The debate about reapproval of section 702 is all theater. Does anyone genuinely believe the government would stop surveilling us if the authorization expired?

More info please

Circles probably matter. I am actively in communication with several hundred people of all ages outside of tech. I have never heard anyone say anything except: (1) positive of Snowden, and (2) negative of the NSA.

Since our federal government's raison d'être is to benefit Israel at the expense of the US and the world, it's no surprise that Americans no longer trust it.

Hard to justify for $599/$699 when a new Pixel 10a is currently $424 on Amazon.

At this point I would take filled potholes.

> I am one of fifteen rank-and-file workers, and we are privileged to be led by thousands of Senior VPs.

This is simultaneously hilarious and painfully familiar.

This is a joke. If it's electronic the NSA can hack it with impunity, including your ISP. And that's assuming your ISP won't just give them whatever they ask for (unlikely).

> It took me less than 6 months from no knowledge to my first job.

I agreed with you up until this sentence. Entry-level devs with 6 months of require an enormous amount of time and mentoring until they're able to really perform well. I think the greater concern being expressed is not will people be able to type syntactically correct code?, it's will people be able to write software well?.

Along similar lines, a coworker told me about Caveman and it has made my Claude experience vastly better. I'm already a programmer, Claude shouldn't need to tell me like I'm 5.

How can you tell it's AI generated?

This doesn't account for the substantial difference between military deception and political (self-)deception.

The Midway water shortage deception was a way to gain a tactical, followed by strategic advantage.

Running out of missiles is an "incovenient truth" for the zionist pro-war crowd. History is littered with innumerable examples of political leaders not adequately considering ground-truth military and logistical realities (Confederates fighting in Pennsylvania, Germans invading Russia, etc.).

That's because you haven't thought it through. "We only want info on the bad people" might not alarm you personally until any government entity changes the definition of bad and now you're a "bad guy".

Digital property is property.

Auto GCAS (Ground Collision Avoidance System) exists (pre-AI), although it is nowhere near as sophisticated as what you described. Similar type of idea though.

If the pilot passes out during high-g maneuvers, the aircraft will pull up and bring the wings level until the pilot regains consciousness.

I know nothing about this topic but your comment piqued my curiosity. What would a $500 AMD GPU do better than DGX?

Also to reduce capital murder...

I've literally had my vehicle alarm and tell me to keep both hands on the steering wheel when I had both hands on for a long time. My biggest concern is where do false alarms take us in the not-too-distant future? Inept sensing -> you can't drive.

Not being mandatory and not having an effect are different claims.

> will still be able to intercept drones cheaply

But likely not at the scale required to make a real dent. This is the problem with the "this new weapon will win the Russia-Ukraine war" mantra we've heard so often (Javelin, HIMARS, F-16, etc). Lots of very capable weapons have entered the fight, but at limited scale compared to Russia's enormous manpower and manufacturing advantage.

IANAL, what are the practical implications of this? I assume the outcome is police would first need probable cause to suspect a specific person of a crime, and then get a warrant for that person's location. Am I wrong?

This is the problem in the discussion. Many on HN don't remember what it was like to buy a house in 2010, so they assume it hasn't gotten (far) worse. It has.

This wildly assumes that "I voted for $candidate" means "I like $candidate." Every presidential election cycle we get served up two turds, one with a (D) and the other with an (R) by their name, and we have to pick which turd we'd like to ruin our country for us the least.

> Starting price reportedly around $2,000.

I'll guess it won't be a Vision Pro level disaster, but most people will skip this device unless the price drops substantially.

What if we took Japan’s flag, imagined it printed on paper, but made the dot blue?

I greatly appreciate when a vendor is willing to run the test and publish unfavorable information, even if it's only in one benchmark category.

“cum” (rhymes with “broom”, rather than “dumb”) is Latin for “with”.

These days Conjure is the best way to write a lisp language in Neovim, in my opinion. It supports Clojure, Common Lisp, Fennel, etc. Not my project but I’m very thankful for those who contribute!

For what purpose? Murder? Arson? It's amazing how often people say things like "no one is above the law" whenever it's convenient, then totally flip the script when it's not.
