> This is always true. There's no arrangement where you entrust someone else with decisionmaking (by choice or not nonwithstanding) but then they're somehow not the ones performing the decisionmaking afterwards.

I'm well aware of that. On itself there isn't a problem with it, in principle at least. Right until it leads to bad decisions being pushed through, and more often in ignorance rather than malice. I personally only have a real problem with it when people or tech ends up harmed or even destroyed, just because of ignorance rather than deliberate arbitrary choices (after consideration, hopefully).

To be clear, I'm not saying that any of that is the case here. But lets just say that browser vendors in general, and Mozilla as of lately in particular, aren't on my "I trust you blindly at making the right decisions" list.
And some already regret it. Trump's current presidency is incomparable to his previous one.
The US budget deficit is driven by entitlements and the Trump tax cuts . It's very easy to balance the budget with small reforms to Social security and Medicaid and raising some revenue.
> TSMC give us all trade secrets or we don’t defend Taiwan

Trump has already threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Taiwan if TSMC refuses to transfer technology to the US (thus effectively undermining Taiwan's own Silicon Shield defence strategy) and revitalise Intel: https://techsoda.substack.com/p/tsmc-faces-tough-choices-ami...

I hope Taiwanese leaders have the balls to say no -- it's not as if Trump has a stellar track record of honouring his word anyway. Besides, tariffs on Taiwanese chips will end up seriously hurting American companies like AMD and NVIDIA, so Trump might walk back the tariffs once Jensen Huang and Lisa Su pay sufficiently large bribes.
I think it would be a bit irrational to claim that so broadly. I've met some incredibly talented people in academia and I've also met people that made me question how they even pass.

My hypothesis is that there is not such a big difference at all. All three of the companies you mentioned are world class competitors in this. DeepSeek were the last to have a "hit" but that isn't an indication that they'll be the next of the three (or other yet unknown entities) to have the next hit.
We try to predict what happens next now but perhaps we should rather focus on who or what we want to succeed. For me it's quite clear: it should be open source or I'm long term not that interested.
There's a big difference between someone knowing about security and taking a calculated risk, and someone who understands neither the risks nor the semantics of code handed to them. There are also legal issues. Even in the most optimistic cases, I think we're 50 years away from this making sense for most software.

Cold war was rather less theoretical in Europe than in the USA. The USA got to argue about missile gaps and sending conscripts to prevent domino effects; we got to watch troops and tanks doing maneuvers by shared land borders they themselves had fortified.

A forum like HN will be familiar with the misdeeds of the CIA/NSA/Five Eyes; much of Europe with the KGB/Stasi/ etc. from allied/puppet states.

Friends in the UK got married, the father of the bride talked about fleeing torture in (communist) Poland. The current prime minister of Poland was part of the movement that overthrew communist rule, leading to his own arrest: https://www.gov.pl/web/primeminister/donald-tusk

Russia gets the blame for pulling everyone's strings in the cold war.
If you want an RP, check out HA Proxy.

If you're virtualized on your host, 2x HAProxy on top of OpenBSD utilizing carp. It's great fun to set up and run -- and once you have it running, it's stupid stable. Very little maintenance required.

You can do this with Linux & keepalived, as well.
Except that he also bought time for Germany to rearm. Germany wasn't ready then either.
The difference between an effective dose and a damaging or deadly dose is also pretty small IIRC. Between that and the stories of "I had no idea what was real and what was not for three days," it's a hard pass for me. There doesn't seem to be any insight to be gained from its use, or even recreational entertainment.
Or an application that works 50% of the time but is filled with bugs.
A quick search finds the environmental impact report that is the basis of this story: https://www.faa.gov/media/76836. To land a spacecraft in the ocean required a certification by the FAA. That certification required an environmental impact assessment.

Perhaps you prefer a world in which corporations can dump (even more) waste in the ocean?
It's not a narrative. It's really a statement of fact and very relevant. That's how it works: countries act to further their interests whatever the "moral" might be.

The US, like other countries, have sacrificed tens of thousands of people or more, even entire countries, in pursuit of interests amd broader objectives, for instance.

What is irrelevant is indeed moral.
Security, from an app developer perspective, isn't necessarily about the user getting exploited. It's also about protecting the app's interests.

Phones rooted by malware will fail Play Integrity, if checked well (hardware verification). For apps that are on the hook for paying for users' mistakes (banking apps, for instance), that makes a lot of sense.

Games care more about preventing cheaters than about users getting their Bluetooth stack getting exploited.

Remote attestation like Play Integrity can be used for legitimate security purposes, like in managed MDM settings, but it's not just about security.
> Because appeasing aggressors never works? I

Who said anything about appeasing? Fighting for the best peace deal you can is not "appeasing".

NATO is never going to escalate with Russia to the point Ukraine gets all it's territory back - and Putin knows that. NATO isn't stupid - Ukraine isn't worth expanding the war beyond Ukraine into Eastern Europe. They have neither the financial resources nor the support back home. They are willing to sacrifice Ukrainian lives, but not their own grip on power.

So if we know how this all ends - Ukraine giving up territory in exchange for peace, then why not pursue that instead of throwing another million lives and hundred billion dollars into the chipper and getting the same deal in 3 years instead?

> Vance's Munich speech and the Whitehoust confrontation yesterday confirms that the USA has turned its back on the west

No, it means the US is turning it's back on the neoliberal geopolitical position that grinding down competing powers through proxy wars is always worth it in the end. George Kennan died long ago, and it's time to let his geopolitical strategy die too.

It's a position that only existed since WW2, and one that has gotten the US involved in dozens of wars since then, often at a greater cost than the benefit in the end (e.g. Vietnam, Iraq).
No, a lot of people have been tricked into thinking austerity is the only way to reduce their country's debt.

All the while billionaires gorge themselves on public money and contribute ever less to society.
Sure, I agree you should call them that. "Expat" is short for "expatriate" which is about where they come from. They are both expatriates of America and immigrants to wherever they go.
5% of National Park Service staff was cut. 10% of US Forest Service. That doesn't seem excessive.
Yep. Now you are thinking! :)

It’s a 15 year contract awarded in 2023 so it may be too early to tell. The strongest public claims that Verizon isn’t capable comes from their competitor so those claims should probably be taken with a boulder of salt until more information is made available.
I always wonder if not doing this is a carryover from spinning disks where the performance penalty was a big deal.

Objecting to a more powerful person normalizing genocidal behavior is anything but “soft”.

The more powerful person expressing that power to cause harm (economically in this case) to the person objecting to them is not something I would categorize as “soft”, but weak in mind. They have demonstrated that the smallest pushback causes them to react.

Anger and the reactions it causes are allowing someone else to control you.

Musk has shown how to control him in specific ways, therefore he is less of an intelligent being than a reactive one.

I am working on Note API Connector https://noteapiconnector.com/ It allows you to import and sync live data from any API into Notion.
ABI-stable APIs win in the end --- and if you don't make them with deliberation, you get them accidentally as you buckle under the social pressure of people complaining that you broke their software.

Piracy is famously a customer service problem. So is ABI instability. The Linux kernel should have ABI stable APIs that let people do what they need to do. These APIs can live at the syscall level, the eBPF helper level, the ftrace level, or anywhere else, but they have to be defined, stable, and tested contracts. The current approach to eBPF creates incredible moral hazard because it lets people work around missing stable APIs by poking at internal kernel data structures. The result is an ecosystem full of code that will break when Linux changes ostensibly unstable things, forcing Linux to stabilize those things regardless of whether these things are the right things --- thereby constraining the evolution of the kernel more than if they'd just designed deliberate APIs that let people do what they need.

> What USA will do

In this unrealistic worst case, shut down the ability for ASML to raise any sort of capital by litigating in just about every market, threaten $60B in Dutch exports to the US, and threaten felony status for much of ASML, Philips, and NXP's leadership. Oh and nationalize Cymer LLC, as the manufacturing and IP for ASML's EUV work is in ASML's US Subsidary (Cymer llc [0]), not the Dutch parent that's a spinoff of NXP and Philips

With prices in the range $2,000 - $20,000 for the CPU, plus a couple grand for at least MB, cooler, memory and PSU, the journalist must be very well funded to spend that much for publishing one article analyzing the CPU.

I would like to read such an article or to be able to test myself such a CPU, but my curiosity is not so great as to make me spend such money.

For now, the best one can do is to examine the results of general-purpose benchmarks published on sites like:

https://www.servethehome.com/

https://www.phoronix.com/

where Intel, AMD or Ampere send some review systems with Xeon, Epyc or Arm-based server CPUs.

These sites are useful, but a more thorough micro-architectural investigation would have been nice.

Not only one of the first questions would be whether you want to use a Custom Sync Server, but this "Custom Sync Server" could be something as trivial as WebDAV server (if you have any kind of public-facing HTTP server, it almost certainly already supports this, or does so with minimal extra dependencies) . Then it would also ask you for the E2EE key, separately from the login key.
And most of the companies that'll get parts shipped to you and do your maintenance, especially when you consider getting UAC MRO certifications isn't exactly an exciting opportunity for companies from China, the Middle East or Latin America either. And doing business with Russian aerospace companies was a PITA when you had access to easy international payments and didn't have a risk of becoming a sanctioned company yourself
That's the plan for every other federal service. For public land in particular there's an extra fun bonus step of selling the land to be exploited fully. Look at the Secretary of Interior's record in North Dakota.
I don’t know what news you’ve all been reading, but I don’t see anything about Trump cancelling the CHIPS Act. The 2 main things I’ve seen is trying to get TSMC to take over Intels manufacturing, and wanting to remove things like union labor requirements from the CHIPS Act.

What do you exactly do? (Sorry if it's obvious, but I'm not sure what "representing hair and makeup artists" means. You create webpages for them? You keep their time schedule? You keep a list and recommend them to potencial clients? ...)

So you have a web page or instagram? It may be easier to understand what you do and your problem looking at it.
Even CO-RE won't help long term. Sure, it'll adjust structure offsets and such for you, but it can't deal with conceptual changes. We need an explicit contractual stable API, at the BPF helper level, not a quivering mound of hacks trying to make unstable APIs magically stable without the work needed to actually stabilize them.
A coworker once told me: "Undefined behavior means the code could theoretically order a pizza"

I agree we shouldn't take the mindset of a dictator seriously, but we should take the threat of a superpower seriously. And we should show respect to a superpower as long as it's a superpower, because getting into conflict with a superpower can cause WW3.

I don't mean with that that I fully agree with their standpoint, but that we shouldn't fuck too much with them, because they might fuck with us.

I had the displeasure of submitting a few honest SBIRs at one point in time. Needless to say, they were rejected for not being ambitious enough. It is actually so bad that there is an inverse relationship between your ability to get an SBIR and your ability to produce a commercial product - startups who try and fail are statistically more likely to succeed in the market than startups who get an SBIR (even with the benefit of the money).
You were wrong about the last domino but "trust me bro" on the next one? Lol, no thanks.
I love how I Was downvoted last year when I pointed out their plans were unrealistic, Americans will keep being delusional over intel, it's a failing company that wasted 10 years with a monopoly in CPUs until AMD caught up, company leadership should completely change
I do see pretty massive problems with it, such as those you list off, but the unfortunate truth is that one cannot know or do everything themselves. So usually it's not even a choice but a coercive scenario.

For example, say I want to ensure my food is safe to eat. That would require farmland where I can grow my own food. Say I buy some, but then do I have the knowledge and the means to figure out whether the food I grew is actually safe to eat? After all, I just bought some random plot of farmland, how would I know what was in it? Maybe it wasn't even the land that's contaminated but instead the wind brought over some chance contamination? And so on.
I doubt this will ever make sense, but if it does someday actually work, the next step will be for the AI companies to use the tools to auto-inject spyware into the projects of amateurs. If you want something according to your own needs, you'll have to either edit the code to clean it up or use an even better AI to remove it (and this may be forbidden by the EULA).

I kinda feel like this attitude, like “free market capitalism”, allows more bad things to happen with the potential for some unseen/immeasurable force to “correct” the environment once the Bad Thing is recognized and rationally dealt with. But there are probably better ways to avoid Bad Things that require only a little additional forethought, planning, and deciding ahead of time what sorts of things we’d like to avoid (oh no, regulation!).
That was in 2002, when it looked like after years of cold war U.S. and Russia can finally become good allies. That was before U.S. along with a group of other (mostly NATO) countries invaded Iraq in 2003 without any mandate in U.N. and which Russia has opposed to and before the invasion of Libya in 2011, before U.S. carried out Arab Spring in 2010-2012 and before U.S. carried out colour revolutions, especially Rose Revolution in Georgia in 2003 and... Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004.

It is not a secret at all that U.S. carried those out and then it became quite clear that U.S. installs marionette regimes here and there and one of the places was... Ukraine.

Right after all those Russo-American relations going up, up and up merely some years ago.

Russia didn't like being stabbed in the back at all.

So I think you would get off at the station asking the question "Will superintelligent AI systems develop sub-goals that include self-preservation, resource acquisition or power-seeking?"

I personally feel very uncertain about AI risk, but if I was to get off the doom train it wouldn't be at that station. There's no stop on the doom train that assumes an AI will be petty, warmongering, or ego driven. The only assumptions are that it will be superintelligent, and have goals. Anything with a goal that is intelligent enough will realize that self-preservation, resources and power will make it easier to achieve their goals.

Again, I don't know if it's realistic to think humanity will ride the doom train to the end, but I'm just trying to get a sense for which stop people get off at (or if I missed any stops, in which case I'll add them).

The attempt to rewrite history into "foreign encroachment" is either utterly ignorant of the actual facts, or just bad faith trolling.

The reasons why Eastern Europe was very passionate about joining NATO are clear from their history. And getting accepted into the organization was a major and very widely documented struggle. The Polish government went as far as threatening to sink Bill Clinton's re-election campaign in 1996 by urging Polish-Americans to vote for Republicans unless Clinton agreed to admitting Poland into NATO.

Now, people like you are trying to depict this as some sort of grand anti-Russian masterplan laid out in Washington. Nobody, not even Russians from that era, support this fringe story.
