- Comment on The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. 6 hours ago:
It’s that, and also an invitation to bribery, and also a demand for surveillance backdoors.

Like most things, you are not as private and protected as you seem to think you are.
That doesn’t seem like a great argument for doing something that further reduces privacy and protection.

- Comment on AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming 4 days ago:
This article says that the AI-coded Rust rewrite of SQLite ran 2,000 times slower, but the linked source article says it ran more than 20,000 times slower. Muddling up 2,000 and 20,000 seems a bit sloppy for journalism about code performance.
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 5 days ago:
The pattern for me is usually two or three days of analyzing how something works, should work or doesn’t work, then 2 hours of writing the code to implement or fix it. Most of the work is not writing code, and that is definitely the easy bit that I least need help with.
- Comment on Americans Recognize AI as a Wealth Inequality Machine, Pollster Finds 6 days ago:
These are the people who are convinced that having more money proves you’re a superior person and therefore deserving of still more money. They’re the common clay who believe capitalism’s propaganda unquestioningly as the wisdom of their betters.

He’s at the Elon stage of feeling he needs to be more explicit about what an asshole he is. These guys seem to need recognition.

How do you know that they won’t open an account if you say yes? Do you know people who have had this experience, or did the banks tell you that they would not provide these services for Americans?

Funny, because it’s free everywhere else. Sounds like a bit of a shithole country.

- Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U 2 weeks ago:
It’s interesting that in the screenshot in the article, the CPU is identified as a Ryzen 5 7430U but then it gives the codename “Lucienne”, which is the 5500U’s name. So apparently they didn’t fake it perfectly.
- Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U 2 weeks ago:
They’re from different generations though. 5500U is Zen 2 while 7430U is Zen 3.
- Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U 2 weeks ago:
Can these processors use the same motherboard? It might be a big effort to make a custom one for review, more than just dropping in another part. And more costly too, if it meant redesigning other parts.
