Look on the bright side, we all have it now

I have no personal experience of doing that, but I have drawn things on the edges of the pages when the book was closed...

Actually, I think the legal term might be "latches", but I haven't seen the original promise.

Still, if anyone feels like suing Whoop, they've probably got a good case.

Maybe this is part of the "replace".

IIUC, the plan is that if the chip doesn't receive the appropriate acknowledgement from a remote server it will "refuse to boot". Like many games.

It's doable, but I can't imagine anyone buying it. (Well, I've got a weak imagination in some directions.) This seems pretty much a guarantee to put the vendor out of the business. Even within the US one probably couldn't rely on getting acknowledgement to proceed. (And it would require not only the chip to be designed, but also the motherboard would need to have a special trace running to each of the "protected" chips. And you couldn't run it off-line.

The estimate I've heard is "about 5 years and a tiny bit more". Of course, this depends on exactly which chips you are talking about. IIUC, Holland is still the only source for the best photolithography machines. That may slow them down a bit...unless the US pisses off the EU.

Well, Trump, and for at least the last few decades the Republicans, are worse, but the Democrats are no shining light of wisdom, either.

That's a weird definition of "programmed" when applied to a neural net.

I think you're assuming that they understand to capabilities and problems....and I think that's wrong.

That would be an interesting negotiating position, but there don't seem to be any formal negotiations.
Currently what they seem to be saying is "We made the promise you wanted, and then you changed the terms of the deal. So we're reconsidering."

Not really. It's expensive to do development in the US. This used to be paid for because the US was where people wanted to work, so by doing your development here you got to pick the most talented. This has stopped being true.

To be fair, this isn't entirely Trump's fault. The relative advantage of the US has been going down as other countries recovered from WWII. So we really needed to concentrate on the high return items...like high tech. As long as we kept ahead in R&D, we still had a slight advantage. But slight. Cut the benefits even slightly, and it becomes more advantageous to do development somewhere else...Japan, Germany, just where depends on what kind of expertise you're developing.

Now tariffs raise the cost of doing business, and mistreatment of foreigners decreases the willingness of experts to work here. So Trump has put a double whammy on was was a slight advantage. E.g. there has already been a noticeable increased tendency of resident experts in various fields to look for work outside the US.

"or the adults that made an informed decision in Election Day"

Wait, that's not what happened.

The people who voted for him can be asked why, and their answers are either racist in which case they were informed about Trump, or economic in which case they were not... Because Trump was reasonably going to do racist things, but no one informed could think he was going to do positive things for the economy. So lots of them were in fact not informed.

Notified, maybe. Not informed. They refused information.

"If the United States could survive a conspiracy to allow Biden's puppetmasters to run the country"

What the country can't survive is a conspiracy to turn people into idiots, which as you prove, has been wildly successful.

"There's a whole generation of angry young men having their futures torn away, only unlike the MAGAs they're not ignorant and gullible"

You can sort the glass with automation now though, so the big problem with glass is really breakage. The broken glass could however be mixed, it would produce a lower quality brown glass but no doubt we could find a use for that.
