the masses. it is how you win elections, scare a bunch of midwesterners who haven’t seen an immigrant violent criminal in their lives that this is core issue plauging america while using 4 years to pilage whatever they can :) not that we haven’t seen this already…
Ok, we've replaced open-source with source-available in the title for now, so hopefully the discussion can get back on topic.
No is a good first approximation.

There is a little bit of industry usage, with the biggest user being SiFive - the founders come from the UC Berkeley group that developed Chisel.

Also, VexRiscv has some industry presence.
The banks are holding your money and lending it out at a profit (fractional reserve banking). You should not feel obliged to pay fees on top of this.
That sounds insane. Does the bank demand the loan repaid if you pay no insurance or how does that work?
Oh man, the days before blocking net send was a common school sysadmin practice…

Back when I was a highschool freshman (2004-05) I wrote a batch script that would fire off net sends to everyone in the computer lab in rapid succession in an infinite loop, then just sort of left it on a shared drive with a conspicuous name. Sure enough, a few days later, someone ran it out of curiosity and got in trouble, but of course the file had my username in the metadata, and my computer teacher was like “Chris, you knew what you were doing, don’t do this again.”

It was the kind of “good clean fun” sort of prank that doesn’t get you in hot water or suspended, but was hilarious to watch play out.

Edit: Just re-read and saw that your friend got expelled for doing basically the same thing I did. That sucks. I’ll note that I went to an IT-focused votech school, so I think a lot of folks had a better sense of perspective as to how serious net send pranks actually were in the grand scheme of things.
Who trained your intuition?
