Yeah, but this the UK. Healthcare is free(ish) and when people are short of time and money they tend to make short term decisions.

But then the cost would go up, and there is a cost of living crisis, and a housing crisis, and a climate crisis, and a student debt crisis already.

It's part of a long term trend towards making life for ordinary people are marginal as possible. Fine tuning the system to keep us alive and healthy enough to work, at the lowest possible cost and highest possible profit margin.

This is exactly the wrong way around. On reading, you cannot avoid the latency. On writing you can by buffering. Hence this is most suitable for data structures that are primarily written but rarely read.

Don't worry. LLMs are complete crap at writing secure software but are pretty good at attacking software. Hence the people using them for actual coding will not be around anymore in a few years.

... such an event is actually possible. Far too much critical infrastructure is not even remotely secured as well as it should be. Hackers usually do not go after it, because there is no profit in it and scary people may come looking for them. But AI, while not very competent as attacker, may not understand that and may attack anyways.

Throughput Vs latency. Hardware RAID tends to be fast for processing large volumes of data, but the overhead increases the latency.

It's a bit different with DRAM though because the controller is complex and built into the CPU. AMD, for example, already transparently encrypts data in RAM with no performance loss, all in hardware.

You do realize where the WWW was created, right? Well, you probably do not.

Truth matters. That is not the truth. All you are doing by lauding somebody that made a good contribution beyond all reason is adding lies. That is not good.

So, no, here contributions were not "incredible". That requires a bit more.

Better programming means better programmers. We are currently going the other way with bad programmers being replaced by even worse slop.

It seems enough time has passed since the last catastrophic failures in this space that people do not remember. No, this does not work except in some very specific scenarios. What Meta is probably doing is get hardware done for their very special and very irrelevant elsewhere use-case. That does not even merit a story.

Thanks, I'll have a watch of that later.

A good place to see that politicians are generally clueless and incapable or unwilling to see facts. I mean, I can run my own recursive DNS with no problems and the only thing I lose is some performance from caching. There is not even a reasonable possibility to block this in the network.

To calculate something and to do a calculation is _very_ different. The second part is maybe 10% of the job.

Sure. But if they get faked, it will come back to be counterproductive. Honesty matters.
