Not sure who are "they" and where are they "representing themselves" in your question? My point was that you can be protected as a user even without the "secure enclave": that's how GPG, SSH and HTTPS PKI

I did use "supposedly" in there. While media lobbies are strong, that's not how they are convincing governments to line up: it's about protecting the naive, non-techy user in this tech-heavy world. To me, that's wh

What did it take to port Linux to M1 series Macs (which at least has an unlocked bootloader)? How do I install GNU/Linux distribution on a latest Galaxy S25 or iPhone or Google Pixel or Apple Watch or... (these are likely top-selling g

While I, for the most part, agree to this in principle, at the moment, general compute hardware production is relatively safe (or so it seems). But when it comes to humongous costs, the fact that even "open source AI models" don&#

Locked devices are created to supposedly ensure the security of a device user, not because malicious users exist. SIM card is a good example. Technically, that's trivially solvable with a PKI infrastructure (a malicious user can't

In a sense, that is the solution: ensure availability through open standards (like the web platform) through legislation. My bank has stopped issuing physical TOTP tokens years ago, and I am holding on to one from 2006: when that one dies,

Only one paragraph was about the Middle East, where "Western" morality is on full display, mostly to show that there is no one true goodness anywhere. You seem to be using a definition of morality that's a lot narrower than w

It'd be great if you share concrete details: this type of machine on this type of connection, costing X. And what traffic and load does that see?

ZFS is a combination of actual file system like Ext4, LVM and MD (software raid) subsystems on Linux, with extra features on top which you unlock when these are a single system. Due to licensing, it can't be included in Linux kernel di

In terms of production, SSD flash chips that go into SATA and NVMe drives can be pretty much the same: only the external interface can be different. The biggest cost driver for flash chips is not the speed they can be read from and written

Not really, it mostly speaks to the fact that I've been indoctrinated through my upbringing, education and environment that this is the "true" enlightenment. Even for people on the "other" side, they ask the same q

Who are these adversaries you speak of? How have they attacked the US of A? As an example, for a long time, spiritual and scientific enlightement was the calling card of the Warszaw pact countries: they just couldn't figure out how to

But even with that, we can get to most code being produced by LLMs, but without an increase in productivity.

This sounds like a disingenuous "ask HN": you are supposedly questioning marketing claims by AI model producers by pointing out how their predictions have not happened. Everyone knows why that's the case: because claims wer

I would say that the fact people have had to self-censor when they held "conservative" views instead of engaging in public discourse without being villified is why they had to turn to someone like Trump when they were handing in t

I would hope that consumer protection organizations can help you with that without having to engage lawyers: similarly, Amazon is not interested in long running legal battles if they see you are serious.

This requires you either being very good at predicting your storage needs, your storage not growing over time (no growing photo collection?), and being aware how flash wear affects SSDs and how wear levelling works. If you fail at these, yo

It did not sound like that's the only preprocessing step, but even with that, how "costly" would that be for a model comparable to ChatGPT 4 or 5? Also, the comment was not related to LLMs only. Note that the goal is to get c

Heat is an issue with Macs too: if it wasn't, you'd have Air chassis with the performance of M4 Max/Ultra. Yes, they've done some nice things to get the performance and energy efficiency up, but it's not like they&#
