China is laughing because US pensioners will have paid trillions to train all these AI models whose weights can be distilled and open sourced trivially. Giving Silicon Valley political power is going to cost the United States enormously, st

it is a case of socialize the losses, privatize the gains. regarding tax payers, the biggest sins of new data centers seem to be: * driving power bills parabolic due to no mandated investment in power generation or delivery grid * consuming

I don't think we got a full picture of Israel's leverage over US politicians and business people. How many people like Epstein are out there acting as "access agents" to Mossad? How many US gov employees and politician

I have an irrational hatred of someone who believes in "reality distortion fields". Over the last 10 years, I also have come away with an intense impression that Silicon Valley is full of the self-delusional type, as evidenced by

I do work off of a Chromebook with 8GB of RAM total, but I do keep an eye on how many tabs I have open.

20 years ago there were a lot of peer to peer applications. For example, Skype used to bounce calls across peers. Now, all calls gets routed through big-brother Microsoft. NAT and American assymmetric bandwidth ISPs both killed this busine

I want to echo this comment. I am on Map-e in Asia and it is very difficult to get an exclusive ipv4 address without paying extra money. And I want to connect to my machines without some stupid vpn or crappy cloud reverse tunneling service.

btw, is it me or is there any justification for anyone including a developer to run more than 8GB of RAM for a laptop? I don't see functionality as having changed in the last 15 years. For me, only Rust compilation necessitates more R

How does Mark Zuckerberg triggering a genocide in Myanmar, among election interference, rank up with your disdain for EU digital policy? Are politicians not supposed to do anything about Zuckerberg after watching Sarah Wynn Williams testify

The gamble these executives are making is that prosecutors in a different administration will not prosecute them for bribery. If you watch House of Cards (based loosely on real life), you can see the degree of separation between corporation

If companies operated as partnerships instead of limited liability companies, then I guess I could buy into this. But states grant special privileges of capping personal liability for investors. Perhaps states should rethink the conditions

I want to see if Kei-trucks can break into the market. The last time a new product form broke into the US market, it was during a big recession (japanese auto-makers got compact cars in). People will value functionality over form if we ge

You ban monetization of the data. The federal government has the power to regulate interstate commerce. States can ban this behavior as well. Furthermore, legislators can create a right to privacy in the law, letting people sue companies w

Windows users' relationship with Microsoft looks like an abusive spouse relationship. I don't think the hurdle is so high for companies to sell Linux machines that look like Windows XP and users to just stomach changing OSs. I thi

Don't ISPs now provide ipv6 addresses? Why not just connect directly home via ipv6 address. I think many ISPs in Asia where ipv4 addresses are scarce have been moving to MAP-e, which is ipv6 centric. I don't see why I want to loo

Just to add to this, customers are paying for a human to take responsibility for getting a job done. An amorphous "AI" cannot take responsibility and therefore does not merit the funds being spent on things like this report.

Rent is out of control. I am amazed that anyone can afford kids, much less afford to dedicate the time necessary for kids to succeed in school. Then you have the brain rot that has infected youth and efforts to defund public schools. I ha
