Crypto anonymity is still possible if you don't plan to spend your ill-gotten millions or billions particularly quickly. But, of course, you don't get to having a massive active criminal empire that way.

The V100 is ~8 years old and AFAIK mostly not that common anymore, but the A100 is ~5.5 years old now and is still very commonly used, it's maybe the most common HPC cluster GPU. On the consumer side, 3090s are still very popular, repr

I had considered adding how HN's darling's CEO, Tim, was also doing his part to support the American gestapo but figured that'd just be whataboutism (I think Zuckerberg gets hated on relatively similarly to Musk). I just don&

As you say, it's just difficult to tell, the tile loss seems less dramatic than many used to expect back when the heat shield was relatively early in design, but ultimately only SpaceX knows how much they're passively losing durin

I have no idea what criminal wrongdoing you're referring to, and as for the other point, it's just so overdone at this point. Every time SpaceX is mentioned, you guys feel the need to shit up the discussion with your cynicism and

By putting his wealth into a vision, I mean all the test flights, being much more tolerant of failure, betting everything on Starlink. We're at flight 13, and likely at least flight 16 before anything orbital, likely into the upper 20s

I think the tile loss rate will still be important to them before that. Even in such low orbits, any tiles lost would take some time to come down (and might even survive all the way down). If they can make it so they only lose tiles when in

I would love such a society, but I think the way space funding has been in most parts of the world shows that most people are just not good judges of what is and is not worth spending on. It seems very few people actually understand the imp

I think it depends on which specific step fails. The farther into flight it happens, the narrower the area over which the debris is spread. But, I think being over the entire ocean is unlikely, since the trajectory intersects with the plane

Not every mention of Musk needs to be accompanied by a disclaimer of not supporting his idiotic self-defeating politics. This isn't reddit. Speaking of politics though, it was a bit jarring to see the "USA! USA!" chanting. I

He deserves at least some credit, considering that he and Bezos are the only billionaires actually willing to put their wealth into chasing a vision. Books documenting SpaceX's early days make it pretty clear that Musk had a pretty sig

I think they're holding off on going fully orbital until the Ship engines are relatively stable (they try out different things with them almost every flight, and V3 has a significantly improved engine design too), tile losses are relat

With containers, making backups seemed to become impractical with large libraries, since it seems to copy files individually? I had to switch to VM because of that, passing through the GPU.

People are used to thinking that humans were animalistic savages right up until their favored religion or ancient city-state popped up, believing that the hunter-gatherer existence would've been so harsh that there was no room to care

Taking the example of egyptian archeology, if you're reading the work of someone who is well regarded as an expert in the field, you can trust their word a lot more than you can trust the word of an AI, even if the AI is provided the t

You've done nothing but reuse the Sam Altman/Elon Musk playbook of making wild and extremely vague statements. Maybe say something concrete? What's a positive real world impact of LLMs where they aren't hideously expensi

I'm hoping that it's sarcasm to be invoking a machine god while calling the non-believers irrational.

It looks like they're planning on funding it through circular purchase agreements and looting the rest of the world.

Reminds me of crypto/Web-3.0 hype. Lots of bluster about changing economic systems, offering people freedom and wealth, only to mostly be scams, and coming with too serious inherent drawbacks/costs to solve many of the big problem

I imagine you'd add more heuristics and various types of hashes? If the file is just sitting there, rarely accessed and unshared, or if the file only triggers on 2/10 hashes, it's probably a false alarm. If the file is on a p

It seems to just be Marcus' usual clickbaity style. It's just about the test flight on Monday, which is supposed to be the last one for Block 2. After that they'll be on to Block 3 with significantly improved engines (they sh

By that logic we should invoke the death penalty for everyone who has been sentenced to life in prison and has exhausted all their appeals, or any seniors convicted of a crime. Their life probably won't improve anymore, and in the latt

Inheritance, and for the government/insurance companies, there's the incentive of the one-time cost of euthanization being lower than the cost of care for the poor, disabled and/or the terminally ill.

Being braindead is pretty different from having Alzheimers. How do we account for people who change their minds? Do we just forcibly murder them anyway?

The entire issue they're pointing to is that deciding that someone's existence is sufficiently tormented is difficult and morally fraught.

Plex, as a business, is already in a tough spot because it's mostly used to stream pirated media, and if they make too many overt moves towards making piracy easier, media companies might start going after them. Thus all the stuff to h
