So far as fulfillment warehouses go, feasibility is already 100%, that is to say there is no task needed to be performed that can not currently be done by machines.

Again Amazon will replace ALL of their warehouse workers as soon as it is feasible. So far they have only been able to replace some of them.

If you read this post it shows that AMD stole Intel's design and reverse engineered it.

If you dig deeper, you'll find that AMD originally reverse engineered the *8080*, not the 8086. The two companies had entered into a cross-licensing agreement by 1976. Intel agreed to let AMD second-source the 8086 in order to secure the PC deal with IBM, who insisted on having a second source vendor.

There would have been no Intel success story without AMD to back them up.

(That actually would have been for the best. IBM would probably have selected an non-segmented CPU from somebody else instead of Intel's kludge.)

Was an Intel CPU used to compute this?

The article says this: "Various sources indicate that a single Am9080 processor cost AMD only 50 cents to make (100 per wafer), yet it could sell them to military customers for $700 each." It however does not name "various sources". My best guess is the $0.50 does not include any capital costs and only certain operational costs.

Robots have been coming for decades. And Amazon is one company that will replace all their warehouse workers with robots at the first sign that is feasible. Amazon, of all companies, knows the limits of robots in automation as they have been trying to create fully automated warehouses for decades.

Or worse, because it is on the Internet, it must be true. I had a friend whose entire argument that some conspiracy theory was true because multiple people posted things on websites. I countered that I could set up a website to detail how that friend murdered a homeless person one summer.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean they're ordering so far ahead that they don't have electrical connection approval for the building

You would be surprised. Again Micron is making high bandwidth memory for AI instead of consumer DRAM. They have already announced this.

. Approval for connecting to the grid should happen before they even break ground for the building, after whcih it takes anywhere from one to three years *after* they break ground before the data center opens.

Again you would be surprised by the lack of logistics for some of these data centers. And no one is not saying it does not require that level of planning. What we are saying is some of these data centers are being built on hopes and dreams as the foundation.

Did you? The first assumption is paralegals were fired. How about the assertion that having or not having a paralegal makes no difference if the lawyer does no verification of something the lawyer is submitting to a court. Regardless of who wrote the filing, the lawyer submitting the filing is responsible for the contents.

but make sure you're referencing one single case that actually happened and add your cited source next to it so I can verify it.

1) I doubt AI is smart enough to do that. 2) Verifying the case exists is trivially easy as the citation explicitly tells everyone how to find the case. The difficulty is in locating cases that are relevant to the legal issue.

If your lawyer does not have a paralegal, you should fire them.

1) So your advice is to only hire lawyers from large law firms? Lawyers with a solo practice may not have a paralegal. 2) A

Law is a very paperwork intensive industry. Now a days you can get away with 1 paralegal serving multiple lawyers, but nobody and I mean nobody goes without a paralegal.

Again small one lawyer firms exist so what you are saying is untrue. They should use paralegals to lighten their work load, but that does not mean they must always use a paralegal.

Smaller shops may have only one person doing the work of a receptionist and paralegal and other things, but they will always have at least one person.

Again I know of one person firms that do not always use a paralegal.

It is inappropriate for a lawyer to have the paralegal check his work, but if you are not going to check it at all, that is incredibly stupid.

You wrote above: "I can easily see a lawyer order their paralegals to fact check their reports" You just contradicted what you wrote.

Stupid as in how the hell did you get into law school and how did they not kick you out.

You literally wrote: "Did they fire their paralegals? Because that would explain why they still have issues. I can easily see a lawyer order their paralegals to fact check their reports ". Do you not remember what you wrote?

You realize that this change has zero effect on any router, no matter its country of origin, that was on the market last Friday

You do realize that only applies to routers in inventory, not every single router forever. Every model of router will need to be "authorized" to be imported from now on.
