Simplest reason: that commandant had a vendetta against him

A rewrite of such technologies would not fix their semantic problems and related architecture decisions around tractability, debugging etc. For example, rewriting LLVM and GCC does not fix the underlying problem of missing code semantics leading to miscompilations around provenance optimizations in the backend.
Likewise, Vulkan is not an ideal driver API (to argue on GPU performance) and let's not even start with OpenGL.
POSIX is neither optimal, nor has it a formal model for process creation (security). So far there is no good one for non-micro Kernels.

From my experience with C++ I do expect
1. "verschlimmbessern"/aggravate-improving due to missing edge cases,
2. only spatial problems aka bound-checks to be usable (because temporal ones are not even theoretically discussed) and
3. even higher language complexity with slower compile times by front-end (unless C++ v2 like what Herb is doing becomes available).
> Clang and gcc do reasonable things - as you have pointed out there are helpful flags to configure it too.

Without these specific flags, they don't do 'reasonable things'. They happily assume that UB can't happen and use that information to declare certain code paths dead and optimise them away.

The simplest example is something like this:

signed char x = 20;
while(x < x+1) {
do_something();
x++;
}

GCC and Clang when told to optimise will happily assume that you have an infinite loop here. (Unless explicitly told otherwise via the compiler flags we mentioned.)

If you mean chips that do fast matrix-matrix multiplications, that definitely has a long history and was not "just started".

If you mean calculations in low precision, that's also already a decade old if not more.

Time and time again, we are beginning to come to the realization that our entire observable universe is not the whole picture, and we are almost certainly seeing only a localized portion of a much larger and grander universe.
Maybe we are near the limits of the silicon. I wonder if changing to some other medium, carbon, optical circuits etc., wouldn't allow us to benefit from Moore's law again.

Meh, the only thing you need to know about Chernobyl is

* The soviets designed a nuclear reactor and engineering plan/blueprint to making power plants

* That engineering plan required certain safety tests to be preformed before actually operating the plant

* Chernyobl did not pass those safety tests before plant operation

* Chernyobl then tried to run those safety tests after the plant was in operation (for some time).

* Chernyobl then catastrophically failed the safety tests due at least to the test setup being incorrect (you aren't supposed to be operating the plant before hand).
Maybe an unpopular opinion here, but constraints—especially around energy, are a key driver of innovation. Scarcity forces optimization. Historically, some of the most important advancements have come not from abundance, but from being forced to do more with less.
>Due to an effect called the Doppler shift, astronomers expect galaxies rotating opposite to the Milky Way’s motion to appear brighter, which could explain their overrepresentation in telescopic surveys.

I found this a little surprising as well
Does it need to be that the whole universe started with rotation, or that our visible part of the universe has a common ancestor?
Yeah I agree. The trial and error mentioned in GP needed a good amount of focused time commitment, the sort of thing at a premium in the modern attention economy of tech.
How does that follow?

I imagine there was already a preferred spin of gases immediately after the big bang, just due to random chance, so why wouldn’t that be preserved more or less?

The problem with this logic is that most university students don't go there to do science, they go there to, at best, become working experts in their field. Many employers now expect their javascript frontend developers to have a CS degree, which is simply absurd. Secondary vocational education is generally considered insufficient and tertiary vocational schools are "where you go if you can't get into university". This means universities get a huge number of applicants who want nothing to do with science or advanced theory, but just want to learn enough (and get the right paper!) to get a job in their preferred field.

This is why in Germany there exists a third form of tertiary education that is neither vocational nor universities: Fachhochschulen (often translated with "schools of applied science").
> They contain significant amounts of lithium metal, the thing that bursts into flames when in contact with water.

How does that tell you that they are dangerous? The danger with rechargeable Lithium batteries isn't that they contact water and begin to burn.
wouldn't it be the case that you would see almost exactly 50/50 if all galaxies had parallel axes and rotated in the same absolute direction?
Those two don't really compete. DNSSEC provides authenticity/integrity without privacy and DoH does exactly the opposite. If anything, you need both in order to secure DNS.

I do not think we have enough historical evidence for such an extrapolation. Human societies have been getting more and more complex, necessitating more and more complex governance. We are at a point of crisis, where the electorate is supposed to decide through voting, and our elected politicians are supposed to decide through legislation, on topics that neither the electorate, nor the elected are able to fully understand. It is not clear to me that democracy will triumph.
> (up until the 1800s, average life expectancy was barely 40!),

This is mostly tangential to your point, but life expectancy for those that survived the first five years of life has never been 40. The averages for older populations are massively dragged down by the deaths of babies and small children either in childbirth or due to infectious diseases.
And then what? Keep pulling the plug every evening? No thanks, might as well get a different non-defective setup.

That's the thing, we don't know any reason for a preferred spin and assumed it would be equally distributed. So this is an interesting fact.
A small note on Bourbaki:

Alan Sokal's famous and brilliant hoax Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity had a hilarious footnote that read (my highlighting):

> Miller (1977/78, especially pp. 24-25). This article has become quite influential in film theory: see e.g. Jameson (1982, 27-28) and the references cited there. As Strathausen (1994, 69) indicates, Miller's article is tough going for the reader not well versed in the mathematics of set theory. But it is well worth the effort. For a gentle introduction to set theory, see Bourbaki (1970).
Not to be harsh, but this article is messy, and I find myself agreeing with the commencts regarding hyperboles and AI-writing. It's a directionless nothingburger that hasn't really made any efforts to look into recent research on memory allocation and hardening.

Some examples:

In the heap-section, the article only cites ±20 year old papers and mixes user- and kernel-space allocators such as Apple's kernel kalloc_type and one for Chrome. Not to mention that the author talks about implemention heap regions per-object as if that wont introduce significant memory and performance overhead and is completely unrealistic in a comodity OS, let alone in a server setting.

The pointer integrity section ends with the statement "The above protections, in combination, can prevent complete software control by attackers able to corrupt memory." - which is not true (see recent CVE i found after a quick search [1]), even for relativly hardened Apple products that use pointer authentication and a type segregated allocator kalloc_type.

Additionally, literally the next sentence in the subsequent section contradicts the previous statement (!): "...therefore, attackers will still be able to change software behavior by corrupting memory". Really dampens the credibility.

If anyone is interested in some recent contributions in the space, I've been looking into these recently (in no particular order): SeaK [2], ViK[3] and Safeslab [4].

why? if you subscribe to big bang then all matter got the same "initial kick". would be easier to assume same spin?
They can use the resulting heat for heating a small town.
I went to give a similar answer and realized that - in the instance that the two galaxies are sideways facing each other and with the text saying “it gets brighter” not “one side gets brighter” - I’m not sure if this is the actual answer.

I can’t figure out why the Doppler Shift would make the entire galaxy brighter. I assumed it would make the rotation side spinning towards us brighter. But also redshift the side spinning away.

I think its impact on watch time depends on your goal of that session. When I'm in "looking for a specific answer" mode it does reduce my watch time, but there's plenty of times when I just want to watch youtube–and when I do, it helps me find what to watch, rather than reducing my watch time per se.
Proof of implementation should be a requirement for every proposal (allegedly it is, but in practice...).

Which would limit most "outsider" proposals mostly to library features, which would be a good thing I guess.

> The USA is not a democracy. The USA is a larger republic of a union of republics.

Democracy is a system for choosing government representation, republic is a "res publica" or a "thing of the people" where political power is bestowed upon the people by representatives, they are two sides of keeping a democratic republic.

If the USA isn't democratic but a republic then you don't select your representatives through voting, you can have representatives selected for you, and I don't believe that's the current system of government selection in place, is it?

Show HN: GhydraMCP – Agentic reverse engineering across multiple binaries
Hi HN, I was playing around with the recently posted ghidraMCP by LaurieWired (https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP) and wanted to try it on a project I'm working, but that has multiple component that interact with each other. So after fixing some minor things in ghidraMCP I went overboard and extended it to support multiple open Ghidra files and interact with all of them in the same session. I also made the HTTP interfaces more REST-like, and am working on adding more functionality to the tool, like renaming local variables.

Huge thanks to LaurieWired for the initial plugin and impetus!
Courts were an important part of south african apartheid, similar to how they are in Israel.

https://omalley.nelsonmandela.org/cis/omalley/OMalleyWeb/03l...

As was suffrage, the bantustans were in large part a solution to the risk that voting would change the balance in the national parliament. What you could vote for and what the dominant group could do to your candidates was used to reproduce and reinvent apartheid, similar to how it is used in Israel.

Another similarity is that the dominant groups in both societies are propped up by protestant christians. Yet another is using colonial practices in other countries to fund the local economy, like emerald mines in Zambia in the case of South Africa and diamonds being a main export of Israel.

Legally Israel is engaged in apartheid, which is a crime. I'd argue this in itself makes the state of Israel illegitimate, i.e. armed and other resistance towards it is either a moral obligation or at least permissible, that is, the mainstream position of early liberalism.
> Moore's Law requires a healthy competition environment for it to be likely to take effect and it's been a while since Nvidia had actual competition.

Moore's Law was an extrapolation on transistor density which is a manufacturing process in a chip foundry. NVIDIA is a fabless company that depends on physical process improvements from companies like ASML & TSMC.

So the competition you're speaking of is happening more at the foundry layer which would be TSMC vs Intel vs Samsung vs China-chip-maker (e.g. SMIC). At the lithography layer, ASML's EUV has no competition from Nikon and Canon.

Hastily thrown together translation, because I thought it captured the hacker mindset so well:

> A fundamental driver of the demo scene is to make a machine, such as a computer, do something it has not done before. This could mean, for example, creating a tailor-made program for a particular type of machine. Technically, it is about exploiting the capabilities of the machine in an efficient and novel way.

It's sad to think that the computing devices our newer generations are growing up with are trying their best to shoot down this exact use case; making the device do things no one made it do before.

Instead, everything is locked down in the name of safety, and people loosing out on the ability of just having fun by modifying devices we already own.

Hey guys, I’ve been working on this side project called Intent that does a few things to help streamline your workflow. The goal was to fix a problem I was facing – constantly switching between apps to manage tasks, notes, calendar events, and even listen to music to stay focused. With this, I’ve brought all those features together in one place to make it easier and more efficient.

I wanted to share it with you all to see if it could help anyone facing similar issues. And the best part? It’s completely free!

I’ve also got some exciting plans for the future, like:

Integrating AI agents to help with work-related research before diving into tasks.

What I really miss right now is a chrome extension that replaces the new tab page with a note taking space.

I used to use an extension called papier that had a simple interface, just the right amount of configurability and a beautiful design (particularly good color schemes). The extension got removed because of its incompatibility with the new manifest V3.

The current alternatives are either too involved with too much configuration options (i.e. distractions) and not very attractive, minimalist designs.

> two-person income households up-bidding, making it less affordable for single people/mums/dads

It should also be noted that two-person incomes are much more tax efficient than single because the tax bands are per-person rather than per-couple. So two people each on median pay (37k) would take home 60k between them. A single earner would have to be on almost 90k to take home the same amount, which would make them a top 5% earner.

> relative to our viewpoint

That would seem way more surprising than relative to a arbitrarily selected common upwards direction and it would imply that we are somehow at the center/top of the universe.
That is correct, "clockwise" only makes sense relative to a single observer: on Earth we set up out coordinate system so that the Milky Way's directed axis of rotation points one way, and most galaxies have it pointing the other way. "Clockwise / counterclockwise" makes sense for images coming from telescopes but it's not cosmologically meaningful.

Note that this is not that easy to determine:

When done manually, the determination of the direction of rotation of a galaxy can be a subjective task, as different annotators might have different opinions regarding the direction towards a galaxy rotates. A simple example is the crowdsourcing annotation through Galaxy Zoo 1 (Land et al. 2008), where in the vast majority of the galaxies different annotators provided conflicting annotations. Therefore, the annotations shown in Fig. 1 were made by a computer analysis that followed a defined symmetric model (Shamir 2024e).

The point is that we would typically assume a 50-50 ratio regardless of where you are in the universe.
How much of that is fluff?
I was born in 1980 in an Eastern European country. You could download games and software from TV, too. Provided you had the hardware to run them.

In 1986, a friend of my father, who was a computer science teacher, showed me a ZX Spectrum clone built using a Z80 CPU clone, he used at high school to teach kids.

But it wasn't until I was 10 or 11 years old, after the fall of the communist regime my parents afforded to buy me a ZX Spectrum clone, when kids in other countries already used IBM compatible PCs.

I still have fond memories of it, it was the computer where I first tried to program, typing BASIC commands from books.
