I did my fair share of hacking when I was 20. Most of it was out of curiosity and stupidity and I tried to never produce any damage. Have I compromised a big website or government server I never leaked credentials or defaced anything. In fact I never bragged publicly and I tried to be quiet, unseen and tried to erase my traces.
You not seeing arguments doesn't invalidate them. You arent the judge on this.
Your message implies there is other wowork "white men" are currently doing (but shouldn't?).

What are the invalid things they seem to be doing today?
I know you are trying to be helpful, but this is a bandaid at best.

I also wouldn't feel comfortable installing this on a computer that is security critical.

The other thing is that Windows is annoying. Where Fedora 'just works', Windows needs a third party debloater tool?

I'm certain its not going to fix all the items I listed as well..
What benefit is there to me to do so?

Why would I want to be locked out of my own PC if I have an extended internet outage and the cached credential expires? What if Microsoft bans my Microsoft account? Note that I also refuse to set up a login "pin" which reduces security to bypass my proper password.

Also, and picking at nits at this point, I hate how it takes the username@outlook.com account name and creates a profile directory with a truncated version of that. It's just always rubbed me the wrong way as well.

I guess I should say - I'm just picky about things on my PC so I tend not to automatically embrace every change Microsoft makes unless there is a clear benefit to me to do so.
Lip-Bu Tan is continuing Pat's playbook, so why did Intel replace him? [pdf]
I just finished reading the new shareholder letter from Intel’s freshly appointed CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, and I genuinely had to pause and ask myself: wait, didn’t Pat already say all of this?

The letter talks about accelerating the turnaround, focusing on customers, driving execution, cutting costs, and leaning hard into Intel’s IDM 2.0 strategy — the exact same themes we’ve heard from Pat Gelsinger for the last four years. There’s mention of 18A, Panther Lake, Nova Lake, Clearwater Forest, the foundry + product integration staying intact, and the importance of AI workloads and rack-scale systems.

It’s all there. The language might be a bit more “operational,” a little less inspirational, but it’s clearly the same blueprint.

Lip-Bu even references the 15% workforce reduction — which, to be clear, happened last year under Pat. He frames it as a necessary step, one that they’ll keep building on with ongoing cost-cutting and “portfolio simplification.” So far, though, no radical changes have been announced. It’s more like a continuation with maybe a slightly sharper knife.

The thing is: both Pat and Lip-Bu are engineers. They’re close in age. Neither one is exactly Steve Jobs in the charisma department. Both believe in Intel’s potential and have made it clear they want to keep the foundry and product businesses under one roof. Both are committed to heavy capital investment while streamlining operations. The core philosophy hasn’t changed.

And look — I get it. You can’t pivot a ship like Intel overnight. After four years and billions poured into foundry strategy, fabs, and long-term bets, no new CEO is going to walk in and say, “Let’s cancel everything.” That’d be insane. So of course Lip-Bu is going to continue most of it, at least for now.

But that’s what makes this feel strange. If the board was going to go as far as firing Pat — a public, major move — you’d expect something more than a change in tone or pacing. You’d expect a new direction. A clear shift in strategy. Something bold. But that’s not what we got.

So the only conclusion I can draw is that this wasn’t about the what, it was about the who. Maybe the board got impatient. Maybe they lost confidence in Pat’s ability to execute. Maybe there was a personal or operational disagreement behind closed doors. Could’ve been politics, or Wall Street pressure, or just frustration with the stock performance. Who knows.

But from the outside, it feels like they replaced the pilot without changing the flight plan.

Personally, I think Pat should’ve been given the full five years — maybe even more — to see his turnaround through. Four years just doesn’t feel like enough for the kind of deep transformation Intel is attempting.

Curious what others here think:
- Was this about execution speed or internal politics?
- Can a leadership change like this actually make a difference if the strategy is the same?
- And does it make you feel better or worse about Intel’s direction going forward?

Ahhh this makes sense, another mediocre guy blaming minorities for his own failures
Not very surprisingly, they all suck.
I'm kinda happy about this.

Our farmers in Utah lobby so hard for water, then use it to grow alfalfa which they sell to China because they can sell it there for more money than it can be sold locally. It boils my circuits that they ask for our precious water -- to which they have historically had an obvious right, growing our food -- and then basically ship it overseas. Keep the crops at least sold in the US, and hopefully to other Utahns who have a hard time buying alfalfa because China inflates the price. 80% of our water goes to farmers here. I'm glad of it when they grow wheat and sell it to us, but not when it gets exported. These tariffs will hopefully help with that.
What is the use of this opensurce when you have a strict license ?
I was thinking about this, outside of services the only thing I do buy is Park Tool bike tools (which are excellent).

I suppose I could include Apple products on the basis that the majority of the profits go to the US rather than the country of manufacture. Apple sells £1.5b of goods and services in the UK although that won't appear in the UK-US trade figures.
The US has been corrupt for a long time with its revolving door but it's getting so blatant that frankly it's shocking. As a ruling class, you want to at least pretend to have some illusion of fairness. It's starting to looking some backwater Balkan nation or something.
> and guess who is winning

Again that is your perspective on "winning", which remains subjective (and normally faulty). Others call psychopathic achievers simply "contemptible".

> Whats the benefit of a "society"?

That would be the whole work of Thomas Hobbes, for example: avoiding the nightmare of perpetual conflict. It is very linear to see the benefit of being able to trust your neighbour.
On the flip side, there are loads of names/trademarks which would sound very strange when you hear them for the first time when translated from non-English to English. Consider "Volkswagen" as "People's cart".

For example I have some sort of "anchoring" effect on some names such as Mac Pro, I still cannot accept it as a good name compared to the previous name: PowerMac. The older name is much more natural and better in my mind. Are you perhaps experiencing a similar effect with an the English trademark which has been a natural part of your vocabulary for a long time.

As for "Windows" in my native tongue, we have the same name for the digital rectangular representation on screen, so it would work. But then again, trademarks and marketing names are seldom localised.
Anthropic recently published a fascinating paper with an unusual title: “On the Biology of a Large Language Model.” But what does biology have to do with AI? As it turns out, quite a lot. The researchers are essentially performing a digital dissection of Claude’s “brain” to understand how it thinks—and finding surprising parallels to biological systems along the way.

In this post, I’ll break down this complex research into digestible parts, explaining how scientists are starting to understand what’s happening inside these AI systems when they answer our questions or write poetry.
Told you. It was just news reporting...I can't put Trump as Marco Inaros because he is not as smart.
Fleshy meat sacks on a space rock eating one another alive and shitting them out on a march towards inevitable doom in the form of a (likely) painful and terrifying death is a genius design, no?
New cars - They are not purchased very often by the middle class and they will lean domestic if they desire new or buy foreign cars on the used market if they really desire them.

Foreign Alcohol as a treat - If it’s a “treat” it’s already likely a more expensive choice than a domestic equivalent and any cost increase becomes part of the luxury of it being a treat. If your $60 bottle of Italian wine that you occasionally treat yourself with is now $80, you won’t really notice that $20. If you do, maybe you opt for a better domestic instead. If the $20 california wine you daily drink becomes $30, you notice that. But I assert that there is quite a bit of exceptional alcohol produced in the US and the middle class electorate is not going to starve for decent alcohol.

Furniture - Like cars, this is not a regular purchase and frankly not one where a price comparison with a prior purchase of a similar item will really notice any price increase due to tariffs. How often do you replace a dinner table? 10 years? Of course it’s more expensive than the last time you needed one.

Coffee is the one example where you have daily consumption and like I said on my original comment, food is one area that if affected, people will notice.

With his friends on the other side of the country?

What the GP explained even expands to adults. I have three friends geographically dispersed who play a few on-line games together on Friday nights, mostly just messing around, while they sit on a Discord chat. I dont really get into on-line stuff anymore but I've sat in on their discord chats and its everything from silly jokes that might as well come from children all the way to serious politics and life stuff.

Metaverse spaces so have their place and use, but I agree, make sure they go outside and play IRL getting exercise as well as social and environmental exposure.
People who have developed judgement. The blind are not judges on visible colours, those with good eyesight are.

Are you sure there hasnt been a dispute against you.

The sales you helped get some company might have been disputed.

The email seems to indicate the payments have been refunded to your clients. If indeed the client are eager to compensate you and aren't in dispute you can easily ask them to pay another way.
The unemployment is very low, so yes they are doing other stuff.
One idea is to increase incentives to buy non-US goods. And I really hope the EU puts similar incentives on services.

Even if Apple lower the prices less people will be able to afford them. The negative economic effects of these tariffs will ripple across the whole world.
Thank you for this. Very fair point, and something I've preached to folks when changing jobs in the past: don't leave your job for another company because your current job is awful... make sure you're joining a new company you actually feel good about, otherwise you'll end up in another potentially bad situation. Thank you for the reminder.

> the majority of households will not be able to survive for long if they have to spend an extra few thousand to stay where they are today.

The median American household has an income of around $78,000 [0]. They can survive the blowback. The Trump admin on the other hand will not.

As a Sullivan, Raimondo, and IRA supporting Dem, it's a win-win for me. Harsher policies against China have been enacted which will not be rolled back (just like how the Biden admin let Trump 1 era tariffs remain) and it will cause a severe blow as midterm fundraising season has started. The NY by-election for Stefanik's seat itself proved that the tariffs and DOGE have made plenty of purple to light red seats vulnerabile.

That’s exactly why it doesn’t make sense. Where would a datacenter-bound AI get more data about the world exactly?

The story is actually quite poorly written, with weird stuff about “oh yeah btw we fixed hallucinations” showing up off-handedly halfway through. And another example of that is the bit where they throw in that one generation is producing scads of synthetic training data for the next gen system.

Okay, but once you know everything there is to know based on written material, how do you learn new things about the world? How do you learn how to build insect drones, mass-casualty biological weapons, etc? Is the super AI supposed to have completely understood physics to the extent that it can infer all reality without having to do experimentation? Where does even the electricity to do this come from? Much less the physical materials.

The idea that even a supergenius intelligence could drive that much physical change in the world within three years is just silly.
Having a surface level understanding of what you're looking at is a huge part of OSINT.

These people absolutely were reading Reddit comments from a year ago to help them parse unfamiliar jargon in some document they found or make sense of what's going on in an image or whatever.
> Just yesterday people were trying to convince me that price hikes were good and would benefit Trump’s base.

Apparently, they have a plan.

AFAICT, the plan is based on the US being "the last man standing" after WWII and turning its wartime manufacturing base into the machine which rebuilt the world but, nonetheless, they have a plan.

So rejoice in the Glorious Leader's wisdom and know he feels your economic pain and hardship. We must all make sacrifices to Make America Great Again.
$2/month is way too cheap. What's the realistic market size here? How much of that is achievable to capture within 24 months? It doesn't seem like it would even support a single developer's salary within that time. Things like this make me worry that this will not be around for long. Even an extremely talented and motivated solo founder will run out of steam earning a fraction of what their skills are worth serving the most fussy, demanding and ungrateful audience imaginable: nerds.

OP increase your prices!
A LLM could have told you that this is badly written, maybe consult one next time.
> If the grammar rules you learned in school disagree with (any!) native speaker, the rules are wrong.

I understand the sentiment of "the language is defined by its speakers", but this statement seems a bit overblown. According to that logic, it is literally impossible for someone to be incorrect about the meaning of a word.
It's a careless and sloppy marketing job by someone who wants to reframe the definition of open source for the millionth time, unfortunately.
Developers who use AI tools are more productive, but are they happier?
There should be a middleground between "The dictionary is law" and "Any native speaker can redefine a language".

At the very least the direct consequence of

>If the grammar rules you learned in school disagree with (any!) native speaker, the rules are wrong.

is that every language has as many dialects as speakers.

Imo dictionaries are descriptive rather than prescriptive not because it is impossible to have prescriptive definitions or grammar, it is just that dictionaries do not even try; usually they just list common usage of words.
Here's some of what I think is my personal best advice:

Learn to live in the gray areas. Don't be dogmatic. The world isn't black and white. Take some parts of the black and white. And, don't be afraid to change your mind about some things.

This may sound obvious to some of you, and sure, in theory this is simple. But in practice? Definitely not, at least in my experience. It requires a change in mindset and worldview, which generally becomes harder as you age ("because your want to conserve the way of life you enjoy").
Its just an evolution of sending them "over the top" to charge at the enemy machine guns.
It was a suggestion. Lots of modern kids don't get out enough. And to be frank, I think it is you that is "dampening".
The global oxygen concentrators market was valued at approximately USD 2.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach around USD 4.8 billion by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2024 to 2033.

Oxygen Concentrators Market Trends

The oxygen concentrators market is growing due to the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, and COVID-19 aftereffects. Increasing demand for home-based and portable oxygen therapy solutions is driving market expansion. Technological advancements, including lightweight, energy-efficient, and smart concentrators with remote monitoring, are enhancing patient convenience. North America and Europe lead the market due to strong healthcare infrastructure, while Asia-Pacific is experiencing rapid growth with increasing healthcare accessibility. Government initiatives and rising elderly populations are further boosting demand. However, high costs and device maintenance remain challenges. The market is expected to grow steadily, driven by innovations in oxygen delivery systems and increasing healthcare investments.

They took a loss funding the game. And they've invested far more in their store platform, and advertising, and in free games, in order to encourage my purchase. I dare say they've probably spent more to get my purchase than I've paid them.

I don’t know about you, but my takeaway is that the author is doing damage control but inadvertently tipped a hand that OpenAI is probably running an elaborate con job on the DoD.

“Yes, we have a super secret model, for your eyes only, general. This one is definitely not indistinguishable from everyone else’s model and it doesn’t produce bullshit because we pinky promise. So we need $1T.”

I love LLMs, but OpenAI’s marketing tactics are shameful.
I'm a big fan of Douglas Adams, but there is a reason he was (best known as) a comedy writer and not, for example, a sociologist. Trotting this out adds nothing to the conversation and just comes across as vaguely ageist.
It's not about a respect, it's about not sounding childish. I swear discussions about American politics are the most infantile and tribal things on the internet, and that says a lot.

Salesforce is and pretty much always has been a set of code generation platforms. If you can produce a decent code generation platform, do it. It's one of the most sure ways to making money from software since it allows you to deploy systems and outsource a large portion of design to your customers.

Spotify is not the audio player widget in some user interface. It started off as a Torrent-like P2P system for file distribution on top of a very large search index and file storage. That's the minimum you'd build for a "whitelabel [...] Spotify clone". Since then they've added massive, sophisticated systems for user monitoring and prediction, ad distribution, abuse and fraud detection, and so on.

Use that code generation platform to build a product off any combination of two of the larger subsystems at Spotify and you're set for retirement if you only grab a reasonable salesperson and an accountant off the street. Robust file distribution with robust abuse detection or robust ad distribution or robust user prediction would be that valuable in many business sectors.

If building and maintaining actually is that effortless for you, show some evidence.
There is one trait common to nearly everyone participating in the computing industry: overweening pride in one's own intelligence.

People in the industry like to reduce 'intelligence' to a single dimension. You can see this phenomenon directly in the current AI wave in which "intelligence" has been reduced to "does well at 'knowledge worker' tasks and passes arbitrary benchmarks we have defined".
I honestly don't see why anyone who isn't JK Rowling should be allowed to coopt her world. I probably feel even more strongly for worlds/characters I like.
