>The US can give them money as grants. Grants put skin in the game for the US because they require Intel to meet the terms. It's not the same as taking part in decisionmaking? Intel could just say 'no' to grants. They don&

Well, there are two options now: Linux phones and forking/deGoogling Android. I still believe the second is far more viable. There never was much reason to do all the work twice when there's sufficiently well licensed source aroun

The term Viking describes a profession (pirating/raiding) than an ethnicity. Now every robber (pirate) needs a fence, and going to the people that were pillaged is obviously suboptimal. Much better to go to others who are not well-disp

They weren't really trying. Once you give oil-producing states a veto the result is obvious. If they were serious, EU and others would negotiate a separate treaty and then maybe get others to join.

Their servers are so old, even an entirely different architecture emulating x86_64 would still see a performance increase... So there's no OSS argument here - they could even buy a Talos, have no closed firmware, and still see a perfor

It's all very simple: Entra* (Azure AD or however you'd call it) should not be used for AuthZ. Entra AuthN is okayish, but forget about Entra AuthZ, do it all yourself. It's all very simple to avoid once you do AuthZ. * No id

China is acting exactly as it would, were it getting ready for war. Whether they actually do it or not is anyone's guess.

That's a nice scenario, but not the realistic scenario. The realistic scenario is that people will use designs from social media, and everyone will look rather similar.

The most realistic Terminator movie is the one where Skynet realizes there's no need for any nuclear war, uprising or similar uncouth means. Just be quiet and replace humans throughout the economy, war, and decisionmaking in general un

The Nobel Savage is always pushed back to the time before any observations. One day we'll have some ancient findings, at which point they'll blame Marajoaran colonization or something.

Nice cite. Devereaux above has a post-publication note with alternate explanations to that. That issue is debatable, I just think that 'taking centuries to reach same population level while at similar-ish tech level and much worse diet

It's even worse. This isn't a simply supply-demand curve. Supply here often increases demand (patients live more and longer; They need more care).

Everything you state was available in the net. Did the people grow more informed? So far practice suggests the opposite conclusion[0]. I hope for the best, but the state of the world so far doesn't justify it... [0] https://

Software bitrots. Sometimes it's compiler stuff, sometimes the very usecase changes (few used the network design of X, or server-side fonts, etc. etc.). The way X got no 'attention' (so to speak) made the new technical design

That particular scenario (listening in on other apps) is very theoretical, can you recall any attack ever using it? IIRC Windows still has the same 'ability' - and nobody cares.

X withering away was inevitable once you consider the 'economic' situation - very few people worked on it once the commercial Unix vendors went down. There was little practical enthusiasm for a common layer. Even before Wayland, i

Can't entirely fault Intel. Linux is mature enough to take care of itself, and Intel has other priorities. But they could have given a bit more notice.

Presumably, they'd want to get at embeddings, and compare the dimensional space somehow to say: 'the relation between tokens a,b,c is close to the relation of tokens a1,b1,c1 in a similar model of texts of known language of appare
