Monaco isn't on the table any more since this whole pedofuhrer thing has stained this country. Russia might be, though I would prefer to avoid that as well. Too bad. Good thing I don't have kids!

I think most people assign most of the blame for the clownstroke problem to them, and only a portion to Microsoft. They claimed they weren't using eBPF on Windows like they do on Linux because it's not sufficiently mature on Windows. So far I haven't heard from anyone who really knows whether that's true.

On the other hand, Microsoft has always been terrible. Updating windows has always been hazardous. Even in good times it would often scramble itself and stop updating until you did some magic bullshit, usually involving the command line that Windows users so frequently like to mock Linux about. Both systems sometimes require going to a shell, the difference is that it isn't shit on Linux.

Unless they're completely bananas, they will sell a device intended to be your display. Whether they do or not, lots of other companies will sell displays for the vehicle. It's cheap enough to do some adapter plastics for an existing unit.

You didn't understand that article. They've been doing that. It was computationally expensive. Now they've found ways to do it faster, so they are doing more of it.

That's only realistic if you expect this expansion to continue indefinitely. But it is almost certainly a bubble because it's unlikely that an advance in AI will come soon enough to justify all of the expenditure. (It's not impossible...)

Having to find and purchase property, get permits (even with substantial grease) and actually get everything lined up and in hand and made into a fab is a lot. If you can get it done in 24 months you're doing very well. And that's just the fab part of the business...

There's dime-a-dozen AMD UMA systems with AI acceleration, and their performance is pretty good, plus they all support much larger memory than most Apple systems. If all you want is AI acceleration, you can get that just fine. Apple's claim to fame continues to be their hardware design, which isn't incredibly better than literally everyone else, but really is generally pretty nice and almost always has been.

Please fucking do then, California is full.

Even more seriously though, California natives both more and less native than me (my father and I were both born here, before that the history gets Mexican, but that covered a lot of ground once) would be perfectly happy if the Hollywood and the tourism went away, and California's economy was based on real things — or at least virtually real things. People would still want to live here, because it would still have the best weather in the continental US. Parts of it are not great in that regard of course, but then that's because California has just about every kind of terrain but tundra. It's big.

As for residency, you don't not get taxed on anything simply because you're not a resident. California makes money on property taxes, it only ostensibly doesn't raise your property taxes dramatically unless you make significant improvements. If you want to own a lot of California, you're going to pay.

But once again, the billionaires can feel free to leave. California will make new ones, because it's rich land, and all wealth is derived from the land. But the reality is, they're not making more California. The last pieces of it which are pleasant to live in which haven't already been made stupendously expensive (on the North Coast) are being sold out now. Amazon is trying to come in at this moment. You're underestimating the value of a climate that's livable without air conditioning all year round. That's only getting scarcer.

Speaking only for myself, a 4xxx series card. Their Linux drivers used to be pretty good, now they are real bad. When I do a driver update it's about 50/50 whether they will break sleep. For once I wish I had AMD graphics.

Capitalism doesn't care where the money comes from, government or not

Sure, if we all have a daddy with an emerald mine and a bunch of clueless cucks to line up to suck our cocks we can ALL make 10 trillion!

I was going to buy a new phone last month but then I didn't because of the prices. Moto normally deeply discounts the old model but didn't even do that, their old models stayed fairly expensive, and the new models are very expensive (compared to normal, they still aren't as cracked out as Samsung.)

Nobody is buying a vanilla android phone and using it as delivered to not use any Google services. If they want that they are at least reflashing, if not buying a phone with an alternate android on it... Which moto claims they will soon offer. Not holding my breath though

Well, I'm glad at least someone gets it, unlike the chuds who modded me down for not worshipping their golden ass.

Instead they will buy that data as part of an investigation in to who's getting abortions. You forgot who's running this country, they're not interested in catching criminals. That's difficult and expensive compared to declaring victory.

Gemini also says you forgot how to think, which we know because you thought people would be glad to see some slop from the worst LLM there is.
