It's really tiring seeing the HN enlightened conservatives talking as if there is a coherent policy here. Withdrawing military support for Ukraine alone might be reasonable, I disagree with it but I can see the sense in it. But Trump i

It would be understandable to step back from Ukraine. There's a reasonable argument to be made there. I disagree, but I can understand the position. It's not understandable to support Russia and say things like Ukraine started the

Using undocumented features is not rare. People reverse engineered Apple's undocumented AMX instructions on their CPU, and I know people use undocumented/private extensions for several different kinds of GPUs.

How do you see what is going on now as a class issue? There is no clear class division between Trump's supporters and opposition. If anything it's the opposite of what you seem to be thinking. Trying to frame it in those terms is

(Not OP) I liked his willingness to invest so much in exciting, lofty goals (Tesla, SpaceX). Twitter wrecked his mind. I'm not talking about buying it, I'm talking about being such a heavy user of it.

I think the "normal person of 20 years ago" opinion on this is that he was rightfully acquitted, but it's weird for him to be getting hired by Andreesen Horowitz.

A court saying something doesn't obligate everyone to agree that is the way it should be. That basic concept, applied to several other issues, explains most of what is happening now. - Martin v. Boise. This was overturned, but for 6 ye

There were comments like that on HN, assuring us all that Trump has serious people figuring out a rational plan for tariffs.

The parent's market share claim is for desktop OSes, where Android is irrelevant. It's still far easier to not install chrome than it is to install it: downloading a thing, running the downloaded thing, click through all the dia

Is the model architecture actually that different from anything else? Or are you just saying that you can get away with smaller models now?

There are obviously degrees of support. Sure, China could support Russia more than they are now, but they'd be risking their ability to trade with Europe and the US, so they don't.

I really doubt there was any intention behind it at all. I bet deepseek themselves are surprised at the impact this is having, and probably regret releasing so much information into the open.

Funny, everything I see (not actively looking for DeepSeek related content) is absolutely raving about it and talking about it destroying OpenAI (random YouTube thumbnails, most comments in this thread, even CNBC headlines). If DeepSeek&#x2

It doesn't matter who you "commission" to do the actual work, most of the additional cost is in legal battles over rights of way and environmental impacts and other things that are independent of the construction work.

You're lumping "not sure" in with "oppose the ban". You could just as easily lump "not sure" with "support the ban" and conclude that not banning it is deeply unpopular. Here's the actual

The dramatic messaging was entirely the point. India probably did not have an easily exploitable target for such a message, so there was no point in trying that there.

This is simply false, at least in the US. A small majority favor banning it. It's not huge, but it's not a "deeply unpopular idea".
