That's not helpful without context and substance.

> China will have the robot-operated factories, not the US. What do you anticipate the US will do to obtain goods from those Chinese factories?

Why not let the market take care of it? It's cheaper to buy things from China then make them yourself. When that changes, production will naturally move to the next best place. I don't see the issue.

No reasonable person interprets the original comment as someone not knowing about the existence of a LAN, hence snark.

> I'm kinda surprised you've managed to be on HN for 5 years and never come across the concept of a "LAN" or "VPN" before

Unnecessary snark.

Do you have a source that iOS Lockdown Mode protects against Cellebrite? Because Cellebrite boasts they can extract data from latest iOS versions and does not even mention Lockdown Mode as an obstacle in their documentation: https://stacker.news/items/617666

Meanwhile, Cellebrite is unabe to extract data from newer Pixel phones with GrapheneOS: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/14344-cellebrite-premium-ju...

I can't tell if you're intentionally misrepresenting what I said. I said we can tell with certainty "how likely or unlikely" something is, i.e. we can precisely calculate the probability.

Right but we have the tools to rule that out. That's what the field of statistics deals with. It tells you with mathematical certainty how likely or unlikely the correlation you're observing is to be random.

That's what I did. It came up with smart-sounding but infeasible recommendations because it took all sources it found online at face value without considering who authored them for what reason. And it lacked a massive amount of background knowledge to evaluate the claims made in the sources. It took outlandish, utopian demands by some activists in my field and sold them to me as things that might plausibly be implemented in the near future.

Real research needs several more levels of depth of contextual knowledge than the model is currently doing for any prompt. There is so much background information that people working in my field know. The model would have to first spend a ton of time taking in everything there is to know about the field and several related fields and then correlate the sources it found for the specific prompt with all of that.

At the current stage, this is not deep research but research that is remarkably shallow.

I'm getting about 1 minute responses, did you turn on the Deep Research option below the prompt?

That's what the author deals with in the first part of the article on observational studies. Randomized studies don't have that problem.

If you believe that Microsoft is stealing Recall data behind its users' backs do you also believe Microsoft is stealing any or all of the files stored on Windows devices belonging to billions of personal and business users? If Microsoft isn't doing that could it be because that would be suicidal from a business perspective?

Let's hope the photosensor processing software on the receiving end doesn't have any bugs that could be exploited.

It's not a diagram or mock-up, it's a direct representation of the real thing for computer simulations, similar to CAD. The dimensions and shape of the components are accurate. And the author is calling it a logo because the picture is used to represent and advertise the software.

I wish JUST ONE PERSON in the comments would read the gosh darn article.

"Let me throw shade on this open source project that does incredibly ambitious thing X and that tons of people are devoting lots of time to, by suggesting they should instead do this other esoteric thing Y that 99% of users don't care about but that I, the entitled power user, think they should be doing instead."
