I do wonder what percent of government actions meet this definition.

Because they suck at it, would by guess. And other countries are honed in on in other HN topics (even within this one), this is one of the few for the Russian SFSR/F.

Too bad they can't really remove entrenched information about their government systems, which are becoming easier to gain understanding of, often with official assistance. It is only going to increase despair in their country and witho

The W3C equivalent PDS efforts are in the LWS WG.[1][2] And of course other W3C standards like DIDs, VCs, and ActivityStreams/ActivityPub. W3C is still missing standards around data replication and a global indexing / feed layer.

What does majority US control of a US company have to do with US government "America First" policy? And I don't think de-prioritizing foreign investments is part of that policy.

I'd rather the system start managing models rather than each app doing their own thing. Whether that's engineering for and supporting KServe and inference snaps, an Ollama systemd service, or something else I don't care. But

I don't think either freemium or low-tier consumers will get cut off. You have to maintain dominance in the public mind, and use it to cut out competitors in an ever increasing product set. You can't compete with free.

Good. If they meet US and EU standards, and we can sue them into oblivion if something goes wrong, sure, slap the 100% tariff on them and import those suckers. The US plays fast and loose with consumer protections in general, but not cars.

Buses and train cars are a small part of infrastructure, regardless of whether it's the only part of infrastructure certain information ecosystems speak to. But sure. $30 billion per year over many decades for those parts, in one city,

New York City. Compared to small cities like London, Paris, or Rome there are areas where it's not on par, but its multimodal transport, energy, heating, water, sanitation systems is larger and more comprehensive than most cities in Eu

This is probably the lesser of evils, more likely than not. That said, I'm still using AI to write articles lol. I use AI to generate proposed edits, usually from provided references. That way it's less free form. I try and run th

The fact that many replies mention Matrix and the Politico article does not is hilarious. Why even bother with major news orgs anymore?

by esbranson 6mo ago
About the only thing I learned from your comment is that most replies as of now only refute half of it. And it's also besides the point.

Is the budget of Saudi Aramco, of the King, larger than that of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, also of the same King? Why would that be not good, or bad? Think about every international dollar the Kingdom takes from Aramco: would Aramco or th

The US refused to defend the Commerce Clause, so the circuit court did not consider it, though the Commerce Clause precedent would have likely demanded a different result. This is circuit split engineering by the administration, meant to al

The left right spectrum refers to representation in legislatures, a physical seating chart if you will, even in the US Electoral College. There is a reason to keep some people more physically separated, learned over time by civil institutio

This is about propaganda regimes, as much as about whataboutisms. Both sides paint the other as violent. Which is more believable. Sad as though the answer may be.

by esbranson 6mo ago
Indeed. Violence can be and is met with violence, and refusing to discern against them is a logical failure that needs correcting. Inevitably it comes down to process, and being a one-party state in control, the Democrats control the violen

Violence solves problems every day. Worse off is relative. I think you mean to qualify your statement.

Getting arrested after losing an election? Or getting arrested as an opposition candidate in an election which he later won?

No, this is not sad commentary on the modern world.

Yes, Russia can shut off its Internet and computers. Know that super useful AI model out of Russia? Its name slips my tongue. Imagine how much better it will get.
