Only if you assume every citizen of that country wholeheartedly supports the actions of their government.

The only places where that has ever been true have been the "sovereign nations" that amount to a redneck's shack with barbed wire and a load of misspelled signs around it, and even then they probably have moments where they privately wonder if their government might be insane.

It's nuts how not too long ago, progressives complained about centralized internet services, lack of net neutrality, the copyright cartel and the centralized financial system, but all of a sudden they love all of that once they realized they can use all of that to shit on the civil rights of people they don't like, because pesky things like the bill of rights gets in the way of them having the government do it.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I'm 44. I'll still take a window seat every damn time. As a non-frequent-flier I get very few chances to experience these views so they're novel and exciting, even over the ocean. Plus, as a Scot, being above the clouds and actually being able to see the mythical sky fireball makes for a pleasant change.

Hi Anonymous Comrade, nice job derailing this straight into a completely irrelevant pro-Russian diatribe. Extra potatoes for you tonight!

What exactly would this treaty entail, given that the US and Russia are not at war?

Never mind, doesn't matter. Time for your vodka ration.

The US isn't at war with Russia. What exactly would he be signing?

If I'm understanding this correctly, pKVM will enable a single, extensible kernel binary to be used by all Android hardware manufacturers. Vendors just need a pKVM vendor module that enables device-specific functionality. Diverse hardware platforms can now all share the same kernel, which means security patches for Android will, in the future, cover all devices instead of having each vendor having to roll/integrate their own.

The other purpose is to further the security model of Android by fully de-privileging third party code and providing a portable environment in which services are isolated from each another and the rest of Android.

Also, while phones might be the most prevalent use of Android they are far from the only application. Pushing this security model makes Android more attractive for all applications, not just consumer ones.

Google might be unpopular, but I can't see how this is a bad thing unless you really the idea of your data being exfiltrated (by someone other than Google).

Intel CEO didn't give him a piece of glass with his name on it so Big Baby Trumpington is acting out. All the kids have to get him a present or he throws a fit, waddles into to his room and Truths all over himself.

I'd assumed it was casino chips, tbh.

Be better/faster at selling AI.

I genuinely think if the majority of Americans were forced to question their position as the #1 country in the world, American society would immediately implode.

I suspect that even the American people who claim they don't think America is #1 still privately, secretly, maybe even shamefully, wave the #1 flag inside their own heads.

Sooner or later the combination of shock and cognitive dissonance will drive them insane...or, more likely, to World War 3.

But... they are under trade embargoes. So, the point is the embargoes aren't going to slow down their AI scale-up plans. They burn more energy, but since energy generation doesn't seem to be a problem in China that doesn't matter. Sitting there shouting "but your solution isn't ideeeeeal!" completely misses the point.

Maybe over the last 50 years instead of handing out massive dividends to investors and bonuses to board members they should have been ploughing money into maintaining and expanding their crumbling infrastructure.

Oh well, never mind, at least you all get to pay more for less energy and the investors continue to laugh away atop their piles of cash generated by a privately-owned public utility that essentially nobody can opt-out of paying.

Woah, did an ntsync developer sleep with your wife or something?

While it's certainly not going to double framerates in all games it's definitely not snakeoil. Some games show no improvement vs wineserver and fsync, others show fairly massive improvement; it depends on how many syscalls the game makes and the specific hardware it's running on.

PC gamers have always been excited by free performance boosts and why wouldn't they? Some of them need to rein in their expectations, sure, but that's no reason to piss on the entire project.

Lol. The market won't save you. Nobody will move for better customer service if the total price is higher. And come on, how often do you call a customer service line about jeans? It's telcos, energy, insurance, etc... they're the ones that'll use this, and once they're all using it, it absolutely won't matter that customer satisfaction drops off a cliff as soon as the reason for the call falls outside the normal parameters.

Sam Altman has the world's most expensive barrel of snake-oil and he's determined to sell all of it. ChatGPT and other LLMs like it have some very, very niche cases where they can effectively replace human workers. Remote customer service where the role is very simple and well-defined, employees essentially act programmatically following a rigid procedure, using "business friendly" language... that's obviously the one that maps most closely to an LLM's core competency.

I'm absolutely sure there have been "expert systems" for medical diagnostics for decades; I remember reading about them in school in the 1990s and I think they've been around a lot longer than that. They weren't AI-based, they were just programs where you answered a bunch of questions about the patient, symptoms, test results etc. and it came up with the most likely diagnoses.

Throwing ChatGPT into the medical diagnostics realm where it absolutely will hallucinate nonsensical bullshit seems utterly insane. I wouldn't trust ChatGPT to write a moderately complex Python script, why the fuck would I trust it to correctly diagnose an illness? We're absolutely nowhere near the point where AI should be trusted to do that. Might as well ask a parrot.

Not even going to touch on the costs, both environmental and financial. LLMs are nice toys, good for when you cba Googling something. That's about it.
