IIRC the "token release" claim was more of a cleanup after the first and strongest version of his "reporting" didn't really pan out. IIRC he also said that there would be no gen 3 dGPU release after the "token&

I agree that he's not that bad, but he's definitely not 100% accurate, in particular with respect to Intel. Notably this is about the 3rd time in 2 years that he's reported that the Intel dGPU efforts are being killed off.

It's not at all obvious that e.g. the drone attack, which involved >100 drones assembled inside Russia by human operatives who were able to safely exfiltrate, and 5 different storage containers, in a coordinated strike on 5 differen

The most frustrating thing about leftists is their focus on tearing down and self-flagellation over actually doing anything meaningful to make the world a better place. There is a whole archetype of person that would rather verbally jerk of

Yeah, the only games that I've found that don't run fine on Linux, are games where the game may actually work fine but the developer explicitly breaks support for anticheat reasons.

The latest 2 DTS seasons are much better than the earlier ones in terms of accuracy. Not perfect, but better.

Or a race with no pit stops. Tire degradation is largely artificial and designed to FIA requirements. They could make tires that lasted an entire race with minimal reduction in grip if they wanted to, but that would remove a lot of strategy

Drive to Survive isn't that type of show. It's about the characters and drama, not the racing.

James Vowles and Toto Wolff are both really interesting to listen to. Especially James - you can immediately tell that his brain is operating on a very high level of organization and clarity.

No. As someone who likes bcachefs and even literally donates to Kent's patreon, the way he has gone about engaging with the kernel community is not productive. Unfortunately. CoC isn't even the issue, he constantly breaks kernel d

The speed was partially enabled by an economy of scale that will not be possible to reach again like it was in the 50s / 60s / 70s.

It's also worth mentioning that, while I'm not anti-nuclear on principle, the economic return on nuclear projects ranges somewhere between "multiple decades" and "never" - and there's a large empty gap on

>Before that the Pentagon halved its funding for the F-35 program.[2] This is so misleading. They cut this year's orders of the F-35 in half. That's not even close to the same thing as cutting funding for the program in half.

F-15C is ancient. Gripen E vs F-16V shouldn't be that far apart in terms of performance.

Lack of MDFs does not mean that you can't fly missions. It's an intelligence product that assists with mission planning. That's like saying your car is completely unusable if the builtin maps are a few years out of date.

Fighter jets are not immune to normal economics. If the material costs of production inputs go up, then so will the cost of the fighter, unless there was some pre-agreed binding contract which locks in the price, which in this case there w

Gripen is more expensive to purchase than the F-35 and F-16. The operating costs are a bit cheaper than the F-16 and substantially cheaper than the F-35 however.

Let's say that I granted your point entirely. Would you object to the counter-point that massive authoritarian excess, corruption, and economic inefficiency is a natural end result of Marxist-Leninist thought?
