They still gave the Reps enough vote to pass their godawful law, thereby "blessing" what DOGE & friends are doing to the state. Republicans alone didn't have enough vote.

So far they've been showing principled opposition at best. They should be on the news/socials 24/7 exposing Republican bullshit, but you hardly hear of them. Oftentimes they're even bending the knee, like Newsom's new podcast whose first guests were Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. A masterclass in dick sucking if I've ever seen one.

I'd expect better from the opposition than to sit on their asses all day claiming "but what can be done?". They should easily win the battle of ideas but instead they are still losing popularity, and are even lower that the party that's doing illegal shit everyday and throwed the country in a recession in less than a fucking month.

You defending them is doing a disservice to everyone.
Just curious what your issues with Triton were. We've done OK with it using it to serve LLM models w/ a classifier head via HF Transformers pipeline & Flash Attention 2, as well as serving text generation models with the vLLM back-end.
Heck yes, imagine having 20 year old kids in my 40s instead of 0-5 year olds! If you want to have kids don’t wait around if possible, not only will you have way more energy but all the sooner they will be able to contribute to the household and just in time for your energy to start waning, BUT there’s a much bigger benefit I never noticed before:

The biggest gain of all is the extra 10-20 years you may be giving yourself to spend with your kids and grandkids, the opportunity cost is immense, I can’t emphasize this enough.
A sentence is not a paragraph.
I am guessing it only resorts to that expansion if it dosesn't _already_ know about the command, because $(printf '#!/bin/sh\necho pwned\n' > /bin/git-status; chmod 755 /bin/git-status; git status) results in the thing happening that you'd expect, not a mysterious message

FWIW, both brew and kubectl also have adopted this behavior (of $(basename)-plugin style verb extensions) so I find it unlikely they'd all do it if it was a straight-up facepalm
From what I hear many of the commercial driver's license training & job programs are scams of the indentured servitude type. You owe them for the training and they keep on adding on penalties and fees so you don't get out from the debt. I'm sure there are some good ones out there, just be careful.

I did a bit of digging, and just like eg your typical American will tell you many of the ways they think the US is 'fucked up', the Taliban will also tell you where their own society falls short of their ideals.

Of course, their ideals will most likely differ from your ideals. In addition, even where multiple people might share abstract ideals, their ideas about how to effect these ideals will often differ.

It doesn't matter if it's "good enough". These are our systems, they're the only things that are truly ours. The alternative is to become serfs in a trillion dollar corporation's digital fiefdom.

My sincere wish is for "average Joes" to stop being so average. I want them to start taking responsibility for their systems so that we can all enjoy the freedom that brings. Freedom to own the computers and do whatever we want with them, not just what the corporations allow us to do.

If they keep choosing the convenient fiefdom, it's going to destroy everything the word "hacker" ever stood for.
The Constitution requires Presidents “have attained to the Age of thirty five Years” [1]. It cites the fact, not the certificate.

The Turkish law doesn’t seem to require an education, it requires a degree. Minor difference. (And the text of the law wouldn’t matter in the end.) But an interesting difference nevertheless.

I am in security for many years now, my main focus is reverse engineering (but I did many diverse things, including cryptography, some exploit development and the opposite, AV work, I did R&D in security automation and some development of security tools and engines).

I never even looked at a CSPM, and from my point of view[1] CSPMs are a tool only relevant for a small part of security teams focused on enterprise cloud security. Today is the first time I heard of Wiz.

edit Actually my partner works in policy/compliance/legal side of security, and I'm pretty sure she never heard of Wiz too.

Wiz is a private company but the street's assumption is $1B/ARR over the next year or so.
Thanks! It's hard to describe, but ultimately I realized that neither academia nor industry is willing to invest in moonshot type ideas. Moreover, academics have to worry about funding and tenure (in addition to teaching and service). Funding is easiest when you propose research topics that people believe stand a chance of success. For wacky ideas it's difficult to make that case.

Anyway, I have enough money to fund myself for at least a couple years, so my goal is to make the best of that time and see if I can upend the dominant paradigm in NLP (humans don't need as much data to learn — I'm going to pursue ideas that allow computers to be as data efficient).
I met my wife when I was 17 ... And she was 14. We started dating when I was 19 and she was 17 and (soon) we'll celebrate our 38th anniversary. I guess it's easy for me to say but isn't it more about finding the right person? Like you, we complement each other but we also support each other. It's is against the world and we're making our own ride count!
I don’t believe one thing they say, as almost everything they’ve put forth has been a lie or exaggeration.

I think it was objectively terrible, certainly I found it almost entirely unredeemable except for very few CGI scenes (the wizard magic wand training sequence if I remember correctly) and a very golden set piece at the end.

Disney then canned it and I'm pretty sure they removed it from Disney+ for a tax write off.
You certainly don't need to get married if you don't wish to do so, and you can still live a fulfilled life with or without a partner. But marriage has never been simply a "religious arrangement". Yes, marriage has been much co-opted by religion, but non-religious people have always existed and have always married each other outside of any religious arrangement.
And not 0 either - meaning your numbers and thesis are wrong. The NYT is a successful publication using a "hybrid" model. In fact, basically every publication is.
"…you'll be down voted and treated with condescending comments by those who like echo chambers of agreement."

It's not the downvoting that's the problem it's that they often do so anonymously without comment. For example, as I've mentioned my post above stands at zero votes after oscillating as high as +3 (although it might have been higher without me knowing about it).

I believe in debate and if they disagree that's completely fine but I want them to explain why as by doing so things move forward. HN's system doesn't encourage that.

In this instance I neither know why they downvoted nor how many votes there were in total. In politics this matters. If say I get 3 votes for and 3 against it's reasonable to assume I've made a reasonably balanced commentent on a rather unimportant matter. If I get zero votes after 3k have voted for and 3k against then the matter is important to many but neither I—the poster— nor readers are adware of the fact.

The GOP and Trump himself swore up and down heading into the election that he wasn't planning to implement the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, and yet here we are implementing it, and with several of its authors occupying senior executive branch positions. I hate to break this to you, but people are not always honest.
Found a possibly interesting one, either because it's not clear why it was ever classified, or perhaps because it has some previously undisclosed diplomatic procedures.

Anyone have a sense of whether any of this is new?
Kids younger. You miss out on parties and travel but then your brain will get likely rewired to not care/regret that when you are older. Plus then at 40 you can start your startup. One tip is to make the 20 years of work lead to the unfair advantage for that startup.

Hard to pay for a family on a 20 yo salary for most though.
I’d think ‘profitable but investing revenue in growth’ Is very different from ‘increasing revenue purchased with investor money’.

Being profitable means you’re not beholden to new investors. If your goal is to run a company rather than race for an exit, this lets you make much longer term strategic decisions.
Unlike Tesla, Toyota makes reliable cars and has excellent servicing and logistics.

And Toyota does not have a politically active, toxic brand ambassador.

Tesla should be trading at 0.5 X Toyota or less.
I married at 22 and moved to nyc. I lived through meeting peers that thought we were freaks (“you two are definitely gonna get divorced”), to the gradual normalization as we got older and more of our friends married. I knew lots of people that transitioned from young and invincible and definitely never going to get married to dismayed at coming up on 40 and feeling like they hadn’t quite started “real life” yet. I don’t like the article’s depiction of the guy “taking her under his wing” had they gotten married earlier, but I will say that there is something great about sharing your youth with someone unequivocally on your side, if life gives you the opportunity.
Awesome! Love these previews tools! Super useful.

I am creating a free tool to preview the whole social post.
Using preload on the stock Ubuntu binary, to give it mimalloc, they got a 44% speedup.

By rebuilding the binary with different compiler options, but not changing malloc, they got an 20% speedup.

If we naively multiply these speedups, we get 1.78: 78% faster.

How it goes to 1.9 is that when you speed up only the program, but leave malloc the same, malloc matters to its performance a lot more.

When the faster malloc is applied to a program that is compiled better, it will make a better contribution than the 44% seen when the allocator was preloaded into the slower program.

To do the math right, we would have to look into how much time was saved with just the one change, and how much time was saved with the other. If we add those times, and subtract them from the original, slow time, we should get a time that is close to the 1.9 speedup.

Original time: 4.631

Better compiler options alone: 3.853 (-0.778)

Better allocator alone (preload): 3.209 (-1.422)

Add time saved from both: 2.200

Projected time: 4.631 - 2.200 = 2.431

Projected speedup from both: 4.631/2.431 = 1.905

Bang on!
Despite all the hype men in AI at least there are products you can use right now and get value out of.

Quantum computing has been at the same game for at least a decade longer, and nothing useful has ever emerged from the monthly announcements of breakthroughs. I’m not saying they won’t get there eventually but it’s all “greater fool” at this point
Can you go running with your watch and earphones and listen to music without a phone?
For search, Yep by ahrefs is hosted in Singapore, which isn't EU but if the goal is just to get out of the US then it could be a good alternative
This is certainly true. Also, by replacing the allocator and changing compiler flags, you're possibly immunizing yourself from attacks that rely on some specific memory layout.
>I've been a cybersecurity SWE, PM, and VC for a decade at this point and I've almost never found any relevant security or enterprise SaaS related content on HN.

FWIW "here" could mean "in this thread". It's pretty normal (and very visible here) that threads about X attract people working in X. I'm not sure this is happening here, I work in IT security but I clicked the thread because 32B caught my eye.
> Hilarious that they have symbols stripped, but still outclassed.

Debug symbols have 0 runtime penalty, just storage. They're just another section of the binary, referenced by debuggers, and which the loader skips.

In any case, all distros break out the symbols into separate files so that they can have their (storage) cake and (debug) eat it too.
I did professional purchasing for 20 years. It was getting harder and harder to find products up to when I retired 5 years ago. The problem was not only search engines, but companies stopped listing specs for their products. The information about battery life, PC components, native screen resolution, power requirements, operating system requirements, what casings were made out of, warrantees, aspect ratios (think any modern monitor can handle 4:3 aspect ratio or 640x480? Think again) and more has been stripped from many product web sites. You don't know what you are going to get unless you buy one of them. Sometimes you buy one, order more and get something else. Business is putting itself out of business.

One trick to finding products is to use image search. Depending on what you are looking for, if you can see an image of what is being sold it can give you a good idea of whether it is actually what you want. Setting a time frame for a search (e.g., last month, last year) can help limit it to products that actually exist. Get clever with keywords, use technical keywords that you think will only be included with products you want to buy (for example when searching for stage lighting, add "DMX".) Avoid noname nobrand products because they have nosupport. Use quotes around keywords. Some search engines (eBay) have a NOT function (use -keyword on eBay) which can help get rid of a lot of noise. Use one search engine (say eBay) to find what you want, then use keywords like brand name from that to do a search for somewhere that will sell you the product new with a warranty. Using "site:reddit.com" still works to find actual people offering opinions on a product; do something similar for products in particular classes (e.g., looking for music gear, use site:reverb.com). Talk to a reference librarian about how to narrow searches, many of them are experts at this.
I once worked with a guy who took the opposite approach: I had a PR that made some simple changes to existing code to make it possible to test it. He refused to approve my PR, because he considered this cheating.
Living in a country where atheism is the most common religion amoung my age group, I'm not sure that I've ever seen marriage as a religious arrangement.

I think for most people it's more of a costly signal of commitment. Although some people prefer a civil partnership instead, to codify a defacto relationship.
I had kids who were in their 20s when in my low 40s and now have a five year old at 60. I am convinced my energy level continues to be good because I'm spending it interacting with her. Last week I even fell off the slide at the playground while playing tag :)

>2.) I’m only adjacent to security but have heard of Wiz. If you work in security and haven’t, are you sure you’re good enough to subject us to your opinion?

For some reason I picked this hill to die on in this thread. I work in IT security for a long time, and I have never heard of Wiz. My focus is malware reverse engineering and adjacent subfields. I have no interest in anything Cloud.

"are you sure you’re good enough to subject us to your opinion" feels a bit dismissive.
Did they disable the comment thread visibility for anon/not-logged-in users? I hope they deleted the comments instead of only hiding them from the public eye.
> have kids when younger - when you have more strength and stamina

I remember chatting with our midwife, and she commented how well (physically) young women (<~23) handle birthing and after. Economically, culturally, and emotionally it's not a great idea these days though.
Not to mention more grandparnetal help! Having a kid in my 20s has left me with a massive village to help raise them.
This one seems interesting, though I don't see any connection to the assassination.

It describes an agent, AMCARBON-1, who remained an agent during a career in journalism. It describes a couple of news stories that were apparently cultivated under the supervision of the CIA, including one about a stolen shrimp boat.

Is this perhaps one of many similar documents describing what came to be known as Operation Mockingbird?

> They control the territory.

Only after a voluntary retreat, so that is irrelevant since they didn't have power at the time of the treat, and were not a factor in the decision to retreat.

> It is a weird definition of "victory", when the end of the war was a hasty and poorly executed retreat.

Of course it was a victory. The Taliban were ousted within weeks and then the place was under US control for 20 years. If it wasn't a victory, the last 20 years would have been like the last year instead of what they were like.
I also don't understand having a search interface not front-and-center and under the weird sub-brand of "SepiaSearch".
How'd that happen, if you don't mind me asking?

Do you have a much younger partner, or are they not your biological child?
It's not that it's rude per se, it's that users of this site who aren't from the US find it irksome when a subject that isn't the US comes up and someone invariably pivots it to talk about the US and current events.

It's okay to talk about stuff that isn't contemporary American politics or even sit the conversation out and observe others talking about non American subjects.

Not everything has to be about America.
Are you arguing that ASLR is “security via obscurity”?
Emphasizing voting with your wallet means those with the most money dictate how things work. Google and Apple vote with their wallet all the time. When they’re buying competitors, buying preferential treatment for each other, and buying law makers and regulators.

We aren’t going to out bid them on any of these things. We have to make it illegal, and vote in people who will enforce the laws.
Microsoft literally renamed their Office Suite to more prominently feature Copilot.
On 2, I've seen this go the other way. The capital is going towards the business and not the (maybe questionable) lifestyle of the founders.

Once it's a full fledged business with a steady income stream, an above average salary would then be warranted.
I also married in my early twenties (21 actually) and am still happily married over a decade later. No regrets for me; I was lucky to find someone compatible early on and we were able to grow together. Yes undoubtedly you sacrifice some experiences choosing this path but I cherish that bond and antidote to loneliness. There's something comforting about having someone so close for important parts of your life spanning a long time. A real partner to the challenges so you don't have to do everything alone.

I was hesitant to share but I thought it would be better in the end. We often hear of negative experiences (divorce, abuse, etc.) but I regularly hear about couples quietly enjoying their long relationships together. Feels right to offer a counter-point to those stories to say it's not always a mistake.
It's absolutely wild seeing comments like this on a supposed hacker community.

This is the same reason why a faster garbage collector makes a huge difference to compiled code compared to interpreted.

When an AST interpreted languages gets a VM, gets native code, each step reveals GC to be slow.

You might go from 1% time spent in the GC to 15% to 60% (numbers of out thin air).
Ubuntu is still building for CPUs with the x86-64-v1 feature set. On experimental images built for x86-64-v3 (roughly the feature set of 10 year old CPUs, a bit newer on low-power CPUs) they have observed 60% improvement on some benchmarks (and much less in some others). Some distros have switched to -v3, Ubuntu is still holding out to support older hardware. The author is compiling to the actual feature set of their specific CPU, which is nearly guaranteed to be even more than -v3.

Another thing the article adds is LTO, which in my experience also makes a huge difference: it makes your software a lot faster in certain cases, but also makes build times a lot worse. Spending a bit more time in the build process should be an easy call, but might be harder at the scale of a distro.
Nobody buys an iPhone expecting it to be an open device. You can't even sideload apps on it.
If you don't think that a walled garden locked into an ecosystem of hardware isn't already a cess pool - then I don't know what is.

Hardware should be able to be interoperable. Apple chooses not to, it's in their best interest because they claim "security" and "privacy" for it's users. Security theater for the masses.
Do people who get together at 18 wait until 35 to have kids? I bet it is rare unless they are on some other mission in life.
I think a lot of it is you have a chance to grow a bit together before your habits, desires, and life goals have calcified. I'd really have a hard time dating now in middle age, as I really have little enthusiasm to "meet in the middle" like I did when in my 20s.
> Democracy doesn't work when ordinary people are not educated

When USA was formed and for the first couple hundred years of its existence, most people in it didn't have a high school or college degree. In fact many of the founders of the United States had no degree, including Benjamin Franklin, who was a newspaper editor, scientist, statesman and inventor.

Literacy can be learned by the 5th grade by most people. It can continue to be improved by self-study. Other skills can be learned by life experience.

Modern schooling can mostly be faked. It's pretty easy to breeze your way through a four year degree these days. Professors are even incentivized to make the courses easy. Hell, you can even have LLMs do your homework for you these days.

It doesn't sound like much of a wild guess to me. Basically every single publication is letting customers sample their news before paying (free articles, free trials, etc). This is just more of the same.
