they’re embargoed by the US, so nobody on good terms with the US can get it.

So no one.

That’s my point though they can’t do that.

The market isn’t just going to wait around for them to get around to selling to consumers again. China is going to see an opening and they’re going to manufacture their own chips and make bank. Then when the traditional manufacturer is getting their head out of their arses then realise there market share has vanished. All 100% their fault.

They have decided to shoot themselves in the foot because someone’s convinced them they won’t ever need legs ever again.

I don’t understand what their long-term plan is here. Even if AI isn’t a bubble eventually all of the AI companies are going to get to a point where they don’t need more compute because they’re working on algorithmic optimisations because they decide that that’s cheaper.

Then they’re going to have to pivot back to the consumer market. Except by that point it won’t even be a consumer market because China will have eaten their lunch.

How much RAM does a time machine require because that seems to be the basic advice here.

Yes and the examples you provided are so compelling.

Drones don’t pilot themselves humans do it. You’re not going to want to put on board processing on a drone it’s just going to increase the cost to limited tactical benefit. Plus without oversight you couldn’t take the chance it wouldn’t go completely haywire.

I’m not sure how it’s an arms race given the fact that it can’t do anything remotely useful.

The US has absolutely mad road to traffic laws. Zero concept of lane discipline, you driving whatever lane you feel like. Don’t understand roundabouts even though it’s just a curved road, it’s really not that hard. Still don’t have standardised pedestrian crossings even when other countries had them back in the 1920s. A red traffic light only means stop sometimes, but sometimes you can go if you’re turning right. No one obeys the speed limit, people regularly exceed it, and see no problem with that. And of course no one has separate indicator lights and brake lights because when would you ever slow down and go around a corner, definitely no need to engineer for that eventuality.

Given that it’s the engine Egyptians, they’ll be cat videos.

Why would Europe move manufacturing to the US. It would be just as expensive as in Europe, if you were to move manufacturing elsewhere it would be to India.

Why? Like seriously what does the idiot think he’s going to achieve with all of this. Because it seems like the republicans are speed running political irrelevance.

It doesn’t matter how many idiots they get to vote for them if the US dollar ceases to be the world currency because of all their stupid decisions. They’ll end up being in charge of an barely populated (ironically everybody with any brains immigrated) unproductive wasteland with crumbling infrastructure. I’m sure the great and wealthy will love living in that world.

Oh good. AI is collapsing and it’s taking Oracle with it.

Well we are woke Arabic numbers.

Everyone in any position of authority in Russia is on the take. This means that the capabilities of the Russian military is purely theoretical, on paper Russia is a formidable force, on paper.

They sent troops in without equipment, without ammunition, and without supplies. Not because they didn’t think they would need ammunition and food but because someone nicked them all back in 08 and everyone in the military is too scared of Putin to tell him this. Probably because they were the ones that took some of it.

Meanwhile, I’m eagerly waiting for the local Tankie to, once again, explain how so much death is justified by the dire threat Ukraine

Great, now they’ve turned up.

If anyone in the Trump administration had any brains at all, this would have been obvious from the outset.

The only people who can see advantage to Ukraine seeding territory to Russia, is Russia. Everyone else involved can see what a monumental tactical error that would be. Especially since everybody knows the only reason Russia is even at the negotiating table is because they are desperate, given that is the case, there is zero reason to capitulate.

I wonder what Israel’s long-term plan is. Because if they achieve their objective and wipe out Gaza then they’re going to be international pariahs for pretty much the rest of history.

Regardless of what governments made decide there is going to be extreme social pressure for businesses to not work with them, and the thing is they represent such a small market it isn’t worth the inevitable boycott doing business with them would result in. The Israeli government have to know this, civilians living in Israel must know this, yet here we are.

There’s no point telling it not to do x because as soon as you mention it x it goes into its context window.

It has no filter, it’s like if you had no choice in your actions, and just had to do every thought that came into your head, if you were told not to do a thing you would immediately start thinking about doing it.

So you can’t actually solve problems. You can just look up previously solved problems.

What a clever idea to write the results of an experiment down.

I really want to see a Dreamcast in a hermetically sealed bag. I will never get to of course because the sort of people who put dreamcasts in hermetically sealed bags are not the sort of people whose homes you want to go to.
