Hence Google's investment in RISC V. It's not yet competitive, but with some time and money it can become competitive. Also, ARM can't raise the prices too much because x86 is still right there.

You don't get to be a three trillion dollar company by saying "We have plenty of money so we don't need to be efficient". You also don't stay a three trillion dollar company that way.

Please elaborate.

Trump received more black votes than any Republican in history.

As blacks move up, they move right. Same for Hispanics.

Democrats need a positive agenda that addresses the concerns of working-class voters. They aren't gonna win by playing the race card.

Which probably is much worse, because the increased depth leads to higher decoherence risks. But it hardly matters. This stuff will never scale to useful sizes with useful computation lengths. Nothing exponential ever does unless these sizes are tiny. For QC workloads, useful sizes are large. Factoring 35 does nothing. With the one exceptions of running Physics experiments, but these are not computations, no matter the lies.

Yes. Agree to all of this.

My prediction is that IT regulation and liability will come from the EU, because the EU actually understands that some things need to be controlled or everything goes to shit. In fact, we already have it, in part. The GDPR and, very new and untested, software liability when selling to private customers via consumer protection laws.

The US? They will adopt it when they have really no other choice because nothing works anymore.

True. At least that is MBA thinking. And that is why we need liability and regulation. Amateur-hour in IT is getting massively too expensive.

Which is simply utterly dumb if you have to continue sharing a country. Or a planet.

The difference is that news media skew intentionally, while "AI" is simply dumb.

Totally usable and helpful, right?

Try the World Bank for a start.

Poverty index:
Russian Federation 0.1
United States 1.2

GDP Growth:
RF 4.3%
US 2.8%

Unemployment:
RF 2.5%
US 4.1%

Government debt % of GDP
RF 18.%
US 114.8%

In a number of aspects they're doing better than we are. (Yeah, that's cherry picked, obviously, but nothing there looks like 'immanent collapse'.)

Try the country with the single largest Muslim population on the planet, Indonesia.

OK, most installed non-phone OS.

Because this could very likely have been prevented or at the very least made much less severe. All it would have taken is doing what the state-of-the-art requires. But no, greed runs supreme.

Because I can really not see them doing anything like that because they though it was right.
