Five comments so far, and literally none of you bothered to watch MO's actual video. He is mocking the phrase, not agreeing with it.

"I'm wondering how the people who ordered Intel to integrate spyware into their processors manages this? Answer: order them to tape out N units without the spyware for only you. A new photomask isn't all that expensive.

Beelink N5095 with 8GB RAM and a 256GB M.2 drive goes for $130 on Amazon. If you want just the board, the case is easy to strip off. The only reason not to do this is if you want GPIO pins, but USB->FTDI->Cheap Arduino board is an eas

What's the point, anymore? There are incredibly inexpensive Celeron-based SBCs on the market that vastly outperform the pi4 in any metric you can think of. Unless there's a pi5 on the horizon with higher clock speeds, better mem

Any particular reason not to run this model on a single Jetson AGX Orin 64GB? GP Core count is much lower than than the 4090 but it still does 275 int8 TOPS for only $2k

AI safety should be properly concerned with not becoming a paperclip maximizer. This is a concern completely orthogonal to the way alignment is being done now, which is to spare as many precious human feelings as possible. I don't know

No corporation can point a gun at my head and force me into a steel cage. No matter how evil and corrupt a given corporation is, it could never be as bad as a government.

Unrelated question for the HN experts: My sibling commenter is shadowbanned, but if you look into their comment history, there are occasionally comments that are not dead. How does this happen?

Indeed, watching Hacker News go from a nearly unanimous Musk Cheerleading Squad to the precise diametric opposite of that -- literally in the course of one month -- because he didn't echo CIA talking points about Ukraine was hilarious

School shootings are a rounding error in the youth homicide statistics, but they definitely make for good cable news coverage. The elephant in the room is inner-city, largely gang-related violence. Stopping those kids from obtaining firearm

Fair points. Maybe the entirety of economics should rightly be considered the voodoo psuedoscience that it is.

Yes, reading the texts from a school of economics that was capable of predicting the price inflation we see now from the money supply inflation of the previous decade seems like a horrible idea. Better to read about economics from the Keyne

Maybe. The correlation is weak. If you're looking for a stronger correlation, try obesity. People who are very overweight or obese in middle age (35-55) are significantly more likely to develop Parkinson's after 60, even if they l

Nicotine is wonderful. 2mg and 4mg lozenges are readily available, you don't have to take up smoking to get it. It's excellent for many, many things: cognition, focus, appetite control, positive habit formation, etc. Addiction is

Hallucination problem is easily solved by using it as a code/config template or starter, and actually vetting its output. It's still a huge time-saver, even with the vetting time involved. Cold War strategy. Trust but Verify.

Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont all share some other interesting commonalities you're not allowed to talk about. We argue about policy all the time, but policy is downstream of other things.

This is generally only true with CGO_ENABLED=0. I've found many times that a go binary, even if it has no cgo or cgo dependencies, will randomly require glibc on the target system to execute if you don't explicitly disable cgo in
