AMD is pretty close on Intel's tail for the server market. Arm and the mobile-derived processors, on the other hand, aren't making much of an inroad there.

For server processor's it's all about the CPU sram cache. Intel learned that lesson from AMD 20 years ago. AMD inexplicably forgot it in their following generation of processors and has only recently started making good server chips again.

Mobile processors are all about power consumption. Best bang for the watt. That starts with a software-level instruction set that requires as few transistors as possible to implement. Assembly language and microcode that is the legacy of the x86 is not such an instruction set. While more performant that arm, many of the x86's instructions consume more electricity that a comparable sequence of arm instructions. That's fine when you're plugged into the wall and want to go fast, but it's less desirable when you're running off a tiny phone battery.

As the product name implies, the AI will -draft- the report. The officer still has to read and adjust it before submission.

I already buy e-books and books from a couple of small publishers and individual authors.
The publishers don't have enough of a monopoly to kill them off and "enshittify" publishing (;-))

I have at least half a brain, so here it is:

1. Kansas City's Subtropolis and nearby areas are host to a large number of data centers. The next closest data centers of comparable size are in Chicago, Dallas and Colorado, quite some distance away. And it's not clear that Kansas City isn't bigger.

But while the area is dense with data centers, it's not dense with communications pathways. The customers aren't in Kansas City.

2. It is notoriously difficult to assess whether two network services you wish to buy will ever use the same physical path. Not only are there too many levels in the supply chain, the paths change as companies at each level renegotiate contracts and reconfigure their networks.

I subscribed to Netflix DVDs because I could get the latest movie releases, all of last season's TV shows and a bunch of other stuff. I added streaming because it added to that value.

Then Netflix canceled my DVD service and with it, many of the latest movie releases and most of last season's TV shows. Which was the core reason I wanted Netflix in the first place.

Netflix's CEO said, "the goal is to become hbo faster than hbo can become us." Congratulations. There's just one problem with your success: I was never willing to pay for HBO. And I'm still not. Stay on this path and the days of my subscription are numbered.

The bufferbloat folks proved that you don't have to have your call quality or gaming experience suffer if someone starts asking for tons of bandwidth. To oversimplify, the mongo download process is forced to compete fairly with the voip call, not just drown it out.

An ISP that doesn't use modern software is at moral hazard. They're tempted to rob Peter to pay Paul, exactly as we see <curses elided/> Telcos doing here.
At the same time, they need to legally use fq_codel and CAKE on their network, to do fair queuing (the fq in fc_codel).

For recent work in fixing bufferbloat within ISPs, see https://libreqos.io/, which I see as QOS done the right way, a way consistent with net neutrality.

While I'm sure the new tax software is wonderful, I don't particularly want the IRS to see any of my numbers until I'm *done* calculating them. With tax regulations as complex as they are, I don't trust my intermediate work to be correct. And I definitely don't trust the IRS to not hold that against me.

Technically excellent. Great effects. Wonderful loyalty to the source material. Acting is acceptable. The plot... well, it's 8 hours of a video game. Not 8 hours of a show set in a video game universe. And that's unfortunate. The characters are caricatures and the plot runs at a video game cadence. No emotional investment in any of it.

One risk is that non-discriminatory bandwidth management (eg, the stuff the bufferbloat team does, like fq_codel and CAKE) will not be easy to distinguish from the discriminatory stuff that enables the ISP to demand kickback and/or being paid extra by the provider of the service. That would result in shitty service for everyone and, perversely, more motivation to pay the ISP to work around the rules.

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Multiple courts have considered and disagreed with that assessment, including the Cox court. The last non-anonymous entity in the chain is the one responsible for enforcing the DMCA takedown notices.

Did I say otherwise? I did not.

Again, the treaty says the inverse: that the U.K. can refuse to extradite if the the U.S. fails to provide such an assurance. Nothing in the treaty, nor anywhere else in U.S. law, grants anyone the authority to provide such a sweeping exception to U.S. law.

Article 7 of the treaty says the inverse of what you claim: extradition can be refused for failing to provide assurance. It does not require any such assurance to be provided and does not provide a mechanism by which such assurance can be lawfully provided.

As you point out, the judge in a specific case can impose any sentence it wants within what the law allows regardless of what anybody else promises. How exactly do you propose that a judge in a case where the judge has not even been selected yet make a promise to a foreign nation that he won't impose the death penalty in a case where the law allows it? Have you even begun to think it through?

Finally, once the accused is in the U.S. states can file any charges they want under state law regardless of what the federal government does, so long as they're under state law. For example, if they decide that someone was killed in their state because of wikileaks, they can charge Assange with murder. And there's nothing the Federal government can do about it. The President can't even issue a pardon because it's not a Federal crime.

The treaty says they don't have to turn Assange over unless we waive the death penalty. But neither it nor any other U.S. law actually grants anyone in the United States the authority to irreversibly waive the death penalty for all crimes with which the extradited individual might be charged.

The practical effect of the treaty clause is that if the crime carries the death penalty in the U.S. but not the U.K., the U.K. is not bound by treaty to extradite.
