I am talking about optical processors.
The processor China uses to crank out a new LLM in a day.

Google it, it is not complicated.

No idea why you think Europe, or its politicians, are afraid about or are against the internet.

That does not make any sense.

It is exactly the same.

Just one technology lost and the other one won.

Similar to VHS versus .... well, don't remember how it was called.

I do not know much about the protocols of Gopher, but instead of HTML they used TeX/LaTeX.

Not sure about what you want to argue.

The processors will soon all be optical.

Anyway, *using* an LLM does not cost much.

So, I do not what your point is. I would assume that people/companies that spent the money to try that, know what they are doing.

Tim Berners-Lee invented hypertext while working at CERN.
Which has nothing to do with internet, but is a protocol and mark up language that runs

on top of the internet.

He invented the world wide web. And that is actually only a reinvention: as we had gopher already, and wide area information services (WAIS/WISE?)

The internet is DARPA and the follow ups: TCP/IP and the surrounding infra structure protocols like DNS.

But humans won't thrive when this ice age ends.
Most of them will perish.

Nope.
The artic stays the artic.
Much to short growth time to grow anything meaningful.
And: the soil there is not fertile at all. It is frozen swamps and moors.

To click where the troops should go, for everything else you use the keyboard.

Radiation hardening is only a extra thick extra layer of silicon on top of the chip.

Also keep in mind: the idea is to answer AI questions, not to train ANNs.

That's not wrong for being plain wrong, but for being a wrong blanket statement.

"Labor in Europe" is a range from Germany to eastern Bulgaria or southern Italy. You may not get Africa-cheap or India cheap, but not everywhere is expensive.

I don't think there is any kind of loyalty or gratitude to be expected on any side. If they stayed after their greencard process was done, it was probably because you were an ok-ish or better place to work.

Well... more than a quarter of Americans voted for a government that is against their own interests. Or just Google "funny things Americans say". How many Flat Earthers?

But even most of those 40 million are not stupid, they may indeed not be skilled in the very narrow band of skills most H1B are looking for. I don't think many H1B are looking for skilled graphic artists, teachers or musicians. so these people aren't a 1:1 match for the work visas.

But that ALSO means that what MS et al pulled here IS some kind of fraud. They did NOT fire 6000 janitors and now suddenly require 6000 rocket scientists. Give or take 20%, they fired 6000 tech people and are looking for 6000 tech people. They got hired for being smart, not for carrying heavy things. There is no reason why most of them should not be able to be retrained except for department A not knowing about upcoming demand in department B. That's management failure.

I for one was a long time lurker before I was ever a first time poster.

What zApp is that?
There once was a product, called zApp, a portable GUI library over Windows and several Unixes/Linux. Unfortunately the Mac port never came.
Then they sold it to Roguewave, and they enshitificated it - especially the price.

However since OpenAI's Wikipedia page clearly states that a rogue agent absolutely definitely pinky-swear didn't do this, I'm inclined to conclude that it's fake news.
