And this is the root cause you fail to understand - the idea of copyright contradicts the idea of information freedom. You should be able to make a copy for you own purposes such that when you go back, the information is still the same and not manipulated and you should be able to actually share this information given it's important. For example a news story about corruption that has been taken down.

Also why the hell you believe that the same copyright rules that apply to a movie that can take millions to make and keeps relevance for years should apply to a news article for example? It's madness.
> how to segment communities locally

So it's not about owning vs. renting property on the internet, it's about controlling the roads that connect the properties so you can keep the world out of your community.
Completely agreed, though I think there is a possible non-adversarial path forward. The destructive among us are not all from wealth, FWIW.
I'm just trying to address this idea:

> The FCC is functionally a bureaucracy that grants licenses to discrete chunks of very scarce communications

I'm pointing out the FCC has historically done a lot more than just issuing licenses for RF, and that communications by wire have been a part of their purview since it's founding.

I do agree their roles and rules about what to do with regulating those wires have changed over all those years.
It's like when an entire slate of candidates running on "elect me for a pure and uninformed outsider take!" get elected to the city council and suddenly you spend a year with council meetings turning into 101 lessons from the city staff on what the fuck the council is responsible for.
> having wealth is a social responsibility in itself

We even have a word for this, noblesse oblige. It used to refer to the aristocracy, but I don't see much difference between the aristocracy of old and the moneyed classes of today.
You're still renting your ASN and IP space from ARIN/RIPE/etc, and they'll be revoked if you stop paying yearly dues. For true independence, you need to establish a base in international waters and establish a new RIR in accordance with ICANN ICP-2. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/new-rirs-criteria-2012...
You see thousands of ads of every type every day and ignore them. Now you’re doing a test and consciously looking for ads related to pools. Of course you’re going to find something.

Thanks for your work. I understand why you tried to keep it simple. Getting ignored or rejected by a maintainer is one of the least fun things I've ever experienced. Takes real skill to get something merged in, and not just technical skill.
I'd go a step further and say that I find it an extremely scary trend to call people NPCs. It's extremely dehumanizing and dehumanization always comes before acts of extreme violence. How many gamers treat actual NPCs in video games only furthers this.
Yeah I find that anecdote incredibly revealing as to the way wealthy people move through political spaces. No offence to the author of the blog post, but he was the CTO of a company that sold video conferencing software—what on Earth would he know about public governance? Pick a random student with a BA in public policy & administration off the graduating class of 2024's honour roll, and I bet they'd do a better job at doing whatever "DOGE" is supposed to do than this guy would.
Good lord. I don't care if Silicon Valley was wrapped up in 2019. They need to make another episode which is nothing but a reenactment of this blog post.
I would love to see HN adopt a policy of replacing links to news pieces about court opinions that don't link them with links to better news pieces that do.
The reasoning you're using here doesn't make much sense, to me, in light of the statute. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 had as its primary purpose the deregulation of the RBOCs and the provision of local (last-mile) POTS service. To the Telecommunications Act, the Internet is firmly something you would build on top of a telecommunications service; the entire Internet is an information service. That doesn't make any sense to you today because you're ~30 years removed from the time of Prodigy, CompuServe, and AOL, but that's the context of the statute.

The statute, I'll remind you, doesn't exist to establish whether ISPs can prefer one streamer over another. "Streamers" are a concept that wasn't legible to the authors of the Telecommunications Act.

The reason this definition matters is that it's the hinge point on which the FCC claimed authority to regulate --- to make up its own laws, based on the opinions of its own executive appointees, with no Congressional consensus behind it --- ISPs. In the era of Chevron Deference, court precedent was that in the face of ambiguity, the courts were to trust the unelected administrative agencies in their interpretation of statutes. That was struck down, so courts now actually get to look at the context of the Telecommunications Act and see: no, this was not an act that had "net neutrality" in mind.

I was out at dinner and couldn't respond to this, but, and I'm sorry about this, my response to this last comment is that you're not actually responding to anything I said. You feel like the Telecommunications Act of 1996 should have, in spirit if not in black letters, established an authority for the FCC to enforce "net neutrality". Well, I was there in 1996, literally operating a large ISP, and I can tell you: no, it did not. What the Telecommunications Act did was give my ISP access to dial-up POPs all over the Chicagoland area with a single ISDN PRI. It was about deregulating phone service. It had practically nothing to do with the Internet.
Not only that he's the main character but that they aren't actual humans who have their own experience and life and that it might even be ok to run them over with your car as long as you hide in the bushes for a few minutes after or get your car a new paint job.
The unspoken and oft-forgotten part of the "immense wealth" agreement is that, unshackled from the need to work to survive in perpetuity, you are also free to give yourself and your time to causes who otherwise would never afford to pay for your skills. My plan - should I ever reach that level of unfathomable wealth, as statistically unlikely as it is even for my privileged upbringing - is to eventually divide my time between IT work for the local school system/town government and running a small, tech-focused community center (think LAN center + board game tables + maker lab) out of my own pocket; the former for the benefits more than the salary (healthcare is expensive), the latter to give the local youth a place to hang out that doesn't require continuous outflows of money or a credit card.

So my advice to anyone, really, is to always consider what you'd do with your life if money were no longer the chief concern of it, and to find more ways of incorporating that into your life until and unless such a time arises. Whatever you do, though, should be in the interest of uplifting others rather than yourself (you won Capitalism by reaching this point, after all). That provides a fulfillment every human ultimately needs in some form.
The mountains are loaded with metaphor, seem nearly insurmountable, filled with danger and excitement…

> Meta "sublicensed" my image to someone else, I wouldn't have much to say there.

but you agreed to this, when agreeing to the TOS.

> I post a picture on my site that is then used by a large publisher for ads, I would (at least in theory) have some recourse

which you didn't sign any contract, and therefore it is a violation of copyright.

But the new AI training methods are currently, at least imho, not a violation of copyright - not any more than a human eye viewing it (which you've implicitly given permission to do so, by putting it up on the internet). On the other hand, if you put it behind a gate (no matter how trivial), then you could've at least legally protected yourself.
I think you get more certainty from the court interpretation because it's final. The executive branch can't simply overrule it and say "well, we disagree, the FCC rules stand".
The speculation of a "reg + 10-bit offset" representation feels wrong to me.

That requires a whole bunch of extra 64-bit full-adders everywhere one of these pairs might be consumed (so realistically, on every single read port of the register file). 64-bit adders take quite a bit of latency, so you don't want extra adders on all your critical paths.

In the case where it appears to be holding a reg + offset pair, what I think has actually happened is that renamer (and/or uop fusion) has rewritten the uop to a 3-input add, with the offset as the third input.

> Also the problem affects SHL as well as SHLX, I didn't realize until just now.

Double down on that last bit: everything you learn and do adds to the equity that is you. That equity pays back in multitudes throughout your life, not just professionally but also socially and spiritually.
And my point is that they do not "manufactures/assembles about as much as any other western car company", as you claimed, as roughly 70% of the parts for their entire fleet are made in the US while other manufacturers are hovering at or below 30%.

We can keep going back and forth. It doesn't change the numbers.
> Internet service as something built on top of raw telecom circuits

My service agreement with my ISP explicitly says it is a circuit.

And also the argument isn't if it's an Internet service or a telecommunications service, it's if it's an information service or telecommunications service. Quit throwing your own common parlance terminology here and use the language in the law and the courts please!
Would allocating a 640-byte string initially really be the right tradeoff? It seems like it could result in a lot of memory overhead if many small strings are created that don’t need that space. But it does save a copy at least

As for the int-to-string function, using the division result to do a faster modulus (eg with the div function) and possibly a lookup table seem like they’d help (there must be some good open source libraries focused on this to look at).
"The point" for me would not be spreading my genes. It would be to spread my parenting and resources.

Elon Musk has done plenty worth judging already. Am I supposed to give every single venture of his the benefit of the doubt?
I'm not telling you that it would somehow be illegitimate for Congress to pass a law delegating to the FCC authority to ensure that ISPs provide FRAND access to different streaming platforms (or whatever) over their IP "dial tone". But Congress pretty clearly has not done so, and just because we might think it's a good idea doesn't mean the FCC can just make that authority up.
We're all players in a game called evolution. This means we're biologically designed to cope with adversity, not success. The real contest in life is between closely matched organisms, each having only a small chance to survive.

Being a creature that's 1% more or less appropriate to its environment (not too smart or dull, not too strong or weak) is the actual game. Everything else is random noise. This means becoming spectacularly successful makes you irrelevant -- a spectator.

This can lead to artificial contests, between organisms that have already won the primary contest. So, after saying, "Wait, what now?", people invent make-believe goals -- climb mountains, make even more money, learn to cook a perfect omelette -- hoping to restore a sense of purpose.

In this non-contest, the least successful burn out, maybe even die prematurely. The most successful invent an imaginary, artificial goal that turns into a real advance. Transistors. Lasers. Antibiotics. Things that weren't really necessary until they appeared and, by existing, became their own reason to exist.

So ... done climbing mountains? Choose an important, unsolved problem and work on it. The problem list is long and deserving:

Batteries.
Cancer.
Population.
Late-stage capitalism.

Not necessarily in that order.

Hi HN! I'm Samat, the co-founder from the video. Thank you for the critical feedback, great points.

0. Is this a scam?
No. We're very early (started <1 month ago) so our landing page is to validate our concept, gather initial feedback and start conversation on what we can build that would be most applicable. We'll add more details and benchmarks to the website.

1. Company logos.
You're right. We're using our work experience as a credibility signal because at this stage that is our main selling point. We'll replace logos with concrete results as we develop.

2. Team.
We're 2 software engineers and 1 AI researcher:
- I was an AI product engineer at Asana. https://linkedin.com/in/samatd
- Denis was a tech lead at a unicorn startup. https://x.com/karpenoid
- Our third co-founder works at Anthropic and was previously at OpenAI. Since he is still at Anthropic and planning to leave soon for the startup, I can share his details privately.

3. Claims and transparency.
Our "4.2x Sonnet-3.5 accuracy" is an initial estimate from a locally fine-tuned model. Actual results may vary - a small app might not see big improvements, but we believe larger, private enterprise projects could see significant gains. We plan to publish our fine-tuned model so others can verify the results.

4. Competition from LLM providers.
Fine-tuning requires complex data cleanup and setup. Enterprise projects have fragmented data, making automation challenging for big providers like OpenAI.

Appreciate the feedback! If you want to chat more 1-1, happy to discuss at hi@finecodex.com

ISPs are information services because in the context of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that's what the Internet was, an information service built on top of telecommunication services. If you passed a Telecommunications Act of 2025, it would be different, but that act has not in fact passed, and what the court is fixated on is what Congress actually authorized.
They're still people. Just because the company doesn't motivate them or they have a bad manager or are on a bad team or a million other reasons they don't feel empowered to "participate" (specious since clearly they're employed) doesn't mean you can act like they're soulless bots ffs.

This whole mindset has got to go. You and OP going around like this, it's gross for the world and it's a bad look on you.
The Internet Archive just got its ass handed to it in a court case about these issues so I feel pretty comfortable with the conclusion I drew upthread.
And, if not you, your friends and family. “I know a guy who had it happen to him” is almost as bad for confirmation bias as “it happened to me”.
> If the Telecommunications Act of 1996 sees Internet service as something built on top of raw telecom circuits --- which I think it kind of clearly does?

Does it? We have definitions for "information service" that clearly fit running a server, and "telecommunication service" defined in a way that clearly fits carrying data over wires, unmodified, and some potential gray area in between that might include looking up information to figure out how to correctly route other information.

You've repeatedly emphasized the "offering a capability" angle, and so does the court. On the subject of capabilities offered by ISPs, the court says:

> they offer a “feature[] permitting” consumers to stream videos stored on Netflix’s servers, [...] the “ability” to purchase gifts from information stored on Amazon’s servers, [...] the “capacity” to view posts stored on Facebook’s servers, [...] and the “power” to conduct a search using Google’s servers

But the court pretends that this piece of capability (feature/ability/capacity/power) being offered by ISPs (as opposed to Netflix, Amazon, et. al. who actually run the servers) is not exactly the telecommunications service the FCC seeks to regulate as a telecommunications service. The court appears to believe that merely being able to use the word "capability" to describe ISPs (while implicitly lumping together functions performed by ISPs with those performed by Netflix, et. al.) is sufficient to make ISPs not telecommunications services.
Whatever made him use pool fencing as his random example is probably also why the ad showed up. Maybe it's the season for that stuff, he saw other ads earlier, or other friends talked about it. He may not consciously remember that, but it could make him more likely to think of it again later. In other words he talked about it because of the ads, not the other way around.
