I see we're doing the "put Sam Altman in jail already" thing again, so y'all may be interested in some comments from law professor Orin Kerr on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49882566

MS required the NPU to run local language models and the models are used for various AI features like live captions.

This guy should have invented file permissions.

Obviously this research was done before 6.0 Sol and Opus 5.5 came out. Your point stands that the frontier moves quickly and small gains can be eclipsed quickly.

A bunch of countries are suspected of undercounting their population because so many people are living "off the grid" or deliberately overcounting to get more funding. Probably some of the cases are real and some are just conspiracy theories.

In most cases LVT would be the same or lower than current property taxes. Only empty lots would pay more.

A possible compromise is to allow Apple Pay to be a monopoly as long as it doesn't charge any fees.

Claude loves snitching though.

The people abusing Flock are police officers.

Humans seem like the weakest link in surveillance to me. Recent Flock data confirms this.

They seem to not be counting the $1B of GPUs on either side, making the difference pretty small. They also think launching 200 racks of equipment into space will cost $5M.

A dozen billionaires already left California.

My understanding is that LVT would be lower than current property taxes, so it should be viewed as a tax cut for landlords not an increase.

The hacks probably fall under negligence not CFAA but the larger point stands that companies are always responsible for everything they do.

The flip side of this is that fixing the sandboxes should only delay the Singularity by a month or so.

On this topic I'd believe HN before the New Yorker.

It's called USB4 now.

KVM works this time. For the rest you need to calibrate your expectations against mainstream laptops not RMStops.

Ubuntu was curated by Mark Shuttleworth for years. GNOME OS and KDE Linux are also fairly curated. It's not clear that DHH's curation of Omarchy actually created a better distro.

Is it more work to support a completely proprietary boot path or three different "standard" boot paths?

Ironically that's being fixed by Microsoft forcing UEFI.

Putting politics aside, Omarchy contains a ton of bad technical decisions. I also question the non-discoverable UX but I realize that's subjective.

Starshield includes cameras and other sensors that are not present on normal Starlink satellites.

Bulldozer was twice the die size of Intel 4C/8T but with lower performance.

It allows the CPU to access all GPU VRAM. This improves gaming performance, especially for AMD GPUs.

Yet every UEFI server has VGA and remote KVM.

The alternative isn't driving to the DC; it's remote serial console through a console server or the BMC.

Path dependence again. x86 servers in the 1990s had to have VGA so it was never removed. (Except Oxide.)

Costs increased after it was already under construction so sunk costs kicked in. MSR was still in the planning stages when it was canceled.
