As a non-American I would love if Americans started doing more impulsive footgun politics like breaking up their big tech companies. That will finally give European and non-Chinese Asian competitors a chance.

We Europeans need to wake up. Big tech companies in the US (and soon China) are practically robbing us at this point.

The neoliberal dogma that tariffs and trade barriers are bad is economical suicide for Europe.

>Modi, Sunak, Vivek

I bursted out laughing. Imagine comparing major world leaders with some right-wing techbro troll.

This is not an open and free CPU. It just implements the open and free RISC-V instruction set. Judging by the SiFive business model they will in the future inevitably add proprietary extensions.

At least TSMC is actually building something and recruiting in the US. Foxconn just pinky promised.

Why would a low-cost electronics contract manufacturer with factories in China and South East Asia suddenly make a factory in Wisconsin, USA?

The factory was never going to happen. It was all about political favors.

Hacker News represents some of the brightest minds in the US. If the climate change denial is so widespread here there is absolutely no hope for the US.

The rest of the world needs to be far more aggressive. Selectively sanction US states that elect climate change denying politicians.

>and generate other pollution along the way. Furthermore, we're digging our lithium brines from the environment, without really understanding what all this lithium will do once it's leached out into the environment or what impact the mines themselves will have.

Our CO2 emissions are warming the Earth and making it unliveable for billions of people in the global south.

The localized toxic pollution problems you mentioned are a secondary problem.

Real GPT-4 (that means excluding whatever Bing and Phind claims is GPT-4) doesn't hallucinate especially when it comes to STEM questions like OP.

Or maybe just use GPT-4 that doesn't make up this kind of garbage hallucinations.

I don't understand how people on HN keep conflating the two.

That is a very Western-centric timeline. No mention of Russia, China and Iran.

Is this GPT-3.5 or GPT-4?

I have not experienced GPT-4 hallucinate like this which is also why I think Bing Chat's claim about using GPT-4 is a blatant lie. Bing Chat hallucinates a lot.

Russian anti-war activists are probably the most surveilled people in the world.

>Russian antiwar activists placed their faith in Telegram, a supposedly secure messaging app. How does Putin’s regime seem to know their every move?

This seems in stark contrast with Ukrainian social media that is full of criticism of Ukrainian authorities from everything from their conscription practices to corruption.

Is Intel finally back on track? There were some rumors that Nvidia is considering to use Intel fabs.

Why should a nation state concern itself with helping some rich people at a festival who have been inconvenienced by a little rain and mud? They have 12 miles to the nearest town and 100 miles to the nearest big city. The festival literally has its own airport but it has been flooded. I suggest they call for helicopters. Many of them probably have their own.

There is also something about the Indian government subsidizing extremely ineffective outdated farming practices that waste a lot of water.

Soft power doesn't work when a single viral propaganda video on TikTok or Instagram can convince a 3rd world country that country X is to blame for all their problems.

Apparently Ventana has only one US office but two offices in India.

Is it some kind of Indian effort to create indigenous CPUs?

What exactly is The Hill? Their website seems like a normal news website but their YouTube channel is ideologically somewhere between Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones.

The US has 46 million people living in rural areas with little light pollution. Europe is more densely populated than the US and urban light pollution is probably the only type of pollution that is significantly worse here than in the US.

There are of course also hundreds of millions of people in the developing world living in rural areas but they likely have other life priorities than noticing lights in the sky.

My point is that whatever it is it is probably a global phenomenon but only Americans are both geographically and culturally inclined (Hollywood) to notice and report it.

Plenty of countries outsource their ccTLD management to the private sector. It's GoDaddy that is the problem.

Off-topic but I thought Elon Musk wanted to make X into a WeChat-like everything app where twitter would make up the social media part. Is he instead renaming twitter to X?

It's peak techbro delusion to think the rest of the population care that much about privacy.

I wish I was wrong.

It also found a a remarkable temperature gradient on the South Pole's surface. Even if the surface temperature is 60+ degree Celsius just 8 cm below the surface the temperature is -10 degree Celsius. (South Pole) Moon dust is a really good insulator.

Most of the large-scale botnet and ransomware activities are operating out of Russia. Not exactly a country that is going to collaborate with US law enforcement.

Thanks for posting. In the .Net world we had the whole Moq library drama recently. Now I check the social media of library creators before I use the library. I'm sorry but I cannot trust deranged people's code in production systems.

You replied to the wrong comment.

But you're right. I would say Hungary and eastern Germany (excluding Berlin) are more racist than Poland and Ukraine.

Where do you see "commmunists"? Did you check the link? The chat functionality is full of racist messages in Russian.

Considering how much knowledge and outside interaction is siloed in large organizations the specific individuals behind these specific actions should also be named and shamed. Don't let them hide behind limited liability by only naming and shaming the company.
