Some of this stuff is above my current knowledge of AI hardware, so maybe I missed it, but this didn’t really explain why x86 is better suited for this application? Is it just because chips already exist that do this very specific thing that they need them to do?

This is one of the many reasons you’re not in charge of IT security.

That’s not true. People, like you and I, would just be able to make movies and tv shows etc now.

Microsoft and cos security is infinitely better than 99.99% of companies can manage self hosting their own stuff. They give guarantees too.

Eh, why should I care who made a movie if I enjoyed it?

If it leads to more and better movies then honestly that doesn’t bother me. With every big evolution of a market there are jobs that become no longer necessary, that’s just how the world works. Sucks to be one of the people in those industries/markets, but if they’re no longer needed…
The first thing that went through my mind when seeing it was “holy cow, this is going to lead to so many amazing indie movies and shows!”.
- Comment on FTC drops case over Microsoft's $69 billion Activision Blizzard deal 22 hours ago:
😆 This reads like they’re choosing to drop it because they want to focus on other things, when the reality is that just the other day they lost their appeal to have it blocked lol.
Lina Khan turned the FTC into an absolute joke, and they’re going to have a hard time undoing all the damage she did. They never should have even attempted to block this acquisition.

The “checkmark wars” begin. People using it as a sign of importance etc and as a way to dismiss others opinions.
Bluesky just doing their best to get straight back to pre-elon left-wing-echo-chamber Twitter. They learned nothing.
- Comment on When will all the folks complaining about loss of Snap and health insurance realize the GOP wants us to die and has ZERO empathy for fellow Americans? 22 hours ago:
Fauci was already working for the NIH long before trump was president. Trump didn’t hire him. Fauci was chosen as a member of the Covid task force by trump, correct - along with 11 other government department employees.

Fauci was not “hired” by Trump. That is a taskforce made up of a bunch of people from various government entities. They didn’t take a new job. Fauci already worked for the NIH, a government branch. He was not hired by Trump.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 22 hours ago:
Facts don’t care about your feelings or blind beliefs.
The irony of you saying this is hilarious.
Bro read my comments, the factual evidence is there right in front of you.
You aren’t saying facts, you’re saying opinions - most of which are “i think x, y, z” and “i don’t believe x when they say y”.
That Israel has the firepower to completely obliterate Gaza in two days does not mean that anything less than that is fine.
You missed the point. If Israel want to commit genocide against Palestinians, and don’t care about the world accusing them of genocide, they would just do it. Why would they draw it out for months/years? If they’re going to have everyone sanctioning them and shouting “Genocide!” at them, they’d just get it over and done with and move on. Drawing it out over months/years would just make it worse for them. It makes no sense.
You want it to be a genocide. You’re looking for articles that support your view. You’re looking for “facts” that support your view. You’re not looking at it with an impartial eye and what is actually happening, you’re looking at it with a “they’re committing genocide so everything they do is with an end goal of genocide” lens.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 1 day ago:
You have zero factual arguments to support your claim lol.
Israel’s leaders are on record many, many times saying that the end game is Hamas to be eliminated. You choose not to believe them because you want there to be a genocide happening so you can be outraged about it.
Again - if a genocide was on the menu, this war would have been over months ago because Gaza would be a crater and everyone in there would be dead. Israel clearly don’t care about people saying they’re committing a genocide when they’re not, so if they did want to they’d just do it.

25 upvotes and 4 downvotes for an easily verifiable lie. Fantastic.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 3 days ago:
Yes, intent matters. Hamas, the internationally recognised terrorist organisation, committed terrorist act atrocities against Israelis and started this war. Israel rightfully will not stop until Hamas are not only removed from power in Gaza, but completely eliminated. That’s the “good faith” that Israel are acting in. If they just wanted to commit genocide they would have razed the whole place long ago.
That’s really all that needs to be pointed out - if they wanted to kill them all, they would have long ago. They have the means and opportunity to do so. They haven’t and they aren’t. Why do you think they’d draw it out while facing all this backlash? They’d just wipe them from the face of the earth and go “yeh we did it, what are you gonna do about it?”.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 4 days ago:
Am I supposed to come up with new arguments every time? Israel are trying to eliminate Hamas. That’s the goal. Sorry if I keep repeating it. Maybe I’m repeating it because you refuse to acknowledge it?
You say:
This give Israel the right to do whatever it takes
No, I say that Hamas started the war and Israel are trying to finish it.
I say Israel aren’t committing a genocide because their intent is only to stop an internationally recognised terrorist organisation.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 5 days ago:
Intent matters, as does the overall goal.
Israel are trying to eliminate Hamas, the internationally recognized terrorist organisation. That’s it. They’re not trying to wipe out the Palestinian population.
- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 5 days ago:
“Genocidal acts” doesn’t mean that a genocide is happening. “Destruction of civilian infrastructure” is an “act of genocide”. That happens in almost every conflict in the world, and not every one is a genocide.
A genocide is a specific thing. For me to be convinced that there is a genocide happening, specific things need to happen and with a specific intent - and those things aren’t happening in Gaza. Hamas want a genocide. They’re very open about this. Israel are trying to eliminate Hamas. If Hamas surrendered, the killing would stop.
Unfortunately in war there are casualties. Casualties will be increased when one of the parties at war - Hamas - use civilians, including kids, as “meat shields”, like putting their military bases in schools and hospitals as Hamas has been factually proven to do. Hamas have been caught faking civilian deaths and casualty numbers too, and they’re an internationally recognised terrorist organisation - they are not to be trusted, no matter what you think of Israel. Again - Hamas openly call for the genocide of Jews and Israelis. Very openly.
A question for you - if you were to agree that Israel are doing what they are doing in retaliation to what Hamas did on October 7, and will not stop until Hamas are defeated, would you still consider that a genocide? If Hamas surrendered and Israel stopped killing Palestinians, would you still say it was a genocide?
Another question - are you open to reconsidering your views? Or are you steadfast in them but expect me to consider changing mine?

The position that what Israel are doing is a genocide is the sticking point, and one that is highly contested. I don’t believe that what they’re doing is, because they’re not trying to erase an entire national or ethnic group - just Hamas.

Cheapest to collect and use there and then? Sure, out of all new power generation.
But when it comes to using the power when it’s needed most, solar is very expensive because….well it produces nothing when the sun goes down and people need power. It then relies on storage, which is expensive.

- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 1 week ago:
Ok so your issue is that police abuse their powers, powers that regular citizens do not have. I agree that’s a huge problem and it should be addressed regularly.
That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand though. Sovereign citizens live in la-la-land. There are no special hidden laws about “travelling vs driving” where you don’t need a drivers license to drive on public roads. There are laws that allow police to speed and go through red lights.
- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 2 weeks ago:
They REALLY do. What you call “situational allowances” are what we’re talking about. You can’t turn on some flashing lights and speed through red lights to get to a crime legally. They can.
Police have special powers that the rest of us don’t have. If they didn’t then police wouldn’t even exist.

Ok yeh no, you need to either get some help or stop with this or it will make things even worse for you. You’re developing romantic feelings for a fictional character and an AI bot. There’s no possible way this ends well for you if you let it continue going the way it is.
