Uh if the US military cannot identify birds, balloons, light, and more importantly missiles after thorough cross-agency review, I think you're not seeing the forest for the trees.

I do wonder what percent of government actions meet this definition.

Because they suck at it, would by guess. And other countries are honed in on in other HN topics (even within this one), this is one of the few for the Russian SFSR/F.

Too bad they can't really remove entrenched information about their government systems, which are becoming easier to gain understanding of, often with official assistance. It is only going to increase despair in their country and without as knowledge of its formal descriptions get more detached from knowledge of actual federal subject governance, with no democratic outlets for change. Though I'm sure in the central okrug, and even in the Pecherskyi raion, they don't realize this.

The W3C equivalent PDS efforts are in the LWS WG.[1][2] And of course other W3C standards like DIDs, VCs, and ActivityStreams/ActivityPub. W3C is still missing standards around data replication and a global indexing / feed layer.

What does majority US control of a US company have to do with US government "America First" policy?

And I don't think de-prioritizing foreign investments is part of that policy.

I'd rather the system start managing models rather than each app doing their own thing. Whether that's engineering for and supporting KServe and inference snaps, an Ollama systemd service, or something else I don't care. But it's time to get serious about system tooling around AI.

I don't think either freemium or low-tier consumers will get cut off. You have to maintain dominance in the public mind, and use it to cut out competitors in an ever increasing product set. You can't compete with free.

Good. If they meet US and EU standards, and we can sue them into oblivion if something goes wrong, sure, slap the 100% tariff on them and import those suckers. The US plays fast and loose with consumer protections in general, but not cars.

Where are Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu on this?

Buses and train cars are a small part of infrastructure, regardless of whether it's the only part of infrastructure certain information ecosystems speak to. But sure. $30 billion per year over many decades for those parts, in one city, provides pretty extensive systems that don't even make sense in smaller cities.

> I bet per capita buses and train cars are dwarfed by even cities well below the tiers

And I will find even smaller US cities with even better metrics.

New York City. Compared to small cities like London, Paris, or Rome there are areas where it's not on par, but its multimodal transport, energy, heating, water, sanitation systems is larger and more comprehensive than most cities in Europe.

Murderers who are declared insane by a court aren't even involuntary committed for lengthy periods of time.

This is probably the lesser of evils, more likely than not. That said, I'm still using AI to write articles lol.

I use AI to generate proposed edits, usually from provided references. That way it's less free form. I try and run them through two or three models, since I have found they're best when critiquing material from other models. References themselves are often uncovered by AI, or at least AI-backed Google Books. I also use AI to fact check material from other editors.

The fact that many replies mention Matrix and the Politico article does not is hilarious. Why even bother with major news orgs anymore?

About the only thing I learned from your comment is that most replies as of now only refute half of it. And it's also besides the point.

But also besides the point.

Is the budget of Saudi Aramco, of the King, larger than that of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, also of the same King? Why would that be not good, or bad?

Think about every international dollar the Kingdom takes from Aramco: would Aramco or the Kingdom make more profit from it, including taxes on the percent more Aramco makes from it than the Kingdom?

> infrastructure to live an enjoyable life is there

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but living in the US ain't exactly like Escape from New York or Escape from LA. For every Mississippi there is an analogous place in Europe, and for every Liechtenstein there is an analogous place in the US. I'm not sure if your comment is a counterargument or neutral commentary.

The US refused to defend the Commerce Clause, so the circuit court did not consider it, though the Commerce Clause precedent would have likely demanded a different result.

This is circuit split engineering by the administration, meant to allow the Supreme Court to overrule its precedent on the Commerce Clause or whatever.

The left right spectrum refers to representation in legislatures, a physical seating chart if you will, even in the US Electoral College. There is a reason to keep some people more physically separated, learned over time by civil institutions. These organizations, that exist in a left-right spectrum context, are the rulers, decisively in republics. Independently and regardless of where the electors or anyone else are. There is always a left-right spectrum even if not party-based.

The times they are a-changin'.

Yet the difference remains, as does its decisiveness.

This is about propaganda regimes, as much as about whataboutisms. Both sides paint the other as violent. Which is more believable. Sad as though the answer may be.

Indeed. Violence can be and is met with violence, and refusing to discern against them is a logical failure that needs correcting. Inevitably it comes down to process, and being a one-party state in control, the Democrats control the violence. Arguably on both sides.

Violence solves problems every day. Worse off is relative. I think you mean to qualify your statement.

Getting arrested after losing an election? Or getting arrested as an opposition candidate in an election which he later won?

No, this is not sad commentary on the modern world.

Yes, Russia can shut off its Internet and computers. Know that super useful AI model out of Russia? Its name slips my tongue. Imagine how much better it will get.
