I don't see that in either article.

Here on HN, the submitter submitted a link to the NYPost article, but in the description they put a link to the NYTimes version and an archive.is capture of the NYTimes.

Yes, and I didn't see sources in either article in the second paragraph.

> I didn't see sources in either article in the second paragraph

Paragraph 2 from the New York Post article:

“The woman, Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is a Chinese citizen who has served as a top executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer and cloud partner that provides AI computing power to Chinese companies including Alibaba, the New York Times reported Thursday.”

There are no sources cited in that!

What the fuck do you think “the New York Times reported Thursday” means? It’s even a link!

That's not a source. The source would be whoever the New York Times talked to, which they actually don't cite:

> This account is based on interviews with people briefed on the surveillance, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the findings are drawn from classified intelligence, as well as other officials and industry executives and analysts.

It very literally is. A biography on Thomas Jefferson will list sources. It would be beyond nonsense to suggest the book has no sources because it didn't talk to a dead man.

> The source would be whoever the New York Times talked to

That would be their source. Someone complaining about the Post should know the difference.

I assume they meant the second paragraph of the HN link. On mobile the link description renders as a paragraph of text after the title.

No I meant TFA.
