They know they have a run of the mill model. Maybe even not as good as Gemini or ChatGPT. (or even DeepSeek? Who knows?) So they leverage other business to force use of the models onto the market.

Everyone else will do the exact same thing. Why? Because I don't think their models will be better in any material way than the slop Amazon is slinging.

Because no one else cares to ask, are you running FreeBSD? I ask because you use ZFS.
More power is to overcome switching losses and parasitic reactances. You can increase drive strength up to a limit to overcome this, but a slight clock reduction will make things work at the same power.

CPU's and GPU's reclock extremely fast to my knowledge, but what we're talking about isn't dynamic reclocking, just limiting the max clock as suitable to the system design.

We already see this when we have laptop silicon that run faster clocks when using soldered RAM compared to when the same silicon is using socketed counterparts.

That this wasn't an option probably mean that they're either far too close to the limit, or unwilling to allow a design that runs below max speed.

Because road crossing are genuinely terrifying today. The automobiles are too big and the drivers are too distracted. I have a hard time walking my kids across the street for school sometimes and that's with a crossing guard.

People are fucking nuts and are driving around in these oversized vehicles with their phones in their faces. You can very casually, very trivially observe this any time you want by simply walking down a semi-busy street and looking at the drivers as they go by.
I think some “reasoning” models do backtracking by inserting “But wait” at the start of a new paragraph? There’s more to it, but that seems like a pretty good trick.

"[compilation] for productive programming of hardware accelerators"

But 93% of the codebase is Python lol. Whatever you think about Python, it is not a systems programming language. Takeaway: this is not a serious compiler project (and it's clearly not, it's a PhD student project).

Deeper take: this is just a DSL that behind the scenes calls a (SMT) solver for tuning (what they call "scheduling"). There are a million examples of this approach for every architecture under the sun. My org is literally building out the same thing right now. Performance is directly a function of how good your model of the architecture is. At such a high-level it's very likely to produce suboptimal results because you have no control over ISA/intrinsic level decisions. Lower-level implementations are much more robustly "powerful".

>To me, peak usability was 25 years ago, when most applications had a toolbar and a menu that followed a standard pattern.

I've done different sorts of tech support since grade school and people always ask me how I got so 'good at computers', I they never believe that actually reading the menus is 90% of it and that once you learn the common ways programs are arranged and some common shortcuts you pretty much know how to use all of them.

Without busting out CPS, you can also pass the current state along as parameters to your recursive calls:

def fib(n, acc1 = 0, acc2 = 1) =
n match
case 0 => 0
case 1 => acc2
case _ => fib(n-1, acc2, acc1+acc2)

You should be able to take my tree walker here[0], add a `visit: A => ()` parameter, and call `visit(tree.value)` (assuming you have a structure Tree[A] = (value: A, children: List[Tree[A]])) before the match.

> It's the same as people cheering up prison rape

Respectfully, no it's not. Our society does in theory, and should, recognize a universal right to not be raped. It doesn't recognize, for anyone, a right to not have to work and still be taken care of, with the possible exception of the Royal Family. Though I understand most of their income comes from their historical ownership of vast lands, which is slightly different.

> Prisoners should be sitting in prison, they shouldn't be working,

Why should they only be sitting? Where's the free room and board for those who haven't committed felonies? If we aren't offering a UBI to random non-criminal lazy people, I don't think it's justified to recognize that as a right of prisoners specifically.
"Mobile CPU" has recently come to mean more than laptops. The Steam Deck validated the market for handheld gaming computers, and other OEMs have joined the fray. Even Microsoft intends to release an XBox-branded portable. I think there's an market opportunity for better-than-800p handheld gaming, and Strix Halo is perfectly positioned for it - I wouldn't bet against the handheld XBox running in this very processor.

That's logical reasoning, not corporation reasoning.

Nobody involved in the decision making cares about the customers. They only care about the potential hit to the bottom line, and if that's perceived as callous silence, they don't care. Unless, of course, they decide that appearing to care and being responsive results in less of a hit.

Silences like these are strategic and dependably predictable - engaging with customers on average costs more than remaining silent for whatever metric they've applied to the fix. If it takes longer than they thought, they might feel compelled to speak out, or they could just depend on the issue to fade into the 24 hour news cycle. Engaging with a customer runs the risk of them interacting with some threshold of people that will keep the negative story in the headlines for longer than it might otherwise be.
I just read through the documentation for Reticulum but I'm not sure what the point of it is. It looks like a Tor like network written in Python? As far as I can tell the entire thing runs virtually over TCP.

The manual says something about physical networks (is this intended to replace ethernet?) but it also mentions a current throughput of 40mbps so surely that's not what you're supposed to use it for.
For me it worked to just estimate and tend to miss high... so if you're not sure how much of something there is, just guess and keep increasing until you're like "well it's definitely not THAT much"... and if I wasn't losing weight I adjusted my estimates up assuming I hadn't hit the mark.

Ask HN: How Do You Keep Up with Tech and Business News Without Wasting Time?
Hey HN,

I often find myself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tech and business news. Many articles feel bloated, and by the time I extract what actually matters, I’ve already lost minutes (or hours).

So, I built Glimpsy, an AI tool that summarizes key insights from top publications. The idea is to make it easier for founders, investors, and tech professionals to stay updated without reading full articles.

Check it out on X (Twitter): https://x.com/gglimpsy

I’m trying to validate whether something like this is useful, and I’d love to hear from you:
• How do you currently stay up-to-date with industry news?
• Do you find existing sources too slow, too noisy, or just right?
• Would a summary-first approach be helpful to you?

Would appreciate any insights! Also, if you’ve tried similar solutions before, what worked (or didn’t)?

Thanks!
Let’s not forget that Europe has its own populist far right movements coming into power: Reform UK, National Rally, AfD, etc. etc. etc. If the equivalent of MAGA takes over the EU, would owning a Tesla become a virtue signal for the ~30% of people that support these politics?
Roman Stoicism, of the sort practiced by Marcus Aurelius or Seneca, is vulnerable to charges of hypocrisy and tendentious sanctimony; Seneca’s insistence that virtue is detached from worldly goods is somewhat undermined by his corrupt exploitation of his station, for example. Stoicism qua stoicism was, like all Roman intellectual pursuits, originally Greek, and was based on an entire metaphysics of free-will determinism that the Romans pretty much ignored in favor of being able to pretend that they were upholding the supposed virtues of an imagined past (a favored pastime, see Tacitus and Cicero), even as they let their society slide ever further into corruption and tyranny. To be honest, Stoicism tells us a lot about the psychological and social character of the Romans, but didn’t really come into its own as an influential philosophy until its early modern rediscovery and the development of neo-Stoicist thought.
I do the same thing however it is still a burden on yourself for no reason other than people don't like "dissenters"

I'd rather focus on hanging out than hiding what I'm doing. There envititable are the "shots" people. (Yeah spit them in your fake drink, or over the shoulder) Its all a bunch of work to pretend to "Fit in" over a very absurd rejection of my harmless preferences.
By all means do that. I'm sure you will find an audience of enthusiasts who would consume your work. Saying is one thing, doing is another.
I think you might be asking the wrong questions. They key questions are Queries per second and the median response size of the query.

For example at reddit (15 years ago) we had 10x more vote traffic than comment traffic, but we only needed two databases to handle votes (technically only one the other was just for redundancy).

But we needed nine comments databases. Mainly because the median query response was so much bigger for comments.
> You don’t even need to call it a boycott. You can just… not use the specific goods and services of the people and companies whose stances you abhor.

This is what I do. I don't call it a "boycott" because it's not, if you consider a boycott to be a relatively temporary effort with the goal of changing some company's behavior.

Instead, what I do is recognize that there things that I'm simply not OK being a part of or financially supporting, so I refuse to do it. I have no expectation that my avoiding doing business with these companies will change their behavior or even improve the world. I avoid doing business with these companies so that I can sleep better at night.

A few nitpicks with this:

-Yes some studies show that increasing high intensity cardio or LISS cardio vs very low intensity cardio like walking can lead to both higher hunger and a reduction in NEAT, however it isn't correct to necessarily say walking is better.

Walking is also effective, but there is a clear dose response effect here:

-If you run or swim etc for an hour, even with a reduction in NEAT for the rest of the day, you will have burned more calories net than walking for an hour, though it is more taxing.

There are other benefits to higher intensity cardio than pure caloric expenditure (there are also drawbacks).
But the major difference between the human perceptual apparatus and data fed to an LLM is that humans are, in a linear temporal fashion, experiencing a physical world that exists outside of our perception. Our observations aren't just large volumes of unstructured data with purely statistical relevance to each other. Instead, we attempt to model the world via objects existing in relative position to each other and events occurring at various point in a timeline. The result is a complex model of cause and effect, actors and things being acted on, etc.

In that way, my dog is far more intelligent than LLM, in that he has a mental model of his world. An LLM is only intelligent relative to a human actor, and so it is no different than any other technology that humans have created to pursue their own ends.
my rule of thumb is that the average startup has no more than one novel piece of code, and it is usually one of the first things written. Then after that there’s enough plumbing and UI work to keep a few hundred regular engineers busy

> A single database with no partitioning (I avoid PostgreSQL partitioning as it complicates queries and weakens constraint enforcement, and IHMO is not providing much benefits outside of niche use-cases).

That's kind of where I'm at now... you can vertically scale a server so much now (compared to even a decade ago) that there's really no need to bring a lot of complexity in IMO for Databases. Simple read replicas or hot spare should be sufficient for the vast majority of use cases and the hardware is way cheaper than a few years ago, relatively speaking.

I spent a large part of the past decade and a half using and understanding all the no-sql options (including sharding with pg) and where they're better or not. At this point my advice is start with PG, grow that DB as far as real hardware will let you... if you grow to the point you need more, then you have the money to deal with your use case properly.

So few applications have the need for beyond a few million simultaneous users, and avoiding certain pitfalls, it's not that hard. Especially if you're flexible enough to leverage JSONB and a bit of denormalization for fewer joins, you'll go a very, very long way.
That's fair. In fact, you might say that for a competently set up fleet of computers, nothing beats it.

Bundling is explicitly recognized as antitrust concern. Using a monopoly in one area to undercut a competitor is what Microsoft and Google were both found guilty of by the DoJ, so it's funny you should mention them. It's not about being prohibited from developing new products, but in how you price them, and giving away things for free because you can afford to due to your monopoly in one area, and your competitors can't is the crime, or forcing people to buy both of your products together at the same time, is the problem, as enforced by the DoJ. Google should be free to develop Chrome, but funding all of its development from advertising profit and then giving it away for free because you can because you have a monopoly in search advertising is the problem, because Mozilla doesn't have search advertising monopoly money or desktop operating system monopoly to be able to give their browser away for free and fund further development from those sales. This is why, as part of the Google breakup is for them to sell off Chrome.
