How do you develop for it though? Do you install it locally as well? Or do you only do interpreted languages and/or Java? I suppose Go would work across distros also (because it doesn't use libc), but that's all I can think o

Because the US has been ruled by incompetent and corrupt imbeciles since the 70s. And there's now a second generation of incompetent imbeciles in the government who were students back then. If you think they can avert, let alone win th

"Maintenance" won't add $100 per die like GP is suggesting. There are hundreds of dies per wafer, and thousands of wafers within maintenance interval. We're talking a very small incremental cost. And it too could be redu

To those downvoting, if your attention span is long enough for a long read, here's an explanation of why the United States will 100% guaranteed lose if it chooses to engage: https://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/2021/

See Moon landings and the Manhattan project for an example of what unlimited budget and the best brains were able to accomplish in this country between the 40s and 70s. Then it all went way downhill precisely because of this kind of reasoni

That'll be another hundred billion dollars and five years tho. Maybe by then they'll install some functioning cannons on these.

My point is, until we ban the immediate popping up of these figureheads on Big Pharma boards (something Trump tried and failed to do, and Biden won't even try), there's a massive conflict of interest, and everything they say and d

In a full scale conflict, carrier group would be sunk by subs in the first 15 minutes. Those carrier groups are a relic of the past that only works against unsophisticated adversaries who do not have the largest submarine fleet in the world

There's not a whole hour of labor in each iPhone. Not even close. Humans just put together robot-assembled boards, screens, and so on. If this is re-shored, it wouldn't be that difficult for Apple to reduce manual labor even furth

OK, then we'll pay $20 more for a $3K laptop. Hardly a tragedy. Same with labor by the way. If Apple made phones here and charged $20-30 more per unit, their user base wouldn't even blink.

MBA programs do not produce "business leaders", except by accident. They produce business _administrators_, which is a different thing entirely, and often the opposite that of a leader. People often confuse management with leaders

Sounds like supply/demand is in their favor at the moment. Some readjustment is due.

That's exactly how the market works, in the absence of collusion. Which has been demonstrated several times among big tech behemoths [1]. That is also how it'll work this time, assuming there is no collusion, which there may still

People often react with incredulity about FAANG comp, while forgetting that the company makes several times as much per employee as mean comp package (2/3rds of which isn't even cash). All of that value is generated by employees.

At a minimum, according to my Chinese source, Beijing was also affected (though Shanghai was not). They had to wear masks, sanitize, distance, close schools, economy tanked, etc. It lasted for about a year and we never heard much about it,

Fauci is the highest-paid US government employee. That's even ignoring the fact that he will make tens of millions of dollars after he ceases to be a government employee. The previous head of the FDA, Gottlieb is with Pfizer already. T

Precisely. Their lead over AMD is insurmountable only because of CUDA. They should feed the goose that lays such awesome golden eggs, and feed it well.

NVIDIA has so much cash these days that they don't have to do just one thing. They can do _all_ the things, at the same time. This realistically would only take a 5-7 person team, including the manager. That's $2M/yr tops, al

Regarding commercialization of suicide: I think you're missing my point entirely somehow. The "societal" issue where old people are unwanted already exists, and it will exist irrespective of any innovation of this kind. Moreo

Linus was also nearly driven out by "activists". Best I can tell he never actually said or did anything egregious - his European directness and sense of humor just upset some particularly fragile folks on the mailing list, and so

NVIDIA should hire the guy, then hire whoever he says he wants on the team and let them rip. That's what I'd do if I were in their shoes. Viable paths off C/C++ are badly needed, and currently the only real viable path with a

They'd do well providing some root causes for this blowout. "Core team won't take CoC" is a bit of a cop-out. If the conduct is legal, IMO people who contribute most of the code should have more weight when deciding mode

Ubuntu is installed on bare metal, isn't it? :-) But on a more serious note, "bare metal" in the context of K8S means merely that K8S is not pre-installed by a cloud provider for you, and there are no external services (such

They are also "discrete", which kind of gets in the way of modeling continuous processes in this case. And not very good about modeling trillions of things at the same time due to communication overhead (both latency _and_ energy)

Intresting that CA can be for the environment and for concrete (which emits a lot of CO2 during its production [1]) _at the same time_ somehow. Hypocrisy? Incompetence? Corruption? I'll let you decide. [1] https://www.bbc.co
