I'm a user of the original Digg (and many of its iterations, including plastic.com).

This whole approach seems tone deaf:

> A.I. will also play a larger part in making Digg more accessible to users, Mr. Rose said. For instance, he said, a community of science-fiction enthusiasts could have their discussions translated into Klingon, the language used by the “Star Trek” alien race of the same name. A.I. tools can also help reduce spam, misinformation and harassment, he said."

Like nearly everything these days, this sounds like they raised money based almost solely on the premise that "AI will fix everything." They don't seem to understand that humans doing things is what makes all of this interesting to humans. I remember a BBS door that translated english to klingon. It was cool then because someone built it, but the fun was always doing it ourselves.

And is there any precedent for AI moderation at scale? It's another example of a LLM wrapper with no moat.

Finally, the attention to moderators seems like a swing at Reddit. But are there people dumb enough to fall for that trick again (don't answer that lol)?

At some point we need to realize that these VC driven "ideas" are all just content honeypots for AI training and do our own thing.

When I was trading both numbers were important indicators. And ADP is definitely a reliable source.

For the foreseeable future ADP will be very important because it isolates on private jobs which will help to compare to the federal government firings and the fallout from that.

Is there a single Apple SoC where they’ve provided removable ram? Not that I can recall.
Governments, which, in representative democracies are led by elected officials still have power over billionaires. If the US government wants Peter Thiel assets, including his life, it can just take them, and if Peter Thiel is unhappy, the US government has an army, Peter Thiel doesn't.

It doesn't happen because the elected government doesn't want to. In the USSR, it would have happened, but such politics didn't work well in the end. The current system that allows billionaires is not perfect, but unless shown otherwise, it is the least bad.
512GB unified memory is absolutely wild for AI stuff! Compared to how many NVIDIA GPUs you would need, the pricing looks almost reasonable.
I used Publisher to edit the local scouting magazine about 15/20 years ago. I inherited that from the previous guy. It's one of the few Microsoft products that I actually enjoyed using: I felt it worked pretty well.

Eventually I migrated to Scribus, because I could use that from my FreeBSD desktop. I'm cool like that.

> Microsoft 365 subscribers will no longer be able to open or edit Publisher files in Publisher

Ugh ... Local desktop software mostly just keeps working, even old versions (we used a pretty old Publisher version, as we had a license for that). I know there's a year and a half of lead-time, but lots of smaller publications that are already on Publisher and work fine now need to migrate. Great.

And Word and PowerPoint have a completely different workflow; IMHO it's not really a replacement. It's like deprecating Vim and telling everyone Emacs is the replacement. Like, no: yes, it can do everything Vim can, but it's completely different (even with the "Vim mode" plugin things).
exactly this.

maybe China or NK or a billionaire who wants to use it to fund Mars adventures, etc.
If you're still on the fence as to whether or not Trump is a Russian agent, ask yourself these hypotheticals:

* is it possible, on principle, for a POTUS to be a Russian agent?

* if yes to above, what actions would such a POTUS take?

* how do Trump's actions differ?
No, it's a useful framing.

I might have time for reading an interesting take on economics. I can learn from that, even if I don't agree with the overall position. (That was one of the beauties of HN 10 years ago - you learned from people you disagreed with. You could even wind up upvoting posts you disagreed with, because they had an interesting point that made you think.)

If something is a collection of far-right or far-left talking points, I don't have time for it. Either way, it's too little reality and too much zealotry, propaganda, and shilling. I don't have time or patience to wade through it and dissect all the problems and issues and just general falseness of it all.

Now, that framing can be used as a general pejorative ("I don't like that"), or even as an attack from the other side (far-left labels normalcy as far-right, far right definitely labels normalcy as far-left). But, honestly given, it's useful to know something is far-right or far-left, just to avoid wasting my time and sanity.
Call me a unit fundamentalist but calling 512Gb "over half a terabyte memory" irks me to no end.

So answer the question- why indeed did the US incumbents/Europe/Russia/China all fail to do what SpaceX did do?
Soldered?

Or are you just grinding a tired, 20-year-old axe.
I've seen this article circulating other sites, and it's kind of crazy to compare that headline and the content to the reality of what's happening here. In fact, reading the article now, I see it's continuously been edited to add quotes pulled from Reddit, so I have to assume the goal here was largely just rage/engagement bait.

The reality is that it's an app that offer's some on device models to detect nsfw content. Apps can choose to use those models instead of having to implement it themselves and I think that's kind of it. There's no scanning, there's no uploading, the article is even pulling quotes from a random forum that claims it's listening to your microphone and reading your contacts. The gap between what's written and reality is really ridiculous.

There's a discussion to be had around Google's ability to update software on our phones without our control, absolutely. But that's not what this article is doing, and wont lead the majority to that topic. This article is like reading a conspiracy website, it's a flashy headline with a kernel of truth, but just leads to dangerous behavior, like all the people installing stub apks from GitHub to keep this from installing.
Yeah, it's kinda disheartening to be honest.

That being said, the writing was on the wall in 2016, the first time Trump ran, HN (and the anglosphere internet in general) took a sharp dive down in quality, and Covid made it all worse.

I just try to remember that the printing press caused a lot of wars, but over the longer term it lead to a better world.

Yeah, the plug-only repair can only be done with a hardware store plug meant for that purpose, but they all look pretty chunky and ugly.

I think it’s better to harvest a whole new cord with moulded plug from some other dead appliance. Just make sure it’s a 15A one from a microwave or air conditioner or something— not just a lamp cord.
I suspect the usable number is much lower and would be just those satellites mostly opposite the Earth but with some signal reaching the moon? I recall the beam width of GPS antennas being like 30 deg (?), so almost all of the signal is directed at Earth.
Interesting that they’re releasing M3 Ultra after the M4 Macs have already shipped.

I wonder if the plan is to only release Ultras for odd number generations.
Is there even an existing replaceable memory standard that would meet the current needs of Apple's "Unified Memory" architecture? I'm not an expert but I'd suspect probably not. The bus probably looks a lot more like VRAM on GPUs, and I've never seen a GPU with replaceable RAM.
Can confirm, once had a DEF spill inside a Golf TDI, took 48 hours before the car smelled -exactly- like a truck stop bathroom.
Even when etag's have nothing to do with the filesystem they can still be a security vector. Some API's use etag's to identify what has changed since the last time you called a particular API. This means the ETAG values are probably stored in a database, which means the API server needs to protect against SQL injection in the request headers.
SpaceX and, for a time, Tesla. PayPal was already a success when he conned his way in. What other successes has he had?
Twitter imploded when he took over, Boring company was never real, FSD at Tesla will never be real. And SpaceX is succeeding because they have a team dedicated to keeping him away from decision making.

What he's had is an army of internet bots pumping up his supposed credentials (visible even in the voting patterns here on YN)
Not to hold water for billionaires, but do you think that the U.S. government has the expertise to compete effectively with industry?

A decade ago, palantir was competing to win a contract for a system to compete directly with DCGS-A

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Common_Ground_Sy...

Read through this and it certainly paints a picture of our government spending a lot of money on a legacy tool that was less efficient. The army was trying to convert a system from 1991 to be “as easy to use as an iPad”. And the biggest complaint about palantir as a competitor is that is was “not sufficiently funded” to support a broader role.

Take a step back and I just don’t see how the Army can be expected to bring the UX of an iPad to the battlefield. That would be like asking Apple to send their SWEs to the trenches.
If Donald keeps at it with World Economic War I, this is only going to get worse.
People who know more than me: they’re talking a lot about RAM and not much about GPU.

Do you expect this will be able to handle AI workloads well?

All I’ve heard for the past two years is how important a beefy GPU is. Curious if that holds true here too.
Well, least bad if your choices are what the U.S. has now and the U.S.S.R.

Some of us wouldn't mind at least going back to before (so called) Citizens United.
It's over half a _tera_byte; exactly half of _tebi_byte if you wanna be a fundamentalist.

On the same note, isn't phone numbers being more sensitive information than email nowadays, hence you might not want to share it.

Digg is the only daily email I actually get with some sort of news or missed memes and I enjoy it. People make fun of me for still using Digg, but it's just short enough to keep me up on what's the latest and 4 of the biggest news points. I never really hit the site. Curious to see how it improves or changes!
For AI workflows that's quite a lot cheaper than the alternative in GPUs.

Wouldn't operating system take care of that?
most of the comparisons were with M1 and M2 chips, not M4.

Is anyone other than a vanishingly small number of hard core hobbiests going to upgrade from an M4 to an M4 Ultra?

Now make a data center version.
> If you opt out of the system, for the most part the system is not interested in you.

Opting out of the system, in this case, by living in a forest in Singapore, is not an option for most people.

People who are engaged in the system (by e.g. buying things, having jobs, raising a family) are touched by government policy every day.
Most Americans I’ve interacted with think money is a reflection of your intelligence, so unfortunately as long as this guy has a net worth of billions he will be powerful.
Easy, you suspend the constitution.

He’s in year 6 of his 5 year term.

American journalist Gonzalo Lira killed while imprisoned by Zelensky. He made the mistake of being critical of Zelensky.

Declared martial law Feb 2022 and has banned elections since then, suspending Ukraine's constitution.

Starting in 2022, he's banned 12 political parties so far and used his "Department of Justice" to seize many of their assets.

He's also banned TV channels associated with his political opponents.

Banned a Christian Church.

Passed a law in 2022 to censor journalists and combined all news into 1 gov’t station.

Journalists investigating his corruption get conscripted and thrown on the front lines to die.

Who knew that the old WWII adage of being threaten to being "sent to the Eastern Front" to die is still a thing to this very day. If that doesn't speaks volumes of the Soviet^H^H^H^H^HHRussian, I don't know what else is.

Sadly, US Rep. Chuck Schumer (D-CA) calls Zelensky "the leader of the free world".
Perhaps they’re including the CPU cache and rounding down for brevity.
Yes, but is it really a cognitive bias though? A lot of voters went against their own interests in the last election, in favor of techno-fascism. I can't remember who wrote that "in a capitalist society, the bourgeoisie's ideology is necessarily the dominant one".
That's fair, but the point is still that "The Worst Thing Ever" was the online part, which this doesn't do, so the comparison makes little to no sense. I'll check out their write up though, sounds interesting.
On what shell? That doesn't work in bash. I use `type` for that, since it'll tell you if it's on PATH, a function, or an alias

gdb is aliased to `gdb -q'
Previous model of M2 Ultra had max memory of 192GB. Or 128GB for Pro and some other M3 model, which I think is plenty for even 99.9% of professional task.

They now bump it to 512GB. Along with insane price tag of $9499 for 512GB Mac Studio. I am pretty sure this is some AI Gold rush.
> The higher-ups aren't fools, they know what they're doing.

Recent evidence contradicts this viewpoint.
I think you can certainly learn a lot by being curious and fishing out anything that smells, yeah.

> it is simple, but not easy

Mom always taught me the polite way of saying this is that something is then 'straightforward'.

The matrix here is:

Steps are clear, but difficult to take > 'straightforward'

Steps are clear, but easy to take > 'trivial, easy, simple, etc'

Steps are unclear, but difficult to take > 'hard, impossible, non-trivial, etc'

Steps are unclear, but easy to take > 'should be a lark, non-obvious, etc'
VRAM is what takes a model from "can not run at all" to "can run" (even if slowly), hence the emphasis.
When it comes to LLMs in particular, it comes down to memory size+bandwidth more than anything else.
Real time / embedded / etc for money handling, healthcare, aviation/transport... And 'needs' is a loaded term; the biggest $ contributors to formal verification progress are blockchain companies these days while a lot of critical systems are badly written, outsourced things that barely have tests.

My worst fear, which is happening because it works-ish, is vague/fuzzy systems being the software because it's so like humans and we don't have anything else. It's a terrible idea, but of course we are in a hurry.
Sure, and that could break the printer, cause it to print things I don't want it to, or cause it to serve malware to other devices. I would like the printer to be too simple for the third case to be realistic, but that may be harder to build today than something with a more complex embedded OS.
Interesting article. I definitely did not have "band of trans militant vegans starts a cult and commits multiple murders" on my bingo card for this century.
How many EU politicians are poor, broke and humble?
If we think of the 'budget' as being similar to a bandwidth limit on video playback, there's a kind of line below which the picture starts being pretty unintelligible, but for the most part that's a slider: the less the budget, the slightly less accurate playback you get.

But because this is clean data, I wonder if there's basically a big gap here: the codec that encodes the "correct rule" can achieve a step-change lower bandwidth requirement than similar-looking solutions. The most elegant ruleset - at least in this set of puzzles - always compresses markedly better. And so you can kind of brute-force the correct rule by trying lots of encoding strategies, and just identify which one gets you that step-change compression benefit.
No, I said WW2 did not end reasonably because that land was just seized by SU instead. The right move would have been to push back against SU, IMO.

Why are you okay with USSR controlling those territories but not the axis?
Time to upgrade m1 ultra I guess! M1 ultra has been pretty good with deepseek locally.
Or this guy...

https://metro.co.uk/2024/07/08/worlds-loneliest-man-lives-70...

Or the Lykov family.
What's more important isn't how beefy it is, it's how much memory it has.

These are unified memory. The M3 Ultra with 512gb has as much VRAM as sixteen 5090.
my man here is trying to develop the devil's lettuce for real.
It is a bit misleading to do that, but in fairness to Apple, almost nobody is upgrading to this from an M4 Mac, so those are probably more useful comparisons.
Yeah, I guess me and the author just have different opinions on it. I do the same as you: start with an alias, use a function if its more complicated, and only use scripts for things that are closer to programs in complexity/length. Using this model over the past ~10 years I have ~50/50 split of aliases/functions and only a few scripts.
Not even Framework has escaped from soldered RAM for this kind of thing.

> And even if the war ends, Europeans will be ware of sending their money to a country that may use it against them.

I'd bet a significant fraction of my net worth that Europeans will embrace Russian energy after the war.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/24/eu-spends-more...
Wow didn’t know about that…
Whoa. M3 instead of M4. I wonder if this was basically binning, but I thought that I had read somewhere that the interposer that enabled this for the M1 chips where not available.

That Said, 512GB of unified ram with access to the NPU is absolutely a game changer. My guess is that Apple developed this chip for their internal AI efforts, and are now at the point where they are releasing it publicly for others to use. They really need a 2U rack form for this though.

This hardware is really being held back by the operating system at this point.
CAMM2 could kinda work, but each module is only 128-bit so I think the furthest you could possibly push it is a 512-bit M Max equivalent with CAMM2 modules north, east, west and south of the SOC. There just isn't room to put eight modules right next to the SOC for a 1024-bit bus like the M Ultra.
We do know that. The proof is in the myriad of studies which conclude some animal does something which we previously thought was exclusively human. Human exceptionalism is reduced by every single one of those, never increased.

Sure, it is plausible there are indeed some things only humans can do. But at the same time there are a myriad of other things other animals find trivial and we know we can’t do.

Thus we’re not exceptional, just different like every other species is. We’ll be much better served scientifically by being humble than by believing everything we do is unique and being constantly proven wrong.

Sorry, that's ad hominem (name calling) but not a valid argument.

Is it civilly or criminally illegal for the standing president to do "sell the plate" fundraisers for PACs that aren't kickbacks?

Where is the current record of such receipts?

Kickback (bribery): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kickback_(bribery)

Influence peddling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influence_peddling

US Constitution > Article II > Section 4:
https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-2/#ar...

> The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Impeachment in the United States:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_Stat... :

> The Constitution limits grounds of impeachment to "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors", [2] but does not itself define "high crimes and misdemeanors".

Presumably, Bribery needn't be defined in the Constitution because such laws and rules are the business of the Legislative and the Judicial branches, and such rules apply to all people.
