Not from what I've heard, see [0] for example In 1993, Ukraine wanted to "dismantle only 36 percent of its delivery vehicles and 42 percent of its warheads, leaving the rest under Ukrainian control." Only US promising them mo

how would that work? Maybe the current force is protected, but if there is no new US hires, then teams will slowly shift due to people retiring or leaving. "sorry, no more open positions in the US... but don't worry, you are getti

Sure they can. Imagine the unions that make it hard to fire people - either because of individual performance, or because of downsizing. 1. Tech workers are currently treated well - good hours, good salary, great benefits, etc... (until the

yes? pretty sure state-sponsored healthcare is going to be much better, both for individual and population, than the current mess that US has. You should not require unions just to get help with your health problems.

found your other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43426826 very smart! You duplicate the number while only keeping last few digits, to get basically O(n) complexity. Much better than my idea.

No, I did not forget. First of all, 1584 years of CPU time is not that bad.. if your university has a lab of 200 computers, each with 64 cores, that's already 45 days. If there is SETI-like system which lets researchers run their code

It seems pretty cut-and-dry to me: the website owner should opt-out if they don't like the deal (being indexed in this case). In the "link tax" case, there were plenty of trivial ways to opt out of headline usage - robots.txt

It's not about secret vs public, it's about resource overload on the websites. Existing crawlers so far mostly respected robots.txt, the LLM crawlers don't. You, as a user, might not care, but as servers keep going down, more

It is 10^10 cases, checking numbers up to 2^(10^10). The numbers themselves are pretty big (~9 gigabytes each if you want to write full binary representation), but nothing that modern computers can't handle.

by theamk 2y ago
This is plausible with brute-force, perhaps with some basic optimization. You only need to test 10^10 values, and that is just less than 2^34 cases. Not hard to brute force at all, and trivial to parallelize too.

That's just one part. The real value is it's linter for _any_ cloud config - you can use terraform or cloudformation or just click around in user interface, and Wiz's rules would still work.

hm... so a tech startup making millions in profits (tiny office for 10 people) should pay less taxes than a grocery store that barely breaks even? I am not sure I'd agree.

I don't think it would help in this case, when the entire process can be replaced with malicious version. It just won't make the Capscium call. What you really want is something external and easily inspectable, such as systemd per

I'd recommend going with postgres if there is a good chance you'll need it, instead of starting with SQLite and switching later - as their capabilities and data models are quite different. For small traffic, it's pretty simpl

I don't think you can blame this on vendors / cloud providers - many of the worst offenders there use JVM or CLR (looking at you, Atlassian!) But I think your other points are pretty good, and match my experience: - The "free
