I think it would be more valuable if it had less concepts than C# but it doesn't seem clear if they succeeded in that.

USA is partly a petrostate so regulatory capture is a problem. Negative externalities are not paid for by the polluters. To mitigate the climate catastrophe it would be important to ramp down fossil fuel production in a big hurry. In Europe

It has. For example mechanization of argiculture in places where it didnt coincide with a manufacturing boom (latin america, india, africa) resulted in shantytowns and long term unemployment.

The economy doesn't need workers as consumers necessarily. It would of course be a huge shock to the economy but the economy could adjust to it eventually. Maybe it compromises the 2040 timeline. Still, billionaires are increasingly ho

To interpret charitably, I guess we could solve this for religion = technological development so advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic. It's been done in some Star Trek episodes I think.

EU's leadership doesn't have much power that way, the EU is a thin layer on the countries. In the US the federal government has much more power but nobody is attributing the term good fortunes of the AI industry to the recent fed

I get where you're coming from but I'd argue the kvm group is still better even when you automatically give all human users membership. You can then have less-privileged accounts for service roles, for example nginx doesn't n

Depends on your setup, you can have per-app permissions too. Flatpak, snap etc do this for desktop apps, Android does it, containerized server apps do it. But of course if it turns out you're running malware, you're going to have

Linux controls access using configurable file permissions, so this has a false premise. The better question is doesn't RHEL really use a kvm group to limit access like other distributions? If so, why?

The others above USA are tiny countries. USA is at 14, Saudi Arabia at 20, EU at 5, China at 9. The reductions in absolute tonnage for USA are big because there's a lot of low hanging fruit left. And it's partly a petrostate.

I looked it up: 512 GB/s for the two node AMD cluster, Macbook Pro with M5 CPU has 153 GB/s. But you can get faster Macs with M5 Pro or M5 Max.

Kind of.. but at the same time: A nation state will fail at most things, because there's no budget, and there's commercial pressure, democratic pressure etc. One of the few things to make it work is lack of competition. Iran: they
