Frustrating the site doesn’t give any idea of what you’re supposed to be able to see with them on.
I think by “something popular” gp meant an industry that people are excited to be in — which dovetails with your implication about accepting low pay for a way in the industry
It’s not remotely hypothetical you’d have to be living under a rock to believe that. And the fusion with a one-party state government that doesn’t tolerate huge swathes of thoughtspace being freely discussed is…
Literal Trump Derangement Syndrome. America has a comically horrendous president but remains fundamentally a liberal democracy… and Canada concludes “literal Nazis are a better choice”. It’s uncanny how much can be…
DeepSeek uses merchant silicon like everyone else. edit: I misunderstood, I thought you were implying they designed their own GPUs. nevermind
Thank you for sharing, that is interesting to hear. It bears repeating that I do not presume a monolithic opinion of the citizens of China or the culturally Chinese diaspora. I balance that against the reactions and…
I am categorically against invasions and conquest of land by force. We live in the year 2026, not the year 1985. I set my priorities accordingly.
But to gp's point, that is a principle. Perhaps not yours, but they outlined their stance and stuck to it despite threats and consequences. Contrast Sam's OpenAI announcement which was very carefully worded to appear to…
How do they feel about and respond when asked about the Taiwan question? Do they either clam up or act like it's a mortal insult to suggest that an independent democratic nation should not live in fear of impending…
Maybe worth asking for anyway? They might just be setting metrics based on the most popular ways of measuring but if they care about the spirit of the offer it would make sense for them to be flexible with the letter of…
Exactly and that danger grows as the ability to do so in increasingly automated and targeted ways increases. Should be very obvious now looking at the world around us. Also, failing to consider the legal and rights…
Source on that? Hadn’t seen that
Yup yup. Evil NATO denying the native “panslavism” that all Slavic people yearn for, to put them safely into the Russian yoke they so love. /s
When one is this far gone into a nationalist information bubble haze, it ceases to be productive to argue with them. Everything this poster demands to be “shown” is openly available in abundance from the relevant…
Let’s start with it being hell bent on annexing a peaceful independent island democracy, by force if needed, because of their own political insecurities. The examples expand from there, but that one alone is sufficient.
It’s quite plainly the CCP that is the Nazi regime of the 21st century.
In addition to the factors named by sibling comments, which I largely agree with, there is also the rise of short form entertainment on these platforms. In 2004, social media was mostly text, images and low-fidelity…
Isn’t it just an hn convention? I agree with your comment I’m replying to completely, but the date tag doesn’t have to be an indictment (as you yourself suggest)
Spot on. And the mistake of considering appeasement of said totalitarian superpower by “letting them have it” would be just as enormous.
Normalize that to global and it won’t look quite so stark. Not saying India’s development is unimpressive but let’s put things in a real context
The Sims also still prints money and there's a new version due soon-ish. But, basically, yes agreed.
Classically it doesn't, but colloquially it does. The dreaded "language changes and evolves" defense that frustrates pedants everywhere. (I say this in the friendly spirit of a long-defeated fellow pedant who has hit…
I concur with this take. Like many facets of culture, some people/groups will project what they want onto a given cultural entity (South Park, in this case), but that doesn’t mean one should assume they speak for it.…
A lot beyond the scope of the time I have to comment here. Read it with an open mind, knowledge of tech business, knowledge of how things unfolded since it was published and see for yourself. But some short hand:…
I agree with your general point, but Khan was excessively trigger happy in a way that highlights exceptions to your observation. E.g. blocking Meta acquisition of Within was nonsense that did nothing to validate the…
