My guess is recording laws probably grew from eavesdropping laws so perhaps in some situations you could setup an eavesdropper to serve as a collaborating witness. Or they could've attempted to intimidate you while you were in a crowd.

There was a 4:1 split in July, 2020 so it's comparable to the $0.82 dividend Apple was issuing earlier in 2020. https://investor.apple.com/dividend-history/default.aspx

I don't think we need to be skeptical because of the lack of information given. The article just says some future chip, with unknown memory, at some unspecified power level and cooling solution, will be able to eke out a benchmark win

It was the cold war and Reagan was president. Believe me, plenty of people were using the national security angle.

Obviously you're correct about that, but those productivity gains from those sources are unlikely to be accurately predicted by Wright's Law, which is what this thread is about.

If China annexes Taiwan it will be for reasons that have nothing to do with TSMC. There may be a short term benefit but if they get cut off from ASML (Europe), Applied Materials (US), etc. it's going to be tough to keep their machines

I don't think that would make a very good GPU as it wouldn't fit the data model well [1] as the instructions and data need to share the same bus which would mess up streaming. Your suggestion is closer to a grid computer but even
