The list of people who will find that funny is planetesimally small.

It's going to get cheaper because, as you say, it will go onto a mass produced pre-prepped chip which will be loaded by machines. Humans will only have to take the samples and the machine will do most of the prep work. But my thought is that it won't get a lot faster because it takes time for the reactions to occur.

I suspect that this would be more tedious(and potentially less flattering); but you'd think that the metric you'd really care about for the juche-computer would be component availability.

Going by cost is interesting if you are trying to get the attention of balance-of-trade types and tariffs and dumping hawks; but it's an almost perfectly wrong measure if you are trying to catch any "oops, turns out that only the Chinese vendors so hungry they are considering offshoring to Vietnam still make a random passive or unexciting tolerances switching IC because it's a zero-margin part with no real room for differentiation that everyone who could got out of years ago" type situations.

If it's a real, drop-dead, 'national security' problem some of those are probably less serious, if there's a much fancier TI part that is overkill for the job but could be subbed in for only 3-4 factors of ten more; but if you want to keep economically viable civilian production open or it doesn't have a direct upmarket analog that could get really awkward; even if you've ensured that all the fancy logic ICs, copper, and gold are geopolitically friendly.

That's basically the Nexperia story, slightly simplified. Philips decided to private equity semiconductors generally; NXP decided to shove a bunch of the boring parts out to WingTech; then 'oops' European manufacturers who need diodes and ESD protection parts they thought were cheap jellybean stuff have cars piling up on the line because they can't get them.

Obviously losing a really cutting edge capability isn't preferred; but it's also the sort of thing that people notice because those tend to be pretty valuable; while low and middling capabilities, including ones that are sophisticated enough that you can't just throw money at restoring them fast, are things that are voluntarily surrendered because getting rid of low margin products makes line go up.

Are you an LLM trained on the political cartoons in The Onion?

They're not going to buy a weird brand. That's way too exploratory.

And I won't buy a Bezos brand.

I won't buy American any more either, though. I'm over that shit. American automakers can't make a car worth a fuck, period.

Yeah, but it costs tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars and weeks of study to do that. You have to study which phage will work before it's deployed, and this is inherently expensive and time consuming. It will presumably get cheaper, but it probably can't get much faster.

America factually sold war supplies including fuel and metals to the Axis. As a Nazi, you should know this and be thankful.

There is no such thing. The only actually correct thing is the real world. Everything else is an approximation, and this is one of them. There are plenty of minor players who will pay for cheaper training. It certainly doesn't matter to Google whether it will produce good results. Arguably no approach will, so why not just use this?

You can relay DHCP.

Netbooting desktops is one of those ideas that sounds great and then isn't. The HDD isn't that expensive. AFAICT nobody does it except for clusters and POS which is worthless without the network anyway. Plus it's an opportunity for an attacker on your network to get your machine to boot another system so they get access to a whitelisted MAC.

Then the ballot gets checked against a list of voters, they're not on it, and it gets thrown away.

Now shut the fuck up or I'm going to go donate more money to Wild Hornets so they can buy more drones so they can blow up the Yandex facility "you" "live" in

Thinking you're better than other people because you bring home more money is only one of the many reasons why you're a little bitch.

If you were smart enough to know that filtering doesn't have to be all encompassing we might believe you actually do the things you claim you do for a living.

But no one does.

It's productive in the sense that it brings clarity to what the fuck one is talking about, instead of leaving people to wonder. Your observation is well-made, however.

Well, if they're trained on average forum users...

Of course it's a POS, it's a Ford. But I'm not mad at the Maverick for having the form factor that it has, I just don't think it's a truck by any reasonable definition any more than a RAV4 or CR-V is a SUV. If it's based on a car platform, it's a car.

Ironically for this whole conversation I think most people who buy full frame pickups would be better off with something else, Most pickups will never tow and most 4WD pickups will never go off-road, at least not under the original owners. But I also think that there's a real market for a full frame EV pickup, and it would sell both to people who should and shouldn't buy it based on how they actually use the vehicle.
