All bitcoins are legally questionable; but no: ones that can be traced to contract killings not just stealing do not trade at a discount.

It is about when Google realized GPUs were about to go exponential; they may have missed some opportunities but they were well ahead of the curve.

I am sure the are other typical Google fumbles that would have meant they were not the victor; but I am sure an equivalent service would be mainstream today if AI had not dramatically changed the economics. [also Google bought DeepMind in 2014; 'way beforehand' is and odd way to look at it]

Stadia is dead because if you have a data-center of GPUs you are using them for AI. It has nothing to do with input lag and graphics degradation.

I know not everyone loves them; but `Claude rewrite the performance bottlenecks in Rust` works so well it is hard to see the security surface area and harder reason about performance as something that should be paid in core.

Not ready for strait output on a special effects driven big budget show who are more then happy to pay someone to sit there for days rotoscoping. These are not the only professionals wanting to use special effects. Would anyone complain if MrBeast's video got the blend of the texture of his cloaths a bit rough?

You already can run the Go tsc in WASM using mature tools; but it further amplifies the memory and performance difference between the Rust version (which maps more cleanly onto WASM's design).

Wait WHAT! I am struggling to review the deluge of AI-written code (I assume like everyone else) but I never ever considered shipping something I didn't understand? I sometimes need the AI to walk me though it a bit; and I am not saying it couldn't smuggle though obfuscated code; but I at least an understanding of its apparent function.

Couldn't you use one motor attached to two props spinning in opposite directions?

Wouldn't an LLM just write a python script to convert an intermediate language without the triggering phrases and letter counting.

Conversely, I can guarantee they won't get the functionality demoed.
