> Perhaps most troubling is how cryptocurrency enables ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure, healthcare facilities, and local governments. Criminal groups can now easily monetize cyberattacks through untraceable ransom payments, creating an entire criminal industry that threatens public safety and national security.

Without commenting on the other aspect of cryptocurrency, I think this is actually a good thing for national security. The more people are enabled to execute ransomware attacks, the more they expose holes in the cybersecurity of various public systems and encourage others to actually fix these flaws instead of ignoring them.

The damage that's caused by ransomware attacks can sometimes be tragic, but it's better than the alternative: doing nothing to improve security until a real cyberattack by someone like Russia or China takes down your entire country's infrastructure because you've put no effort into securing it.
Precisely. Henry C. Carey, Abraham Lincoln's chief economic adviser, would say that the article's platitudes about "interdependence" miss the fundamental issue - it's not interdependence itself but the _type_ of interdependence that matters. Carey's economic nationalism recognized that exporting raw materials only to import finished goods creates colonial-style dependency, not prosperity. Carey's "harmony of interests" demanded domestic manufacturing capabilities that transform local resources into higher-value products, creating what he called "association" between producers and consumers within the same economic sphere. When we outsource manufacturing to non-democratic nations with concentrated labor power, we're not creating mutual benefit but establishing extractive relationships that hollow out our productive capacity. True economic resilience comes from rebuilding local manufacturing prowess that completes the production cycle domestically - something the globalist narrative conveniently ignores while democratic nations gradually surrender their self-sufficiency in the name of "efficiency." Carey's approach would actually transcend zero-sum thinking by creating genuine wealth through productive transformation rather than mere exchange, in turn unlocking fresh potential for growth, when nations develop their complete productive capacities instead of competing for shares of existing production.

No, I eat a lot less in general and a whole lot of veggies.

I followed the same routine 4 years ago, then I stopped and when I started eating carbs my vo2max recovered overnight. I think one cant have it all - either you run on stored energy which caps the power to weight ratio - or on readily available glucose and glycogen. Its fine, I am not an athlete, I do sports to feel good. I dont see an impact on raw strength - just on anaerobic performance.
It is not certain if what AMD writes there is true, because it is almost impossible to determine by testing whether the 2 halves of a 512-bit instruction are executed sequentially in 2 clock cycles of the same execution unit or they are executed in the same clock cycle in 2 execution units.

Some people have attempted to test this claim of AMD by measuring instruction latencies. The results have not been clear, but they tended to support that this AMD claim is false.

Regardless whether this AMD claim is true or false, this does not change anything for the end user.

For any relevant 512-bit instruction, there are 2 or 4 available execution units. The 512-bit instructions are split into 2 x 256-bit micro-operations, and then either 4 or 2 such micro-operations are issued simultaneously, corresponding to the total datapath width of 1024 bits, or to the partial datapath width available for a few instructions, e.g. FMUL and FMA, resulting in a throughput of 1024 bits of results per clock cycle for most instructions (512 bits for FMA/FMUL), the same as for any Intel CPU supporting AVX-512 (with the exception of FMA/FMUL, where the throughput matches only the cheaper Xeon SKUs).

The throughput would be the same, i.e. of 1024 bits per cycle, regardless if what AMD said is true, i.e. that when executing 8 x 256-bit micro-operations in 2 clock cycles, the pair of micro-operations executed in the same execution unit comes from a single instruction, or if the claim is false and the pair of micro-operations executed in the same execution unit comes from 2 distinct instructions.

The throughput depends only on the total datapath width of 1024 bits and it does not depend on the details of the order in which the micro-operations are issued to the execution units.

The fact that one execution unit has a data path of 256 bits is irrelevant for the throughput of a CPU. Only the total datapath width matter.

For instance, an ARM Cortex-X4 CPU core has the datapath width for a single execution unit of only 128 bits. That does not mean that it is slower than a consumer Intel CPU core that supports only AVX, which has a datapath width for a single execution unit of 256 bits.

In fact both CPU cores have the same vector FMA throughput, because they have the same total datapath width for FMA instructions of 512 bits, i.e. 4 x 128 bits for Cortex-X4 and 2 x 256 bits for a consumer Intel P-core, e.g. Raptor Cove.

It is not enough to read the documentation if you do not think about what you read, to assess whether it is correct or not.

Technical documentation is not usually written by the engineers that have designed the device, so it frequently contains errors when the technical writer has not understood what the designers have said, or the writer has attempted to synthesize or simplify the information, but that has resulted in a changed meaning.
The benefit of components like InlineStack is that the components then have names that semantically describe their purpose in the layout.
I spent a large chunk of 2024 reading _The Power Broker_ and all the Lyndon Johnson volumes. Caro recreates the entire world of every story in those books in so much detail that every biography or historical book I've read since has felt thin. I'm desperate for the fifth volume of the Johnson biography—I have no idea how he'll pull off such a sweeping final chapter, but I cannot wait to find out.
I like to make my own decision on how to interpret what someone says, not "trust" someone else to do that.

Why would they need to? They have direct Chinese competitors to Tesla who are selling more units for far cheaper prices and innovating far faster. Tesla has a bunch of political baggage with a now drugged out and unstable CEO and nothing they are providing has a leg up on Chinese alternatives. People who can't even legally buy chinese models in their own country want Chinese cars now because they are so cheap and modernized.
> most of the people I've known over the years who messed with these substances ended up dead, with persistent mental illness, or brain fog that took years to clear up.

Before we do anything in life, we should know ourselves, evaluate ourselves and the risks associated with these drugs that you note and make educated decisions as to our level of acceptable risk.

I for instance knowing the risks you point out, and how broken my brain is will not be trying any of these, despite all of the only positive interactions from those I know who have who now pressure me to follow in their footsteps. I know that I would be one of the people you note. I still find people’s reports interesting despite this.

Sadly I too know people who fit your description, only they consumed copious amounts of alcohol or meth and entered a slow road to destruction from which they were never able to divert themselves.

I would entertain trying micro dosing of a compound in this family with the guidance of a medical health professional as further data comes to light. These are about the only circumstances in which I would entertain it.
My version would be that after a YEAR it's revealed. or maybe more. Not, that day 1 it's declared indistinguishable. A full year, un-assisted, interacting at large online in its capacity, in some approximation of a circadian rhythm.

I've been asking this for years.

People keep saying stuff like "but you'll want the human touch." Really? So when was the last time you asked someone for directions? Personally, I'd rather google something or discuss with ChatGPT than make someone listen to me for an hour. And that someone has to be extremely knowledgeable about a lot of different topics!

Even here. Would I rather converse with y'all and get downvoted sometimes, or talk to ChatGPT and refine my ideas? Sorry, fellow humans... even on HN there is too much irrational criticism and off-topic stuff to get anything really done. Oh and you have to wait a long time for each response.

The real question is ... what is the point of any human output on the internet in a few years? Why would anyone want to listen to your post, comment, or anything at all?
For me it's because talking is a much quicker way to communicate. I can type pretty quick but I'm not a stenographer.
> A cheap stylus will solve this for your casual games.

A stylus can solve the problem of not being able to target a point on the screen. It can't do anything about the problem that your game has to run off of a single control. Games need to be able to let the player do more than one thing.
I'm comforted by the thought that like me, most people with nothing to say are determined to let us know that.
So I was never really bothered by the belief that everything online is being stored somewhere, because I was certain that there was so much crap to wade through that no one could make any use of it. Not so sure about that any more...

> Pair them with mentors that are top founders and VCs

Super difficult to get right. From my very limited experience in New Zealand:

1: Good founders need to be self-starters and discover their own solutions in many areas where they are ignorant. Leaning on experts can be counter-productive for unobvious reasons. Having self-doubt and thinking experts know what they are doing is subtly wrong thinking. Founders need to havea lot of belief in themselves. I'm not sure you can encourage self-belief but I am sure many people kick it out of founders (I've been on the receiving end of some destructive people - I think they were well meaning but they didn't know how to empower). Listening to advice is often good, but ignoring advice is often critical.

2: many advisors don't know how to support founders. Advisors often want to pretend they know the answers and sometimes they play status games and knock down founders. I remember one arsehole bankrupt guy trying to be a mentor. Too many advisors have the wrong motivations.

3: VCs want to go big. I saw investors push founders in particular ways that were regularly unhelpful.

I'd love to see you succeed - there's a heap of talent that is out there.

One assumes there is at least some mutuality here, and that Russia has also indicated it's standing down offensive ops? Some basic bilaterality? Christmas truce in the trenches?

One also assumes covert infiltration a la "salt typhoon" continues at scale everywhere. I am somewhat amazed other economies haven't declared their infection state, although we are somewhat acculturated to both assuming we're not sufficiently valuable, and have different core ISP/Telco technology models so maybe it's a little different. Baby Bells gotta be what they are.

Any economy which has a baby bell externally supplied systems network management model would want to worry.

(This is said in a belief the primary break-in target is Telco management networks.)

I don't think that's true either. Indirectly everyone benefits because in a good system the total produced wealth is growing and the poor majority sees the improvement of living standards.

In a bit more details, the wealth can be created, preserved, redistributed and destroyed (i.e. failed to be preserved). Obsession with fair redistribution harms the creation and preservation of wealth, in the end there's nothing left to distribute. We saw that happen IRL.

In my view, creation and preservation of wealth is more important to get right. At least you'll have something to redistribute in the first place. And within that framework, inheritance is a good way to preserve wealth because passing it to the state inevitably destroys part of the value due to bad governance. Inheritance is also a very good incentive to create wealth, I personally wouldn't work 12 hours a day if I didn't have kids to set up in a new country where they have nothing.

So while inheritance is only a part of the whole system, I argue that it's not only humane part but a necessary one. Live country-wide experiments seem to confirm this so far.
I used to live in the Boston area as a kid and dad used to take me to loads of ham radio swap meets in the city. I loved rummaging around the stuff and finding cool things to try to use with my Commodore 64 (even in the 80s, ham swap fest's had a lot of computer gear proliferating)

There are open tool chains that will compile your design using the cells defined in the outreach programs fab specific standards. However, it will not necessarily function like your simulated hardware design.

i turned it on while i was heating some hot chocolate

told it, "hold on" as i was putting on my headset, they said "no problem". but then i tried to fill the empty airtime by saying, "i'm uhh heating some hot chocolate?"

the ai's response was something like, "ah.. (something) (something). data processing or is it the real kind with marshmallows"

not 100% on the exact dialog but 100% would not have been fooled by this. closed it there. no uncanny valley situation for me.
Are we not? I am pretty sure the vast majority of things written/published in the past couple of years have had a significant amount of AI in it.

I very much doubt that as any pub quiz on C will validate.

People think they know C, in reality they never read ISO C document, aren't aware of the differences between ISO C standard library and POSIX, how each compiler handles ill formed no diagnostic required, implementation defined and UB parts of the standard, and to top that even better compiler specific extensions.

Anyone else frustrated that this discussion always goes 'housing cost → effect' and not at all 'interesting new effects → housing'?

We all know about interest rates, credit access, and supply—but what we don't hear enough about is the structure and dynamics of 'bad areas.'

If you could suddenly flip a switch and make 'bad people' turn into nice, agreeable, conscientious neighbors, wouldn't that instantly solve the housing crisis?

Of course, this gets political, but that's exactly why I crave a publication that treads the line and engages a broad range of meat blobs.

Perhaps this is a problem more in Europe and not the US. I'm not sure how many areas in the US would be good locations if they were not so crummy. In the UK, it feels like one faces trading off paying for "nice" vs dealing with crummy and trying to predict which areas will become nicer in the next five years.

It kind of surprises me that such a low fold-change in core1 synthase yields such a huge change in glycocalyx. Everything we know about this enzyme says it is an absolute rocket on substrates, so I can’t really see this process being enzyme-limited. There might be other (mouse specific) things going on here that this is scratching the surface on.

It would be great to have UI with all the core necessities, like navigation buttons, address bar, bookmarks, download management and few simple settings.

This way browser engine developers can concentrate on building the engine, and UI developers could easily experiment with various layouts and new features in forked projects.
You're absolutely right. The rational thing for you to do is to enable further exploitation of your own class and hand over the extra profit on a silver plate to others.
