Mecha-Hitler disagrees.

And "toxic" is just a code-word for masculine. Which has been declared "toxic" by our overlords, who don't want us to oppose them.

ARM's TrustZone is definitely more secure than the alternatives on Intel/AMD, but TrustZone is also subject to side-channel attacks. To a first approximation, it's impossible to run two workloads on the same CPU and keep them perfectly isolated from one another.

However, I don't think any of these secure enclave concepts are relevant in this case. The way you'd build a private AI cloud is not to run it in enclaves (which are essentially just security-focused VMs) on CPUs that are running other tasks, the way you'd do it is to devote a bunch of CPUs solely to running the private AI workloads. Then your isolation problem becomes the traditional ones of physical access control to the secure machines and securing data flowing into and out of those machines over network connections.

The Economy relies on ever-increasing amounts of debt to function. Banks are fine with lending money because they expect taxpayers to bail them out if the loans go bad.

> I feel like the entire world is caught up in snake oil salesmanship to the point of destroying the entirety of functional society, just because a very few people might make some money off of it. WTF?

It's been like that for years now. Society is collapsing and we're in the Looting The Treasury phase.

Without Moore's Law you can build more powerful chips by making them bigger, but they'll take more power to run. Which means more cooling to keep them running and more power plants to run them.

There might be improvements to chip design to make them more optimal for AI software, but that's likely to be a one-off.

Turn off AC comments again you cryptofucks, 99.9% of AC posts are fucking garbage

Unless you're an Uyghur Muslim you probably won't be enslaved there, you can put your money into foreign banks and then you will still have benefit unless the risk catches up to you.

Capitalism inherently means literally only one thing, capital controls the means of production. Who has the capital? The wealthy. Who therefore has the right to control? Yeah. That's right, the wealthy. Capitalism IS about the rights of the wealthy.

Capitalism is about control of PRODUCTION, not about control of stuff you bought. That is orthogonal to capitalism. You have to have the right to own property for capitalism to exist but that doesn't give you the right to do whatever you want with it.

Rent seeking is orthogonal to capitalism as well, because it's not about production. Hell, it's barely even about ownership, since you can sublet.

TL;DR: All the stuff you think is capitalism is really about a specific form of capitalism with other things added on. Capitalism is NOT inherently about free MARKETS. You can have mods on capitalism to try to make it make the freest possible markets, but they aren't the soul of capitalism. Rich people controlling stuff is.

This is ignorant. There are lots of reasons why consumers would have to buy a product which is hard to repair. For example there's no credible alternative, use of a specific product is all that's supported, it's mandated by an employer, the manufacturer has driven competing manufacturers out of business, etc. This is why we have antitrust and warranty laws.

The very essence of capitalism is that those who control the capital control the means of production. Everything else you think is necessarily part of capitalism isn't except for private property ownership, as you can't have capitalism without that. The right to purchase a competing product means absolutely nothing when there is no competing product, when a specific product can be mandated, when the alternate products cannot reasonably be maintained or there are deliberate incompatibilities, etc etc. It's really truly sad how few people around here know what capitalism is, means, and does.

This is the problem right here. Why is Google not considered an accessory? Google received consideration to disseminate it and the either employed no or insufficient oversight. This is not simply user-provided content which was posted without their cooperation.

In the US it primarily works the other way around, the automakers intervene in the government by having their lawyers write legislation and then paying congresscreeps to sponsor it. That's how we got the regulatory landscape we have with e.g. the chicken tax, and the differing standards for light trucks.

Government intervention in the USA is kind to the big 3 automakers and primarily fucks over consumers, like how California is now making owners of heavy diesel RVs get smog tests every year even though their contribution to emissions is barely measurable. It costs each owner $250 to get the test and another $35 or so in filing fees to accomplish... fuck all. Plus it creates an additional trip which starts with idling for at least fifteen minutes (or up to half an hour, depending on the ambient temperature) so the wet sleeved diesel engine can come up to temp before I set off. My neighbors must really enjoy that. Also then there's the fact that DPFs reduce soot but a) increase the production of PM2.5 soot and b) increase CO2 emissions. DEF+SCR good (except that the DEF injection systems are typically pathetically fragile) but DPF is bad but still mandated.

There is no reason why applications which choose to implement both types of interfaces can't do so. There's also no reason why users should be limited to one type of interface or the other. Both things coexist completely peacefully on Android. You can connect a mouse to your tablet (or even phone) and treat it like a desktop system with shitty storage (practically all phones, it takes a lot of power to have fast storage.)

The primary use case for tablet computers in olden times was data entry and acquisition, for example the military used their magnesium-case gridpads to do inventory.

The problem is for every hundred "We've found a cure for disease X in mice!" stories I see, I see one where the cure that worked in mice didn't not work in humans. And it may not actually work very well because humans and mice are so different.

> Why would somebody who believes in objective truths like science, want to live in a country where the ruling class has complete, un-challenged power?

Why would they want to live in a democracy where the government flips every few years and the flips are growing increasingly large and insane?

Aside from all that money they paid you and the connections you made and all that stuff. Which hopefully will pay for you to retire somewhere else.

China is a serious nation and doesn't give away citizenship like candy the way the US does.

America can't have walkable cities because modern American cities are literally designed so the middle and upper class can get away from 'minorities'. That means suburbs which can only be reached by car.

The same is now increasingly true of much of Europe, where whites flee the already walkable parts of the city to get away from the millions of 'minorities' their governments have imported over the last twenty years.
