The tricky bit with that is it would get a monopoly lawsuit from manufacturers with a lot more money to throw around quickly. The biggest problem in improving android security posture is getting manufacturers to have robust security and release updates without getting monopoly lawsuits.

It also doesn't help that mobile carriers can delay updates for months. Thanks T-Mobile.


It also doesn't help that "robust security" often is the problem in the first place.

People forget to ask the most important question: security for whom, and from what.


Last I checked the license for the headless toolchain requires that a full licensed copy of Visual Studio be installed somewhere. So I think this violates the license terms.

A bug got opened against the rustup installing the headless toolchain by itself at some point. I'll see if I can find it

edit: VSCode bug states this more clearly https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/95745


Is IBM invested big in LLMs? I don't get the impression they have much to lose there.

They said they're going to invest like $150B over five years. Which is quite a bit smaller than other big tech firms.

They have their Granite family of models, but they're small language models so surely significantly less resources are going into them.


This is typically solved by publishing reactions/corrections or in the case of news programs starting the next one with a retraction/correction. This happens in some academic journals and some news outlets. I've seen the PBS Newshour and the New York Times do this. I've also seen Ars Technica do this with some science articles (Not sure what the difference in this case is or if it will take some more time)

On their forum, an Ars Technica staff member said[1] that they took the article down until they could investigate what happened, which probably wouldn't be until after the weekend.

I'm not asking how you solve the problem of publications making mistakes, I'm asking how you know they're rewriting articles if there are no third-party records of article contents. You're talking about publications acting in good faith. I'm talking about publications using paywalls to make it easier to lie.

The article is primarily about how wild unrestrained AI spending is causing problems. For example it is hard to get an electrician, anything with memory in it is either significantly more expensive or unobtainable, and building of homes, factories, and hospitals is being depressed pushing down supply (Housing supply being potentially depressed by AI is both serious and alarming). The HN conversation about this article seems to instead be will Google, OpenAI, etc break even? The degree of disconnect in Silicon Valley between the tech industry and everyone else's problems is alarming.


These are the best kinds of problems to have, an economic recession would be far worse.

Get a warrant. The federal government should not be "soliciting vendors" for my location.

I love how the accounts defending ICE are always brand new.

What? Where's the bad faith? You made a really dumb argument and got a simple factual response. And you still failed to engage with that response instead making up imaginary persecution.


[flagged]


Why did you vanish? Tell me which moderator blocked you? Are you okay in the head? You are imagining hallucinations where you are being censored or persecuted by some imaginary entity.


No higher authority came in to block your speech. Your peers expressed disagreement with you. Where is the censorship?


Downvoting is not censorship. Nobody involved here is a mod or admin. I see you still haven't responded to the simple fact asserted in the original post though.


You had a chance to respond to the simple factual claims in this message and you still instead used your reply to hilariously claim down voting is censorship where there literally was no moderator involvement therefore literally nothing preventing you from responding. If you think downvoting is censorship why are you not on a website that doesn't have downvoting? You probably also think marriage between peoples of different countires is violent genocide given your hysterics in magnifying simple events into the dramatic and extreme.

German here, with little stakes in your shitshow. At no point during the obama years did I think:

"Wow this looks just like the rise of the nazis!"

Which was covered extensively during my history classes.

Why did you even have all the school schootings if you don't use that stupid second ammendmend thing you have? This is the tyranical government you've all been waiting for.


It seems like the first half of the 2nd ammendment isn't taught in schools, just the "I can has assault rifle" part.


You can really tell which states actually fund their education programs by who understands this and who does not.


It's a disease and it is spreading, fast.


Perhaps "what you thought then and now" is the difference between those times more than "what happened then and now". With the former being largely influenced by "what your bubble told you then and now".


“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”


We don’t have good data because it’s illegal to, for example, ask citizenship status on our census, but if you believe the numbers many democrats cite, Obama deported more immigrants than Trump. You can use Google to verify that though I’ll warn you the rabbit hole runs deep when it comes to official statistics. Importantly, under Trump we have far more violent felons to deport. The media thrives on salacious and emotionally charged stories rather unbiased reporting based on nuanced facts. It’s the entertainment industry.

The recent tragedies are indeed thoroughly depressing for all of us, but we shouldn’t let our emotional reactions destroy our ability to reason and think objectively about history and statistics. We can feel and think. Some of us believe enforcement of laws is the villain in this. Some feel the laws themselves or the idea of borders and sovereignty are to blame. Others that a surge of violent criminals such as those who killed Jocylan Nungary or Laken Riley is the cause of the recent tragedies. None of these views are inherently evil. All of these views have some merit. Truth is manifold. Don’t be narrow minded, we need broad thinking not simplistic pathos driven dogmas and references to nazis. Grow up.


The number of deportations under obama was definitely higher, but he had only one concentration camp (guantanamo bay), and didn't use that for his own people.

Learn about the tolerance paradoxon, there is no negotiating, nuance and reasoning with fashists.

Your enlightened centrism is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Get educated.


If you are German, then you are probably blind to the similarities between current German politics and the Nazis, so this is not a good point of comparison.


Which politics are you referring to? The AfD ("Alternative for Germany") who has been classified as a confirmed right-wing extremist organization by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution? And which has heavy ties to trump, musk, and the current U.S. government?

Just because we currently have our own right wing populist faschists rearing their heads again, doesn't mean that the parallels of the current events in the US and the rise of the Nazis aren't real and glaring to someone who has had this as part of their basic education curriculum.

All parties of the government support and pay for ethnic cleansing in the middle east.


What does that have to do with the situation in the US? The situation in the middle east is completely orthogonal to that, and observing the rise of faschism there says nothing about my stance on the current german foreign policy in regards to the middle east.

If you want to know: In my personal opinion that conflict is fucked beyond repair because a small group of powerful people on both sides benefit from it, while a huge number of deep interpersonal conflicts and histories fuel it, with any moderates getting squashed by their own side. So I wouldn't send weapons, but I'd send humanitarian aid or the blue helmets. That whole region is thoroughly fucked beyond my pay grade.


Yeeeaaaah, I dunno if you wanna go there while the US is investing $100B in state sponsored ethnic cleansing, terrorism, and concentration camps. Glass houses, stones, etc.


Germany invests less than that, but Germany is a smaller country. I'm not sure how much it is per capita.


But it's only Nazis if you disagree with them. After all, the whole point of drawing the comparison is to shut down any possibility for discussion and nuance - "people I don't like are just like the nazis so I don't need to treat those who who doesn't fully oppose them with any respect".


> After all, the whole point of drawing the comparison [to Nazis] is to shut down any possibility for discussion and nuance

Another way of phrasing this is that it's a call to stop assuming good faith discussion on the part of the boosters, stop being derailed by pondering nuance, and focus on putting the brakes on the new Nazi movement. History doesn't repeat but we're teetering on the edge of a large-scale horrific rhyme. Regardless of one's preferred policies regarding immigration, there is zero justification for where we're at.


Again, I have little stakes in your shitshow besides the international meddling they do with our own faschist party.

This dualist thinking seems to be a particular US thing, based on your two party system.

I see the erosion of the rule of law and decency in the US, the persecution of minorities, the populism, the defamation of journalism as "lügenpresse" and alignment of media to the party line, the personal police force (what the fuck is ICE doing in Italy), the person cult around a single madman, the violence without consequence, the fancy SS/SA style cosplay uniform by the head of ICE, and I think "that looks a lot like the stuff we learned about in school".


The ones who are exterminating a race are the nazis


Which race?


Palestinian

Any race or group can be genocidal. What's so special about Israelis?


Unfortunately the extend of what the average person seems to have learned from WW2 is jews = innocent victims, german/non-jew nationalism = evil.


To me all nationalism sucks, but yes my main point was genocidal extremism isn't really a unique property that jews or any other group are immune to.


The luddites won't need to sabotage a space based GPU. They can just wait for waste heat, radiation, or a good old solar storm to do it for them. The rest of the ground lauch infrastructure is fragile.


Ironically for gaming usage that electron slopware can get you VAC banned (I think you need to have used certain features not merely have it installed). I should probably find the OSS alternative that allows me to turn it off.

It's also getting to a point where I wind up paying a price premium for non capital g gamer hardware. Fortunately opaque cases are still a thing and can hide some of it.
