We'll see, I mostly object to the "vultures circling" narrative that HN seems to be attached to. Intel's current position is not unprecedented, and people have been speculating Intel would have a rough catchup since the

Intel has had a few bad years, but frankly I feel like they could fall a lot lower. They aren't as down bad as AMD was during the Bulldozer years, or Apple during the PowerPC years, or even Samsung's early Exynos chipsets. The abs

No, I'm highlighting the part of Mandatory Palestine where it quite literally started out as a British colonial entity. I personally believe Israel has a right to exist. There are two fundamental claims that lie unaddressed and compr

Software developers using Macbooks doesn't mean Apple solved the ML problem. The past 10 years of MacOS removing features has somewhat proved that software developers will keep using Macs even when the featureset regresses. Like how Ap

Then so what? It's whataboutism. The practical answer is that all of FAANG will have to pick up the pieces once their supply chain is shattered. Samsung would quickly reach capacity with AMD and potentially Nvidia as priority customers

Sure, Apple did the same thing with TSMC's 5nm node. They still lost in performance-per-watt in direct comparison with Nvidia GPUs using Samsung's 8nm node. Money isn't everything, even when you have so much of it that you ca

Wow, it's almost as slow as an Nvidia laptop chip. Crazy how Apple on 3nm struggles to out-design Nvidia on 5nm...

You've taken this discussion entirely off the rails. This started by you facetiously asking for an explanation of how Israel is a colonial power despite knowing fully well that it is one. When it was explained to you, you didn't t

Nobody here is trying to appeal to higher authority, really. The UN is relevant insofar as it represents the concerns of the rest of the world, and the decorum they consider acceptable for international conduct. You don't have to def

I think that misses the point too. If China has such competent indigenous aerospace industries then they shouldn't be relying on foreign designs for their engines and aircraft. If everyone else can design a proper 5th gen aircraft, why

I don't disagree. But two wrongs don't add up to one right, so nobody is really looking at the current situation as a net-positive. Israel is a colonial state that currently has a long way to go in renouncing the territory they do

Nothing you just said refutes the current colonial status of the Israeli state and their active defense of internationally abhorred occupations. My intention isn't to defame anyone with emotional candor, but rather to shine a light on

With fairness to these "emotional lunatics", their assumption that Russia would be too afraid to attack NATO territories has thus far been proven right.

To be fair, it makes sense from an optics perspective. Send the defector to the US and you start a new era of bad blood (or worse, casus belli). Send them to India, and Russia has no choice but to begrudgingly accept it.
