If the Chinese look like a beacon of hope you then you really should be looking closer.

Distillation is objectively easier than training a model from scratch, that's why all these Chinese labs are doing it.

A crackdown would probably be an FBI responsibility, the NSA is not a law enforcement agency and absolutely does not have the authority.

It has a pessimistic title and just like redditors most HN voters don't read the articles they vote on.

I think the author is just totally ignorant, there's a whole community of security companies and researchers who are scanning every single package as it's released and have been do…

Any one of thousands of policy options that aren't "just ban it".

There are two issues with nanny statism, the first is poorly informed kneejerk overreactions, the second is immediately jumping to heavyhanded policies. In your example even the ab…

It's none of their business whether or not others choose to use ECC. It's absolutely his business whether or not authorities force them to use ECC RAM or else.

This is one of the most pro-china forums out there, what are you talking about

When you are used to thinking of citizens as children who need a nanny, all problems become bedtime shaped.

If you don't want the US to have your date of birth, photo, fingerprints, etc then don't go to the US. It's that easy.

I think it's a pattern that reinforces itself, as a nanny state develops it's opinion of it's people worsens and it's more willing to use force to compel them.

If you expect that level of incompetence from your elected officials than maybe the problem isn't the US.

It's to validate that the fingerprints of the person arriving are the same as the fingerprints of the person who got the passport.

It's just for people crossing the border, and yeah it's mostly fingerprints. The point is mainly to detect fraudulent passports, and the rest of the data is self explanatory (the U…

What a stupid, hysterical claim. This "sensitive data" is just what's on your passport, fingerprints, criminal history, and terrorism flags (from European agencies), only for peopl…

Cool in principle, but I had an awful lot of trouble finding 7 letter words on the wordlist.

Every entertainment medium has some level of prestige associated with it mostly based on how old it is, which is the primary reason book reading is venerated. As for the democracy …

In my experience this complete lack of reproducibility is what happens when you throw LLMs at a complicate problem without sufficient shaping, workflows, etc. Go ahead, let LLMs in…

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operatin…

So that's what I assumed too but it turns out that's not true, at least in Canada. The Flight Stop example was cited as an example of an artist asserting their moral rights to thei…

If editing an article opens you up to copyright lawsuits for "destroying their work", it's completely untenable.

That's pretty crazy, seems like a ticking time bomb to me. I assume the precise meaning of "moral rights" varies by jurisdiction, but if from the integrity part of the Canadian def…

A "marketplace of ideas" wikipedia is not wikipedia, that's twitter or maybe reddit. More importantly, your theory of copyright being unwaivable without an employee-employer relati…
