Yes, it will definitely not be the 1% that eliminate poverty, but when a majority decides to do so.

Optimus will finally make it possible for us (the 1%) to eliminate poverty for 2 reasons: First because we don’t need the poor anymore for manual labor, and second because with Optimus we can automate their extermination.

Although in-car computing is not the highest end of chips, because these are not for learning, but for execution of what was learned by way higher end server systems.
Still this shows that there is market share to be lost for American companies in the mass market of AI clients. And the logical step is to evolve these chips to server grade 5 to 10 years into the future.
The irony is that the Chinese industry actually wanted to use leading American chips, but USA has prevented that, forcing China to develop as much and as fast as they can to replace American chips. It was always the Chinese government that tried to encourage local Chinese development and use of AI chips, while most of the industry was reluctant.
But recent developments have made it clear to the Chinese industry that they have to have a homegrown option, because they can’t trust USA to deliver, despite China pays full price, and it helps American companies to stay ahead to supply to China too, as it helps pay for the necessary R&D.

I think the point is to make money.

The won’t is irrelevant because they can’t, the American anti terror law, gives major rights to any American security agency and even ordinary police to demand data. The only hurdle is a court order. And the agencies have their own anti terror courts that ONLY work with the agencies and only get their info from same agencies, because they are supposed to work in secret it can’t be taken outside.
Faced with such a court order, the company is forced to keep it secret too, and they cannot defend themselves, except to the secret court that works closely with the agencies!

And it’s the same for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and any other American company. Microsoft has just admitted it, which isn’t even necessary since this info was revealed by Edward Snowden just over a decade ago.

And Obama claimed USA had found a fair balance, the fair balance being that the government services can do just about whatever the fuck they want.

Microsoft even admitting this is probably bordering on being illegal, as this is supposed to be a secret, although anyone interested can look it up.

No one starved due to lock-downs.

Not true, the pandemic caused major inflation, doing the same for a prolonged period of time would be devastating.
But there are ways we can cut CO2 without increasing inflation. Like make the use of private jets illegal.
USA could cut their CO2 in half by following the model Denmark has developed since the 70’s.
Denmark has higher industrial and agricultural production than USA, and has more data centers per capita than USA, yet we only release half the CO2 per capita. And that’s without using nuclear!

And demand telemetry removed from all US services and products.
As it is now it’s illegal to collect on children, but it should simply be completely illegal.

No they can’t, they never could, and it’s way way overdue for EU to finally wake up to the reality that all US owned cloud services are factually illegal for any European (EU) authority to use, from kindergartens to courts and everything in between.
It is also illegal for any private company operating in EU to hold any user/customer/personnel data on servers owned by American companies.

I’ve been saying this for more than 8 years now! Because this became apparent already under Obama, that the US government can demand, any data in any country held by any American company, to be handed over. Furthermore they can do this in secret under anti terror laws. And the companies affected are not allowed to mention anything to anybody, under regulation of steep penalties.

This was what Obama claimed was a balanced approach!
And the Republicans are worse!
And now it is very apparent that the checks and balances don’t even work. The current American administration will do whatever they want, and worry about legality later. And threaten any opposition with secrecy under national security and anti terror laws.
Keep way way away from any American form of server/digital service and especially cloud services.
And also keep away from American telemetry. Which all ought to be illegal in EU.

Normal one and zero transistors can hold their state for a while only needing refresh cycles at intervals.
Seems logical to me that it’s harder to hold values of greater variance, which is probably also why everything works with binary systems, and not a single vendor has chips that use bits with for instance 3 or 4 states.
What would be most obvious if this wasn’t a problem would be to make a decimal based computer. There’s a reason we don’t have that, except by using 4 bits wasting 6 values, which is very wasteful.

All three components will be in production this time next year

OK we will see then how good they are.
Pretty awful pictures, hard to see if the monster in the center of the board is a single chip or chiplet design? But it looks like a single chip, so guaranteed to be insanely expensive to make.

Let’s hope AMD or others can really break into the compute market with some more competitive products.

Nobody cares about cars killing people and animals.

I think that’s overstating it a bit, of course many care, and we have people who are responsible for setting safety standards.
Just because accidents are unavoidable doesn’t mean we aren’t trying to minimize them and avoid fatalities.

Mandatory safety belts is an example of this. But other than that there are actual scientific studies into road safety, and even city wide implementations of such studies. At least in Europe there is, but I’m guessing USA has it too.

Just because traffic accidents happen, and we obviously need “traffic” to be able to move around, doesn’t mean nobody cares.

As an anecdotal example, here (Denmark) the speed limit was increased from 110 to 130 on our equivalent to Autobahn, which may seem like accepting more accidents for convenience or efficiency. But in reality it was to divert more traffic to the safer “Autobahn” to actually reduce the number of accidents on smaller roads.

Traffic safety is as much about psychology as it is about making safer systems.

PPS:
Regarding the animals we have just had warnings about deer, and some places have small tunnels made for frogs.
And there are warning signs where deer tend to cross in almost any country that has them.

After the latest Android update, When I turn on the torchlight on my phone, I get a notification with a text AND A blingeling sound.
I often use the torch when going to bed, and the audio notification is EXTREMELY annoying since I’m trying not to wake my wife.

For fucks sake, a notification for tuning on the torchlight? I would think it’s kind of obvious since first I pushed the button to turn it on, and for fucks sake it a TORCHLIGHT, how could I miss having turned it on?!?! That notification is insanely moronic, and I can’t find anywhere to disable it???
Stupid Android updates always fuck up something.

PS:
My phone is a Xiaomi 13T Pro.
If this is a Xiaomi thing, it could be reason enough for me not to buy Xiaomi again.

Good point, and it is also very sensitive to contamination after it is boiled, even minor contamination will ruin the beer.

In that regard I think he and you are correct.
Also that a moderate amount of alcohol facilitates socializing better than most things.

AFAIK traditional beer has a pretty high content of B vitamins, and those can have the effect of easing depression and improve mental energy.
BUT! Also AFAIK modern brewing techniques removes most the vitamin B to improve taste and looks (making it clear).

What is still often in beer is alcohol, and after the initial up from being a little bit drunk, alcohol is known to make depressions worse, and decrease mental energy.

Why would you do it with people you don’t trust?

I have no idea. But it works in Proton, so I’m guessing it’s not a problem with my system?

But you could work together with other people, and you could be many people that each checked his/her part for malicious code.

The decision not to sell VLC represents an act of resistance against the increasing privatization of software. In an era when many free applications are monetized through advertising, subscriptions or data collection, VLC remains true to its original mission:

Cool 😎
And thanks. 👍 😀

It not only gave way, it actually paved the way.
Brainwashing about American individual freedom ideals, have become idolization of billionaire sociopaths as the ultimate expressions of individual freedom.
