I'm curious if someone has started cataloging these cases. These spying TVs seem like a common industry practice.

Almost all of this was written by an LLM. No human writes like this.

They can do what they want. That "should" doesn't belong here.

The expectation is of course that that will not be required. Competent models will become smaller and the compute to run them will become cheaper, once the market stabilizes. That will take some time of course.

Sound critique. I'll add that the Artificial Analysis intelligence index is not considered a good metric for intelligence anymore. Most of the benchmarks that it comprises are saturated or considered low signal today.

Nice claudish! It's crazy how obviously human made this comment is, despite the superficial similarities to Claude. It truly has a distinct style.

Interesting! My impression was that this was an artifact of RLVR where this slightly preferred writing style got amplified to the nth degree. It's probably some mix.

Docker containers use Linux kernel features to create an isolated environment, running on the same machine as docker is. This creates a virtual machine, with its own kernel, and runs the container in there. This gives stronger isolation and security guarantees.

That can only be true if the workload is compute bound, not memory bandwidth bound.

Iceland has mostly been governed by the center right conservative independence party, which has been quick to sell land and resources to anyone interested. Kárahnjúkar is the canonical example of this, a huge hydro plant powering aluminium smelters owned by a foreign company.

Right now, different parties have the majority rule, and their interest in projects like these are not clear. I would suspect that a motivated investor could fairly easily get them built. The hurdles would be logistics and connectivity much more than red tape.

Iceland is culturally and politically scandinavian with some influence from the US. In august there will be a vote to start accession talks with the EU. This has been a heavily contested issue for years, largely due to Iceland's unique resources.

Is there anything of value in this project?

It sounds interesting at a glance, but it seems to be AI slop. So it's hard to tell if there are any interesting discoveries there, or just some worthless results described with performatively advanced language.

Have you tried Qwen 3.6 or Gemma 4? They're not frontier level but certainly have their uses.

Note that your monitor is a QD-OLED, not a QLED monitor.

Despite the similar names, these are two very different technologies. QD-OLED is a OLED panel that uses QD (quantum dots) to achieve a wide color gamut. QLED is a LED backlit LCD panel that uses QD in a similar way.

The difference in performance characteristics of these two panel types is dominated by the difference between OLED and LCD.

That HN agent review is pretty usable. Very cool!

It is unbelievable that this is a controversial opinion.
