Another interesting thing is why my post was so heavily downvoted. Did I touch a taboo subject?

I tried to market something very small on Telegram and was surprised how fast my account got restricted.

Same as shorting the dollar: it will fall, but you don't know when

I wonder when they plan the return. You should enter a short position if you are sure it'll blow up

Piracy means that something was taken by force from someone. What was it that was taken that's no longer there?

A second passport is an increasingly common answer to these attacks

The chance to die from all causes at the age of 45 is 0.41% https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html

Combined with the suicide two months ago (with his prior warning "please don't believe that I committed suicide") this deserves an investigation, not a simple dismissal.

"Let's " is that an imperative now?

Because it's the second [1] Boeing whistleblower that died within 2 months. The chance to die from all causes at the age of 45 is 0.41% [2]. The first whistleblower died at 62. The chance to die from all causes is 1.6% at this age.

Google search thrived from the third party websites. RSS incentivized and enabled those third-party websites. By killing the reader and RSS, they helped consolidate the web into unsearchable walled gardens like Facebook. If those decision makers still work in Google, that's a reason for continuing Google's downfall.

The decision was probably based on two reasons:

1. They wanted users to discover content using their algorithm as opposed to manual subscriptions to RSS thus depriving users of content Discovery agency.

2. They wanted to promote Google

They work incredibly well for drawing nigh the end of dollar as the reserve currency, and nothing else. More and more countries are divesting of it, because it's used as a political weapon.

As a former heavy user of Google search, I hardly did any Google searches in the last 6 months. Copilot for the current / day to day stuff, and GPT4 + Claude combo for technical stuff.

Is this for no-account users, or for everyone, including paid users?

In the past, I thought that search engines censored content because of the advertiser's demands, but now that AI search switched to the paid model I think the censorship is purely ideological because these companies are based in San Francisco.

But well-known VPNs mostly keep IP logs - I know from experience; in my company the FBI found a DDoSer this way.

Most (but not all ) VPN providers keep logs and payment info that are subpoenable. You could use something like Mulvad with Lightning Network payments, but I am not sure that even that is fully anonymous.

The Witopia VPN that he used for IRC [1] is US based: https://www.personalvpn.com/contact-us/ and they don't mention neither LN payments nor not keeping logs.

Only meaningful competition does. For example, competition with Comac is not meaningful due to politics, but competition withing the country with Douglas and Lockheed was.

But they live in China. Eventually the trade war with China fails (unless there's a real war) and then Tesla is toast.

Does accelerometer-based location algorithm integrate the acceleration readings to get the phone displacement? Is it a part of the phone operating systems ?

That would be for a cure, but not for a recurrent therapy

My previous response was refuting your statement: "The CEO of Nvidia is a smart guy, he's pushing the hype train because his business is riding the wave"

I think you're viewing it from the programming bubble. He's not that vested in AI success for programming. Even if AI code generation completely failed, NVIDIA's business is still more than OK because LLMs have a lot of other uses, killing Google search for example. That's not a small niche.

Computer chess has been failing for 30 years, until it didn't. Try winning a Go or a chess game against the computer now. There easily might be another architectural find lateral to LLMs that will 10x the code generation quality.

For me, the words of NVIDIA CEO weigh more than MuratBuffalo blog, due to their respective track records. While AI may not replace hard-core cryptography or kernel coding, it will definitely replace a lot of Upwork that goes into say restaurant website creation.

There will be AI IDEs that will allow previewing the results of the prompts, before converting them into code

It also excludes a lot of people from entrepreneurial activity: if you are over 30 or have kids you better have health insurance, and thus work for a big corp instead of bootstrapping a small business. My SOs individual health ins policy went from $250/mo in 2014 to $1000/mo in 2023.

The current trends of centralization and control involve restrictions on freedom of movement, making personal cars one of the pressure points. In socialist countries, ordinary citizens take the bus. Rest assured, Macron et al. will continue zooming through Paris boulevards in their armored SUV cavalcade.

"Shares of The Boeing Co. fell less than 1%."

They are too big to fail. So they will fail together with the entire state.

4 domestic aircraft manufacturers of the 1960s (Lockheed, Douglas, Convair, Boeing) is now one.
