Sure. But that's not the words they used.

That's why the comment said "outside Microsoft".

But keep in mind Google got hacked by the Chinese in 2009 or so.

55 years of a standard, but then you come and say that the standard should be something else.

That's… not what "standard" means.

It's 2026, why would anyone want to use an Intel architecture?

Or ARM? It's from the 1980s! So old!

> I do not care that 40 years ago someone used Ctrl + C to send SIGINT, it is 2026 now.

Not "40 years ago". Non-stop all day every day for 55 years.

The fact that you personally don't use it today is as irrelevant as if you were ranting about "why doesn't Linux have a Start menu!? It's 2026!!!"

> a certificate of no-permit needed

Amusing. It sounds like it's a permit to not need a permit.

Okay. So the idea is to keep helping to overthrow democracy hoping that you'll get a chance to leak something?

And yes, working for META means doing your part to overthrow democracy. It's company strategy to do so, and like it or not, working for META means you are "just following orders" in this enterprise.

I couldn't live like that for long.

But what about the woman? Sure, she was fired for it, but surely it has to also be illegal?

And while federal crimes are legal now, couldn't it be against state law too?

Well, we can try tying it to ground truth. AI does the math for magnetic field containment? Test it. AI predicts a particle? Test it. AI says P=NP? Ok, factor this in polynomial time.

And if it fails, and AI goes, "I don't know what happened. I relied on these papers" then I guess one of those must be wrong.

I'm not saying it'd be easy, but I think AI can also find the pieces of the puzzle that broke a pyramid of "discoveries" culminating in a disproval,

And the only other option is to simply never understand as much. AI has the potential to understand things humans cannot. Not necessarily a strict superset.

Humans can deal in 5+-2 things at once. AI doesn't have to, and can cut through leaky abstractions.

If AI says a new invention will do X, and it doesn't, it'll say "you're absolutely right" and try again until it does the thing.

I mean... doomsday scenarios aside.

And again, repeating what I said before that you ignored: Say you downvote my comment. That's free speech. Say you falsely report my comment as violating HN policies, hoping that it'll be taken down, or falsely report me to the police for my comment: That is the opposite of free speech.

This is not exactly rocket surgery.

> I'm not going to respond any further.

Yes, as you have painted yourself into an obvious corner of exposing your obvious bad faith, that is probably for the best.

It's almost as if the cryptocurrency industry is just amateur LARP…

I'm less sure that this is a thought through strategy by an evil mastermind, rather than just survivor bias of a combination that yes, unfortunately does work.

But you're right. I should have stayed with actual corruption and country destroying policies such as selling out Pix. There's plenty of that.

Maybe that he says he'll pardon his father, who had a documented[1] plan to murder the winner of the last election, and others.

And yet people vote for these crime families.

[1] for those who don't know: yes, they did write down their plans to overthrow the government and kill political opponents, and partially implemented said plan.

Well, I envy that. It's more depressing than in the US. Trump does "she's a nasty woman!", whereas Bolsonaro senior's level is "I would never rape you because you don’t deserve it". The son is not better. And yet they have supporters.

You do know Bolsonaro jr is in the lead and will likely win the second (aka final) round, right?

We're literally in the middle of the election Bolsonaro is winning.
