Not all bugs are security related.
So love it or leave it, eh? Fucking fascist!

Your system's fucked up and your logic is fucked up too. "It's either China or US" is a false dichotomy. Europe has much better policing and protocols.
China's system is broken, but the US' system is broken too.
The oceans are getting warmer and therefore release CO2
Bro, disabling write means disabling security patches and updates. Not very secure, is it?

Bro, the title is literally 'The Cult of Costco', what did you expect LOL

True. The problem won't be solved in time. Shit will hit the fan.

IME big tech has in-house git servers...
Not sure why you're being downvoted.
Your take on EU's DSA/DMA/KYC and what else is not wrong, but it started in the US with the PATRIOT Act(or even earlier?). The US drives the surveillance in pair with EU. The US does "full take" of internet traffic. Both parties suck.
> What if there is a breakthrough in efficiency
Slashdot had an article a few days ago about analog computers using RRAM. Still in research in China, but given the amount of money involved it will probably be fast-tracked to Chinese data centers (if the tech delivers what's promised). The summary mentioned "up to 1000x the performance and 1/1000 the power requirements. Not buying that, but even 10x or 100x would wreak havoc on traditional GPU based digital solutions.
> Do you remember the housing bubble? The banks hedged then too. They bundled loans into mortgage-backed-assets that they sold on the investor markets -spreading the risk to individuals and hedge funds (aka our retirement accounts). When the bubble popped we all lost because of the banks hedging their bad loans.
That was more fraud and not so much hedging. They sold their risky investments. A hedge would be protecting their investments by shorting the AI companies, like the summary mentions.
I mean, come on. Everybody knows that. They could've implemented the Lua parts in C as well, and then compare performance.
> I have no idea what led them to this madness.
Wild guess? Another nation state asked for a favor. Either a EU state or perhaps USA?
> You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to think that the day-to-day running of a data centre
Grok in Memphis did just that, in addition to 150MW from utilities.
