ikeashark··on AI Will Never Be Conscious
I'm baffled the author doesn't even have a surface level understanding of how a computer works.

He instead seems to make up a mental image of how a neural network might work on a computer and uses that representation instead.

ikeashark··on The Gay Tech Mafia
What are you trying to say? That any and all invasion of privacy is okay as long as it is in the name journalism?

Would you then be okay with journalists publishing CSAM images & videos from the Epstein case?

1. You don't need to be famous, how do you think blackmail works on non-famous women?

Seriously? Would you be okay with a "journalist" showing the whole world your sextape?
ikeashark··on DOGE Track
I'm not both siding this, I heavily dislike DOGE and consequently the 45-47 presidency.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43624536#43625085

It calls DOGE workers "wreckers" and it lists all the staffers related with the DOGE project with a detailed description of how they're related and what they've done recently. They even have a page just for revealing anonymous staffers in court documents: https://dogetrack.info/people/aliases/

I agree DOGE is destructive but is it productive to reveal all the names and history of every staffer, contractor, lawyer, etc... related to the DOGE project?

The above is why I see it as "biased and emotionally charged".

This website very well could've gone without the extensive list of people related. Which is why I see this as more of a harassment list.

This websites seems incredibly biased and uses quite emotional language.
ikeashark··on Framework Raises DDR5 Memory Prices by 50% for DIY Laptops
The US Government, Saudis, consumer/private investors apparently or at least the one that can build the most economically useful AI. I myself believe Google is most likely.
ikeashark··on Framework Raises DDR5 Memory Prices by 50% for DIY Laptops
But OpenAI legitimately needs HBM. Amazon in this instance doesn't need food and is doing purely to create artificial scarcity. If OpenAI were to actually not use the HBM then it could mean something.
ikeashark··on Framework Raises DDR5 Memory Prices by 50% for DIY Laptops
I doubt this is to create artificial scarcity. Especially when OpenAI is the biggest player thought to be able to build AGI first and that it is now backed by the US & the Saudis.

ikeashark··on Figure 03, our 3rd generation humanoid robot
I assume that with whatever onboard audio model they use, it can only handle conversational type audio.
ikeashark··on Figure 03, our 3rd generation humanoid robot
I find it funny that they deliberately avoid having the figure robot actually touch water when "washing the dishes". I have to wonder why it doesn't use a rubber wrapping around the hands or some other waterproof solution.
ikeashark··on Figure 03, our 3rd generation humanoid robot
How does Figure 03 know if the washer is actually on? I know it has tactile sensors on its fingers but if it tried to press the button and missed how would it know? I know it's probably not by sound.

ikeashark··on Autism should not be seen as single condition with one cause, say scientists
This still aligns to what I said no? He himself is expressing doubt with his own reasoning why. Either way it doesn't matter as the assumption shouldn't be his former friend is autistic by default.
ikeashark··on Autism should not be seen as single condition with one cause, say scientists
I don't see the point in asking that question as his friend self-diagnosed himself as "autistic". Jsbi, I assume, is expressing doubt in the self-diagnosis rather than diagnosising his former friend.
ikeashark··on Intellect-2 Release: The First 32B Model Trained Through Globally Distributed RL
I wonder why they randomly noted a torch-compile vs non torch-compile figure where torch-compile degraded model performance. What made it degrade? It seems to only appear in one figure and nowhere else.

I'm still baffled how he sided with the Khmer Rouge when Vietnam invaded Cambodia and justifiability so, even after what they did during the Ba Chúc massacre.

ikeashark··on Tariffs on China set to rise to 104% on Wednesday
I've often seen the statistic where the US Government at point was almost entirely funded by tariffs (and that this was to justify removing the income tax), but this seems to be misleading as from what I remember, at that time the Government was also much less powerful and didn't have as much of an active role providing services to citizens so I doubt tariffs would be able to supplement what other plans the Trump admin has.

Any info on this?

ikeashark··on White House says 104% China tariffs take effect at midnight

ikeashark··on US to go ahead with imposition of 104% tariff China from Wednesday
This is way too harsh of a tariff, by doing this Trump isn't sending clear signals to manufacturers.

Trump's "schizophrenic" decisions to announce high tariffs only to whiplash manufacturers by announcing pauses or straight dropping tariffs makes it hard to justify setting up a plant in the US.

If given the choice of committing to building a plant to reduce costs because of the tariffs, or just cutting costs / employees, most will do that latter.

One cannot justify building a plant if halfway through building it, tariffs are dropped ( due to an admin change or something else). Because then you have a factory that costs you more money than just importing from China.
