That is quite possibly the worst conclusion you could take out of the Trump investigations.
I checked out your tutorial, its very cool! Do you think the 512MB harddisk makes your site more robust for when there are many queries? My site was crashed last night because of the hackernews hug of death and I may have to upgrade.
In 2022:

1,105 deaths related to bicycles vs 357 airplane related deaths. Depending on the metric you choose you can argue that either one is more deadly.

So yes, people here would do that.
That standalone Lenovo keyboard with trackpoint is great for Linux SBCs and KVMs.
This is the fundamental problem with American democracy and democracies all over the world.

It only works if the voters are well informed, educated, and generally competent. Otherwise it’s just a manipulation game where someone can lie and lie and lie and be elected president. And at that late stage phase of democracy, who gets to manipulate these people better is who holds power.
If TikTok was only targeted at voters then I think there would be less of a concern. My issue is more with what it shows to children. Science and law recognize that children aren't yet fully individual agents and are more susceptible to propaganda than most adults. Thus legislators and courts have been more willing to restrict commercial speech targeting children.
I think you underestimate the people here when you throw around things like "it costs as much as an expensive Ferrari". a lot of us work with systems like these, so we understand why they cost so much and what they can do. On Reddit this works, here, I feel this is pretty condescending.

"Intentionally limiting" is just koolaid. It's ok to drink it, it's your business, but it's koolaid. You think if AWS wanted to deploy a couple hundred thousand of these systems, AMD would be sad? I bet Lisa would be happy.

I tried renting a system, and putting in a credit card is not enough. That's a red flag for me. I don't want to email, chat with sales, etc, just put in a card number. This works for even GH200 systems over at lambda.

As for number of SKUs, for Blackwell there are a lot, if you believe Jensen, and why wouldn't you? He stated at CES that almost every DC they go into is a bit bespoke with modifications.

AMD seems unable to execute on this, which is reflected in its share price.
Suppose I wake up and discover that all congresspeople are insider trading. What do I do next?
> If money had such a large influences then why did a Presidential candidate who spent about half the other candidate win?

Because there was more enthusiasm for the politics and/or they spent it better? But ask yourself if someone with even more support for policy but $0 could have won. And if not, why.

> Any human interaction can result in people "owning favors".

Economic favors we usually call "corruption".

When I look around the planet I find few places (among western liberal democracies) that have the same sickness with money in politics.

If you look at "democratic health" as e.g. "how many in a parliament were born to (very) rich parents", it feels like there is room for improvement.
If you think courts follow your personal opinion and technical definition, you're silly. The reality is we don't yet know how the courts will decide.
I haven't worked on these systems for a long time. As I mentioned to another user, during testing, we'd pull out server blades to see if this mechanism works. The blades would be connected to the same storage array. Even this VMware website says "vSphere vMotion enables zero-downtime, live migration of workloads from one server to another so your users can continue to access the systems they need to stay productive." https://www.vmware.com/products/cloud-infrastructure/vsphere...
Can you see profiles without logging in again?

Something that really pissed me off is how much of a "support channel" it became for things like my internet provider. If the internet went down their twitter was often the only place you could get info.
I wish they would build features to defend against those near-spam type comments where someone is lazy and appends their clearly unrelated issue onto an existing one that maybe shares a few keywords but nothing substantive.

It's not quite spam: there's often a real person behind it with a real issue but they need a (metaphorical) slap before they muddy the waters and disturb countless people already in the conversation.
I agree with everything you're saying, but I also can't fully square up that the equivalent American apps aren't allowed in China. This is about freedom of speech on app built by a country that has no freedom of speech. I realize this point is orthogonal, but is still an important element of the decision.
GasBuddy, at least, said that they could (read: would) sell the location data that they collected after opt-in. It was part of the agreement.

I can't imagine a world where it would be illegal for two parties to agree to sell the location data that one of them generates.
>The content wasn’t at issue

You sure about that one? (https://www.axios.com/local/salt-lake-city/2024/05/06/senato...)

Obviously the transfer of ownership was always about the content, and implicitly the fact that if a Chinese company owns it, the US has no control over it. Opinion making in the US is always implicitly enforced, not explicitly.

There's a great bit of an old interview with Noam Chomsky talking to an American reporter in which the reporter asks Chomsky: "You think I'm lying to you, pushing a US agenda?" and he responds: "No I think you're perfectly honest, but if you held any other beliefs than you do you wouldn't be sitting in that chair talking to me"

this is the platform version of that concept.
I strongly dislike vertical video and find channel-flipping physically uncomfortable, and my life would probably be a little bit better if I didn't hear that around me all the time, but I will staunchly defend what I believe to be a violation of the first amendment.

I'm not sure why people seem to have more narrowly defined their idea of freedom of speech to be "the freedom to shout futilely into the void," when it's a two-way street. The government telling booksellers they can't sell a book to people isn't just a violation of the author's rights, but the right of other people to seek and acquire that book. (Hence the clauses in the amendment about anssociation and abridgment of press.)

The whole situation is very Fahrenheit 451. Which is kind of ironic, since Bradbury would have probably hated TikTok and assumed it would be the television-flavored precipice leading to books being destroyed.

Captain Beatty would be proud of all of the would-be firemen itching to torch everything they don't like, oblivious to the simple corollary that someone else doesn't like what they like.
It seems like an oversight to me that all the discussion about political impact leading up to this has focused on consumers. Statements like "Gen Z likes TikTok, so banning it risks alienating them", "Gen Z will forgot about TikTok and move on to the next thing in due time", etc.

I think this overlooks one key detail. The focal points of the new online world -- "influencers" -- rely on TikTok for the lion's share of their income. Taking away a fun toy might not radicalize someone but taking away their livelihood might.

And even if these users are a tiny fraction of a percent, they wield outsized influence (obviously). They are the new media. Risking losing these people, many of whom have been largely apolitical, seems like a huge tactical error in retrospect, and one that Trump would predictably take advantage of if given the chance.
I was just reading about these whacky German's yesterday, after investigating a particularly undescriptive (and still available 20 years after it's last update) PKG in pacman. It was the tool/framework/concept that these guys used in the mid to late 90s to fuzz those 2k+ bugs out of Netscape Navigator like they mention in the article.
Rather ingenious that it's fuzzing technique allowed them to not only isolate bugs without really knowing what behavior triggered it, but it would automatically narrow it down to the specific line of code at fault. I'm not really doing it justice, even less so because I can't remember the name of that tool/framework/technique.... Definitely made me rethink my understanding of how under lying systems architecture and code actually interact, and what a "bug" truly is.
So anyway, tl;dr, a coincidence happened to me.
Why stop at two? X seems to just be crazy person x says crazy thing y, so no problem adding that to my dns blacklist, fb and insta are as you say, just as obvious as tiktok. SEO results are dominated by AI vomit blogs, nothing to see there so searech engines are useless. LLMs seem to be mostly ok for finding things right now, I'm sure they will figure out how to mess that up soon enough though. YouTube is really useful for figuring out how to fix my <insert thing broken in my house>. But other than that is just the prototype the other stuff was based on. For news I look at news sources that cost money, wsj, economist etc. because then there is at least a chance that I myself am not the product. For finding music I ask local musicians who they like and follow those referrals a few deep. For seeing funny pet antics I look at my pets. To learn more about tech I come here and follow links.
To close this loose end in the HN thread:

The above guess turns out to be false. You can link a program in Cygwin that has WinMain.

If you don't include <windows.h>, you can give it whatever argument list you like, such as (void), and it will work. But in 32 bit Cygwin (which I still support), it will complain about _WinMain@16 missing (as a warning only).

If you give it the correct signature declared in <winbase.h> then it links on 32 or 64 bit Cygwin just fine. without warnings.

In this WinMain, you can use the wide-string functions for obtaining the command line and parsing to arguments.

I am going with this fix for TXR.
What is your opinion of ROS? I can’t find the previous thread you mention.
Narcissists are so consumed with projecting an image or facade, they can’t and don’t want or care about anything else. Real money is certainly a good way of looking rich and powerful- but not always the only way. Faking wealth comes with a lot more stress with the terrifying risk of being found out- but it is clear Trump has still used that strategy a lot, and gone to great lengths to hide the fact that his real wealth (although significant) is less than it appears.

Appearing wealthy is especially attractive with narcissism since it is the most banal, obvious, and universally understood signal of success and greatness- but the money itself isn't the goal, and having wealth in secret - as may be necessary if it is under the table - without adding to the appearance of being wealthy would be uninteresting.

So, you've angered our digital overlords. (2021)
You are correct. Our entire government looks like a clown show over this. National security issues that we couldn’t see banned it and now it’s still here. I better see some members of the legislature fight this misappropriation of power that was upheld by the Supreme Court. If a president can come in and hand wave away a law just passed and implemented(by a huge majority mind you), then the rule of law is gone. I hope that Cook and Pichai stand firm and not let these apps back into the store until the government fixes this shit show through the proper channels. Those who flip flop their votes should have their reasons spread across traditional and online media. If our entire government will flip flop on an issue so quickly after the Supreme Court suppressed the 1A a little further, I feel the corpo state has taken us another step towards the cyberpunk dystopia that I prefer to cosplay in my games not reality.
How could it ever be considered a protocol?

It's a platform - a marketplace for buying opinion.
Great article—thanks for sharing! I did something similar nine years ago with a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. It stayed online for nearly a decade until it went offline at the end of 2024, following Google's decision to sunset my OnHub router.

Initially, I used it as a CUPS server to turn a non-networked Brother printer (HL-2240) into a wireless printer after Google discontinued Google Cloud Print.

The printing project was a lot of fun and inspired me to dive into another challenge: self-hosting. Along the way, I learned a great deal about Apache, SSL certificates, security, and just how fragile SD cards can be!

The print server still works well, though I’ve since downsized to a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
I had to scroll past too many "free speech" takes to finally get to this well-thought analysis of the saga.

It has nothing to do with free speech. The US was always going to wind up owning TikTok and influencing speech on the platform. The key issue was price, which is affected by leverage. The strict top-down, centralized control ideals behind CCP/ByteDance/TikTok (they're all the same) were once again outdone by the aforementioned "powers that be".
It only holds true if you ignore the substance of the right, the message holds true even if no one can hear you in that other forum!
interesting how the political tables have turned - Open source apps like lemmy were supported by the pro-trump camp back then.
Sure, you won't get exact predictions on which genetic codes are realized. Similar to how statistical physics doesn't predict microstates, but the macro picture is understood. Even that might be too ambitious for complicated systems, but you can still have sensible predictions from evolution theory which looks at a landscape and says that there will be animals with tall necks and predators with very fast speeds even if you didn't know beforehand about giraffes and cheetahs.

In the fractal analogy, the compressed theory does not predict that exactly this point does/does-not lie on the fractal, but predicting whether a small disc around the point intersects the fractal.
Philosophy of Language (2018)
Unfortunately so. It didn't use to be that way - the ACLU used to be so principled that they would defend literal Nazis' rights. But they've fallen a long way since then.
This misunderstands the topic, it literally has nothing to do with information access.

The Chinese government invested a lot for decades in R&D around population-scale behavioral manipulation, including running a lot of experiments on their own population. It was an impressive research effort; other countries invest in this too but the Chinese commitment to mastery of it was next level. Not an issue.

These capabilities and techniques can make populations wired into it dance like predictable puppets in aggregate but they don’t work that effectively over generic undifferentiated communication channels because humans are too chaotic. It requires tight real-time feedback, control, and instrumentation of the information channels with sufficient critical mass population-wise to matter. Those kinds of tight feedback and control loops under direct control of government systems for constructive manipulation aren’t really a thing at most social media companies. You can spam propaganda but that is qualitatively inferior.

Divestiture of TikTok removes the access and control the Chinese government needs to effect outcomes with TikTok beyond typical propaganda and influence operations.

Most countries desire this capability but the technical implementation and requirement of sufficiently tight control of the channel has been a formidable barrier. China outright banned any vehicle that had the potential to allow foreign governments to do the same in their own country.

All of this has been known and discussed in national security settings for decades. The difficulty of implementation in the real world made it mostly a hypothetical risk at any non-trivial scale until TikTok.

The most insidious aspect is that sophisticated operational analytics has made it such that the manipulation may seem completely unrelated to the desired population-scale effect, it is not propaganda in a conventional sense. Done well, the individual never perceives it but the aggregate effect reliably emerges. The extent to which humans can be analytically manipulated in very indirect ways at scale is both fascinating and scary.

(Many years ago I used to work on problems related to population-scale operational behavioral analysis. China was on the cutting edge of this research even back then. None of the experimental theory is new, but apparently the tech finally caught up.)
Interestingly with chat groups that people can sign up, IMs like Telegram fill that one-to-many short-form niche
"Proof of <x>hood" is explicitly a non-goal for FIDO authenticators, and implementors go to great lengths to make it impossible (primarily for privacy reasons); that's why they support anonymous attestation only, except in an enterprise context.

That's the thing about reusing existing services and protocols for "proof of x": Quite often, such proofs being possible are often adjacent to or explicitly an anti-goal.

Apple does indeed offer an API that allows uniquely identifying a given device in a privacy-preserving way, though: There's an API that allows apps to store two bits of information about a given device, such as "this device was involved in fraudulent activity on our platform" or "this device has already redeemed a free trial at one point". Not sure if Google has an equivalent.
It is impossible to deny that DJT appears to be far younger than he really is, and at the very least, his energy and character are much more striking as youthful than any of the Democrat leadership (Biden, Pelosi, the other geriatrics). There's a reason we have dozens of quotable moments from Trump and like three max from Biden.
H200has more memory and B200 just takes it even more home with cluster wide NVLink.

AMD has zero response to it.

AWS has this on their new platform as well.
He for sure pitched this, but his team does not have the skills to create this.

Great analysis! This comment should be the top post
Github, and others, have strategies to mitigate culpability. One way, as you note, is to hand off such responsibility to the consumer. Another is to suppress the training set from passing through too close to verbatim.

To be crystal, I am sympathetic with GPL and copyleft movements. I do think we've entered a time where it will be hard for license holders to enforce their rights. The laundering will only get more effective. And, per my original comment, competitive pressure will incentivize models to sail the most piratey tack.
Hardly. A delay on the ban isn't tantamount to undoing the Supreme Court's decision.

It's good to be precise with terminology and facts, especially in legal matters.
There is also a second lie of omission in not mentioning the Arab/trans-Saharan slave trade. Which is doubly strange because they explicitly studied slave-trade-borne migration. There is nothing about Strontium isotopes that would discriminate based on who was doing the slave trading - the researchers had to actively limit their scope to only the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Yeah I hate that kind of "Well, everyone uses it", whether it's Twitter or WhatsApp or anything. Even POTS and email are pretty shit in their own way
When you consider the contexts, you can also realize they are two different things that should be handled separately and in different ways.
Flask is better for most use cases forsure, however, CherryPy (2002) was around a LONG time before Flask (2010) so that's not entirely accurate....

The main difference between these exisiting frameworks is the routing. MicroPie using automatic routing based on methods. This means you don't have to use a route decorator or similar. This idea was from circuits.web (originally released in between CherryPy and Flask).
> The advent of nuclear weapons is one reason.

If you want a bonechilling, fascinating look at the evolution of control of nukes in the USA from the 1950s to the 1980s, check out "Command And Control" by Eric Schlosser: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/303337/command-and-...

There was a fierce political battle to keep civilian control of nukes that I knew nothing about until I read this book.
For anyone who actually has the app this claim comes of like someone going “The night sky is yellow, trust me, don’t look up!”

That is to say it’s so obviously false if you want to see for yourself just download the app.
Prior to the industrial revolution most people did not live in stone palaces, and I doubt Pompeii was any exception. The population of Pompeii was 10k-20k people and they were probably supported by one or two orders of magnitude more subsistence farmers living in homes that mostly don't exist today.

they aren't all corrupt. and for those that are insider trading, few are beating the market.
It's not really a revolution, moreso a slow downfall into mediocrity, irrationalism and hatred, wrapped in stars and stripes.
To respond to a comment which has now been deleted:

I don't care about the First Amendment specifically. The US constitution is not magical divinely inspired scripture. I care about the underlying principles of freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and freedom of association, regardless of how well or poorly those are reflected by a specific written law.
Yes, that's just another problem with using ICAO biometric travel documents for something they have decidedly never been designed for: They don't have any PIN code protection, unlike some national digital ID schemes based on similar technology.
The less people get sucked into the toxic Reddit bubble, the better.
A lot of people have some Meta shares. It's a widely owned stock.

Reminds me of the ultimatum I gave my dog last week: I told him that if he didn't stop pooping on the floor, I would punish him by pooping on the floor myself.
If your router chose your IGMP groups for you.
He did and replaced the original executive order from Trump with his own and signed the PAFACA into law last year which effectively supports the TikTok ban.

Biden didn't stop it because he also supported the ban as well, which is even worse.

So TikTok would have been totally banned if either Biden or Harris won the election.
Had a very similar conversation with a plumber last winter. Pipes exploded because of the cold and flooded the basement. Plumber came over to fix the issue and we talked about the tools while working.

Paraphrased statement was something like "The company that makes these tools could make a high quality product that was rust, corrosion, and abrasion resistant. Except they don't. They make me a cheap wrench, that's planned for obsolescence, and rusts after a few months on the job. The company I work for could buy me a high quality set of tools. Except they don't. They buy me whatever's cheap and don't especially care that they have to buy it again in a year. And then they expect me to go to your house and care."
I generally agree given where we are right now but i would still argue that with the right Dem candidate and momentum there can be a chance to codify some bold leftist policies that truly improve people’s material conditions like more labor protections, cheaper healthcare/child care etc. These are popular policies across party lines. No one focused on them during this election cycle. In a way people voted for Trump because he kept repeating that Dems made you miserable and i will punish them. And Dems were offering to “save democracy” while leaning further right (see immigration bill). Unfortunately Trump is not helping solve any of those issues. And we are back to square one.
