That's not really addressing the same issue though. I'm saying that there is a pressure to preamble any (good or weak) criticism of AI with an Apostle's Creed of AI positiveness, reassuring the reader that what follows isn&#x

>Often these solutions are announced in a rush, leaving no time for a proper writeup, the isolation of new methods and ideas, and citing relevant previous work of others. That's just capitalism seeping through a previously unexplore

I'm not saying China is perfect, but its not unreasonable to entertain the possibility that it might be better than what we've suffered for the last century. Okay, Taiwan. They are the losing side from the Chinese civil war from o

I think many people share this feeling. I sure do. I don't see how it could have gone any other way. The internet became too pervasive, too embedded into too many people's lives, for it to not be weaponized by governments and larg

This is a great idea and something I've faced and had to implement manually in the past. The most common scenario for me was: I implement backup, done by a daily cron calling pg_dump. It worked and I moved on, until one day I needed to

"if you think the people selling lettuce at farmers markets or farm stands have any verified food safety or food handling expertise, they don't." Really? At least here (Canada), you absolutely do need food safe certifications

That's a profoundly strange take. I've never in my life seen a more anti-China technology forum than HN. Whatever the headline is, say "CO2 levels have been falling for 21 months", if it has "China" in it, it w

Might be a stupid question, but at that scale, wouldn't any kind of memory be soldered into the SOC, and thus have next to zero commercial value if removed? I have a hard time believing they would use actual retail DIMM memory sticks f

That's just a non sequitur. Compare the scale of datacenter construction in the past decades vs the pace post 2022. Also the general computing datacenters of the past are vastly different in societal utility vs the GPU only AI datacent
