Honestly, the scale of AI makes a lot more sense to me than the scale of DeFi or even the scale of some database systems. AI is simple - you have a unit of hardware that can perform a desirable form of computation. Scaling it up is a matter

Believe it or not, the DOJ (and EU) have almost entirely ignored AdSense and it's integration as a monopoly force. They consider Chrome and Google Search to be the primary source of harms - the war against adblock is perfectly legal ev

The answer is simple. Antitrust makes rich people scared - spending money on politics now saves your bacon later.

To be fair, if you pay Apple's prices for RAM upgrades then your computer better come with every bell and whistle in the book. The fact that Apple gets away with compute shaders instead of full-fat OpenCL compliance is a bit of a testa

You would want to use quite literally anything except Apple-manufactured hardware for this purpose. Just don't even waste your life-minutes on that kind of thing.

What you're missing is that this isn't a relative position. Nobody in this thread (or much of anywhere on HN) is defending Europe or America's misdoings with the same rhetoric. The reason is that people are willing to accept

Throughout this thread you have refused to address the actual topic and (since the root comment) deflected any criticism of Israel (however well-founded) because you feel like it's not fair relative to other countries. You might want

Flip that statement on it's head. What respectable nation would fire upon a suspect in a press jacket without actually knowing who it is first? Who orders artillery and airstrikes on known press positions? Soviet doctrine? Countries

If China wanted to spy on your iPhone, they would have just installed an extra chip in it at the factory. If you don't daily-drive in lockdown mode, then I wouldn't bother using it in Taiwan either.

NSO Group is unique in that they are entirely sheltered from (largely due) criticism by their government, creating an unaccountable and injust basis of relations between the United States and Israel that many readers are concerned by. There

United States citizens have gotten used to senile white guys making stupid statements as the head of their country. It's embarrassing, but quite natural for most of us at this point.

If Apple wanted to leave the European Union, their boat left months ago when they were forced to pay their back taxes in Ireland. Now that they're paid up on their dues, it would probably cost Apple more money than it's worth to l

False dichotomy. I trust neither - if Apple doesn't trust Meta to handle their APIs then I don't trust Apple to use them either.
