> This way, Manifest V3 might blow up in Google's face

I'm sure Google will have a new important security announcement at that point. All of these forked browsers can no longer have the widevine certification unless they conform to certain ad-friendly changes.

Hash competition from life might cause them to go extinct, and even if it happens again it just gets out-competed to extinction fast.

If we don't create the Torment Nexus first, somebody else who is much less responsible is gonna create the Torment Nexus before us. It's outright irresponsible to not take the lead, we might have to even give up on all safety concerns to make sure we make it to Torment Nexus IPO first.

How about this: Duplicates of the old posts are created on a new host using some import/export mechanic, but they also contain a cryptographic signature proving ownership of the old posts (utilizing some secret only the original poster would have access to).

When a reference to a post becomes invalid because it's underlying host is gone, the other host holding those references tries to find new duplicate posts with the correct signature, and if it finds them, updates the broken old references to point to these new duplicates. If it doesn't find any duplicates with a matching signature, it leaves the references broken and has some cooldown before it tries to fix them again.

I love the concept of multiplayer-first without needing intricate networking knowledge. I'm actually working on a similar system for old retro games.

However, the demo games you have come across as too trivial and trashy to really show off what your system is capable of. I highly recommend putting a lot of effort into making something that shines there.

Do you object against calling people "farmers" because their way of operating is not the same as how farmers operated 500 years ago?

Doesn't that support the point?

Computers came in and "took" the job of calculating numbers (I assume usually budgets and finances), but instead of every layman just using a computer to organize their company's finances, they still hire a professional to use the computer to organize the company's finances. The role shifted, but it wasn't eliminated.

You are absolutely right, thank you for pushing back. Upon further examination, I've confirmed that the referenced paper says no.

There are asteroids with concentrations of precious metals more valuable than earth's entire economy. Why don't we just send up spaceships to mine them and send the haul back to earth? What country would say no to free money?

After all, it's just an engineering challenge, not impossible.

You aren't allowed to use the same super cheap subscriptions if your company is big enough.

You could also transfer the heat to tungsten rods and drop them on rivaling earth-bound data centers.

I have a question, is the short lifespan of GPUs because they get worn out and are destroyed, or because they get outdated by the ever expanding demands of the AI bubble?

Because if it's the later, I would assume that growth would not continue at the same rate after the bubble bursts?

I agree with your point (that AMD does a lot more harm than what they are indignant about) but not the way you go there. If emotional abusive behavior is not "physical harm" because it's just emotions, then financial abusive behavior is not "physical harm" either because it's just numbers. When you consider what incredible harm being emotionally unwell can lead to, I don't think it deserves to be dismissed.

AMD is clearly just putting on a performance here though, using the backlash they get as a weapon.
