Why do you think there is a broad push for TPM (aka Palladium) since windows 11 required it? The Great Lockdown(tm, me) is coming. TPM is the cutoff for hardware, but Intel Management Engine and AMD PSP could make the grade.

Math doesn't teach "thinking". It *disrupts* thinking. The human brain is not meant to process mathematics.

They *did* solve it. The oculus DK1 was the proof. The thesis was that you just needed low input latency, head tracking, and wide stereo vision. I've spent entire workdays in VR and never get an iota of sick.

The neo isn't an exception there. It's targeting the chromebook market, prices ranging from 99 to 399 mostly so sitting at 599 is at the upper end. It offers a slightly premium build but isn't straying too far into excessive BOM cost. A last gen phone SOC, a last-decade amount of RAM/SSD (seriously i have a 12 year old thinkpad with 8gb and 256 ssd), sRGB ips display with no custom panel cuts, etc. The BOM cost for the Neo isn't even 300, but is sold for 600/700.

then stop teaching math.

If something exists only as an abstraction dependent on observers to define and sustain it, then it does not possess objective reality in the same way physical objects are understood to exist. Therefore, mathematics, being entirely composed of such abstractions and dependent on human cognition for its meaning, can be concluded to not be real in any independent or objective sense.

> why do most smart phones use ARM chips

Because x86 is exclusively licensed to Intel, AMD, and Via(dead).

> if you have an Intel or AMD or Apple M chip all running at 4GHZ, the M chips uses less power.

Not true, Intel and AMD have surpassed M chips in perf/watt if you clock limit them, but they aren't wide enough designs (P core size and bus size) to keep up, as i stated. Apple blows money on silicon die area because they know they can sell the big ones in $5600 laptops. AMD is stuck mainly under $1500 laptops. Strix Halo is wide enough and powerful enough, but only on 4nm. If AMD ever puts a halo chip on the best TSMC node, it would sit side by side with Apple Silicon. Intel is still making podunk consumer 128b wide bus chips, but Lunar Lake gives apple M silicon a run for its money. If they ever gave it a wide bus it would humiliate Apple.

That's not entirely true.

ARM has always been low power, because it's mostly been in phone SOCs, clocked low.

ARM on Apple is efficient because of two things. VF curve optimization, they don't try to run at 6ghz like intel, they run between 3 and 4ghz. AND Apple uses the best TSMC node, and makes their CPU cores HUGE to compensate for lower clocks. ARM isa has nothing to do with it. x86 would behave the same if anyone used an advanced node, huge cores, and VF curve between 3-4ghz.

If they were anywhere near as dense, capacity ratings wouldn't be so low. I'm talking about reputable cells here, not "trustfire" or whatever.

Lifepo4 batteries are half as dense. Best i can find in 21700 cells is 3000mah, vs 6000 for regular lithium.

I think the CGI has held up fine. Is it perfect, no. But it's not The Last Starfighter either.

The acting they managed to pull for the series is, to this day, great. The main cast is basically a collection of all-stars, and guest actors ranged the gamut (most great, some bad, a few amazing ones)

If you display it in a 120hz container you can smoothly play both 24hz and 30hz material side by side.

JMS wrote what all good writers do, extrapolations upon then-current society, from historical lenses. The rise and fall of the nazi empire was well documented, he just applied it to a USA coded global earth government.

You can say Elon's name. He's not Voldemort. Voldemort was competent.

Then don't let it be one sided. Give this to EVERYONE. then EVERYONE has the same advantages and disadvantages this tech brings.
