children of US military born overseas

The debate about what natural-born means has often been confusing to me.

The USA does both, Jus Soli and Jus Sanguinis to determine citizen status at birth. But when it’s about eligibility for president, suddenly extra weight should be put on Jus Soli being the only real proper form of citizenship? That makes no sense to me.

I thought natural-born would mean citizen at birth, not immigrated and naturalized. To avoid situations where for example some English noble immigrates and naturalizes in name only, uses his wealth to gain political power, and then puts the US back under English influence. It makes sense to me that the founders of a new republic would want to avoid having it twisted by former masters.

Looks like that’s exactly what it was:

He was 18 at the time and 11 months older than the victim, according to the arrest affidavit. The girl turned 18 three weeks after the illicit video was shot on Feb. 1, 2024, authorities said.

Honestly the only action in this that I find a problem, is that someone put the video on Instagram. If an 18 and a 17 year old want to film themselves having sex for their own use, then that might not be a good idea because of the danger of leaks, or later retaliatory action from one party against the other, but making or possessing it also shouldn’t be a criminal offence.

From a societal perspective nothing good comes of making massive swaths of teens into criminals for consensual victimless crimes.

they would rather ⁠buy out employees who are members of ​the union than give them safe conditions

Buy out from where? What does that mean? Bribe them to stop being union members?

It’s funny in the first place to argue from what “they allow”. The customer doesn’t have to care about your internal policies, fucko. Fulfill your end of the bargain.

This nazi is still around? What the fuck. I thought his pillows at the 14.88 USD price point would have sealed the deal.

Here’s my old comment where I uploaded screenshots as those prices were live: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/22420855/13240856

And a second one where I looked through more of their price history: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/22420855/13240839

It’s the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16 GB. From the Ampere family, 3.5 years old. Small Tegra SoC.

I guess something like this is a typical dual use good, and doesn’t fall under the AI Chip export restriction either because it’s too weak. Seems like it would be trivial for Russians to import them from China or India or whomever really.

I was wondering what they were looking for for a moment there. This is far out.

Not just Nvidia.

For a start of who the shovel sellers might be, you can take a look at the list in his post that Torsten Slok used to calculate his margin numbers:

Note: Data as of 2Q 2026 and for OpenAI (1Q 2026 estimate from PitchBook) and Anthropic (2Q 2026 estimate from Financial Times). Averages are equal-weighted bucket averages of Energy & Grid (Constellation Energy, Vistra, NextEra Energy, Vertiv, Eaton, Arista Networks), Silicon & Equipment (Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Marvell, TSMC, SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, Micron), Compute & Cloud (Super Micro, Dell Technologies, Foxconn, Equinix, Digital Realty, Amazon/AWS, Microsoft/Azure, Alphabet/Google Cloud, CoreWeave, Nebius) and Models & Applications (OpenAI, Anthropic). Sources: Bloomberg, PitchBook, Apollo Chief Economist

In short according to his research the people currently making a profit or at least positive margins, are the people who build chips and memory, who build energy infrastructure, and who build servers and data canters.

I would like to see the distinction between Servers (Super Micro, Dell Technologies, Foxconn) and Datacenters (Equinix, Digital Realty, Amazon/AWS, Microsoft/Azure, Alphabet/Google Cloud, CoreWeave, Nebius) but he seems to have put them together.

Also I heard from our local news that ABB (which is Swiss, Edit: apparently also Swedish) is profiting too, they belong in the power category.

And I wonder why Arista goes in the Energy category, I’d see them and Cisco, and Juniper, and Extreme, and Nokia in a separate network category.

‘Profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers’

Which profits?

Ah, now I see the actual quote is: “[…] the AI boom’s profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers.” he means the profits of the shovel sellers, not AI profits.

Sure, I’m not saying Arm or Qualcomm are irrelevant in the gaming space, in fact I think Arm is going to replace X86 more and more, like we see it happening on servers too.

But FEX only runs on ARM64. And you wouldn’t put a platform with a 15 year old efficiency-focused CPU into the Steam Frame. So this Kuno platform is probably unrelated to gaming and comes from some other project instead.

Tyler Boebert is facing charges of:

• Sexual exploitation of a child - induce/entice
• Sexual exploitation of a child - possession with intent
• Sexual exploitation of a child - video
• Two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor

If this happened in the beginning of 2024, and Tyler was born March 21, 2005, he would have been 18¾. In the best case scenario he just had a girlfriend who wasn’t 18 yet and they made consensual videos.

I don’t think this is likely to be gaming related.
That’s a 15 year old efficiency trimmed 32bit ARMv7-A CPU.

Man those quotes from Chris Hays in the article hit hard.

I think I need to watch the video they are from tonight.

I don’t think it makes any sense either:

• Cooling will be large and expensive as hell
• Getting computers there will be expensive
• Getting solar cells there will be expensive
• The radiolink to earthbound networks will be expensive and slow

The only positive is that the energy will be cheap, and that the computers are safe except from nation state actors and untracked space debris.

I lean towards this being a narrative for the markets. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. claimed a 370 billion USD total addressable market (TAM) in space enabled solutions, and a 26.5 trillion USD TAM for AI in their S-1 filing before going public. They state within that their goal over time is to launch 100 gigawatts of compute to space each year.

By making the claim that this would be worthwhile they present themselves as uniquely positioned to profit from this situation. Moreso than other AI compute companies or other rocket launch companies.

By the way, regarding integration, I just learned from a colleague last week that he uses emacs for editing remote files too. You can just open a file as:

/method:user@host:filename, with method being ssh or ftp for example

Wow, thanks, I didn’t know that.

Before he was just mildly annoying and not something I wanted to watch.

Now he’s confirmed as an asshole, who must not be supported, from my perspective.

Deposit at a hotel? I haven’t seen that before.

Isn’t the very definition of a household chore that it’s a recurring task related to cleaning or preparing things at home?
