You should take the L on this one. Even if you got a "Show HN" post about JAI, I don't think the tech bros are going to be keen on a NSFW AI chatbot website. You still don't have a subscription offering after 2+ years. The users still wonder who in the hell pays to keep the lights on.
The AI bubble will pop in the next year. We are currently in 1998 of the dotcom bubble with another AI winter approaching. LLM and generative AI are this year’s “on the Internet” or “Uber for X” business plans.
Given the direction of the economy, we'd hit a recession and no one will be investing. So a loss for all tech. I argue we already are in one, but the US election cycle wants to delay that reality until 2025.
Though the US did do a pretty big rate cut. I imagine that will at least stall such a bubble burst into 2026 instead.
The economy bubble will be popped post-election (you will know when the Fed starts raising rates again), but CRE (commercial real estate) is likely the catalyst this time.
Within CRE, datacenters are the only item in the green in investors eyes, even more now because of the AI boom. I fully expect that class of investor to then dump more money than ever into energy generation and other sectors related to AI in order to escape the planned crash.
The biggest variable is if the supranational oligarchs are wanting to use this crash to cause a much more major shift in monetary policy such as CBDCs.
The market PE is very high and has been high for a while. Tech and AI are fueling a lot of that. Look what happened to Tesla when the fundamentals started getting a little discouraging. However, I'm not comfortable predicting the "AI bubble" popping next year.
I use it all the time for my QEMU VMs. It’s less hassle than OVS and allows you to configure some complex networks with just a few socket files and tunnels.
I use one VDE switch per network with each network having a single tap interface to my OS bridges. It has been a feature of QEMU since 0.15 and the performance is just as good as taps or OVS.
Charities can hide their percentages when they self-deal with people on their board. It's highly unethical.
Wreaths Across America is notorious for this. All the money they raise goes to the wreath making company that the board members own. When they put out RFPs, as per legal requirements, Worcester Wreath Company is always sole-source provider.

Worcester Wreath Company lost its contract with LL Bean due to their bad busines practices. Wreaths Across America was created by Morril Worcester as a way to sell more wreaths. It's a grift all the way down.
ERAM is multichannel, which is why we do the failover between A-channel and B-channel during APL and OS CUTO. If I remember the SSMs right, we do the update on the B-channel first and once it has been approved by TechOps, A-channel is then updated.
Everything is built to provide a fallback in cause of failure, including the OS updates when they come in.
How are the interstitial ads handled in an OS such as this? Is the ad running time factored into the control system on the kernel level? Do the operators have a realtime safe button press to "skip ad" in high traffic situations?
When privatization is in the news, we like to joke, "I have a Venmo username to send $20 for a practice approach, advise when ready to copy."
Or, "Airlines123, ten miles from POINT, fly heading 360 until established on the localizer, cleared ILS Runway 1 approach. This approach brought to you by <advertiser>."
I've been purchasing older O'Reilly books off of Ebay for the past couple of years. My most recent purcahse was Applying RCS and SCCS by Don Bolinger, which is split between RCS, SCCS, and describing software configuration management in general.
The SCCS interleave format lived in BitKeeper and PVCS/Dimensions.
We've been using Guacamole everywhere after OpenText EOLed Exceed OnDemand and tried to charge way too much for their replacement, FastX. The little bastards even demanded to know what our internal architecture was before they would give us a demo copy to test.
We told them politely where to stick it. Ever since then, we've been using Guacamole everywhere and even created an extension called CHIPS. The developer had a good sense of humor for that.
I use a PIV Badge as a FAA contractor. We're told to never use the PIV badge as a means of identification anywhere. The documentation doubles down by mentioning to never use it as an ID at an airport. I've been told it is because FAA employees would use it and the airline workers would then freak out that the employee was there to inspect them.
> We're told to never use the PIV badge as a means of identification anywhere
I must be misunderstanding what you mean by this, because I'm struggling to fathom what possible use a "personal identity verification badge" could possibly have _other_ than as a means of identifying yourself.
I’m a contractor for DHS and heard a rumor a long time ago that you could get special treatment with TSA agents when using your DHS badge as identification. Yeah no. Doesn’t work :) Southwest did give me a free drink one time though and thanked me for my service - they saw the laptop and piv plugged in while I was working on the plane and thought I was military. I did correct them but also took the free drink.
The PIN is required to get the card to perform cryptographic operations, not list certificates -- although the certificates aren't a secret, within DOD there's sites like DOD411 to get anyone's certificate, though I haven't checked for an FPKI equivalent.
The real reason not to use your PIV for ID in random places is that it's meant to be used as an ID for you acting as your official capacity. This can also be seen in the case where people have multiple PIVs to represent their multiple identities, like National Guard who may have a PIV as a contractor and a PIV as a National Guard -- they would use the correct one depending on what capacity they are acting, or none if it's not part of their official duties.
