The CSU has a history of putting people in charge that do not benefit germany but bavaria (the only part of germany where the party CSU is active), e.g. Andreas Scheuer [1][2].

Notable recent examples of corruption are the Maskenaffäre [4] or Julia Klöckner and Nestlé ("Julia Klöckner and Nestlé show how the greasy closeness between politics and business can go too far" [5]).

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Scheuer: "Scheuer's ministry is said to have broken budgetary and public procurement law when concluding the multi-billion dollar contracts with the operators and "deliberately deceived" the Bundestag about the real costs of the car toll."

[2] Söder (party leader of CSU) said about Scheuer: "I don't know not many ministers that bring so much money to bavaria as Andreas Scheuer" [3]

[3] German: "Bei allem, was der ein oder andere kritisiert an dem Andi Scheuer: Ich kenne wenige Minister, die so viel Geld nach Bayern holen, wie der Andi Scheuer. Auch das muss man einfach mal in der Bilanz ehrlicherweise bitte nach draußen sagen."

Is there anything I could read detailed explanation of issue, in particular w.r.t datastar?

Prison and Crime: Much More Than You Wanted to Know: Thoughts
I’m aware my son is an outlier, but I’m rather proud of his working out the square root(s) of i without even having algebra yet (he’s in fifth grade). Last year I taught him how to solve simple linear equations (ax + b = c) and expanded that to ax + b = cx + d, but he’s been mostly an autodidact with his advanced math (consulting youtube videos and books from the library).

But yeah, there seems not to be a lot of assumption of familiarity with complex numbers beyond the basics of their existence and maybe some simple arithmetic on numbers in the form a + bi which other than i² = −1 is just following the usual rules for polynomial arithmetic. I was surprised at how much basic content on complex numbers was included in the first chapter of my graduate text on complex analysis.
They're in precisely the same position the Republicans were in before Trump: they're the only viable and not completely-detestable party for about half the voters, but are doing a really bad job of working on what those voters want.

Republican Party leadership in 2015-2016 wanted more of business as usual, and to keep power. Trump came in talking just like an actual Republican voter in a midwestern diner, with the credibility of being a party outsider, which cut the legs out from under them because they have sucked at representing their actual voters for decades. This struck such a grievous blow that he quickly took over the entire party. Then he either actually did things Republicans had been selling voters on for years but not delivering (Roe v Wade, gone, thanks to his Supreme Court), or at least kind-of ineptly tried to do things Republican voters have long wanted but Republican politicians never really even tried to do (the stupid wall, tariff China, destroy [well, uh, replace with a barely-different agreement, but whatever, names matter] NAFTA).

It took him bumbling his way through a pandemic to lose, and not by that much, he'd almost certainly have gotten a second term if not for sheer chance despite all the blatant corruption and daily incredibly stupid bullshit, that is how effective this strategy was.

Democrats won't improve and will struggle to win elections until something similar happens to their party. This will need to include abandoning strident neoliberal economic policy, as it did for the Republicans, because voters never liked that and it only worked because both parties stuck to it regardless.

... all of this is assuming we have free & fair Federal elections again.
Fraunhofer is (by now) only financed 30% through tax money and 70% comes from the royalties on their past developments like MP3 and H264 and H265 and MPEG-H.

Anyway, Fraunhofer gets recurring tax funding. What voize got is a one-off research grant to a group of companies:

- voize

- Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin (a medical university)

- Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz GmbH, Berlin (a government AI research lab)

- Connext Communication GmbH, Paderborn (a tech company)

- Kleeblatt Pflegeheime gGmbH, Ludwigsburg (a retirement home, i.e. potential end user)

- Pflegewohnhaus am Waldkrankenhaus gGmbH, Berlin (another retirement home)

For this grant type, it's quite common that you pay the inventors, some assistant companies, some researchers, and some end users a lump sum to force them all to work together on commercializing the invention.

I'm not that curious.

There are simple arguments that Collatz should do what it seems to do that certainly hold up for most N, it's the "all N" part that's hard.

I'd expect the form of an answer to Collatz to have a form similar to Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Not just "too big to fit in the margin" but more like six years of work in isolation, huge manuscript and all.
Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads
Training data at scale unavoidably taints models with vast amounts of references to the same widespread ideas that appear repeatedly in said data, so because the model has "seen" probably millions of photos of Indiana Jones, if you ask for an image of an archeologist who wears a hat and uses a whip, it's weighted averages are going to lead it to create something extremely similar to Indiana Jones because it has seen Indiana Jones so much. Disintegrating IP into trillions of pieces and then responding to an instruction to create it with something so close to the IP as to barely be distinguishable is still infringement.

The flip-side to that is the truly "original" images where no overt references are present all look kinda similar. If you run vague enough prompts to get something new that won't land you in hot water, you end up with a sort of stock-photo adjacent looking image where the lighting doesn't make sense and is completely unmotivated, the framing is strange, and everything has this over-smoothed, over-tuned "magazine copy editor doesn't understand the concept of restraint" look.

> comprehensive public transportation infrastructure, universal healthcare without administrative bloat, and urban planning that prioritizes livability over speculation.

This can't be further from the truth. This is probably written by an American, and US is a very car-centric, but German infrastructure is a shitshow.

Also healthcare is absolutely stiffled by bureaucracy. I have a friend who is a cardiologist. He says that exactly half of his work time is paperwork. And not just paperwork, but German paperwork, where you manually type PDF fields one by one, then print, then sign, then scan and so on.
No. I'm saying what you call "factual reporting" is inaccurate and dishonest propaganda. And the "opinion pieces" I'm sharing are all based on facts and realities.

If any source is deserving of a comparison to InfoWars here it's HRW itself. You can't unilaterally smear every right-of-center source as completely untrustworthy and expect to stay on the side of reality for long.

No docs or info without signing up, confusing Grok and Groq, and claiming you have access to o4 models which haven't been released makes this look like an incredibly unserious offering.
Not even remotely the same. Democrats haven't had both chambers of Congress and the presidency since the first half Obama's first term, and even then, he didn't have the courts. The best they could do was pass Dodd-Frank to prevent the next financial crisis and ACA, which the courts promptly watered down. Obama's threat of a public option in the ACA had so much money against it that the Democrats lost the legislature in the midterm election. Trump has both chambers of Congress and the courts on his side.

If you want to fix things, you need to educate voters. There are no procedures that can help you if all three branches of the government are against you.

The normal term for this is "manic delusion of grandeur", so please help me out:
3n walks congruence classes +1 steps each one out of alignment /2 never changes that fact

Accumulating co-primeness is the "memory" that stops n from repeating. This is invariant under 2^k, which allows it to make forward progress through the chaos. Exhausting congruence classes mod 3 forces n to a power of 2; game over.

I asked AI to prove those things, and it did. I assume.

The only question then would be if 1.5n can grow the residue vector quickly enough to outrun the exhaustive walk. I asked AI that too, and got back a one page p-word. I'm not even going to type it.

I can sweet-talk AI into agreeing with damned near anything, so I'm stuck. This is the only forum I know with consistently thoughtful conversation, and I can't think my way out of this one, and I have real work to do.

Is there a mathematician in the house? The p-word is in a comment.
LLMs could help if they were specifically applied to the task [1], however people are actually applying them to the generation of countless slop videos. Google's problem, which I think there is no cure for, is that Google believes it is #1 and to quote Fatboy Slim "We're #1 why try harder?" If in some way they feel they have competition it is to be a 2nd rate TikTok, not be a better version of what made YouTube great.

In the meantime, for everybody that's been turned on to something really awesome and creative on YouTube somebody else got turned on to something really toxic.

> Likewise, most devs don't want to learn an obscure language for one job even if they are more than capable. Either they get stuck doing that language or they earn a hole in their resume instead of additional experience in what future employers care about.

This is less of an issue with accumulated experience. Personally I would actually welcome the kind of job that would involve learning a new niche language, since I already have >10 years of experience in several mainstream languages, and there's diminishing returns wrt resumes and interviews past this point.
> The problem is not the bureaucracy

The problem is definitely bureaucracy. Any German founder will agree with this.

Thanks for the links — I went through all of them (took me a while). The point about rack density differences between SRAM-based systems like Cerebras or Groq and GPU clusters is now clear to me.

What I’m still trying to understand is the economics.

From this benchmark:
https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/llama-4-scout/providers...

Groq seems to offer near lowest prices per million tokens and the near fastest end to end response times. That’s surprising because in my understanding, speed(latency) and the cost are trade-offs.

So I’m wondering:
Why can’t GPU-based providers can't offer cheaper but slower(high-latency) APIs?
Or do you think Groq/Cerebras are pricing much below cost (loss-leader style)?
> People hate AI images, cut and dry.

People hate bad AI images, because they hate bad images, period. They don't hate good AI images, and when they see great AI images, they don't even realize they are made by AI.

It's true, there's a deluge of bad art now, and it's almost entirely AI art. But it's not because AI models exist or how they're trained - it's because marketers[0] don't give a fuck about how people feel. AI art is cheap and takes little effort to get - it's so cheap and low-effort, that on the lower end of quality scale, there is no human competition. It makes no economic sense to commission human labor to make art this bad. But with AI, you can get it for free - and marketing loves this, because, again, they don't care about people or the commons[1], they just see an ability to get ahead by trading away quality for greater volume at lower costs.

In short: don't blame bad AI art on AI, blame it on people who spam us with it.

Soldering contamination mainly comes from ingestion. Touching it, having small particles of lead burn off and land on your skin, then in your mouth (or eyes, elsewhere). Even so, by washing hands and wearing light PPE it’s fine.

Because if that, many people consider the ban of industrial lead solder to be over-zealous. But that ban is in place to stop consumers being contaminated if they somehow touch the board. Also to minimise lead entering the water table once it is discarded.
At the peak there were around 600 deaths per day, I believe a lot of those were in care homes, but even if not that's less than 1 in 12000 people per day, so 1 or 2 ambulances per day to a single apartment building still feels like an exaggeration to me, almost like propaganda...

I also guess it would be hard to accredit anything to the vaccines as you originally asserted, if it was actually all down to plucky New Yorkers mask wearing and social distancing

AGI, I believe, given the prior article the author cited in the beginning.
Since nobody here has actually read the article, it states that the reason the posts were taken down was "prohibits incitement to terrorism praise for acts of terrorism and identification or support of terror organizations." This type of speech (incitement) is illegal in the United States and support is very borderline depending on the type and meaning of "support". Now, if the reason doesnt match the actual content removed that should definitely be addressed which is your point, but I think that the reason is valid.
Sitting here rolling my eyes at your response. Seriously, fuck off.
I think GP comment was one of expressed emotions, feelings, on the topic. It's not neurotic, though maybe I don't understand the word, rather it's something very human, coming from personal belief. I admit that HN isn't the community to grieve with, but a place of academic curiosity and disciplined discourse, but I personally understand it.

I just know that this is a comment from a German person who has little experience with public transport in any non-top-class country. Yeah, it could be better, but it could also be so much worse.

> Also healthcare is absolutely stiffled by bureaucracy

This I agree with.
This is a common sentiment..and was quite prevalent especially in the whole ‘abolish ICE’ movement. But I always fail to see in these arguments the explicit distinction between the two divisions of ICE - ERO (enforcement and removal operations) and HSI (homeland security investigations). It’s like grouping together the beat cops and the detectives - they work in the same precinct, but vastly different jobs. HSI also houses other programs like SEVIS, which admittedly has lots of its own issues, but manages all foreign students in the US and interfaces with universities for reporting purposes.

Now HSI is undoubtedly informing some of the immigrant raids, and the leadership of ICE is now clearly oriented to the right, but there are some what I’d call non-partisan things the agency is doing that we don’t want abolished.

Not picking on you at all, I just wish more of these arguments dove a little deeper into all that ICE does.

>Germans live significantly longer (81.1 years vs America's 76.4)

Got to point out a nuance here.

Americans living shorter are partly the result of America's success. An aggressive big pharma and a health care system that over medicates the population and give them bad advise ( eg nutrition) is one reason why they live less. Often more technology/business is not necessarily good. Germany's overall better outcome with result to life expectancy can be attributed to their incompetence/bureaucracy but certainly not a conscious decision to be better.
And the win goes to China, as always. Well played.
I’m too stupid to navigate this topic in anything other than a crude and adolescent way, however I think it could be tricky for pro-palestinians because they can fall easily into the trap of using party slogans used by proscribed organisations.

My understanding of Hamas is that they are not considered a legitimate army, but if they were they would be guilty of an insurmountable number of war crimes (not unlike the IDF as many would say). Showing support for such things is beyond reasonable accepted discourse in my home country.

> The days I can have even a few pure functions are few and far between. I'm honestly curious what percentage of your code bases can be this pure.

A big part of it, I'm sure, but it requires some work. Pushing the side effects to the edge requires some abstractions to not directly mess with the original mutable state.

You are, in fact designing a state diagram from something that was evolving continuously on a single dimension: time. The transition of the state diagram are the code and the node are the inputs and output of that code. Then it became clear that IOs only matters when storing and loading those nodes. Because those nodes are finite and well defined, then the non-FP code for dealing with them became simpler to write.
> Everything that isn't dross in the computer world is either a well designed standard, or a well designed algorithm

You must be hanging out in a different part of the computer world.

What I see is that most standards reflect evolved systems, and those standards usually have many amendments. Most algorithms are generation descendants of broken predecessors. I love hearing about a singular talent coming up with something new and getting the world to listen, but the story is usually way messier than that.

You can do that easily and cheaply today without a fancy transistor printer.

You can find Apple II schematics easily enough online. All the chips are common, off-the-shelf parts still available today. You can send the KiCAD drawings (also available) to a company like PCBWay and have PCBs made very cheaply and in small quantity. Then all you have to do is solder in the chips and other components and connect the board to a power supply.
I'm not quite sure what this means? DMA is the only mechanism that the SPUs had to access memory outside of their local store; it wasn't a matter of getting it right or wrong. Reading RSX memory by SPU DMA wasn't any faster than reading it from the PPU.

I agree with basically all of this. The one distinction I would make is that the pay reduction is real terms is across all kinds of domains so I don’t think it’s particularly unique of physicians, but part of a larger issue. Same with the cost of education/training etc. In other words, I think the healthcare issues you highlight may be emblematic of bigger systemic problems.

With all that said, it’s still a different argument than “pay = ability”. Put differently: the $ amount in TFA could be used to increase Congress member pay from $174k to $10MM each. Do you think that would result in better politicians?
