That could be how human intelligence stacks, search retrieval (LLM) with learned approaches to processing that info (harness). Maybe you are insulated from the average person. The frontier models easily surpass their intellectual ability to absorb new information and apply it to novel situations.
The average person will also hallucinate things and make all sorts of causality mistakes without realizing it AND refuse evidence of such whereas models tend to acquiesce to evidence. A model with the right harness will outperform any of these people at their current desk jobs. To me that is general intelligence. Most of us on HN tend to far surpass this general intelligence and likely experience a false consensus or assumed similarity bias.
Adding `fly.io` to my permanent "never use" list. If they're not going to lawyer up when it comes to the 4th amendment, I will never use this service.
It's so reassuring to know that all a cloud provider needs to compromise its users trust is an official looking letterhead.
Definitely 0% chance they could ever be phished by a foreign (or domestic) power with enough email (or letter) know-how.
At least other big tech companies were forced to kneel with secret (unconstitutional) FISA orders. Both Apple and Google at least try to show that they're pushing back.
EG: google shifted location data to local device only to combat Geo fencing warrants
> Honestly Opus 5.5 had gotten good enough I've been considering a project to have it build a new browser based on the open source Chrome and keeps the v2 in place. Just customize it specifically for my preferences and call it done. No more unexpected breaking updates. Just a browser that does its job and nothing else.
That might be the right tradeoff for some organizations (e.g. you can access to wider talent pool by having hybrid teams), but it is also within the prerogative of an org to bet otherwise.
I just bought mysefl a '.casa' domain, got wildcard cert for it from lets encrypt and haven't bothered with any of these. Downside, if internet goes down resolver stops, but thats why I have local NS mirror and all DNS queries go through my resolver.
Another downside is that some devices these days use their own encrypted DNS resolver and fall back to local DNS only for non-public TLDs. Not sure if that will continue working then as expected if your internet connection goes down.
I've been bitten by this with my home router which uses .fritz.box when somebody registered fritz.box.
You can buy a cheap domain to make sure no one else uses it and just roll it on your lan. Throw some DNS ACME challenges and you have valid certificates too.
I do it for the LE certificate. But "cheap" is subjective. Domain registration and management should not be as expensive as it is. Nothing the registrar or registry does could be worth $8/10/200 a year with guaranteed 5-10% price increases every year. It is a grift.
They make sense given the history of the Internet, but not in hindsight. Most obviously, .gov, .edu and .mil should be under the .us TLD, but obviously the inventor's prerogative applies.
It's arguably defensible to have a limited number of non-geographic TLDs. "Dot com" was an aesthetic as much as a technical decision. I wonder though, if .com/net/org had never existed, we would have a different sense of aesthetic around domain names, and there's no reason to think that it would be any better or worse than what we have now.
Yes, I really don't want to read about American politics when discussing operating systems and technology. It's already shoehorned into so many discussions that it no longer makes any sense.
A blog post talking about security but refusing to mention which operating was vulnerable to an exploit out of virtue signaling(?) is absurdist comedy.
If the author is referring to Omarchy, should we also stop using and mentioning Ruby on Rails? Preposterous.
I agree with your main point, and found it stupid that I had to search around to find what the hell was even being talked about directly. That said, the accusation of racism is about a Dane attending far-right British rallies, British anti-immigration protests, and saying things about deporting the populations of Muslims and Romani from Britain, Copenhagen, and Denmark. It doesn't make much sense to call the DHH racism issue "American politics".
