That was me

a mechanism to make that obvious.

Say they prove that foreign labs are distilling their models, then what?

we never had free unlimited texts. Internet was cheaper than calling/texting

I always found this peculiar, you would think it would be the other way around. I wonder why that is?

This is a huge detail that further complicates the picture, ASML's lithography technology heavily benefitted from United States DOE research:

In 1997, ASML began studying a shift to using extreme ultraviolet. Two years later, it joined a consortium, which included Intel and two other U.S. chipmakers, in order to exploit fundamental research conducted by the US Department of Energy. Because the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) it operates under is funded by the US government, licensing must be approved by Congress.

There have been several spywares developed in Israel and that have been used by them and other governments against civilians, below are just a few examples. Why wouldn't you lump Israel in?

It’s technically true that the plan prices haven’t changed, it’s just the value you get from those plans has plummeted. It’s classic deceptive sales language.

Mexico’s government was also the first purchaser of NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware

Grupo Seguritech was founded in Mexico City in 1995 by father-son duo Shimon and Ariel Picker as a small company selling alarm systems for homes.

It's remarkable that even in a country where Jewish people make up no more than 0.05% of the population, they excel in this cybersecurity/surveillance arena. The talented ability of Jewish moms to always know the gossip of the community seems to pass down to their entrepreneurial kids!

It's just a form of sanctimonious virtue-signaling that's trendy right now.

This would be a great opportunity for the government to get involved

I like how you think

What in the world are “the dangerous insights”?

To clarify (since the headlines of many articles about this aren't clear about it), this states that it prohibits approval of new Models, so any models that already cleared FCC certification can still be sold in the US, even if they're made overseas.

This is for newly released models that still need to get FCC certification.

The only one I know of: https://www.islandrouter.com/

In conjunction with original software development, Island is designed and assembled in the USA to improve security and enable tighter quality control throughout the entire production process. The code for Island routers has only been loaded internally at Island HQ in the U.S; customer support is also managed directly in our U.S. Headquarters.

Big difference between

"barred from holding jobs"

versus

"make it known to the public that they've shown they're not trustworthy enough to be given large sums of investment money"

Iran's a sideshow compared to Tel Aviv's Hasbara spin factory.

What thunder? Mastodon has had nearly a decade to go mainstream and it's still mostly tech enthusiasts explaining to their friends what an 'instance' is.

ActivityPub is fine if you enjoy your identity being held hostage by whatever random server admin decides to keep the lights on. Want to move servers? Hope you're cool with losing your followers. Want real account portability? Too bad. Want scalable search and flexible moderation? Also too bad.

ATproto wasn't built to compete with Mastodon out of pettiness, it was built because ActivityPub fundamentally cannot accomplish the task that ATProto/Bluesky is aiming for: a decentralized social network that isn't a cumbersome pain in the ass to use.

He's the US Ambassador to Israel.

Where in their comment did they claim Jews secretly run the world?

The implication that the nation state of Israel has a lot of influence on US politicians is pretty clear and obvious at this point, and is not the same thing as “Jews run the world”.

If we replaced Israel with India, pointing out that India has immense influence on US politicians wouldn’t be the same as saying “Hindus run the world”. Nation states are not proxies for their ethnic groups like that.

ICF is more resilient to earthquakes than wood frame is, as far as I understand.

We are a non-profit project with two goals:

1. Preservation: Backing up all knowledge and culture of humanity.

2. Access: Making this knowledge and culture available to anyone in the world (including robots!).

Setting aside the LLM topic for a second, I think the most impactful way to preserve these 2 goals is to create torrent magnets/hashes for each individual book/file in their collection.

This way, any torrent search engine (whether public or self-hosted like BitMagnet) that continuously crawls the torrent DHT can locate these books and enable others to download and seed the books.

The current torrent setup for Anna's Archive is that of a series of bulk backups of many books with filenames that are just numbers, not the actual titles of the books.

It seems more like they're implying it's those at the top think that about other people.

cannot fathom why we would ever build houses from trees instead of reinforced concrete

Steel-reinforced ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) has become a much more common frame material for homes in the US, especially in the hurricane-prone southeast.

Well I imagine CIA was in on it too of course, having blackmail material on these powerful figures across the world is useful for both of those intelligence agencies.

Him being in jail awaiting trial, which risked him exposing the details of the operation if he felt it could help him get a lighter sentence.

If the choice for Mossad was either risk Epstein exposing that Israel was essentially running a state-sponsored underage sex trafficking ring, or kill him before he can do that, you know what they'd choose.

most successful and profitable product in the history of humanity.

The iPhone is a much stronger contender for that title. It has probably surpassed $1 Trillion in profit for Apple since 2007.

Tangles scrapes information from the open, deep, and dark webs and is the premier product of Cobwebs Technologies, a cybersecurity company founded in 2014 by three former members of special units in the Israeli military.

If I had a dime for every time a sketchy "cybersecurity"/surveillance software ended up being developed by an Israeli firm...

Maybe you could have a system where, in the extreme case, a fully automated company with just a few executives gets taxed on a fixed percentage of its revenue. For every human employee they hire, they can deduct 110% of that person’s total compensation (salary + benefits) from the revenue that’s subject to tax.

That way it’s beneficial in both directions: if they stay fully automated, they’re effectively helping to fund something like a UBI through higher taxes on their automation-driven profits. But they’re also strongly incentivized to hire humans anywhere it actually makes sense, because every real job they create directly reduces their tax burden.

You're thinking of Daniel Elk (Spotify co-founder and CEO) and Ludvig Strigeus, who ran uTorrent before building Spotify.

That's essentially what Matter + Thread is. The Matter smart home standard, which can run on the Thread wireless protocol, allows products to work without an internet connection for local controls.

Matter is pretty common on newer smart home products, while Thread is a bit newer so it's only supported on some products right now.

When it comes to state-sponsored cyber-spying like this, take your pick between USA, Israel, Russia, China.
