I learned recently that this and all the other MIA/POW focused media of the era was based on a conspiracy theory that traces back to a Nixon press conference that tried to reframe Vietnam into a rescue mission for imprisoned soldiers who probably didn't exist to improve support at home.

The other tiny detail I liked was the real life POW-rescuing Rambo-type figure was used as the basis of the Hannibal character in the A-team show.

I notice I am confused how the code needed for the GPU to sleep was implemented.
It was failing when simply saving/copying gigabytes of flat memory, but on the other hand it was able to recover successfully the previous complex hw and sw state and data structures?!
I guess it probably makes sense if after waking up that data is actually dropped and the gpu and ui is reinitialized and redrawn.

Hi HN,

I built RemoraBuddy to make it easier to stay engaged on Hacker News without constantly refreshing the site. It helps you track mentions, follow users, and monitor replies to your comments—all from a lightweight macOS menubar app.

What it does:

* Mentions & Replies: Get notified when someone mentions you or replies to your comments.

* Follow Users: Keep tabs on specific users and their posts.

* Granular Notifications: Set up alerts based on specific keywords or accounts.

* Menubar Customization: Show or hide the menubar icon as you like.

The app is free to use for up to 3 keywords/accounts, with a modest one-time unlock fee for unlimited usage.

I’m planning to add a feature that highlights the most upvoted comments, creating a front page for top discussions instead of just stories.

Would love to hear your feedback or feature requests.

Thanks for checking it out!

I can most confidently say that it is in fact actually option 2 that is the case. Absolutely a vast number of people are using ChatGPT exactly like what they were using Google for.

Yes, the “chat” part of ChatGPT enables a kind of deep and long contextual exploration, but even at the very first response it is already better then what my experience with Google typically is, so I definitely keep creating new chats for whatever I was going to create a new tab to search Google for. I have even mostly stopped talking with the LLM in full sentences - just the keywords just like you would with a search engine.

Please help me understand why you think that is a bad thing.

Only in the second gulf war did the US become an occupying force, and this action was permitted by congress. The others may have been “invasions” but certainly not occupations or annexations. I could be wrong, but I don’t see congress allowing Trump to destroy NATO.
> The point im trying to make is that there is another way here which i beleive nets the West (both USA and Europe – USA's natural ally)

And this is the crux of the issue. It's hubris to assume Europe is our natural ally and should always be our top priority.

In the US, our Pacific allies (Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand) are a higher priority than our European ones.

As can be seen in US Military Deployments (the majority of US Armed Forces personnel is deployed in the Pacific) along with economic relations (APAC trade is larger than EU trade)

For the US, China is the primary adversary to worry about, not Russia. Why should European states assume the US has an obligation to always support Europe? At least France and UK have historically tried to maintain some strategic autonomy, and Eastern NATO states like Poland, Romania, and Turkiye have continued to build domestic defense capacity.

And unlike most European countries, our Asian allies (SK, JP, TW) have continued to build fairly competitive domestic defense industries. Japan and South Korea can manufacture their own ballistic missiles, tanks, submarines, airframes, heavy artillery, etc. Only France has a similar diversity of domestic defense R&D and manufacturing capacity in Europe.

> more benefits than gearing up for war (aka the Peace Dividend).

It's Europe that gets the peace dividend. Not the US. We still need to the capacity to fight a two continent war. That's a bum deal.

> I would think that Europe has knowledge and skillset.

Europe as a continent, sure. But in reality, it's a number of individuals states working on their own domestic production, procurement, and supporting their domestic champions.

France will continue to protect Thales Group, Arianne Group, Dassault Group, etc, just like how Germany continues to back Rheinmetall, ThysennKrupp, Eurofighter, etc.

There is no ability to unify production and procurement without also undermining domestic industries and jobs.

France's Ariane Group will never transfer their Medium Range Ballistic Missiles technology to a German company - they don't want to help a potential competitor.

This same thing happened with the Eurofighter project, with France deciding to back Dassault instead.

It's nice to wish for the optimizer to do the [almost] perfect job, but sometimes that never arrives. Consider for example the case of AMD GPU ISA (GCN) generated by LLVM: it's been so far from optimal for so long, that one can lose hope that'll ever happen; and wish for a simple solution that works in the meantime.

Maybe if you stop criminalizing teaching of real science and facts, you would get more teachers. And as the article said, salaries is a very big issue.

In many parts of the US, if teaching about Birth Control, discrimination and what slavery really like was not illegal, you would find get more applications. In some places teachers where even brought up on criminal charges.

These days, no smart person would even think about teaching is many regions of the US, and maybe Canada too.

> I was simply pointing out two common misconceptions.

With regard to falsely shouting fire, there are no common misconceptions. The common understanding of the saying is identical with the understanding in the judgment, and that part of the judgment remains good law.

However, there is a modern meme that strives to obscure this reality by pointing out that the judgment reached conclusions that modern people generally disapprove of. This has no relevance to the issue.
Neat. Could we rank by how common/rare/archaic the words are, or else by how insulting?

'vice president jd vance' is only 20 letters but has generated 233 million+ results so far and counting; 'verdict jive spend cane' being one of the more lurid. (I hope you don't get a big bill for large queries).

anagrammer.com is a great site; it has lots of sort orders, scoring options (e.g. Scrabble, WordsWithFriends letter values), wordlists, constraints (starts with/ends with/contains/n'th letter is... ), '?' for wildcards.
It's much worse, since you can't inline it; it becomes a shared-library call.

Stata was visually fantastic - great light, most places you'd look were interesting and nice to look at.

Acoustically it was bad -- the echoes in the open plan areas were terrible. Too many big, hard surfaces that reflected sounds everywhere.

It leaked and tried to kill people with shedding ice. That was a bit of a drawback.

My office would get cooked by reflected light off of the big shiny silver thing (being grumpy twenty somethings, we called it the Gehry crack pipe). They finally added more HVAC vents to my office right before I left, so that's probably fixed. Of course, it took me adding an extra resistor to the thermistor in the wall temperature sensor to finally get them to address the problem. That didn't go over too well.

I've seen many other CS buildings that are about 90% as visually interesting as the Stata center with 20% of its drawbacks, so my primary conclusion is that they let Gehry have just a smidgeon too much free rein and didn't listen enough to the contractors and engineers.

But it's the most visually impressive building I've worked in, inside and out.
This is more or less what the trump administration says they want to do

This is pretty hand-wavy. I was diagnosed with a rare disorder. My doctors said surgery was the only option and that it would be fine after. As it turns out, there's a radiation therapy that is 80% successful, been practiced around the world for 20 years with no serious side effects (including cancer), AND is practiced regularly by a RO here where I live.

I had to find out about him by myself because my doctors didn't do anything other than look up my condition and give me the most common treatment option. In my case surgery usually makes things worse and is NOT advised other than as a last resort. My doctors didn't know any of this, because they didn't do their research.

You can probably write a udev rule for the Thunderbolt / USB-C port with either ACTION=="offline", "remove" or "online".

"offline" is for when your system turns off or suspends, "online" vice versa, and "remove" is self-explanatory.

If you go with "offline", I'd look into hard disconnecting the monitors. This might cause monitor rearrangement (= you'll need to manually assign) or blinking on laptop bootup. Might also stop any charging. But that could be mitigated by checking the "subsystems" attribute.

If you go with "online", you probably need run some sort of clean-up / refresh script or rule

If you go with "remove", you'll need the same clean-up / refresh script.

It'll take some trial-and-error, but it'll be satisfying once it works. Also highly recommended to check the NixOS repositories and official wiki and Arch wiki to see if your laptop or monitors have workarounds for their quirks.
Too bad a lot of devs love to greenfield, slap it together, then bugger off to the next project pronto.
> Do the math on the execution rate. You do _not_ want to be a criminal in Singapore.

In 2023, Singapore executed 5 people, which is less than one in a million:

https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/policy/internatio...

You basically have to bring drugs into the country to be executed. So as long as you don’t do that, this statistic doesn’t affect you at all.

> How policed are these public housing projects? I wouldn't have a problem living near or even in a place like that if there weren't criminals running around.

Three quarters of Singaporeans live in these places, and there is no significant police presence. There doesn’t have to be because the crime rate is so low. Criminals aren’t running around.

> Sure. I just don't see that happening in the US without it turning into a dump. I didn't even live in a homeless shelter. I lived in an income restricted place. It was a magnet for criminals and non-criminals are punished for it.

I think you read “public housing” and interpreted it as something like you have in America, with high crime and poverty. That’s a misinterpretation. This is the type of place most people live in Singapore. They are nice places to live, they are just massively subsidised by the government.

I do. I don't even fault Trump for lying anymore; he's famous for reneging on his word. I think the media in their quest for "objectiveness" seem to have given up on object permanence.

Exactly. Going from $0 purchase cost to $0.01 is a nearly impossible problem in many organizations. Paradoxically, they'll find a way to waste $100k on an "enterprise" stack to do the same though.

This is a fantastic insight.

I used to suffer from imposter syndrome significantly. It helped to see the mistakes others made which anyone could have made. It also helped to have my own good ideas and talent explicitly acknowledged. Learning to not take criticism personally and own your own mistakes also helps to rob imposter syndrome of its power because it demonstrates to others that you can be forthright and self aware, and that helps build trust.

The problem is that there are a handful of domains where optimizations need to be actively fought against, like low-level cryptography primitives. You can't write these in C reliably, so you need to drop into assembly to deliberately inhibit the optimizer, but that doesn't mean that assembly the ideal choice, only that it's the only choice.

But that's simply not the case. We likely very close to the technology needed to get tiny objects to a decent fraction of lightspeed using laser arrays.

I didn’t say it was balanced. But look at what happened at SDNY last week. Several conservative prosecutors went against the DOJ.
This isn't true when it comes to CLI tools, where fixed costs and warm-up time can easily dominate over algorithmic complexity, especially comparing a scripting language to an ahead-of-time language. Without careful construction, a tool written in python with whatever O(log(n)) time complexity may still be booting up by the time a Rust tool finishes the job in O(n^2) time: frequently n is actually pretty small outside whole-repo builds, and the cost of interpreter is high especially with accompanying tooling -- python3 itself will run `print("hello")` on my machine in 40ms, but when wrapped in pyenv (which I think is typical?) it takes 400ms. The same goes for node/npx and ruby/bundle. Compare to an ahead-of-time compiled binary from go, which can boot and print hello in 3ms on my machine -- it has between 10x to 100x the wallclock budget the python program just spends booting up.

Clearly authentication shouldn't rely on prompt engineering.

Particularly when at the end of the demo it says "we have tested it again and now it shows that the security issue is fixed" - No it's not fixed! It's hidden! Still a gaping security hole. Clearly just a very bad example, particularly considering the context is banking.

What do I mean by "I am a huge believer that the immune system is at the core of many, if not all, mood disorders"?

It means i think this is the direction research should take.

It means if people have mood disorders they should see an immunologist first, becasue this is how we can find out right now if it is true. (Many people with Lupus do not know they had Lupus and they were institutionalized with neuropsychiatric lupus and never got the help they needed. My mother was one of them. And see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXFX6OnSlng

That is the suffering those of us with immune issues have to put up with.

Does it mean I just want science to prove my belief correct? Of course not. What you need to do is stop being so overly dramatic. What I do believe is more and more research is pointing to Neuroimmunology as the basis for most mental illnesses. Which means I am excited.

> No, that does not follow. You're literally describing an A -> B, A -> C situation, which does not imply that B -> C.

Of course, yes, correlation is not causation until it is proven. But absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

For eff sake, I was just excited and not I had to waste my time explaining this to you and you ruined everything.

But let me tell you a story. Both times I caught COVID I had the worst psychosis of my life. And when I a sick with anything, there goes my mood as well. So if that does not tell you the immune system effects mental illness, what will?

I mean, to me it seems stupid that people would disagree that the immune system causes mood changes. Who feels happy when they have the flu? And if you knew anything about the tryptophan -> Kynurenine/serotonin pathway you would be even more excited about this discovery.

Agree. Also, not be judgemental about the state of things as in "which moron did this". Approach it from a point of understanding and respect rather than criticism. There are multiple reasons why the code base and tooling around it are in the crusty old state. They are usually decisions that engineers or middle management had no control over.

I've been with my company for a while now. Too often I find someone come in with the "this is trash and all of you are idiots" mentality. I've typically not been keen to help such folks. They usually soon ask for rescue from the very same dumpster fire they created.
