The interesting thing in this article isn’t that China is telling people to avoid the US for national security reasons. Many states, including the US have similar guidance to people who work in jobs sensitive to national security.

What’s interesting is that China is viewing AI tech as a technology vital to their security.
Doctors in the United States are paid more than doctors in Norway and Switzerland even though those countries are richer and our doctors aren't better.
All the time to Google translate various Japanese signs.
This is still indistinguishable from meaningless noise, since your opinion can’t ever outweigh anyone else’s opinions…
>China will have no trouble outlasting the US unless things change radically.

Um my entire point was about an issue that will definitely cause them to lose steam before the US. You provided no rebuttal to my point.

>Demographics are not the problem you think they are; industrial economies no longer rest on the shoulders of burly twentysomething coal miners shoveling sixteen tonnes of coal to get another day older and deeper in debt until blacklung disables them.

They rest on the backs of 20 somethings who are forced to take care of their elderly parents, while popping out 2-3 kids while maintaining impossible million dollar mortgages for a 1 bedroom condo while working 996 style hours. In that regard, I only see nothing but doom and gloom coming.

Your dismissal of this research shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how scientific analysis works.

The study analyzed two separate phenomena - changes in engagement for Musk's posts AND changes in engagement for Republican content - occurring simultaneously. When taken together, these patterns strongly suggest algorithmic changes, not just organic user behavior from the assassination attempt.

Saying "you can't do that for the reasons I mentioned" is just wrong. Studies absolutely can point toward likely explanations without 100% certainty - that's literally how science progresses. The researchers used appropriate cautious language because they understand scientific rigor, not because their analysis is "crap."

Your argument that "if circumstances don't allow for a proper study, you don't make it" would eliminate most scientific advancement. Should we have abandoned Alzheimer's research because perfect data wasn't available? Obviously not.

What's truly absurd here is your selective skepticism. You demand impossibly high standards of proof for findings you dislike while accepting "common sense" explanations that align with your preconceptions.

Before dismissing research as "garbage" that "causes division," maybe consider whether your reaction is based on methodological concerns or simply that the evidence contradicts your preferred narrative about Musk. Your eagerness to defend him while offering nothing but personal opinion suggests it's the latter.
>Now, I’m not entirely sure why this works so well, but I came up with a ridiculous solution by accident […]

>This means that the slowest computers hold back the fastest computers […]

It works so well because you’ve optimized the system’s design with respect to its bottleneck. Check out the theory of constraints :)
Many people who support Trump also think that people like me and my friends are child-abusing Satanists, that there are secret underground military bases containing millions of abducted children, that there's hidden "med-bed" technology that cures all disease that They have suppressed, that JFK Jr. is still alive, etc. The people who have promoted these ideas have been boosted by the President and his allies, invited to the White House, given positions of power in his administration, etc.

I don't know why the genuinely irrational, harmful things these people believe somehow means that I shouldn't be angry about immensely worthwhile and beneficial programs being shut down on the whim of an unelected billionaire.
Doesn't this vary for different cruising speed targets? I thought jets & ducted fans were more efficient above 400 kts or so, while (non ducted) propellers were more efficient below maybe 300 kts. But I'm mostly thinking in terms of turboprop vs. turbofan designs - not 100% sure if it applies the same way for electric types, although I assume it probably would.
How much data are they pulling from privately-owned weather monitoring systems in people's backyards?
Incomplete list of places USA bully, attacks or insults: Canada, EU, Ukraine, Mexico.

Complete list of countries USA supports, admires and treats nicely: Russia.

If Russia attack Norway, USA may try to make Norway a colony. Or use to situation to mock Norway, get their oil and then sell them to Russia once they have something.

But Trump loves Putin and is scared of him, so I can see him to make a "deal" and give him Norway with its oil in exchange of something purely ego stroking.
> my point was that Vance did not start the argument, as WSJ claimed

WSJ did not claim that he “started the argument.” They claimed he initiated the “nosedive.” These are not the same thing. From what I can tell, most people agree with that. At any rate, I don’t think I’m going to persuade you.

> Because Trump and Vance don't need anything from Zelensky.

What has that got to do with whether they overreacted? Do you, in your personal life, berate people from whom you don’t need anything who ask you for a favor? Would you teach your children to do it? Do you manage people this way? A good leader lowers the temperature in the room; he doesn’t escalate it.

> it would be better for his country if Zelensky simply kissed the ring and did the fake politician thing

That’s not America. Or at least it’s not how we have been for the past 200+ years. We have never asked a fellow democratic leader to humiliate themselves to get our support. And I don’t see why we should start now.
Maybe if they repeat "25 years later" enough times they won't need to check the math on 2026-1991
That was my hope, and I gave it a shot for a few months. I seem to be an outlier though!
Just did this. My spouse told me I was being far too optimistic about this new mis-Administration and the vector toward an Ayn-Randish kleptocracy. No more. I’m in now with people I would have considered conspiracy theorists two months ago.
If you normalize for cost, the difference isn't nearly as large as you might think, around 4-5x.

Not sure I follow, how does hashing mean you lose improved response times or caching?

Do you mean that hashing the file takes time? I guess that can be significant, but it's probably 2 or 3 cycles per byte, and average js size is like 10kb tops? 30khz doesn't look like much, it's a millionth of a second.
Lose 5B$/year
That goes both ways. Crime statistics can also be inflated by making things people already do illegal, eg the various facets of prohibiting different substances that people use.
And I though professor Snyder was dramatic about decapitation strike. Trump will for be remembered as Gorbachov of US
Firstly, since 1971 the Postal Service has operated independently, receiving no taxpayer money (other than about $100 million allocated by Congress to offset the cost of providing free mailing for blind people, overseas mailing, etc).

Until 2006, the Postal Service was entirely self sufficient, with no debt and no need for taxpayer funding.

However, in 2006 Congress passed a law requiring the Postal Service to prefund future retiree's health benefits (75 years in advance), which costs $5.6 billion per year. By 2012, the Postal Service hit its $15 billion debt limit, directly because of this.

The Postal Service itself does not lose money, and does not require funding, because it sells postage-- mailing is not free. The insane policy that Congress has foisted on it does lose taxpayer money, by requiring it to do something as far as I know no other organization does or is required to do.

If you want to fix the budget deficit at the Post Office, simply get that law repealed.
This is overwrought. I have a lot of content on the Internet and am not replicable by machine, sadly. I would gladly have an immortal MM/Acevedo of myself running around. I would be quite happy to be able to snapshot my current self to talk to him later and so on, but the best I can do is write as much of myself down as possible. Currently, with a few MCPs I can have Claude on the desktop search my written stuff and my CRM and all that and have some useful conversations but impersonating me seems out of reach.

I have no doubt it will happen one day and I'm happy to submit myself to it. If nothing else, if I die prematurely my children will be able to get some sense of the kind of person I am and the kind of people I want them to be.
Anyone not starting a nuclear weapons program right now is a fool.
Yeah I’m plenty critical of the NYT myself (esp. in their last month of coverage), but they do ostensibly cover any big news story, including the ones about Trump. Re:fascism, I specifically remember them covering the “I need generals like Hitler had” comment, to pick a memorable example.

While we’re at it, they even endorsed Harris as an institution, writing;

“This unequivocal, dispiriting truth — Donald Trump is not fit to be president — should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country and the stability of our democracy to deny him re-election,”
The author tried, but the clocks wouldn’t stay in sync. It’s in a sidenote expandable section.

There's an awful lot of "35% this, 27% the other" numbers in this article, and exactly 0 citations for any of them.
Draining the wetlands, straightening rivers is apt enough.

Provided people understand just why these are bad ideas that increase flood damage, savagely reduce biodiversity, remove buffers against storm surges, destroy filters that capture wastes and toxins.

In general these are stupid decisions.
I wonder if this could be used to create a hybrid fission-fusion plant based on inertial confinement. Use a small fission reactor to run a much larger fusion reactor. Sort of like a staged thermonuclear bomb, but controlled.

Inertial confinement fusion could generate power right now if we had amazingly efficient lasers.
Communities only stay "bedroom communities" for long if you force their hand in some way.
Is what they call “AI” actually dangerous or is just some common misconception about how powerful language models imply skynet taking over the world?
I already read article about how Trumps people are fuming at Zelensky as the cause of Vance and Trump hysterical meltdown

So, no, Trump does not understand that. He is protected from that.
He’s in a gang with MElon.

I've actually used it to generate business plans and strategies for some technical work I've done. I've not followed up but the options it created were all credible and would definitely lower the bar for someone less commercially oriented to get up and running with a business idea.

That was a weird hype train when that happened around that one. I tried it and gained like 40 pounds.
Make the video player accessible then.
Careful, don't make mistake of thinking that "they didn't get there by virtue" is the same as "they got there by evil."

Simple economic models show that it's possible to end up with levels of inequality that match reality, even when all the players are equally lucky and have no difference in character.

To twist the idiom: Hate some of the players if you want, but remember to mostly keep hating the game.
I've seen this as well. A relatively simple application becomes a mess of terraform configuration for CloudFront, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS and a half dozen other lesser services because someone had an obsession with "serverless." And performance is worse. And there's as much Terraform as there is actually application code.
With inflation and the terribly high cost of housing in places like the Bay Area, “seven figures is the new six figures” is an apt observation. I make six figures, yet I can’t afford to buy a home within a reasonable commute from my job, and even finding a decent rental near my job is challenging. Seven figures is indeed the new six figures.
There's nothing stopping hardware accelerated decode being in the same framebuffer as everything else, the only reason for this is DRM - you get just the same acceleration with VLC, but can still screenshot.

The XP era is when we depended on fixed-function hardware overlays to scale video and handle yuv translation, and yes in that case you'd just get a magenta or blue background instead of the video. That era sucked, and hardware got better since then.
ok, I'm sorry, I think that politics are consuming me, it's driving my thoughts more than it should.

I'll take some time off, breath some fresh air, and improve.

Again.. sorry.
This would be the only answer, if it wasn't for the all ICE's history, official threats against non US individuals and how reliable the current US gov is.

This year China's advice just sounds reasonable TBH.
The thing that gets me about audio is people obviously have different ears. Some are more sensitive to high frequencies, etc. It's even age-dependent. It's like salt preference on food.
You need people to arm and deploy 200k drones. With nukes you just press a button. They're also a lot cheaper if you skimp on maintenance and make up for it in quantity.
Signal also doesn't (on IOS at least), I just set it up for my parents and it asks for specific contacts.
Yeah but Terminator 2's most memorable effects were famously CGI
Back in the real world, people from China are able to do something we call "immigration."
I wonder if given the recent "moral" loss of US, we will see a post-WW2 Soviet vs USA style defection of scientists & engineers between USA and China?

When you read the reasoning of people that defected from UK/US to soviet with nuclear secrets it's kinda hard to grasp now, but back then I can definitely understand that a mix of "the soviets are not that bad" and "are we really that good?" could've made people switch, vise-versa.

I feel like that have for the past decades mostly been a one-way street (China to US) but given the recent trends, (chiense scientist leaving US)[1] I could kinda see how some people might start to debate that question internally.

Probably not. If it suppresses your hunger response, you will likely lose the ability to deal with hunger when you go off it.
Rental car companies ended up selling teslas for under $25K back when that was unusually low for an EV.

These days, a decent used EV costs less than that, so I imagine the government will have to dump whatever model they have 25K of for $20k or less. That’s probably still more than 25% msrp, but not by much.
Compositing is done by the OS though (WindowServer in case of mac). Ever since OSX stopped allowing direct framebuffer access I think the only way to read (e.g. for screenshots) windows of other processes' is by asking WindowServer to do it for you, so I'm guessing that's how this protection is implemented.

WindowServer ultimately still needs to get access to the framebuffer somehow though, so there must be some private API somewhere to bridge kernel and userspace part. I suspect if you could bypass SIP or just write a kext to access video memory directly then it'd be possible to defeat this protection.
Maybe it's not all about you and there are a lot of people that are not technically savvy for whatever reason and need to receive things by mail?
> The fundamental idea of the language is that you represent your ideas and constructs as [...] lists.

This is wrong, sorry.

In a classic style Lisp, you will indeed work with lists if you have ideas about extending the syntax (metaprogramming). If you're not metaprogramming, then you might use lists or might not.
In the UK, VAT is incorporated into the price. This does lead to some sort of an awareness issue.

Pretty much everyone does, of course, know that the VAT rate is 20%, but still you always get people complaining that we’re being ripped off when something which costs $1000 ends up being sold here at £950.
Ironically, I don't think Musk or Trump grasp how much of the military logistics and fundamental readiness rely on DoD civilians. The same ones they want to reduce by 8% over the next few months.
Good question!

When you inform the CA about the incident they are required to revoke the certificate. AFAICT they are also expected to file an incident report to Mozilla’s Bugzilla bug tracker (they have a section just for stuff like this).

The operations of Certificate Authorities are strictly regulated by policies such as the “Baseline Requirements” (Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly‐Trusted TLS Server Certificates), Mozilla’s Root Store Policy and the policies of the Common CA Database. If a CA fails to live up to these requirements, the major browsers will kick their root cert of their root stores. (This is not an empty threat.)

You can find some more info here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Responding_To_An_Incident

https://cabforum.org/working-groups/server/baseline-requirem... (section 4.9)

The bugzilla I mentioned is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=CA%20Progra... – AFAICT, a lot of the deviations are reported by CA staff themselves. So the whole system is actually quite open and self-regulating, not as corrupt and scammy as many seem to believe.

I have worked at a place with a bot like that. It's one of over a dozen bots in that repository and seems to have been created and maintained by 3 people over the years. I believe 18F peaked at 250 employees.

Some of the terms are genuinely offensive or unprofessional. I'm not sure about some of them, but I'd expect a government agency to show a higher level of sensitivity and professionalism about their language than a private start-up.

I also note that the bot "lectures" people as a private message.
So tell me, how do you start a business in the US?

If you have Transportation, Justice, Labor, Interior, and Agriculture departments, as well as the National Labor Relations Board, EEOC, EPA, SEC, FCC, FTC to answer to, how do you do it?

It was also funded by the KGB.
What do you mean? There are several special elections happening April 1. New Jersey and Virginia have governor elections this November. Mid-terms in every state next November. These elections, like all elections, are run by states, not the federal government. Which ones do you think are not going to happen?
Agriculture, the Saudis get five harvests of alfalfa a year by leasing unlimited water rights in Arizona for practically nothing. The Az Governor could call the leases and stop that, but they haven't for some reason. Most water in AZ is for Manufacturing and Farming, very little is used for people.
I am saying that, yeah. Because it’s true.
Pretending that the federal government of a nation of 340 million people should be that small is beyond naive.
I agree completely… Usually when I catch it doing this kind of hallucination, it's inventing an API or syntax that is far more clear and intuitive than the actual syntax.

My favourite piece of movie trivia: Terminator 2 had the biggest CGI budget of any movie to that date, but some of the scenes that most obviously needed CGI - where the T-1000 shape shifts into the body of an actor who is already in the same scene - were solved by casting actors who had identical twins.

Nvidia calls them cores to deliberately confuse people, and make it appear vastly more powerful than it really is. What they are in reality is SIMD lanes.

So the H100(which costs vastly more than a Zen5..), has 14592 32 bit SIMD lanes, not cores.

A Zen 5 has 16x4(64) 32 bit SIMD lanes per core, so scale that by core count to get your answer. A higher end desktop Zen5 will have 16 cores, so 64x16 = 1024. The Zen5 also clocks much higher than the GPU, so you can also scale it up by perhaps 1.5-2x

While this is obviously less than the H100, the Zen5 chip costs $550 and the H100 cost $40k.

There is more to it than this, GPUs also have transcendental functions, texture sampling, and 16 bit ops(which are lacking in CPUs). While CPUs are much more flexible, and have powerful byte & integer manipulation instructions, along with full speed 64 bit integer/double support.
Also video is viewed in motion, not as static frames. And end-users watching on low bitrates aren't going to freeze-frame and zoom in.
As an EU-based employer, I'm seeing a post-WW2 soviet vs usa style defection of engineers between USA and Europe.

It goes to the government. The government consumes something like 24% of the GDP.
The problem with the lawfare argument, is that people can claim 'lawfare' even when the investigation is fully warranted. The classified documents in the Trumps bathroom, for example. This wasn't lawfare, this was a guy breaking the law and being investigated for it.

In Elon's case, he is not a truthful person. He was recently caught lying and cheating about being good at video games of all things. Just for cred. Imagine what he's capable when the stakes were higher.

'Lawfare' is just a way for the out-of-power party to cry victim even when they fully and absolutely did the crime. It means that when they get back in power they not only get a free pass but also an excuse to crush anyone who had the gal to even try and hold them accountable.

Not me. I'm a white tech liberal expecting a big tax cut. Maybe I'll just sit this one out. The hippies have done too much damage to Democrats.
