I’m observing few of such „unprecedented” cooperation projects from EU funds. A lot of meetings, a lot of managers, plenty of very unskilled people creating mess and few names doing presentations so companies will believe everybody know what are they doing.
Same from company side - they need being in those projects to comply with stupid EU rules about being eco.

Ball of mud.
Why is that? I would bet large sums of money that these guys will have a bright future ahead of them, much of it because of the goodwill they get from working for DOGE.
What's most wild about this is that what's happening at the FBI, while plenty scandalous enough on its own, are mostly eclipsed by everything else that's going on - e.g. this editorial https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/03/the-gu... doesn't even mention the FBI. It's like Trump is setting as many fires at once as he can, hoping that at least some of them will burn out of control...

I love this post. “Explain what is going on with the government without mentioning politics. If the reality is that current events and the people involved in them are driven by ideology, invent a version of reality wherein they are not” is like walking into a Sephora, opening up the folding chair that you’re carrying, and loudly demanding the catfish dinner and a beer.

> Our tests revealed that Prometheus v3.1 requires 500 GiB of RAM to handle this workload, despite claims from its developers that memory efficiency has improved in v3.

AFAIK, starting from v3 Prometheus has `auto-gomemlimit` set by default. It means "Prometheus v3 will automatically set GOMEMLIMIT to match the Linux container memory limit.", which effectively prevents garbage collection until process reaches the specified limit. This is why, I think, Prometheus has increased flatlined mem usage in the article.

> Query the average over the last 2 hours, of system.ram of all nodes, grouped by dimension (4 dimensions in total), providing 120 (per-minute) points over time.

The query used for Prometheus here is an Instant query `query=avg_over_time(netdata_system_ram{dimension=~".+"}[2h:60s])`. This is rather a very weird subquery, that probably was never used by any of Prometheus users. Effectively, it instructs Prometheus to execute `netdata_system_ram{dimension=~".+"}` on 2h interval `2h/60s=120` 120 times, reading `120 * 7200 * 4k series = 3.5Bil` data samples.
Normally, Prometheus users don't do this. They'd rather run a /query_range query `avg_over_time(netdata_system_ram{dimension=~".+"}[5m])` with step=5m on 2h time interval, reading `7200*4k=29Mil` samples.

Another weird thing with this query is that in return Prometheus will send 4k time series with all the labels in JSON format. I wonder, how much time from 1.8s it took just to transfer data over the network.

>I dont know what the future hodls but it’s looking pretty good for bitcoin so far

The future always looks good right before a crash. You really don't want a currency as unstable as bitcoin as your legal ledger. we would have had 2 crashes already in this decade alone: the obvious 2020 dip and the dip in 2023.

All the DOGE/Trump shennaigans + the investigation on the Hawk Tuah coin will probably crash it again late this year.
You are maybe in 0.005%. If project has even a presentation at the end it’s already being considered successful. And I thought it’s maybe Poland only, but Germant and France is the same (I’ve seen this myself, not heard from 3rd party)
Society needs at least some inflation for things to keep moving, but an individual usually wants the opposite.

The elected government serves the society of its citizens, while inventors and holders of unofficial currencies are individuals who ultimately serve only themselves.

Nice idea with indentured servitude and no welfare
I’m really not a tough on crime guy but I agree with everything you’re saying, I do just worry that if Buekele is ousted that another leader could be elected who uses the same heavy hand to lock up more than just criminals.
I think when you look holistically at the promises that China has made, and broken, it still doesn’t make sense to align with China. That could change in the future but the time isn’t now.

An example; look at what they’ve been doing in the South China Sea, Hong Kong or Xinjiang.

Some instability in the U.S. is definitely uncomfortable but the alternative is not better.
Please please please take a minute to look at this administration's tax plan and their previous one.

They did already and are planning to again add trillions to our deficit. Go look at it, it's laid out very clearly.

There is no good faith here, these actions are a plundering of the state.

I'm less convinced the RISC-V move is about politics and more convinced it's about not paying for ARM licenses.
> Did they even try? 3.6 Sonnet, R1, 4o, and o3-mini-high all correctly diagnosed the issue given the same basic prompt, albeit with varying levels of utility.

Not everyone has the time or the inclination to keep a stable of local llms (and update them regularly, for example). Some people have other hobbies.

> Heck, even pasting the "prompt" into non-AI Google and Bing worked.

What? It's been years since a regular search got you anything but spam from the usual tutorial farms.
Unfortunately most Show HN threads are not shown on Show HN, they are shown in /shownew and /new for a short amount of time before other new threads arrive. To be shown in Show HN they must pass some unknown thresholds (upvotes???). I believe not many HNers visit /shownew and the chance to get upvotes on /new is quite slim due to the amount of new threads coming in. I know there must be some mechanism to prevent spamming but the current one also suppresses the exposure of Show HN threads and they are often buried in /shownew without much exposure/feedback.
this is pure horror.

this can’t be allowed to stand. it doesn’t matter the offenses, criminals have Constitutional rights El Salvador de facto does not grant them.

what the fuck are the Democratic governors and states doing right now? the union is being tortured and rewritten to authoritarians before our very eyes.
>The price of intelligence is quickly trending to zero.

Please define intelligence as you see it then, because I see little of the accurate, astute, highly selective and precisely reasoned kind from AI. If anything is caused by AI tools its that the price of semi-coherent filler content (visual and textual for now) is falling to zero. This is far from similar to intelligence.
Proof of Stake etc are a bit irrelevant for daily use. If you want to do something like make a bet on polymarket the newer chains are faster, easier and cheaper than bitcoin or ethereum on the whole. Polymarket uses polygon for example which is a fork off ethereum but it doesn't matter much which such network you use and the bets are denominated in US$. Bitcoin lightning is ok but more awkward to use than polygon et al.

Proof of Stake and no ceiling to supply are important if you are going to hold the thing for decades which is a different issue.

edit: nevermind, i now see you can chose the corner pairs
I guess Quarkus and Spring 3 native are meant for bringing existing apps to serverless deployments and fast startup times (plus process-level isolation as an option?), but it's true there are also new apps being developed using Quarkus. The investment in tooling, inertia of the ecosystem of third-party libs, and predominance of traditional JIT over AOT deployments must be the reason why they're not just doing away with Spring's reflection in the first place.
Can you tell me please what you worked on and where I can see the output? I’ve been adjacent to these kind of efforts and the only thing I can say is that I’m highly skeptical of your claims.
I don’t see how that’s relevant to the macro economics discussion, and I don’t see how Trumps tax cuts for billionaires are going to help you in any way.
You're hoping for a salacious answer. But the real answer is going to be "because declassifying stuff is a time consuming pain in the ass, and no one could be bothered for the file which covered correct letterhead formatting for internal correspondence which technically got sucked into the system 50 years ago and now it's difficult to figure out that that was all it was".

JFK stuff was also declassified under Biden. No one cares because there's nothing in it.
The error is viewing the EU has a single entity with only one viewpoint on any subject.

Europol + most major euro police forces + a number of european deputees want to have access to backdoors to spy on citizens, other european deputees do not. The battle is here.

Remember when they said they’d get to the bottom of the “drones”? Don’t be so easily distracted from what they are doing to the country.
I think there's some truth to the idea that they don't go for center right because they promise to do nothing useful for their voters.

My take is its less left/right and more useful/useless. Obama won big because people thought he'd do something.

Trump promised a lot of change and boy he's certainly doing exactly that.

At the end of the day though, I think the time of party politics is over. Whatever Americas gonna be like next its not gonna be this
Don't forget the repeal of the chevron deference too by the supreme court. Agencies have a lot less power now (at least from a judicial perspective). Big trouble indeed, but its clear that for certain actors, they are experiencing pain they haven't felt before under any administration...
I won't disagree but it's the most effective way of getting an edge over the competition. Without the "reward and punishment" system in place, how else do you get that extra mile from your engineers? How else do you find an incentive to reduce the fat in the management structure? USA companies know how to do this very well and you cannot remain competitive unless you're willing to do the same or find some other similar system.
So it's only bad when the Chinese or Russians do it? :)
People don’t pick a stack for their personal projects solely because it’s the most rational for their use case, but also to gather experience in said stack, so they can stay up-to-date or gather the experience to work in places that using that stack would make sense.

It is similar with resume-driven architectures: let’s build an architecture of the place I want to work, instead of the one for where I do work.

It’s good to read a comment of sanity amidst all this instinctual bellyaching whenever T or E do anything. But in particular when a formerly well respected publication writes a hit piece like this…

I used to scoff when people said “TDS” was a real thing, but having observed the same with Elon over the years and then listening to hours long talks between him and others, I realised “EDS” is clearly also a thing. And lo and behold: Listening to full long-form talks with Trump revealed a person wholly different to what media portrays.

And as a disclaimer, no I don’t agree with everything they do or say. But they’re not the monsters the monsters in the media machinery spin them up to be either.

The real monsters are those that purposefully trim and clip and stitch together falsehoods out of context, and then believe their own lies until they’re willing to throw other citizens under a figurative bus just because they work with or for “those people”.
> We just saw big win of ARM over Intel's multi-decade scam

We also just saw Arm sue one of their customers following an acquisition of another of Arm's customers, and try to make them destroy IP that was covered by both customers' licenses. Nobody wants to deal with licensing, and when the licensor is that aggressive it makes open alternatives all the more compelling, even if they're not technically on-par.
Your product management is ass.
In the case of Quaero [1] "it did not work". Sure, all involved parties were praising the project and by constantly shifting goalposts they could label it a success, but in the end it was a huge waste of money, sucked in by the usual suspects.

Apart from the lip service that has obvious reasons to support that latest chip technology is crucial to the national security, I fail to understand why this is the case.

What is the disadvantage that a country has if they only have access to computer technology from the 2010s? They will still make the same airplanes, drones, radars tanks and whatever.

It seems to me that it is nice to have SOTA manufacturing capability for semi-conductors but not necessary.
That still doesn't mean that 'Rust idiomatics' have to creep into every Linux subsystem which the Rust code needs to talk to. It just feels like a poor technical design to not keep both sides entirely separated.
Also very predictable exenditures over time, which increase with an aging population with decreased firtility rates. Which have little to do with actual firtility but are just a measure of kids vs parent ratio, it might play a role though. Everyone always forgets that it is entirely predictable but nobody does something about it because it hurts.

Also doesn't help if you borrow against the money put in. The US is not alone in taking money from the baby's/old peoples fund unfortunately, same happened here but worse the money was just taken. Although it was mostly spend on education and construction so there is that at least.

Professional advice and care are the best options but i think i can share some of our personal experience for what they are worth. I would say having a certain level of pragmatism is important without being insensitive with the person with this disease, for example one thing i wish we would have done earlier was to declare my father in law as "legally incapacitated", i am not sure what is the proper term in english but here in spain it means that they cannot legally bind themselves to anything without the consent of a tutor/guardian. This is a painful process because it takes time (judges, doctors, etc... must asses the case) and this acts as a constant reminder to the person with the disease of what is coming, making him/her feels useless. Another key aspect is being focused from the begining on what the healthcare system can provide for your relative as the disease progress, these bureucratic processes tend to be slow on my country, and since dementia progresses at different rates for each individual, it’s best to start looking into options early. Symptoms might advance rapidly in younger individuals.

Equally important is being sensitive and getting ready for what is to come, i don't think you can be optimistic so instead we focused on appreciating the time together, i started having more personal conversations with my father in law, we got closer and somehow that bond remains. We learned to be very patient because he went through a long period of aphasia, if he got stuck on certain phrases, we just gave him a bit of push completing the words he was missing. We also took long walks on nature. Being surrounded by a peaceful environment is important. As the disease advanced, he started to feel very confused, he couldn't recognize us sometimes and that made him angry, there was usually small hints before the outburst triggered, again being patient and trying to calm him down was important. Because he was relative young he was physically strong what was challenging but it is manageable, i think he needed to feel safe so focusing on that was a good strategy. Now he is not longer able to communicate, occasionally he says a few words and sometimes it can be even funny, it is fascinating how the brain still responds to humor even with dementia. When I sense he is nervous, I gently touch his back, and I can feel how much it reassures him. Support groups to share these experiences are important, take all the help you can get. When the disease reaches its final stages, seek the help of professionals. Their support can help the family maintain a sense of normalcy and be functional.

By the way, I just realized that I said it’s hard to be optimistic, but one thing I can truly say is that I value life so much more now. Every day that I wake up and feel present is a gift.

Obama would be "far right" by current Democrat standards. He was against gay marriage in 2008, for example.
There is a legitimate role for both things: to have some non-inflationary things that serve as a store-of-value, and then some inflationary things to serve as regular currency.

It is worth emphasising here: non-inflationary currency does not grow its value, so it would be unusual for people to want to put their wealth exclusively into store-of-value. Rather, most people will want a mix of inflationary-currency, store-of-value, and investment in growth-generating businesses.

When people talk about wanting to use bitcoin as a day-to-day currency, I feel like they are missing the best benefit if could offer us.

We already have effective day-to-day currencies. But we have not had a reliable store of value. The US, UK and Australia each have a history of denying ownership of gold when it suits them, which is when people need it most.

The lack of reliable store-of-wealth has made it too-easy for governments to fleece wealth-generating people in order to buy votes. This is not the long-term strategic path, but it creates a race-to-the-bottom due to short-term incentives. Perhaps blockchain will change that, by allowing the creation of an easily accessed utility that sits beyond the easy influence of the nation state.

To be effective it does not need to be perfect, just better than the options we have now. It has been encouraging to me to see the CCP struggling with blockchain, and then outlawing it because they cannot control it.

Sadly, based on the comments here and elsewhere, HN is not immune to political rhetoric.

No, but paying an exorbitant amount, but seeing few things being improved around you, but endless wars funded and cronies getting richer, and useless bureucracy enlarged and making your life or business more difficult, is.
