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.

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?

2. freaky

Seriously? Would you be okay with a "journalist" showing the whole world your sextape?
Re:DOGE Track on Friday February 20, 2026 @12:06PM (#47090678)
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.
Re:Framework Raises DDR5 Memory Prices by 50% for DIY Laptops on Friday December 12, 2025 @05:13PM (#46249637)
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.
Re:Framework Raises DDR5 Memory Prices by 50% for DIY Laptops on Friday December 12, 2025 @04:40PM (#46249322)
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.
Re:Framework Raises DDR5 Memory Prices by 50% for DIY Laptops on Friday December 12, 2025 @04:37PM (#46249286)
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.

I'm not sure what platform of Google Photos you were trying, but on the web and mobile app, you can drag to select sequential photos (i.e multi-select).

I assume that with whatever onboard audio model they use, it can only handle conversational type audio.
Re:Figure 03, our 3rd generation humanoid robot on Thursday October 09, 2025 @10:38AM (#45528331)
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.
Re:Figure 03, our 3rd generation humanoid robot on Thursday October 09, 2025 @10:33AM (#45528264)
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.
100% endorse croc, you can use croc in any GPU renting service (e.g Runpod).

Anything by my favorite Andy Pavlo is good in my book
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.
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.
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.
