The raid stunned many in South Korea because the country is a key U.S. ally. It agreed in July to purchase $100 billion in U.S. energy and make a $350 billion investment in the U.S. in return for the U.S lowering tariff rates.
This is why you don’t negotiate with terrorists/fascists.
They don’t need LLMs to scan everything. That’s been possible with machine learning for decades. You could argue that they now have the compute in reach to make real time processing feasible, but they’ve already had that to some degree for also probably decades.
It’s really that oligarchs and corporations around the world are using the collapse of the US to apply disaster capitalism everywhere, while everyone’s distracted. Surveillance capitalism is now a trillion dollar industry that is intrinsically embedded deep within western militaries, “intelligence” (secret police), governments, and industry. They realise the charade of democracy under a capitalist system is nearing an end, so they’re speed running to dictatorship. The ruling class won’t stop until they own your soul, and everyone is assimilated by the Big Brother™️ borg.
In the not too distant future…
NPC: “ChatGPT told me I got ghosts in my blood and I better inject bleach bout it”
AI Corpo: “thankfully, no human programmed it to respond with that, so we are not liable”
Fascist court: “NPC’s family must pay AI Corpo damages for negative publicity”
Checkmate, cause it’s real difficult to operate multiple accounts at the same time!

Yeah, storage/bandwidth is the overall limiting factor regardless for 8k. Also, most peoples xp with 4k is streaming, so there would likely be 100x more of a market for increasing bitrate from the current “compressed as all fuck” up to 4k Bluray bitrate, before anyone cares about 8k… but of course, that isn’t something that TV manufacturers can control or use to sell more products.
The real reason for lack of interest is streaming quality of 4k has been getting worse for years, and is still like 1/10th the quality of 4k BluRay, with enormous levels of compression and artifacts.
8k requires 4x the data. We all know that means every subscription would charge at least 2x more to maintain profit margins of unlimited growth for vulture capitalism, and they’d skimp on the extra data too; leaving users with nothing better than the current 4k.
The biggest issue is the surveillance capitalism, monopolization, and walled gardens/firmware that prevent linux mobile options from becoming a viable alternative.
Supporting Palestinians statehood, and right to exist, is all you need to be considered a left wing terrorist.

The comments on HN indicate the significant brain rot of the techno-fascist user base. So many commenters who don’t know anything about statistics, acting as though their anecdotal evidence has value, and casting doubt on medical science…
Countries are not run in their best interest. They are run in the best interest of their ultra wealthy.
Some bourgeoisie — whether they be kings and queens, or emperors, or pharaohs, or some quasi democracy ruled by a shadow oligarchy like a corporate dictatorship — stealing from, and murdering, the poor for profit is unfortunately all of human history.
The only difference is ever since we achieved “democracy” we’ve been under the illusion that the wealthy no longer controlled our governments, but the generational wealth never left the tens of thousands of families who got wealthy from historic crimes against humanity. War has made trillions over the last century fighting “communism” or “terrorism”, when most of the time they were simply denying entire countries their right to democracy, and the people who profited were the weapons manufacturers, mining and raw materials sectors, energy sectors (fossil fuels), etc of specific countries, with 90% of the profits flowing straight into the hands of those tens of thousands of families — the ultra wealthy — of most economies.
There is no war but class war, and it always has been.
“Inject bleach into your veins”
Fascism already won the USA. Whether or not the people take the power back is up to the people, or whom ever survives WW3.
Voting machines that are not open source, and do not print a paper ballot for public verification are the problem. They grant the capability to steal an election without an audit trail.
There’s a reason they were implemented, and their numerous proven vulnerabilities have never been fixed, and that reason was to steal elections. I’m not saying the election was “stolen” via direct election fraud, but there’s no way to know for sure.
And there’s a good chance that other life would be chemically or structurally similar, so without DNA evidence we’d confuse it’s fossils with others (see Prototaxites).
Also, maybe life does reoccur relatively frequently, but is killed by existing bacteria, viruses, bacteriophage… again, for being too chemically/structurally similar to the existing life.
TLS isn’t really related to E2EE. E2EE data can be delivered securely over http without any transport encryption, as long as the secrets/passwords/keys themselves never leave the client unencrypted (the data is encrypted by the client before transport).
A cloudflare hosted/protected site can still provide E2EE. You just have to trust that they aren’t going to conduct any sophisticated transport attacks to inject malicious code and surreptitiously obtain your secrets.
“Alas, every citizen must have microchips surgically inserted into their brains at birth, with all sensory perception backed up to government servers — for your protection — otherwise how do we know you’re not diddling kids while un-surveilled?”

Posts also linger for days. A decade ago the front page would be different every ~6 hours. Only extremely popular stuff would remain after 12-24 hours, and that was rare.
Reddit is dead, and capitalism killed it.
This was the intended outcome. Our politicians don’t work for us. They work for capital.
