America and Israel have more than enough money. you can sit this one out, lol.

that's exactly what I meant.

And all comments critical of the current regime are getting downvoted on HN.

there's always r/politics

their employment and business opportunities depend on the hype, so they will continue to 'think' that (on xitter) despite the current SOTA of transformers-based models being <100% smarter than >3 year old GPT4, and no revolutionary new architecture in sight.

“The Russians are knocking on the door,” says Sven Weizenegger, the head of the German military’s Cyber Innovation Hub. Strategists and policymakers are counting on increasingly automated battlefield gadgetry to keep them from bursting through.

ze Russians spent the last year capturing 0.8% of Ukraine, Sven.

wow, this is by far the most random "orange man bad" I ever saw.

activism and loud complaining

I'm not sure why would you want to remind the world about that episode. those men lied, stalked, harassed, and threatened a lot of people to get that perfectly legal website exposed to very illegal DDoS attacks.

yeah. Americans are one media campaign away from having to argue for their right to possess fully semiautomatic general purpose computers with high capacity peripherals. Europeans and the rest of the collective West won't even get such courtesy, their young global leaders don't need to justify their actions to the unwashed masses.

all they really need to do is to make the Internet inaccessible from any device except the castrated thin clients that our computers are doomed to be replaced with. and that can be done trivially.

it doesn't need to be. are video games a net win for society? is porn?

who gets to decide which technology must be banned? the same people who decide which books must be burned?

because 90% of people raving about 1000% productivity boost from LLMs are students and junior-level programmers, whose productivity was nonexistent in the first place. for programmers with 5+ years of experience with the tools they're using, LLMs are a 10-20% boost, at most, and I'm saying that as a very AI-positive individual.

are you under the impression that this is the first such tool? it's not. it's not even the hundredth. this Pandora's box has been opened a long time ago.

they don't even have affordable housing in the country all those tarriffed materials and equipment come from.

and he's being honest

oh, come the fuck on. it's "AI made us do it" drivel that companies began to justify layoffs with in 2023 (!!!).

Tailwind is just another FOTM frontend thing. I saw dozens of them come, gain some popularity, then abruptly disappear once the marketing budget ran out.

Persistent high blood sugar is diabetes; it isn't dietary.

how is it not dietary if consuming most carbs spikes your blood sugar for hours, which, with three meals + snacks + starbucks slurry, means elevated blood sugar 20+ hours a day?

That industry can lobby for and basically "purchase" scientific outcomes that affect health standards should be a defcon 1 red alert.

why? the state does not need you to live past your retirement age. in fact, it's preferable if you don't.

it's not just sugar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index#Grouping

all simple carbs are the devil, but we can't possibly feed billions of people actually healthy food - organic vegetables, nuts, and animal products, so come drink your corn syrup.

we should read other people's articles

sure, and reading a LLM summary allows one to decide whether the full article is worth reading or not.

both of these require the isolated machine to be heavily compromised to begin with.

there are a lot of such extremely hypothetical attacks no one should take seriously. you might as well worry about sensitive data being exfiltrated from your unshielded optical nerve,

yes, but if your adversary is capable of exploiting a one-way diode to RCE, you might as well just give up.

because building things in Europe requires complying with a myriad laws and regulations.

no one hates Kyrgyzstan though ;)

regardless, batteries with 10% more wh/kg @ 500% the cost would be used for preciously few things, if any. after a few years of war, Russia had the presence of mind to revert to "quantity has a quality all its own" doctrine.

that depends. transferring 1 MW at 1 MV produces very little heat

cryptography

cryptography enables spies, terrorists, criminals, and dissidents to communicate over any network with absolute impunity. if it was feasible, every government in the world would have banned or "regulated" it, as some had attempted to. but in the end, they had conceded defeat, and the world had not ended.

make every human need to question the reality of any electronic audio or video they encounter, no matter how realistic?

you left out "images", which we learned to question decades ago. likewise, audio and video could also be manipulated with readily available, completely unregulated tools, to produce quite believable results.

okay. and?

tilt at this windmill all you like, but the genie is out of the bottle and there's nothing you can do about it but kvetch. you can't ban it, you can't regulate it, no more than the US government could rein in cryptography.

what the fuck are you talking about? SO, remarkably, did not get enshittified.

are the donations being distributed among the actual contributors, or do they largely go towards funding DEI initiatives? :)

but who says you have to limit yourself to one device? it's mildly inconvenient to carry more than one, sure, but the added benefit of an air gap between "serious business" and "personal life" is very much worth it, imo.

ah, I remember how vigorously the reports about that event were being purged from reddit :)

No.
