The post suggests that you need an rtx 5090 use it, which is currently selling for around $5,000 USD. I wouldn't exactly call that "my device", since my device costs about 25% of t…

pawn e2e8 checkmate Very cool this can be done in such a small amount of memory.

Oh wow, they actually provided the full torrent. I was always hoping they would so it could be studied. For those unfamiliar, 2B2T was a Minecraft anarchy server that had almost no…

A lot of people run production, non-AI servers out of New York data centers. This will be a serious problem for a lot of people, including smaller companies, when they can't expand…

> We run background checks on people who want to buy a gun, but we do not background check everyone at all times just in case. And the other thing is, you can use a gun to murder p…

Turning the entire thing into a doomed panopticon to "own the Zuck" is not going to end the way they think it will. Farewell to freedom on the Internet and the days of wild abandon…

I had a used 2016 VW Golf and it was a lemon. It would have an average of one serious problem a month. I finally gave up being a professional car maintainer and dumped it, taking a…

I'll agree with you that I'm far more worried about the how than the why, exponentially more worried. I'm just not sure if "this time it's different". There was abundant decisive p…

When considering how to think about these restrictions, I turn to my 15 year old self back in the 90s and ask him "would you want the government to block you from using IRC, forums…

Are the personal attacks really necessary to make your argument?

As someone that was in Minneapolis during the ICE raids, including one where a US citizen at a nearby restaurant was thrown in prison for 3 days despite having his passport on hand…

Your beautiful straw man is negated by the fact that Anthropic seems quite eager to get back on the DoD gravy train https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/blacklist...

Considering their apparent nerfing of the end user plans in favor of enterprise clients, is Anthropic still the "more ethical AI company" like everybody loves to tell me all the ti…

It's not different and it should also be done on a federal level, instead of 50 different governments passing random crazy internet laws. When you have to do compliance for hundred…

Is there an index fund that intentionally only focuses on actually profitable companies? It would actually be nice to hedge some funds into non speculative assets.

Apparently he/she gets equivocated as a porn star by authoritarians on hacker news arguing against their own self interest.

"telling" is a really curious euphemism for forcing volunteer Debian developers at gun point or they'll get thrown in jail. People in recent history seem to have forgotten that thi…

Having the government burrow into your Linux install like North Korea is totally fine as long as the people doing it are competent and not corrupt!

They're not going to get rid of them, they're just going to drive them underground, which will make them impossible to regulate, which will make using them less safe. I don't parti…

I agree with you, please don't read any of this. Not wanting a government controlling online content (with police with guns!) on a false pretense that "Instagram is cigarettes" is …

You're mad at me for being flippant about depression while you're being flippant about social media, pot calling the kettle black. I'm not the one that started flattening every bad…
