Conspiracy theorists are also the ones who are most likely to read HN constantly, and will get to new posts first. Once it gets bumped up enough, the regular people see it, and as you can see, the conspiracy theories have been properly deal

You're not missing anything. I think this is a person trying to speak their opinion into fact by quoting themselves.

It's more accurate to say "code was only the worst bottleneck in a multi-bottleneck system". The second-worst bottleneck has been promoted to first. And it might be only marginally better.

Apparently a chain of bugs leads to this. This is an internal debugging feature for VIA, but some motherboards accidentally left it enabled.

Calling it a "backdoor" is subjective, because it looks enough like an unintentional exploitable bug that one could make that argument. Is an accidental backdoor still a backdoor? That's pure semantics.

Legal departments are ironically very much like LLMs. They are trained on a narrow set of data and don't really understand the real world. If you let them run wild with no supervision they'll turn your company into slop. Someone n

Hey looks good. If you productize it and get subscribers that'll be awesome.

This post makes two mistakes. The first is an XKCD 605 (Extrapolating). The author makes bold predictions for the future as though they're inevitable, but gives zero evidence, because there is none, we're still at T=0. IBM is stil

Customers expect more, so they'll pay more. It really isn't more complicated than that.

Yeah rulings like this often come across as a slap on the wrist, but consider that most banks will fight you over a $36 overdraft fee, and fast food restaurants will fire people who steal a cheeseburger, so imagine the corporate alarm bells

The "not hiring juniors" thing started before agentic LLMs were a thing, but it was close enough that it's easy to mistake it for causation. The fact that people retroactively attribute this explanation to an industry trend j

Not OP but I have an opinion. That's an interesting historical fact, and one that we've locked ourselves out of. I looked into stripping Linux down to the bare minimum, and it's extremely difficult to untangle the codebase. T

Seems like a much better idea would be to build it yourself first, then have the AI do it for real? If you don't understand what you're building, you're going to get a lot of surprises when you re-type the AI-generated code a

Thank you, I'm upvoting you, because people need to realize that there's no discussing this issue. We probably need to return to state's rights and ask everyone to move to their preferred state based on if they're crypto

The flock discourse is slowly climbing the ladder to real discussion. We're at the "mostly intelligent people who are casually interested in the topic being confidently wrong about it" phase (and I know I'm going to get

The downvoted comments here are very interesting, and it really shows a divide in beliefs here. I fear that there's no reconciling this, and in the end we'll need two internets: The EUternet and the USternet.

That's a good middle position, but it's still not without drawbacks. The PC ecosystem has always been about Microsoft providing the OS, and a bevy of name brand vendors providing the hardware. Put Microsoft in an adversarial relat

The difference is you can remove the LG adware without any serious downsides. Removing auto-installing drivers would have serious downsides for the average person (meaning not cyberspace experts on forums such as this).

Which LLM? When was this code written? When was the last time you saw "garbled output" and what was the context? I'm really trying to get to the bottom of these claims, because I see them a lot and it's so wildly differe
