do you want to kill every company that is an intermediary? do you want to kill every single super market?

cause that's how you kill 50% of the businesses.


I don't think he's thought it through. It would kill more than 50% of businesses.

Besides, the state typically does take a cut of every transaction, in VAT or sales tax. This holds true even in the UK, and it's 20% which is close to the corporate tax rate on profits at 25%.

What are sales taxes? Because VAT is only applied to the final transaction. VAT fraud is probably the most common tax fraud because of its availability for anyone without morality who own a business (or is close to a business owner), as it's easy to write off VAT.


It takes a cut of every consumer transaction. Businesses don't pay VAT on their materials for the products they sell.

"BREAKING: Visa raises interchange fees by 1%, every business closes."

You get how crazy that sounds, right?


This again proves that realistically we're hardware bound (waiting for nvidia to release bigger, more efficient and better hardware.

We won't see any improvements until the next generation of hardware comes out and allows us to do things that were computationally impossible before.

Yes, of course we can develop better transformers and improve reasoning capabilities, but that's not what I am talking about. I am mostly referencing the ability for newest "AI" hardware to multiply 256 matrices in a single clock cycle per core.


If you plug in for 10 minutes you can watch 41h of video in a day!


You still have to announce your used ranges, so unless you announce /64's it's pretty much the same thing.


Most ISPs don't allow BGP announcements smaller than /48 so you don't get any usefull information from that.


But the smallest range you can announce is /48, that's still way too vast to scan completely.


Overwatch does this just fine and deadlock actually.


> deadlock actually how do you know? has there been a technical deep dive published?


Opening the console and seeing rollback net-code pretty much says enough. Also the game itself feels great to play even with 160ms ping which is only really possible when using architecture similar to overwatch.


Why clojure (and by proxy Java?). I don't have a problem with either, but it puzzles me quite a bit.

Why not the standard node.js with shared module? Assuming performance is not the primary goal.

Why not generated rust structures from model file and a rust server? Assuming performance is the primary goal.

Why not a jvm with a lightweight runtime? (Assuming instancing is used for scale here, a lot of wasted ram usage here)


Clojure was made with databases and concurrency in mind. We've used it at previous startups, projects, and find it a productive language.

Also the clojure community is amazing. The clojurians slack is one of the most helpful communities for solving hard problems. Stopa will be giving a talk at at the conj later this year [1]

IDA has gone full corporations since 8.0, but before that china always used to leak the latest version.

Ironically this time IDA 9.0 was leaked by... hexrays themselves, including lumina, hexvault, etc. Pretty sure it was meant to be a demo page in defcon, but someone leaked the URL.

Binary Ninja is a solid competitor if you don't mind cleaning up the binaries before hand to clear up opaque jumps or have 256GB of ram.


If you're looking for a package in C you're probably using c for the wrong purpose.


No true Scotsman. I guess people using Rust for low level development are also wrong.


There's nothing wrong with using Rust for low level development.


Accounts like these can be used later on to boost topics.


I understand the potential nefarious motives for spamming the site with LLM comments. It's just that there isn't really any evidence in this case that the comment is generated by an LLM. I wouldn't be surprised if it was, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.


There's a huge swarm of recent spam accounts with submissions and generated comments that follow the same naming pattern e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=MetricsMaverick

It's not much in the way of evidence but could be another reason people find it sus.
