A human is no more capable of solving the halting problem than a computer.

And we aren’t doing some kind of magical logic when we humans create proofs. Sure naively general automated proof generation could be exponential in nature, but that hasn’t stopped us from mathematics research. There’s no reason it should stop computers either.

Intel 7nm doesn’t exist, and TSMC 5nm chips have been in production for months now.

Or some Russian hardware mysteriously is “stolen” and ends up in Belarus with some little green men to operate it.

Would they need to shoot down the entire constellation? I could imagine them threatening to shoot it down (and maybe a few demonstrations) would be enough to convince SpaceX to stop sending signals into Belarus.

Shoot down the satellites?

I assume the “Possible End of Progress” section is what the OP is referring to.

No, I think you are misunderstanding the thread or projecting something onto the statistics.

Just to put it in better perspective:

Coronavirus:

-5,974 confirmed cases

-170 deaths

-143 recoveries

-5,661 still sick

SARS:

-8,098 cases

-774 deaths

-7,324 recoveries

In a way this isn’t a “similarly spaced Mac” though - it’s using Xeon CPUs, ECC RAM, server motherboard with 6 memory channels, professional GPU, etc.

The problem is if you want a Mac tower desktop they don’t offer anything with consumer components.
