It's a commercialized and well-distributed example. You could replace it with any other machined commodity - engine blocks, turbojets, ablative shielding, toilet seats, you name it. The industries have all moved in the same direction a

Posts like this make me so sad. There are dozens of open-source and excellent MP3 players on Android but people apparently can't have the same on iOS because Apple refuses to accept sideloading. What an absolutely abominable state of p

I quite dislike the hysterical rhetoric too. That being said, I get why people ascribe it to Donald Trump. I will never forget turning on the TV on Janurary 6th to see the President of the United States inciting a riot on government propert

That ship sailed. It's like the other comment said - China embraces manufacturing to make other countries inept at it. It's not only that American precision engineering is mostly at parity with China, it's that manufacturin

TikTok also has an enormous shadowbanning problem so your complaint here is moot.

If China had America by the balls half as bad as Israel does, we'd be watching Biden and Trump take turns kissing Xi Jinping's feet on live television right now. It's besides the point and doesn't contribute to better fo

You seem to be unable to reconcile that China can use a platform with some positive aspects for ill. I abhor Israel's actions and the role of their extremist sects in rejecting international oversight. But I also abhor China for using

This isn't blanket censorship, period. Every single user that currently voices their stance, values or opinions can continue to do the exact same thing on any other platform they choose. Just not TikTok, because they are a business own

> then we should immediately stop acting as if we are more “free” or democratic than China. This is a histrionic response. America can still be more free and democratic than China while also enforcing a ban on their businesses.

The fact that Apple even considered "closing" a general purpose standard like NFC is a testament to how much they are willing to drag their feet on any innovative customer-facing features. You'd think that it was common sense

Hacker News should prohibit all political submissions. There will never be just or righteous political discussion if the same people that deny the existence of a genocide in Gaza turn around to protest a genocide in the Donbas. It pains me

The writing has been on the wall for over a decade, at this point. The only companies that "risk it" with China are the ones that rely on borderline (or in some cases, literal) slave labor to maintain their margins. If you don&#x2

Humans are fully capable of protracted, triple-checked scrutiny if the incentives align just right. Given the same conditions, you cannot ever compel an AI to stop being wrong or consistently communicate what it doesn't understand.

I like how AI generated ads tacitly confirm that advertisement was never about exposure and introducing people to new things. No, it's about automating deception on a grand scale and awarding the people that can most effectively contro

No, it won't. Python is a scripting language that is more composable than Go or Rust and can even be optimized for inference just as well, at least in theory. LLM inference doesn't necessitate a strong type system which actually g
