Hot take... There is something about programming projects spending 10x (or 1000x) the effort to parallelize execution when everything is still restricted by von Neumann architecture.

I don't really see why they would do that?

I think of this as a baker at the nascence of bread-baking factories. Will you operate the bread baking machine, own a bread factory ($++) or make eco-handmade artisan bread ($--). Or do something completely different? Trade railway shares?

I don't know, I always feel these companies (including governments) are selling this kind of contracts too cheap. They are not used to the aggressiveness of FAANG negotiators, they treat them as friends.

What is the denominator? I.e. how many times did it prevent war?
