Doesn't need to be general semicondustor manufacturing. Just RAM will do it. And that would spell the end for Micron and maybe Hynix. Samsung is sufficiently diversified. That's the whole list.

True, though if you're gonna get bent out of shape about overintellectualizing something, "reading books" is probably gonna be a tough sell.

That's because the recommendation engine that Last.fm used back in the day was made the incredibly expensive way: the entire corpus was hand-tagged and cross-linked by humans atop an enormous CDDB. Last.fm, Audioscrobbler, and MusicBra

By all means go for it! I’m averaging 250 karma per annum; if I were going to put effort into that it would’ve already happened by now

I am a simple man. I see Terry Pratchett on HN and I share Venkat Rao’s lovely essay at https://contraptions.venkateshrao.com/p/discworld-rules .

If I had a dollar for each secret I’ve committed to a public repo, I could probably buy a couple of sandwiches. I’m not smarter and my opsec probably isn’t any better than most old devs, but I also don’t have a treasure trove of government

In a sane, fair, and (crucially) long-term stable system, persons given privilege and authority over others are subject to a higher standard for their own behavior. The long-running US trend of the inverse (additional legal protections for

I stand corrected! Apologies.

I presume you mean Islamic. More to the point, Iran has been preparing for war with the US for decades. The US prepared for _this_ war with Iran for a couple of weeks.

The cascade of self-injury and self-sabotage required for the US to end up in this position cannot be understated. It's much easier to defend against an attacker whose first move is to blind and disarm themselves.

Yeah. I think what gets me most about both LLM-generated and LLM-inflected writing is the sheer laziness. You don't even have to hand-edit this stuff! Even feeding your spewed output through a slightly more human-sounding model (Palmyr

I don’t know if it’s by LLM generation or just contemporary style, but I find the style of omitting the subject from sentence after sentence after sentence unreadable. Once is fine. Six in a row is insufferable.

Does it matter? If a permanent resident class exists (de facto is fine, if not legal), what would those folks be missing out on that citizenship would confer? You can’t legalize your way to cultural assimilation, and it’s not like the CCP w

Yeah, same thought. Parent post isn’t theoretical; that’s pretty much what actual US demographics are. The population of the NYC metro area exceeds that of the entire US Mountain _timezone_.

The current batch of "building X bespoke just for me" is really lovely to see. Many of these tools are very much a bicycle built for one, and I'm not test-driving them myself, and _that's okay_. Not everything has to be

Multimode is probably fine, provided it's OM3 or higher. You might need to think about it down the road, 5+y out. Having a spool just lying around would make it a perfectly reasonable choice. The fibre itself is a little more expensive

If you’re going to go to all this trouble, please do seriously consider pulling singlemode fibre instead. It is more planning up front, but when you’re ready for your next upgrade cycle, you can reuse the same fibre and change out the hardw

It does not work both ways. One party to this is a high-inertia, potentially high-velocity metal box that, in an impact with the other party, typically results in an property insurance claim. The other is a low-inertia flesh bag that, in an

I can barely get it to send a PDF to my printer without a flat refusal >_<

So far most of what I'm noticing is different is a _lot_ more flat refusals to do something that Opus 4.6 + prior CC versions would have explored to see if they were possible.

Oh, come on. The DOJ doesn't prosecute _child rape_ if you're a protected class. And all these insider traders are a protected class.

My sibling in sin, I have an EFF tee from about 2001-2002 that reads, in boldface, “FREE SPEECH HAS A POSSE”. They have always been broadly political.

This is unfair to the original article, which is well-researched and worth a read. But the answer this question is _always_ no. Nobody should have as much power as the oligarch class currently does, even if of inscrutable power.

It's a trust issue. And trust and competence are inextricably linked. Most of us with career-track jobs use electronic deposit to an account at a bank, and keep things there. The account is "yours", and the trust is establish
