Flock has solved crimes in my state, including a few horrendous violent crimes. We forget US society was configured (imperfectly) to allow families to raise their children in stability and safety, with guardrails around both sides of libert

Why would you remove oil? And, Canada is emphatically NOT a internal economy. First, it imports most of its cars, industrial machinery and hardware. Second, its experiencing an FDI flood due to M&A activity that has key business being a

Please have a look at the actual flow of trade between CAD and USA, and its components. The impact is nothing like what you suggest for the US. Canada can bend the knee to Trump, or it must gut its policies on natural resources and become a

False. I'm in the trenches on the cross-border trade and issue in general every weekday. Investment, industrial production and migration of CAD businesses to the US is rapidly growing. Nothing Canada can do will reverse this, though se

Actually its the opposite. The pain of "giving in" is limited to specific Canadian industries and powerful stakeholders with a LOT of political influence. In the broadest terms, Canada's economy grows rapidly if they give in.

Latest concern amongst US attorneys using AI: Information shared with remote may may lose attorney-client privilege.

Simply false. Surveillance networks are commonplace throughout history. Classic examples include Renaissance Italian networks in Europe, Egyptian networks operating in the Levant, Nazi networks in Europe and the UK, and so many more. Did th

Adding this comment: 1) We DO actually need to detect crime if we are going to fight it. Sticking our heads in the dirt and strapping a sign to our rear end saying "no surveillance" may feel good, but it does nothing for the victi

Yes, purchasing power of USD declines with inflation. No, that doesn't mean over a long enough time horizon what most people think it means. USD has declined significantly since 2017 ( https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series&

I can't bring myself to use any model that trains or sends telemetry back to my country's primary competitor/adversary. I don't care how much money is saved.

The archeological and geological records strongly suggest we've been down this road before. There's as much arrogance in assuming we can prevent this, as there is in assuming we caused it (perhaps hastened it). Best use of nationa

Exactly. - Many cannot accept its dangerous world. - Many don't understand that stewardship of nuclear weapons alone is a major undertaking that Iran cannot be trusted to manage. US & USSR alone has several near-miss detonations&#x

We increased export revenue by about $9b per month and may have changed the global energy supply chain to our benefit for decades.

by howmayiannoyyou 5mo ago
Perspective: - $9b per month increase in US oil export revenue as a result offsets probably 40% of the cost. - Several trillion (with a 'T") of realized and yet to be realized FDI commitments from gulf states more than offsets cos

More fawning over Chinese models without any mention of data privacy, or how this AI may someday be used to undermine US national or economic security. HN is hopelessly compromised by anti-American sentiment.

Not just engineering. Errors, delays and limits piling up for me across API and OAuth use. Just now: Unable to start session. The authentication server returned an error (500). You can try again.

Apple: $60b in cash. The revenue from AI is growing at a much slower rate than recurring capex and depreciation is accumulating. This will create distress opportunities that cash-rich companies like APPL may seize. Might be a private equity

AI processing hardware deprecates (and depreciates) at a much faster rate than conventional CPUs, as much as 50% per year. Consider the billions being dumped into compute at that rate of depreciation and explain to me: 1. How will tangible
