I’d also distinguish between the hacker to gets access to a forbidden system out of curiosity or for a challenge, from a person who pays a ddos service to attack someone they don’t like (one of the accused actions of this kid).

The latter displays no competency in hacking or cybersecurity, only the attempt to harm another.

My concern in their access to secure government systems is not their hacking competency (which has not been demonstrated), but their sociopathy which has.
It’s likely somewhere inbetween.

A lot of people in a lot of capitals do have motivations, of varying strength, to take the US down a notch or two…
I agree with this. I'll add the following;

Understand that this venture is risky, to both of you. There are possible upsides and downsides. Assuming you're both operating in good faith, both sides want it to work.

As a startup you'll be used to risk. It's kinda baked in. This is just one more. There will be more to come. You can "structure " some of the risk away, but fundamentally it's there.

I would recommend you both take one day and spend it together. Try and find topics you disagree on and just discuss them. This will help you understand how your partner deals with conflict. Explore areas which are material (politics) and something which is not (say sports). See if this is someone who understands consensus and compromise (find out if you are.)

Ideally you have more time, but even a day would be a good starting point.

We recently switched from Grafana to Prometheus. Reason being that a license refresh took longer to process on their end. What happens when a license expires on Grafana? They fucking shut down all your shit cold turkey. Don't care if you're in prod or have a dedicated guy on their end for support or whatever. So you're happily churning along and then suddenly you're blind. Nice FinOps. With Prometheus there's a grace period where they'll happily overcharge you. But we've never had a product absurdly blow up on us like this before. It's truly mind boggling that they're out here talking about 'FinOps' now.
I remember when "power users" were the ones who wrote reviews (free publicity). The classic story is Jerry Pournelle, who started writing but became hooked on personal computers themselves, and I would read his stories of the evolving hardware and software. It became clear that vendors would feed him new products so that they could score in the articles he wrote. [0]

> Along the way, he began to write, but wasn’t able to publish. “I became an aerospace engineer, not a professional writer”

> “I paid Tony Pietsch to build me the best machine he could, and paid him $12,000 all told,” Pournelle noted. The computer ran a program called Electric Pencil, the first word processing program for home computers, which had been released just the year before. Pournelle later began using a program that Pietsch programmed, which offered some improvements over Electric Pencil.

> Authors saw the potential immediately. “Larry Niven saw my system, loved it, and had Tony Pietsch build him two of them,” Pournelle recalled. When he later threw a party at his home, a number of other authors “saw my system and wanted one. Greg Benford got Tony to build him a copy, and several others got Tony to find them someone local to them who’d do it for them.” The race to adopt the PC was on.

IIRC, he tired of becoming a computer reviewer. It was a long time ago, and old copies of Byte Magazine are online.[1] I think it was Byte. Old timers (make that microcomputer pioneers) can correct me if I remembered this poorly.

P.S. I was one of those power hungry types and got into Unix in a serious way around the time of the Mac Classic/Plus. The Mac won on fontography, Unix on insane productivity. I would reduce data, and write reports with data plots in a couple of days while the personal computer users took a week. grap, pic, troff.
People here encouraged my writing. The first year I wrote this blog I kept my name off it. The word spread a bit and I then added my name. But I sometimes miss the early days when felt more like writing for myself.

Look at your job, now look at what it pays, now back at your job . You could earn so much more if you joined the SMO. Think about it .
I would say it depends on the content of the conference.
I'm a EE but work on process controls systems.

If it's a specialized industry specific users group where people in the same type of role swap operating experience, that's worth it. I.e. a heavily regulated industry where the safety of the public is involved like nuclear power, air planes, oil, etc.

The other type of conference is if your plant is specifically on a certain vendor for your core process.
So automation firms for industrial controls conferences fit this bill
If you're a Honeywell shop, go-to Honeywell users group, Allen Bradley go to process solutions users group, or anything with aveva going to aveva world.

If the production of your plant is dependent on the lifecycle of a vendor for parts, support and licenses, this type of conference is a must.

For both of these types there is a smart option to save a ton, volunteer to present. Most of the time if you present something worthwhile at a conference they waive the fee.

Fascinating. I could see the Serial GC, if it's generational, just totally crush this particular benchmark. I wonder what the heap size heuristic is for the Serial GC.

> Don't forget that the JVM has to allocate memory for all its subsystems as well, like the JIT compiler, so that 3x memory is not entirely heap usable by the program.

That's fair. I recall doing my due diligence here and confirming it is actually using mostly heap memory, but again it's been a while and I could be wrong. (Also if the actual heap size is only ~100s of MiB and the rest of the subsystems need north of a GiB, that's much more than I would have anticipated.)

> And I deliberately linked this benchmark, as the topic at hand is the GC itself.

Sure. Not trying to suggest the benchmark doesn't have any utility, just that even for just GC performance, it doesn't paint a complete picture, especially if you're only looking at wall time.

Ok, but according to this, linear investments generate linear increase in economic benefits.

So why the need to go exponential?
"bus factor" is just a side benefit of having a larger dev team. The idea is if someone gets run over by a bus then you still have someone who "knows" the code to train the replacement.

> From my understanding facial reconstruction from skulls is a well-defined process in forensics

It's commonly used, but is it:

* Consistent from practitioner to practitioner?

* Able to consistently pass a double-blind test?

My understanding of forensic 'science' is that it has a bad reputation for having more in common with shamanism, or the rituals of a witchdoctor, than it does with science.
Electoral votes don’t support a president’s agenda, people do. Being underwater already at the beginning of his term means the other politicians that have to work with him (who also have to get elected) are more under pressure not to. That’s why not having the support of most voters is relevant in Trump getting things done. Grand parent basically said this guy has a mandate from the American people and he really doesn’t. Heck, it was big news that his disapproval rating is almost the same as his approval rating now, the most popular he has ever been but still not liked by most Americans.
That meme got old.

It would also be nice to see police sketch artist renderings compared with the people they depict.

>None of us voted for him.

I voted for Trump and his campaign was explicit that Musk would be part of the new government. I certainly voted for him and by extension Musk/DOGE, as did the majority of American voters, even if most of the people here obviously didn't.

>These for federal institutions that every citizen relies on.

If that were the case Trump and his policies would not have been voted in.

Also worth noting, the core of "institutions every citizen relies on" which is Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are exempt (for now) from the cutting and slashing as promised during the campaign. That alleviates the vast majority of citizens' concerns about reducing the government.
Directly using Unchecked_Deallocation is frowned upon, either use ControlledTypes (which the article mentions), or Bound/Unbounded Collections (which the article misses).

Using it directly is similar to the usual discussion of using unsafe in Rust for double linked lists.

As of Ada 202x, SPARK covers most of the language, no longer a subset, and also does affine types, aka borrow checking.
If you have iOS/macOS, I've made a native app for mining Japanese web/ebook content into Anki (or Manabi Flashcards which is getting FSRS soon too): https://reader.manabi.io

I'm currently working on adding first-class Mokuro integration for manga mode, bilingual user-provided or Whisper-generated captions for video, an HDMI-input mode with realtime lookups, and local/BYOK AI features. And once I add Yomichan dictionary support, I will be able to go multilingual too. I also have a beta available via the Discord that resolves some bugs that I'm trying to release very shortly.

I've added Anki integration and am working on WaniKani + JPDB sync. Hopefully more service integrations soon too. I like to have nice defaults but let users keep their flashcards wherever they like. Ricotta too if there were an API.

Those are very recent emails that don't say anything about what it was originally meant for, just that nowadays there's better options.

Though really the part they quote called it a backup tool, that does imply it was originally meant to be a backup method.

> "What will happen when PIIs of every individual with dealings with the Treasury gets leaked?"

We see what happens when big companies leak personal data - almost nothing. Maybe they give you 3 months of 'credit monitoring' or 'identity theft monitoring' service, maybe they write an apology press release. We've seen how Trump presents things, he quite realistically could say either "it was Democrats weak security, we're fixing it" or "hackers must have got it, we'll clean it up" or even "fake news" and then ... do nothing, we never hear about it again and the affected people deal with it as best they can. Why would you expect more than that to happen - a newspaper writes a damning article, lawsuits are filed, the news moves on in 24 hours.

We saw how he reacted to COVID, it wasn't a world class good reaction.
A four layer board is not “moderately complex”, it’s child’s play. IMO moderately complex is in the 10-20 layer range with controlled impedance, buried vias, etc. or a mechanical assembly with hundreds of parts.

Everything definitely has gotten significantly cheaper than when I started working in mechanical/electronic engineering 15 years ago but a moderately complex board with assembly is still hundreds or thousands per board on short (1-2 week) notice. That’s what the GP means when they say that hardware prototypes are orders of magnitude more expensive (sans NRE) and I’m pretty sure they’re talking about the much more expensive mechanical side too, which also had gotten cheaper but not overwhelmingly so.

Do you think Ada would be good for game development? My main interest in the new wave of low level languages like Rust, Zig and Odin is to see which one would be good for game dev.

Out of all of them, the best would probably be Rust (great ecosystem) and Odin (the designer behind Odin is literally a game dev iirc)
Contrary take: "AI founders will learn the bitter lesson" (263 comments): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42672790 the gist: "Better AI models will enable general purpose AI applications. At the same time, the added value of the software around the AI model will diminish."

Both essays make convincing points, I guess we'll have to see. I like the Uber analogy here, maybe the winners will be some who use the tech in innovative ways that only leverage the underlying tech.
How is this relevant? The discussion is about misrepresentation and lies.
I’m saying C# as a whole, not C# on one example. But, I have already agreed that C#’s performance has become pretty impressive. I also still believe that idiomatic Rust is going to be faster than idiomatic C#, even if C# now supports really advanced (and non-idiomatic) patterns that let you rewrite chunks of code to be much faster when needed.

Oh yeah, the Deep State totally exists, any day now the Deep State is going to stop Elon Musk and Trump, the only reason the Deep State hasn't stopped them yet is because the Deep State (which is definitely a real thing and would not include Trump and Musk, they given a seat at the council of Epstein but were refused the rank of Pedofile) is playing 5D chess and waiting for the right time to stop them. Any day now, Musk will be eating a ham sandwich or firing employees with DEI colored skin and WAM! The Deep State will return power away from poor working class freedom fighters like Musk/Trump and return it to the billionaire oligarchs AOC Luigi and Obama.
The latest firmware update included changes to how the battery management handles long-term constant power. Too soon to say how much it helps, but it at least is a thing they are addressing.
Preaching to the choir here. I'm that nerd who could go off on all the themes, dyanmics, and philosophies of The Matrix, and then 15 years later hear "Keaneu Reeves as John Wick" and have a blank face. I've never been particularly good at naming celebrities.

But I'd be unsurprised if I was ever diagnosed as neurodivergent, and apparently people find other people's lives engaging or even "relatable". Not that I never had my share of famous people I liked hearing about. It's just that I more resonate with their actions and works than their day-to-day lives.
Hilarious analogy that honestly doesn’t seem that far off. But in that reality, you probably wouldn’t be able to walk to the store, much less anywhere else, because there would be all these semi trucks driving everywhere and a road-dominated country. That’s basically a dev trying to get a job today, which means they’re just gonna focus on learning that whether it’s the best solution or not.

Most devs don’t use React because it’s the best tool for the job, they use it because it’s the best tool for getting a paycheck.
You’re deflecting.

As such you demonstrate that you will not be an ally in case of a surge of unethical behavior.

What got Rust adoption if anything was human factor, most folks adopting it never programmed in Ada, Object Pascal, Modula-2, Delphi,...

They weren't even born when we were using them, or if they were their toys were actually toys not systems programming languages.

Rust was their first encounter with systems programming, and Standard ML linage, after lots of Python, Ruby and JavaScript, and most likely never seen anything else other than C and C++. Most likely that also believe the fairy tale of C being the very first systems programming language.
reductionist view can be applied to what we call "thinking" and "intelligence" too. When I'm asked a question, my brain is also just picking a suitable sequence of words based on my experience (training). Talking is what we consider part of thinking, something only "intelligent" creatures can do.

Just feels like a lot of coping from people that don't want to let go of our concept of "intelligence superiority" or w/e you want to call it.

The end game of this will be them wild-eyed in front of a string-crossed cork board, claiming they've found the one thing human brains can do that AI can't, so it's not thinking it's just x,y,z.

I believe they're confusing a single index with more columns vs adding additional indexes. Additional indexes would be slower to update.

I suppose additional columns could be slower to update too (more data structure traversal), but I'm guessing not by nearly as much as an additional index.
>focus on the big problems first and don't sweat the small fry.

The biggest line items which are Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are off the table as promised during the campaign, for better or worse.

Everything else is fair game, though. That includes everything from the Pentagon (note: never passed an audit) to "foreign aid" and science grants and everything in-between.

>Has he actually revealed any significant spending outside of "wow this thing cost X million dollars. how crazy for [partisan reasons]".

He has revealed that literal millions and billions of our tax dollars (or loans, to make it even worse) are being wasted on questionable ventures at best. I want him and DOGE to dig even deeper so the House is forced to write a clean budget devoid of all this fucking garbage. American taxpayers deserve better.

>Screwing the details is how you enable corruption, by the way.

I agree, which is why it's great that Musk and DOGE are looking into the details of where the sincere fuck our money is going. All these whiners are crying that we shouldn't look at the details, it's all fine! No, fuck them. I want all this out in public view, in bite size chunks consumable by the common man paying for all this, to be scrutinized; anything worth having should be able to withstand any and all scrutiny.

>None of these steps are made with you and me in mind.

I agree again; these steps are made for all of us from the rich to the poor and the progressives to the conservatives. Everyone benefits from a leaner and cleaner budget and a smaller and more efficient government.

This is bullshit.

"The Com" is computer hacking like carding, Kerbs puts them as distinct "crime-focused chat communities" as others have posted - https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/09/the-dark-nexus-between-h...

Kerbs had to go to effort to find overlap between the harm groups and "The Com"

There are groups that attack children and there are groups that attack these groups in "The Com", if you define "The Com" at a higher level.

Whatever it is no one from the cybercrime community is suggesting the "The Com" from the article has anything to do with the harm groups.
