Spy chips could be just slightly different firmware for... any number of different things. It could be pretty stealthy, too.

Diversifying away from NASDAQ-tracking index as a component of my investments will be extremely tax costly. Maybe more costly than the gavage (as the NASDAQ/SpaceX folks seem to be betting). And most people won't even be informed

I don't think the online advertising field is tilted "wildly in Apple's favor". Yes, Apple squeaked out one area of advantage, eliminating some crushing abuse by others in the process. In a sane world, no one would have

This isn't about the average voter-- this is about an entrenched industry creating structural barriers to entry to protect growing monopoly power.

I really meant to say that there's no way to really know of any region of the CO2 vs. temperature graph if there's positive or negative feedback dominating. You're proposing it all runs away in one lump, and I'm sayin

The models don't consider these because there's considerable uncertainty as to the size of these effects and potential countervailing forces of similar magnitudes. The fact is, for all of these other secondary effects etc... we ju

If those customers end up profitable, it could be tempting for nVidia to vertically integrate. I don't think it's as easy as others say, though.

There's nothing to say that you can't build something intelligent out of them by bolting a memory on it, though. Sure, it's not how we work, but I can imagine a system where the LLM does a lot of heavy lifting and allows more

Proving policy controls are in place and that actions were taken is a fairly universal problem. Cryptography doesn't really do as much to improve it as one would think. Yes, providing evidence of sequence or that stuff happened before

There's no mathematically verifiable proof that anyone followed the rules. There's a cryptographic chain, but it just means "this piece of the stack, at some point, was convinced to process this and recorded that it did this

Why does whether the agent "commits" to a rule cryptographically matter? Surely it's just the enforcement, and maybe the measuring of sentinel events -- how far does it wander off course. How is cryptography an important part

It looks almost entirely envisioned and implemented by AI. An agent signing a covenant doesn't do anything. You're not going to enforce a contract against it, and there's not some kind of non-repudiation problem to solve. Enf

One reason we end up with excess capacity is process improvements; adding new fabs to get more density or performance doesn't make old fabs go away, and so we go through cycles of excess capacity. Demand has been relatively constant. H

This assumes all the energy is leaked when you open the door, and that the power is constant rather than ramping down. I'm guessing a -lot less- leaks than this. (And, of course, you don't absorb all of what leaks).

Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46980929 , posted days before your comment. In retrospect, I should have put "just" in quotes. I think that would have made intent more clear.
