Doctors, lawyers, low-level executives. The ones with single and double-digit millions in retirement accounts and real estate value. For Exhibit A, see Mangioni: mid-level executive barely scraping into the 1% by wealth who didn’t have personal security.

Right. This is the story of violent revolutions. The masses are told fever dreams of riches ahead. But they generally wind up poorer than before because the single track to date of revolutions that seek to depose not only the head of state but also the elite is bloodshed for the poor and evacuation for the rich.

The Metaverse doesn't require a VR headset; VR should only be one device option.

I get deep into this in [plug] my book [/plug] but Neal Stephenson himself changed his mind about it needing VR when he played Doom in the early 90s. Also, VR tends to make over half the population want to vomit, especially women and girls. Another thing Meta ignored, which is crazy!
Yep, most of the previous Mars rover prior to Curiosity did it this way. They had a number of balloons surrounding the rover and landed and bounced along the surface. Then the balloons were deflated in a particular order so the rover ended up the right way up. But for these there was some atmosphere to slow the descent with a parachute and balloons. But for landing on the moon you need the thrusters to slow you down for landing so it can't just be balloons on either side. Presumably you could still use something to slow you down that isn't part of the science mission for the lander that gets ejected right before landing an then let the balloons hit the surface and drop down. But now there are multiple mechanisms and things to do the landing which means more money.

Pornhub knows they do not want to have trouble so they will respect the browser setting and not serve minors.

I'm okay with modal dialogs working that way as long as people get the message: dialogs are supposed to be ephemeral. If closing the dialog loses important state, or you need information from something under the dialog in order to use the dialog, what you have shouldn't be a modal dialog. And you can tell, because in most UI frameworks that widget is just begging to be closed. Unfortunately, a lot of teams don't get the message.
Nvidia is imho kind of a resurgence of large scale 90s Unix systems (ala SGI) [1], and not just by pricing and looks but also if you look at the vertical integration. I think this kind of business setup is more vulnerable to competition from below than people like to think, and it really only takes 1-2 product misses for a big shakeup.

A lot of Americans see Europe as degenerate, immoral, holier-than-thou, and leeching off of US largesse. They'll probably cheer anything that sticks it to Europe and looks like it would save money for the US. There's a lot of overlap with Trump supporters in this group. (To be clear, I'm not one of them, that's just a sentiment I hear from certain quarters.)
I suspect that US has kill switches in place to ensure that their tech cant be used against them. Should they come up against F-35s they sold to another nation, it would make sense to have a mechanism, unknown to the purchaser, that would render it usesless against the US.

"I’m betting on AMD being undervalued, and that the demand for AI has barely started."

I'd love to see AMD get a multiplatorm product so mature that I can pip install PyTorch on Windows or MacOS with an AMD card (https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). But I don't think that their market cap will change quickly even if this happens. Many people have been bought AMD cards in the past because they are cheaper and then died waiting for AMD to have a mature CUDA equivalent. Nobody is going to be quickly buying AMD cards as soon as the software is good- they will gradually change when they replace NVDA hardware, and not everyone is going to make that choice.

If I were making a bet (and I'm not), I'd bet that NVDA is overvalued right now and their growth will slow to correct this but it won't crash, and I'd bet that AMD will gradually increase in value to reward them for software investments, but it won't spike as soon as their software looks good. Neither of these things would I want to put a lot of money on, since they are long term bets, and if you're going long then you might as well just invest in the broader market. And even if I thought that NVDA was going to crash and AMD was going to spike, I still wouldn't bet because I have no idea whether it would happen in the next 6 months or 6 years.

I think for at least the next several years at minimum we’re going to see people continuing to integrate large language models more deeply into more aspects of their workflow. Many people will become used to what’s only possible with the absolute best and will simply lose interest in second rate models. I have no doubt that at some point this process will stabilize, but we’re definitely not close to that point yet.

At a non-profit that I contribute to we recently switched everything to Microsoft because it was the easiest way for ~10 people with varying backgrounds to collaborate, when you have only a part time technical person who has limited time to set everything up.

Costs a bit of money, but dealing with Google Docs, Synology, Dropbox, email and web hosting providers took so much effort. Setting up Sharepoint etc. isn't trivial either but at least it's a standard setup that you'll always find someone who can manage it.
It's not interesting though. He was sent an MI300X, released in 2023, to develop his AI stack with.

The MI300X was lacking in a few areas vs the H100 at the time, overall perf and power efficiency were two big areas. Power efficiency is critical atm, that's seriously the biggest barrier to scaling datacenter rollout right now.

AMDs next card might be better on this front, it might not. But this article doesn't talk to anything about the next card. It's referring to a card from 2023.
Sounds trivial. Without opening the link, let me guess: QCL?
One theory was to rant at everyone about everything in the hope of getting little random trade concessions from everyone. The squeeky wheel is the one that gets greased or something. The "what" didn't matter.

BUT the ranting is now at the stage where it has created chaos everywhere. And that has been costly everywhere, first of all in the US. Can the concessions make up for that cost? Is anyone in the mood for concessions by now? It's becoming doubtful. A little outrage would have been no big deal, but it seems we are already past that.

I can now see a second theory: if you see a stalemate you don't like - and your position is otherwise somewhat strong - you can kick major mayhem all around you and stand ready to grab what falls back down from people in a less strong situation. A mix of disruption and being bold when the others are fearful. In that situation, the cost of chaos may be acceptable because you believe you can survive that chaos while the others cannot.
It's only logical. OpenAI it's too expensive for what it produces. Deep Seek is on par with ChatGPT and the cost was lower. Claude development costs less, too.
>the new command and commandfor attributes, enhancing and replacing the popovertargetaction and popovertarget attributes.

At first I was worried because they just added the popover API recently, which itself replaced <dialog>, but this is still using the same API, just calling it from HTML differently. Still, I'm not fully clear on what the long term goal here is? Replacing UI toolkits? Simplifying state frameworks by removing js from certain functions? For example, the play/pause functionality.[0] For a simple website, you don't need to add any such functionality because browsers have built in video players that allow you to play, pause, mute etc. So this isn't necessary for simple websites. But then for websites that are more complex, you would already be using js presumably?

I do mostly like what is written here about the project in general, which seems to answer the above question:

>But another 15 years have gone by since the last major revision to form and UI interfaces. Most complex web projects today need far more than what HTML5 form and UI controls provide. And so, all-too-often today’s web developers turn to heavy JavaScript frameworks to build the user interfaces their designers are asking for. These custom interfaces are rarely fully accessible. They slow down the page, consume power, open security vulnerabilities and exclude people.

>Additionally, today’s projects often reject existing built-in form and UI controls because they require more agency over the look and feel of the interface. Web designers demand the ability to express their project’s branding across every element on the page, including all user interfaces. Current form and website-level UI controls do not allow for this.[1]

So the goal is to remove JS from UI components for UIs that already exist natively in HTML. Still, at least for the above video example, some sites want different behavior when the user taps on the screen. Some will bring up the video playback bar and settings, others will immediately pause, others will pause if the playback bar is hidden and remove the bar if visible, etc. I don't see how you can do that without JS, at which point el.playing = false seems much better than using a button command attribute. Or is this just a bad example?

Doge Is Putting Major Government Efficiency Projects at Risk
>We havent seen or heard any great public outcry about what Trump is doing

The police are threating to kill us if we protest.

Our students, normally the readiest to protest, face threats of expulsion and deportation if they attend a protest that is deemed "illegal".

Most of our working class are living paycheck to paycheck. In this job market, that means missing even a few days' work to protest means looking for a new job. With a lack of real social support programs, a large scale protest means hungry children. Maybe even homeless children.

What would you like us to do?

I think the protests will start in earnest once there's a large unemployed population. How long will that take, though?
Anything can be called 4D chess if we add enough layers to the logic. I agree that what you're describing makes sense; but I think it's probably more in line with the bureaucratic mindset to observe this is the result of decades of kicking cans down the road.
Mountain gorillas: The ripple effect of conservation
Honestly, I'm having a hard time with my sarcasm detector here. Plenty of others working on robots. Plenty of smart, business savvy, hard working CEOs that didn't win the next round of the infinite game.

I like nvidia, I think they're doing good work, but I don't think their current trajectory is some sort of well-moated flywheel the way some others think it is. Selling shovels during a gold rush can make you rich, it doesn't mean you'll still be selling shovels in 100 years.
Why did you handcuff a grad student to the table?
I think OpenAI is toxic. Weird corporate governmance shadiness. The Elon drama, valuations based on claims that seem like the AI version of the Uber for X hype of a decade ago (but exponentially crazier). The list goes on.

Microsoft is the IBM of this century. They are conservative, and I think they’re holding back — their copilot for government launch was delayed months for lack of GPUs. They have the money to make that problem go away.
Probably wouldn't happen in retail - the price differences are stark.

I think it's raw materials. Canada and Greenland both have a load of them. Trump could buy them, he'd rather just _have_ them.

I also think (and I realize this, uh, is not a nuanced, science-backed view) that he's senile and as a result collapses complex ideas into their simplest possible form, which is what we're seeing here. There's a level where examining his motivations in depth just comes up empty and I think that's... accurate?
Yes, that does seem to be the impression we're getting in Europe. The western alliance is dead, but the only people mourning it are in Europe.
It doesn't seem like you care to communicate anything, really. You've pivoted and conflicted your own words multiple times now, and you were markedly annoyed before I asked questions, which is what prompted them in the first place.

"Books are about information primarily. Then they are about stimulation, of which there is only one type. But not that kind of stimulation." You seem most interested in figuratively listening to yourself talk, because I refuse to believe that your goal is to convince a stranger on the internet that instead of picking up a book they might as well binge whatever is hot on Netflix, which is all I've gathered from your words.

Your comment history seems similarly pessimistic and snarky, and other commenters in sibling threads seem to be getting a similar impression.

I wish you the best. Truly.
Sure, but my point is that guaranteeing a right to health care or education makes little philosophical sense. It’s childish to say that a) these things are good, and b) we want the government to do good things, so therefore c) everyone has a right to get good things from the government.

> AI is also incredibly deflationary long term. The path we were on would have devalued the currency long term. If we get control of the debt and re-shore manufacturing, I can't imagine that not being good for the currency. I think the easiest way to get a non-distorted view is by flipping things around from the perspective of China.

> All of this would seem bad from the Chinese perspective.

China is leading with very aggressive investments in AI and automation, along with clean energy and clean energy vehicles. America is...just blustering mostly, some AI investments, but not much beyond that. China is set to reap more of the AI revolution than the US is, so it is very good from the Chinese perspective, especially given the increasing skill gap between Chinese and American talent. The MAGA effort is just making it worse by de-emphasizing education even more. Like Trump, Xi is an autocrat for sure, but unlike Trump he isn't stupid.

> sometimes it's better to just accept the risk of it happening again, as the preventative measure may be worse than the disease

I mean, while this is an important consideration to have, I fear that all too often it's used as an excuse to ignore the issue altogether until a later date, especially by management.

Prevention doesn't necessarily mean the issue is prevented from recurring, but that the outcome is prevented. It could be building a self-healing check that intervenes on a given symptom to auto-repair a known fault. It could be firing off a warning that this issue will happen again soon, so whoever is on call isn't caught by surprise. It could be shunting a known outage into a specific maintenance window, so customers don't notice it.

Prevention is ideal, sure, but sometimes the best you can do is a preemptive response.
> despite research showing no connection

... so far. What's the harm in pivoting research goals? A curious mind (like many have here on HN) will pursue all avenues, even those some may consider controversial and contradictory to our current beliefs. I, for one, am supportive of being curious like this, and I can only hope that it spurs curious discussion among the world, as per the HackerNews guidelines.

Certain US states are requiring the porn sites actually do rigorous age verification via scanned documents. I believe PornHub just opted to stay out of those states entirely hoping that their "reverse boycott" would cause enough of a backlash to get the laws changed. I'm not sure it's working.

That said, as a parent to teenagers, I don't know that I believe that age verification is such a terrible idea. The reality is that there's a lot of fucked up porn out there and blocking it effectively across all networks and every device is non-trivial. I understand this is a minority viewpoint on HN.

Of course I have absolutely no interest in uploading scans of my drivers license to porn sites so I don't know what the right answer is. I'm sure there's some cryptographic scheme whereby a 3rd party could verify my identity without knowing for what purpose and then the porn sites could validate that verification without disclosing who or what I'm doing. I dunno.
