What's your plan on when you successfully limit western AI but have no control over China and they continue to march forward?

So given that, do you want the Chinese to stop developing AI too?

Do you want the Chinese to stop as well?

Why do you on HN want AI to slow down (mainly OpenAI and Anthropic from what I see in the comments)? What's the driving force behind your opinions on this?

More Japanese obsessed hacker news posts. What's up with this? There's a daily post on HN of various topics, usually something obscure, about Japan. Why?

Yeah but only those experts could do that. Now average people can do what experts were doing, and the experts don't like that. They want to be unique. Same concept as "I knew that song before it was popular on the radio"

Hard agree. I've felt it already during outages or when I was traveling and didn't have internet on a flight, I couldn't function at the same level. I've been writing code for over 25 years, worked at the top big tech co

Good. AI is a game changer. It's like having an expert sitting next to you at all times. It's understandable why all these experts who want to gatekeep don't like AI, but ultimately, AI will win out, it's just too good.

A lot of good, hard working people in that area that would love to have these jobs open up.

How do you feel about people like me who own a home (multiple homes actually), have dozens of cameras around it, with license plate readers, and work with local police? As I enter retirement I plan on starting an open source style project w

Gemini can just consume the device documents. There's an incentive for device makers to publish this content.

If Rivian was completely equal with Tesla at FSD, your tone would be completely different about Rivian. We understand.

> It's a topsy-turvy world where America closes up and China opens There's nothing "open" about China. Google, meta, openai, etc all blocked. Go visit and see how it goes when you try to access your gmail or open face

I just checked, and now it is 50 Gbps. Not long ago it was 300 Gbps when I moved into my house. I guess they lowered it. Not really any use for such speeds in a residential home anyways.

Because my main account is tied to my real identity in the username so I wanted to shift away from that.

No, not a typo. Ziply has 300 Gbps at my house if I want to pay $900 a month. Instead I pay $65 for 2 Gbps

I have fiber (I can get up to 300 Gbps at my home in the Seattle area, but I got opted for the 2Gbps) and I have Starlink as backup/failover. I previously used my mobile service for that but learned the hard way that when there's

No, I just created a new alt account. I have a year 1 account as my main.

Thanks. This is very useful. I'm surprised at push back I always get on this topic so it's nice to see I'm not the only one. I thought tech people were concerned about privacy, but I guess not? I know discord and a few other

I rarely type my password or PIN. And if I did, I'd make sure to hide my screen. But I frequently casually read HN, reddit, and other sites casually and in public places. It would be nice if my username wasn't so visible to others

Then I can't vote up/down, hide, or flag posts and logged out users will get cached pages.

Ask HN: Please give us an option to hide our username in the upper right corner
