Well, it needs to be quoted quite subtly. If you try "I don't believe murder is wrong", your are in for a bad time.

Still better than the Ministry of Lies we currently have...

IIRC some of the claimed code at the time were C header files. Sure you can change the comments, but it's not like you can change a function name or its parameters in a public API...

What a weird ... hey, wait, I think I figured it out!

You're looking at it from the point of view of the bank robber, aren't you? (Instead of from the point of view of all the people who didn't rob the bank but still somehow had their locations leaked to the government.)

Did I guess right?

How to they evacuate the heat ? And with the size decrease, doesn't leak current increase, leading to more errors ? How did they solve that, particularly with a 10-fold jump ?

Yes, we can do things like that, so why can't we keep morons at bay ? We need (as a specie) a way to keep toxic people away from power and money and the possibility to ruin things for the rest of humanity. Pipe dream, I know.

I'm imagining devices going by a conveyor belt, and a worker with a wirecutter is making a brief snip on each of the devices as it travels by.

The boss walks up, and the snipper guy asks "Is it true? Is the customer canceling?"

The boss briefly nods but then shakes his head. "Yeah, they're canc--no, I mean they still want the devices. They just don't want the snipping anymore. They say go ahead and leave the warrant-detection-and-lookup circuit live."

"Good. I never really understood what I was doing here. They're still weren't required to check the sensor anyway, so why disable it?"

The boss explained, "so we could charge them for the snipping."

There's no way to interpret these costs, that nobody is ever going to be willing to pay, as a reminder that soon these companies are going to be bankrupt.

Every time I see an AI story like this, it makes me realize I really have no idea what the AI bubble hardware is actually like, and how it might be used after auction.

A few months from now you might find yourself at an auction where 4TB of faster-than-anything-you-have RAM might be for sale for $80, but of course it won't be in the usual DIMMs that any of your existing mobos can use, will it? What will it be, and how do we best exploit it?

Maybe, but honestly having people snort loudly next to you is fucking disgusting. Maybe *they* are the asshole ?

I use left as change things quickly, break things, tear down Chesterton 's Fence, taking big chances, and right as gradually careful change, thinking about why things exist before destroying them, and be averse to risk. Trump is left of FDR in that view.

As a manager she is quite direct in telling people hard truths... And often does.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a biker colleague who claimed that motorbikes *need* to make noise for their protection. I was like "so cycles should have a boat horn blowing constantly for their protection too ? And electric cars as well ?" He disagreed.

Republicans lost two presidential elections, 2008 & 2012, due to running conservative candidates. So they gave up and became a further-left party. Now Obama looks like a relative conservative .. but Clinton & Harris look conservative _too_.

Voters are insisting on left-wing presidents, with the exception of Biden because the initial leftist shock of Trump pt1 was too much to absorb.

Because many professionals don't work for those that try to sell you something. Most epidemiologists or virologues or others actually work for research centers or non-gov entities and have no money in the game. So yes, I'd trust a WHO epidemiologist any day over someone trying to sell me an "instant flu nasal spray vaccine" or similar; but if they say those work, why not...

Well, if the solution is vaccine-based, no because it *does* train the immune system, and often in better ways than virus exposition. But if the solution is air purifiers everywhere I'd be inclined to agree, the same way as kids growing up in perfectly clean room and never going outdoors often have allergies. On the other hand, having access to clean water may have made us more susceptible to catching the shits when going in third world countries, but I'd take our clean water system and sewers over those of India any day. Dying of dysentery is no fun. Neither is dying of Covid. So maybe I'll let professionals debate this one (and not investors).
