I think the GWh unit is misleading. 20.2 GWh is a 5MW power plant supplying power for 1 hour.

Richard Stallman has been talking about this since the 80s. One of the most famous and relevant examples of this is "The Right to Read"[0], from 1997.

Because money has no value, if you don't give it one. If you make infinite money, it's worth 0. Same with the 100 companies - OpenAI and Anthropic are worth something, only if there's someone to buy the tokens. If any of them successfully proves that having a company is worthless, many companies fail, and then there's no one to buy the tokens.

You are forgetting something very important. Microsoft has a much better track record of data policies being correctly enforced. Neither OpenAi or Anthropic have that.

It's not about the model or who gets the bribe, like a few folks in this thread imply, it's simply the guarantees that Microsoft is able to give to a public institution about what happens to their data.

We don't do politics here on HN, but I wouldn't touch a needle made by one of the companies of this douchebag. I'm talking here as a consumer who might end up on the wrong side of this guy's political ambitions.

The quest for staying relevant.

How is this different from you not knowing what you are doing and adding products to your online store's DB for negative dollars? It's not, it's just easier.

Does that mean that Void will drop the Linux part? Linus very publicly announced they welcome AI submissions.

Seems like a very dumb hill to die on in 2026

You're a banking app. Why do you need to check my phone or my os? The security is not in what phone I use, but in how sane your 2-factor auth is and if even exists.

Right ... While we do that, let's also retype the assembly code the compiler produces, do the linking manually and check you got the same result as the linker, and then finally write the bytes yourself. Whether or not you manually bit-bang à la Morse code the bits to storage is left as an exercise to the reader.

His name indicates a troll.

It's even funnier because an attack, until proven otherwise, should make you assume the data has already left the environment.

We had that almost 80 years ago for a few decades, but we shot a guy at the end of it. I hope the next one to suggest something like this remembers the history and refrains from it.

It did help the West, and especially the UK, to get as immigrants very high good plumbers and handy men. The rest of us went into STEM and are now working for FAANGS.

It's funny the page recommends de-Googled phones, but requires a Google service(reCaptcha) to view the page.

I think EU is warming up to the possibility that relying on US tech is has strategic consequences.

Unfortunately it is a bit more complicated than that. All these phones run firmware, bootloaders, libraries under license from SoC providers, who package components from other vendors under a license themselves. Opening up the bootloader can be done, but two things have to happen: either the phone is crippled of various functionalities or the manufacturer is in breach of license because all the binary blobs become open and can be reverse engineered. No one wants to go through all of this for a few hundred people who are interested in running their home assistant on an exotic device.

When cores start needing more than 9 bits to be represented and RAM is in terabytes, many of the old assumptions need to change. Schedulers need to be implemented in userspace, RAM needs to be allocated in GB, not in 4k, io needs to require less round-trips between kernel and user space and NICs need to do a lot more work before the data reaches the CPU.

If we are successful building an "ultra" human AI, it will require massive amounts of energy. That translates directly to "money". There will always be money unless someone finds a way to negate the second law of thermodynamics.

The dependency tree for anything in the software world is so large, that liability like you describe is not feasible. Tomorrow Anthropic's latest model will find a RCE in SYNs being sent to a server? Who is "liable" when you lose your Google account, your bank account, access to your car and all ways to prove to the government you are who you are all at the same time?

Others have already replied this is not exactly the case and it's trafficking weed and other drugs that gets you hanged.

That being said, I'm not so chill about weed. Weed people, like smokers before them, don't consider weed to be a big problem for the people around them and ignore anything you might have against it. That means you'll be laughed at when you ask neighbors to stop smoking two floors below you, to stop growing the plants in their tub, etc. It also means you'll have to go through a lot of places that smell like shit because people smoke weed there often.

Statistically, I would look at deaths from that age group among space flight science and compare this "blip" to the p50. I don't think it's easy to say if 11 deaths/disappearances over 4 years is high or not, without looking at the problem this way.

乒乓. I don't know how it could be more clear that it's not "table tennis".

I'm so happy that EU and UK have laws against this kind of thing and so I will still be able to work somewhere in the future(TBD what future means, though).

Local AI is almost impossible right now with the prices of RAM and GPUs and the sizes of decent models. No way spending even an optimistic 10k, but more likely 20k, on a setup that is good for 5-6 months makes any financial sense.

While everything said here is true, I find that in JavaScript world depending on a package that was last changed 8 years ago, complete as it may be, is asking for trouble. For your case, I couldn't find the link to the package the account was changing, so I can't tell how big of a risk keeping the previous dependency is.

Meta will always need the next platform. Instagram, Facebook phone, Whatsapp, Reels, Marketplace, Portal, VR, AI... Some succed, some fail. When you are an Ads company, the surface where ads are delivered to is important. I don't think it's a fundamentally different business model from Google's. VR addresses an interesting and increasing niche of people that refuse human contact and prefer the online world - for those people clothes, going out, buying a car, spending money on whatever the current society spends money on might not be so interesting, instead a parallel, virtual world, might be.

As for Claude and OpenAI, no one has a revenue net positive business model yet. They are much better than Meta's Llamas, but the model quality doesn't equal cash in the bank. Things might still change in the end. More players are better for me as a consumer.

Because unless you can fund several teams - kernel, firmware(bios,etc), GPU drivers, qemu, KVM, extra hardening(eg. qemu runs under something like bpfilter) + a red team, security through obscurity is cheaper. The attack surface area is just too large.

Agentic workloads create and then run code. You don't want to just run that code in a "normal" environment like a container, or even a very well protected VM. There are other options, ofc - eg. gvisor, crossvm, firecracker, etc, but this one is uncommon enough to have a small number of attackers trying to hack it.

Everyone thinks this bubble will continue until AGI(bulls) or until someone calls them on it(bears). I think it will continue until someone finds a quick way to make cheap energy(bullish) or until we can't build more power plants to support AI growth(bearish).

While nothing fancy has happened yet in the area of cheap energy, there is still enough power around the world to build AI data centers. The problem is this power exits in countries that the West has decided, many times for good reasons, they don't want to deal with their leaders.

I'm predicting that over 2027, either the US will become more aggressive in making war with these countries or company CEOs will start developing "reality-distorsion-fields" around them and decide having enough power for the next datacenter is more for the good of humanity. Before that Europe will decide that AI training on human faces(eg. of non-Europeans) is not really a problem and will allow US companies to train their models in EU countries.

While this is true, improvements in the TLS issuance process should also improve security. When the eventual deprecation of TLS-ALPN-01 and DNS-01 comes, this new method would be completely secure.

Here, the record could for example contain a signature from the same key pair used to authenticate the account. The alternative is DNSSEC, but that's avoided by a lot of domains.
