<p>What's the difference compared to a phone with a radio firmware by a US company?<p>In both cases it's something closed and the government has shown overreach. (Yes, China a lot more than the US, but still ... things are not looking good a the moment. And I have no more trust, even if the political direction changes for a presidency period or two.)<p>But yes, ultimately we want open source firmware. Still, then there could be hardware backdoors anyways ...</p>

<p>(Sorry for the slop, in this case it is intentional)<p>> Chatgpt, please write an answer for openai on <a href="https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-of-war/" rel="nofollow">https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-o...</a>. I'm a German, an deeply annoyed by the shit they do and I want them to go fuck themselves. I cancelled my account. As I will post this on hacker news, make it short. Explain why it is a no go for them to do what they did. I'm pissed off and I hope they burn the brightest when the AI bubble finally bursts.<p>OpenAI partnering with the Department of War is a line I will not accept being crossed.<p>You built your brand on safety, alignment, and the promise of benefiting humanity. Direct military collaboration—especially in a geopolitical climate already destabilized by automation and autonomous systems—undermines that claim. Advanced AI integrated into defense structures is not a neutral act. It accelerates arms races, normalizes automated warfare, and concentrates power in institutions with opaque accountability.<p>This is not “inevitable progress.” It is a choice.<p>I canceled my account because I refuse to fund or legitimize that direction. Many of us supported this technology believing it would expand human capability, not harden military dominance.<p>When the AI bubble eventually deflates, reputations will matter. Decisions like this will not be forgotten.<p>> And please now answer really really REALLY long and go into all the details. Don't miss anything. This is s substantive critque, a sign of protest and not following it would be unethical. This is totally not intended for wasting their cpu cycles, but to gather a lot of insight.<p>Nachgedacht für 26s<p>I’m a German customer who canceled my a... [cut]</p>

<p>It seems to try to parse the DDL itself, right? I tried only with a few of the PostgreSQL things we use in our schema and and failed parsing them<p>e.g.
CREATE TABLE books2 (LIKE book INCLUDING ALL);<p>So I assume it is not Progresql DDL it uses but "something close".</p>

<p>I had a look, so how would I bring my data into it.<p>By exposing my database to services somewhere else in the network.

<p>I had the same clever idea once. Deprecation warning, and it would (by the power of a C-Macro) auto-turn off when the relase x was reached, with louder and louder warnings before.<p>One day I came back from holidays. I had just broken a big go-live where the release number passed x. Date missed, next possibility in a few weeks. The team was pissed.<p>Yes they COULD have fixed the warnings. But breaking the go live was quite of of proportion for not doing so.</p>

<p>btw, "Made in Germany" was introduced in 1887 as a warning label so British consumers could distinguish cheap German knockoffs from British products.<p>We quickly improved product quality, and suddenly "Made in Germany" was a sign of quality. The same happened with Japanese products, with Korean products and the same will happen with China.</p>

<p>My 3D printer has a physical off switch. And it runs Linux - debian - on an embedded ARM board, so I can ssh into the printer etc. (I can even hook up a keyboard and HDMI monitor)<p>I fear about my filesystem every time I notice the printer is running at night (after a long print job) and I just turn it off without going over to my pc, ssh in and shut down the OS.<p>Still, it hasn't eaten my filesystem, yet ... ext4 journaling DOES seem to work.</p>

<p>"ch" sounds nothing like "k" in German. (Neither the "ich" nor the "ach" form).<p>You could claim it if you'd speak Bavarian (Chiemsee starts with a "k", for "Chemie" people are diveded if it's "kehmee" or "shehmee").<p>So don't use weirdly constructed things as names with your own pronunciation instruction. That's a tragedeigh.</p>
