It'll probably be a few years before Hacker News is a safe space for ChatGPT victims.

It is atypical for issues that affect elite bottom lines to be subject to political gridlock.

The gridlock is simply the manifested reality that legislation is fully pay to play, but if you're paying that's not your problem.

Let's make thunderstorms illegal, they scare dogs too.

It seems to me like this whole Chinese lithography sanction deal is not really... working.

SMIC is generously 1-2 nodes behind Intel at this point and have only caught up since we've started utilizing sanctions?

Intel meanwhile has not had to compete in any other sense than process technology in decades.

They've been habitually humiliated by any competitor with access to any process no matter how dated for the simple fact that they're trying to compete not maximize monopoly extraction with that process.

They've abandoned numerous innovations simply because they weren't extractive enough compared to inferior alternatives.

I don't think any amount of tipping the scale with sanctions is going to save Intel from being savaged into a mist of blood and insolvency the moment a competitor enters the arena without a process technology disadvantage, and that much seems inevitable now.

It's simply not in their DNA to survive in that environment.

On the other hand, I suppose lobbying for sanctions and subsidies would be textbook Intel strategy.

The interesting implication of this particular interpretation to me is not that God has a PC but that everything running on God's PC has exactly the same PC (because it can also manipulate mass falling into a black hole).

I feel like the author doesn't really need to introduce the concept of black hole computation to draw an equivalence between simulation theory and interacting with reality to achieve an intended state, though.

In a sense any time you manipulate reality you are simulating a new reality in a computational subset of your prior reality, with similar implications whether or not any part of the computation falls into a black hole or involves digital logic.

I think at least some part of simulation theory must be true because it is trivially equivalent to having consequences in reality, and black hole computation as described would just be a limiting case where the mass-energy is potentially fully occupied by a single computation approaching infinite space and time complexity.

It should be pretty clear from the language what the intent is.

You need to pay their cronies the protection fee or something unfortunate might happen to your porn site.

With a side helping of pandering to the christofascist base, which laps up transparent corruption up as long as they flog the sinners a few times a session.

It is, quite simply, why I left North Carolina.

My understanding is that Amazon is not accounting for the royalties after they are returned from an author purchase and resold under terms other than the royalty free terms.

It's not that he wants to get paid for the unsold inventory, it's that he believes he doesn't get paid at all when they resell as new the used inventory he rejected and returned in quality control of his royalty free author purchase.

at least until the shadow IT crew starts bringing in their LiFi lamp shade routers

Is this even really news-worthy at this point?

Wake me when someone's doing something about it besides uneventfully retiring off the ill-gotten gains.

I imagine it's going to involve a pulverization or grinding step to increase surface area and availability of whatever has caloric value in the plant matter (the equivalent biological processes all seem to), but I'm sure with the appropriate process you could make a soylent bamboo paste or something yeah.

My understanding was that a US owner contracted aspects of the facility construction and neglected to pay the contractors, then sold the completed facility to the Chinese investors.

It sounds like the original owner's contractor is alleging that the Chinese investors are also not paying them for services at the mine, while the Chinese investors are claiming the contractor failed to deliver?

It's not really clear from the article who is even ripping who off to me.
