Comment EU Depenency (Score 1) 205

EU can cry out loud about decoupling from USA, but there is a problem of no domestic hardware. Mobile: Depend on Google/ IOS from software point, they can fork androind the same way China did and come with their on mobile platform (HarmonyOS), but who is going to manufacturing ship form them? Kirin, X-Ring01, etc is China CPU. MediaTek is Taiwan Qualcomm is USA Tensor is google Exynos is Samsung Etc, EU doe not have their own mobile CPU, while they can develop their own mobile OS, they need to design their own CPU for it, otherwise they still depend on China or USA. Home Computer: The same story. They can fork Linux and create their own OS, but what CPU will be used? Intel / AMD? Even if they switch to ARM only Nvidia and Qualcomm has it at the moment. RISK-V is not there yet. As a result they will depend on USA or China for CPU. (I am not talking about other components such as SSD, Memory, etc) Only China / Taiwan or USA can supply it. And finally SERVER side: EU does not have their domestic CPU capable of scaling as AMD/ Intel (Xeon / Epyc), even if they switch to ARM, again only USA based CPU it capable. Nvidia, Ampere. Amazon Graviton is proprietor and never will be licensed outside of Amazon. So they can talk about it and it might at some point they replace software from USA to domestically built, but from hardware stand point of view they will never achieve independence.

I do not mean where it is built. I mean their own architecture (ISO), when they have their own architecture, that will not depends on x86, than it can be done. Right now EU does not have a capability to build and implement their own architecture. Even ARM initiative was failed for 2 years due to their burocratic incompetence. Amazon have their own CPU (ARM Based Gravoton), Google have their own CPU (Tensor) also ARM base, Apple sislicone, etc.. Video (Nvidia/AMD) , Mobile infrastucture, heck even Chine build domestic CPU and OS (Harmony) and CPU based on RISC-V. So untill EU will not have their own, they can screem all they want, but it is not going to happens.

"The theory had been worked out by three people: Bennett, Trimaldi, and Zakharov. Hence the name. I was surprised to learn that they were of my generation — they had announced their discovery a year after our departure. The resistance to it, of course, was tremendous. At first no one even wanted to take the project seriously. Then it reached the forum of the UN. For some time it went from subcommittee to subcommittee — it seemed that the project would be buried in endless deliberation. In the meantime the research was making rapid progress, improvements were introduced, large-scale experiments were carried out on animals, then on humans (the first to submit to the procedure were the originators themselves — Trimaldi was paralyzed for some time, the dangers of betrization to adults having not been discovered yet, and this stopped the project for the next eight years). But in the seventeenth year after zero (my personal reckoning: zero was the takeoff of the Prometheus) a resolution for the universal implementation of betrization was passed; And this was only the beginning of the struggle for the humanization of mankind (as the textbook put it). In many countries parents refused to have their children treated, and attacks were made on the first betrization centers; fifty or sixty of them were completely destroyed. But illegal organizations to combat betrization were formed throughout the world. All kinds of methods were employed, from the forging of medical certificates stating that the operations had been performed, to the assassination of the doctors who performed them. A period of turmoil, of repression, of coercion and resistance, lasted some twenty years. The period of large-scale violence was followed by an apparent calm. Apparent, because it was then that the conflict of the generations began. The textbook passed over this with a few generalities, for perfectly obvious reasons. I resolved to consult source materials for more detailed information, but meanwhile continued my reading. The new order became firmly established only when the first betrizated generation had children. About the biological aspect of the process the book said nothing. There were a great many paeans, on the other hand, for Bennett, Zakharov, and Trimaldi. A proposal was made to number the years of the New Era from the time of the introduction of betrization, but was not accepted. The reckoning of dates did not change. The people changed. The chapter concluded with a ringing encomium to the New Epoch of Humanism.” Return From The Stars - Stanislaw Lem 1961
