accra4rx··on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending on AI data centers will pay off
I mean why not , they have to put something down to make their quantum show as better ROIs
accra4rx··on DeepSeek releases Janus Pro, a text-to-image generator [pdf]
very balanced thought. World does run on incentives and social structure defines a major role . I am not sure how AI can ever replace that . I love your analogy of 70s word processor . I have always referred AI to my folks that it is nothing but an updated version of clippy
accra4rx··on The impact of competition and DeepSeek on Nvidia
Love those analogies . This is one of main reason I love hacker news / reddit . Honest golden experiences
accra4rx··on Explainer: What's r1 and everything else?
self improving only when it knows how to test itself . if the test is predictable outcome defined by humans most companies are going to fine tune to pass self improving test , but what happens next . Improvement is vague in terms of who seeks the benefit and may not fall as how humans have thought over millions of years of evolution.
accra4rx··on PostgreSQL is the Database Management System of the Year 2024
Go Babelfish
accra4rx··on Does current AI represent a dead end?
think more deeply . who benefits with super intelligence ? at the end it is game of what humans desire naturally. AI has no incentive and are not controlled by hormones.
accra4rx··on OnlyFans models are using AI impersonators to keep up with their DMs
Unless the smell or pheromones are mimicked and can be passed virtually, there is no match to actual physical replacement.
accra4rx··on Ban on women marrying after 25: the proposal to boost birth rate in Japan
This is how political ideology often gains ground:

First, an initially outrageous idea is introduced. Over time, this idea is gradually normalized, becoming more acceptable. Eventually, it’s implemented with the support of hidden allies who were quietly aligned all along."

Thank you sir, I am going to get a sound card with 192Khz and try that out
accra4rx··on Perceptually lossless (talking head) video compression at 22kbit/s
why does he has to deep fake Imran Hashmi the serial kisser

accra4rx··on AWS CEO tells employees to quit if they do not want to RTO
seems like chime can have a disagree button. problem solved btw : chime is one of the most worst product Amazon has ever built
accra4rx··on Show HN: NotesHub: cross-platform, Markdown-based note-taking app
In Obsidian , you can even sync to github or dropbox with community plugins . so price wise it is free Also Obsidian has much better search (using community plugin) which is lacking in noteshub
accra4rx··on Always have a comma in your password, if part of a leak it will break the CSV
comma being a very common and probably common when many organization are enforcing special character policy . For those big exports , they are probably not dumping out as csv , it would be light weight db file . I assume sqllite
accra4rx··on COBOL has been “dead” for so long, my grandpa wrote about it
[I work as a SA] . There are many companies that don't have a original COBOL source code only compiled objects which has been running for more than few decades. How can you guarantee that it will run perfectly in k8s . Major companies can never take that risk unless you give them some insurance against failure
accra4rx··on OpenAI and Anthropic agree to send models to US Government for safety evaluation
Bigger question : Is US Government ready to do a comprehensive safety evaluation ? I think it it a cheap way for OpenAI and Anthropic to get a vetting that their models are safe to use and be adaptable by various Govt entity and other organization
accra4rx··on Zettlr: Note-Taking and Publishing with Markdown
The plugin "Remote Sync" works well too . It supports S3 , Drop box and many other cloud targets

Never heard mainframe going down
accra4rx··on Sora: Creating video from text
More layoffs
accra4rx··on Interviewing my mother, a mainframe COBOL programmer (2016)
Just because IBM stuff is legacy doesnot means it is slow. Almost nobody is moving from a commercial database (Db2 for z/OS) to PostgreSQL because of performance. It is all to do with huge licensing cost. Talk to any veterans nothing matches the speed and stability of mainframe. search about z16 (tell me anything that guarantees 9 nines of availability)
accra4rx··on Show HN: Bi-directional sync between Postgres and SQLite
You stole my words! Thank you again for sharing this option. I just knew about big brands OracleGate , Qlik, IBM IIDR etc but this is interesting. I hope somebody shares the experience with the Pro version and how was the support experience.?
accra4rx··on Supreme Court strikes down affirmative action in college admissions
exactly. I have a kid in 4th grade . He got bad grades all year in his internal assessments. All the teacher would do is circle out the mistakes for silly mistakes. My kid scored a 96 percentile , toping all the 4th grader in his school My kid knows how to solve and understand the concepts just lack in describing it. I completely favor standardize test as there was no person involved to judge (who can also be biased).
accra4rx··on IBM shifts remaining US-based AIX dev jobs to India – source
you have emulation for mainframe on x86, they give you a free 3 days emulated development env on their cloud if you sign up or else you can buy ADCD license and install it locally. other alternative is to use Hercules as emulator (only works with old ADCD images)
accra4rx··on Courts are using risk-assessment software to sentence criminals
what if somebody takes a 5th and doesnot answer any question. would'nt that force court to comply some manual process and come to a conclusion
