Which accursed language? Didn’t you just write that you can’t read them in the originals?

Uzbek food is very popular with all people from the former USSR. So there will be a lot more demand than just Uzbek-Americans.

The capital backing it would profit. Your scenario is a real doom loop of runaway capital building up without any corresponding returns to human labour.

See Thomas Picketty and his “Capital in the 21st Century”.

The US already has a legal concept of personhood for companies. We are soon going to lose control to these “people” and businesses overrunning the economy, the internet and our culture.

Meta is going to have higher ads revenue than Google this year.

My kid’s elementary school in Seattle starts at 7:50 AM

Nor do they have to. Inference from different users is batched together.

Because a nanny in Seattle charges $30/hr.

Do you think Shanghai has better career opportunities?

In Polish ch and h would be read the same (kinda like the English h sound).

Civilian telecoms are absolutely used in military UAVs. Ukraine and Russia both use their opponents SIM cards in long range strike drones. And I’m pretty sure that attack vector would work well anywhere, including the US.

In China there are. But of course the hardware and supplier integration is much easier for them than for American competitors.

Why is Singapore even in an English language competition? It's the dominant language there.

The Soviet and now post-soviet "tushenka" is 100% derived from American WW2 spam. But I think it actually tastes better, try some if you have an Eastern European store around.

Albanian is not a Slavic language at all.

> Ultimately what you're implicitly suggesting is to surrender to the aggressor, but that's not going to happen. Even if the West stops support, Kyiv is conquered, there will be guerilla war for years to come.

That's what everyone thought at the beginning of this war. Unfortunately, I think the lack of a massive guerilla movement in the occupied territories disproves this theory. Russian brutality and torture is very effective at fighting guerilla movements.

The Russian invasion needs to be beaten back on the field! Please, vote for candidates that support Ukraine.

If you're from Canada your best bet is to get an engineering degree and to land a job with a startup. Look into the TN Visa for Canadians. There are no limits on application numbers and they're very easy to get (if you have a qualifying degree).

Since you mention Western animation and Netflix. Have you seen Blue Eyed Samurai?

Amazing show and it has a beautiful style that looks like it's hand drawn and Japanese, but it's actually French made CGI. I suspect that even this industry can be disrupted by technology.

Let's see. One is a brutal, colonial invasion with the intent of totally replacing the local population. And the other is Israel responding to the rape and murder of hundreds of their civilians.

AI heavy lifting isn't just model training. There's about a million data pipelines and processes before the training data gets loaded into a PyTorch tensor.

The worst case is all of China being in the same time zone. It's quite crazy. China has about the same land area as the US.

The companies do track that data internally. It would be nice if the DMV mandated it's release to the public. But of course this type of data is a counterfactual, so much more subjective.

Their current track is not demographically suicidal?

Seems that the NSO business model is based on ultra exclusivity and a very small number of business clients. Technically, Pegasus could probably retransmit itself to infect another device, but it doesn't fit their business model so I doubt NSO would do this regularly.

It was "you wouldn't steal a car". People on the internet rightly corrected it to "download".

That's a great way of looking at it in theory. But in practice how would we even know if we're looking at a cat-level AGI? For a human level AGI it's obvious, we would question and evaluate it.

Is there a reasonable way of distinguishing narrow-AI ChatGPT from a hypothetical cat-level AGI? We can't even measure the intelligence level of real world cats.

So Starbucks? Should they be sharing all their revenue with whoever invented all those Italian coffee drinks?

Nothing too impressive yet, but it's an exciting step where they're taking the existing knowledge from LLMs and vision models and putting it into an embodied robot.

So what? The OS is totally locked down. There's nothing to actually do with all that extra compute. Are iPhone games better than Android games? Probably, but I imagine most of the HN crowd isn't into mobile games. Other than that I can't even think of what the better iPhone SOCs would be used for.

Noun gender is really a non issue. It's something native anglophones complain about when learning other languages. ESL people are more likely to complain about just how many verb tenses English has.
