Even if they put out some super high memory models and just pass the ram through at cost it would increase sales -- potentially quite dramatically and increase their total income a lot and have a good chance of transitioning to being a mark

It's pretty much whiplash vs software. In software you get access to the source code for a lot of SOTA industrial sofware in almost every field. In mechanical engineering/machining/etc. you mostly only get access to educatio

85% of stolen cars have been recovered historically, 34% same day. So anecdata about a single recovery really don't tell us much of about the benefit of living in a panopticon.

The 'crypto industry' was supposed to collect and contain the manic megalomaniacs before they could build the torment nexus. I guess instead we get Machines of Loving Grace's boot stamping on a human face-- forever.

It's more claim than reality. The addition of water radically increases install costs (the main cost driver!) and dramatically reduces reliability. If you fully price it out you'll find it's more cost effective to just spam

One thing to keep in mind is that correction always comes as some expense of detection. Generally a code that can always detect N errors can only always correct N/2 errors. So you detect an errored block, you correct up to N/2 er

It's pretty straight forward to use a normal checksum to correct single or even more bit errors (depending on the block size, choice of checksum, etc). Though I expect those bit errors are bus/ram, and hopefully usually transien

Collaborative projects don't work on pure engineering. There are significant resource management components that basically amount to therapy, psychiatry, and side show entertainment because the most critical resources are human minds.

It's interesting that only two of them are zero before. Going from few to many is nowhere near the chatgpt using signal as going from zero to many... unless perhaps the few before were obviously from copy and pastes elsewhere.
