So I was interested in what drives this thing, the Myriad 2 VPU and found out this is right up Intel's ally because it's proprietary from top to bottom. Everything needs software only they can provide and naturally comes with conditions. I found a presentation which clearly shows what their priorities are.
Not being backward compatible with x86 had nothing to do with it?
Considering it was for the high-end server market, not really. The bigger issue was not helping GCC and other free compilers make a port. Intel wanted companies to use their compiler but not everyone did (it's a big hassle and that means $$$) so you ended up with a high number of companies that wouldn't support Itantium until GCC was ported. This catch 22 of "no GCC port until Itanium is in the market and no market until there is a GCC port" is what killed Itanium.
Underestimating AMD, nothing?
AMD is still trying to edge it's way into the server market.
Can't really blame 'em for throwing up their hands and giving the market what it asks for.
Except they didn't do that. What the market wanted was better support and to do that they had to be more open. Their refusal resulted in the death of Itantium.
Honestly, Intel is hurting itself badly by insisting on everything they make being x86, poorly documented and overpriced. Desktops are the only place that x86 even matters (due to Windows). Itantium and their IoT tanked not because it was bad but because of their own bad behavior. Intel deserves it's slow death because they have earned it by being greedy jerks who would rather sabotage the competition than make their product more accessible.
Current federal motor vehicle safety rules prevent the sale of self-driving vehicles without human controls. Automakers must meet nearly 75 auto safety standards, many of which were written with the assumption that a licensed driver will be in control of the vehicle.
Why not just revise the standards with the possibility of automated control in mind? I feel like this is subverting safety measures that are still relevant.
“You probably wouldn’t be able to make a universal, Mirai-style exploit for this flaw because it lacks the elements of simplicity and reproduceability,” Karas said, noting that the exploit requires that an attacker be able to upload at least a 2 GB file to the Web interface for a vulnerable device.
it's worth noting that using you can easily send several gigabytes of zeros if you can mark the communication as using gzip compression.
And one much harder to answer is 'who isn't compromised.
Companies that don't needlessly connect things to the internet (which is nobody). Companies that invest in real security instead of faux security (which is nobody).
It's almost as if MBAs running businesses think security is a pointless expense.
Let's see, there's releasing people's personal details, gutting the EPA and enabling bad practices with coal, appointing a guy that is trashing FCC rules that kept the internet free, the total disregard for women, enabling neo-nazis, etc. Suffice it to say, there are lots of things.
The rest of your post is garbage accusing me of things I never claimed. People lash out when they feel threatened or hurt which is why I'm expecting them to behave in such a manner.
There's a reason for that. You see, the energy contained within a Time Lord is their soul and as we all know gingers have no souls which is why you never see a ginger Time Lord.;)
So far, every time they have quoted Elon Musk about the dangers of AI, it's always been out of context. Seems like a clickbait making situation that they just can't resist.
I don't think the idea would be intimidation as much as it would be retribution. It would be taking money from a man that only likes himself and money.
Having an affair is not illegal. Whether it is "wrong" or not is none of your business unless you are one of the people in the relationship.
Actually, as a fellow member of society, I have a vested interest in maintaining the current perception that people having affairs be reviled.
You should learn to focus on your own life, and be less judgemental about other people.
You are judging me for judging others and telling me that I shouldn't! Your hypocrisy is quite delicious.:)
Look around the world. People have affairs everywhere. But how much people are publicly subjected to the moral judgement of others varies widely and is negatively correlated with quality of life.
And?
Would you rather live in Saudi Arabia?
A non-sequitur? How cute!
Learn to be tolerant,
Get yourself a dictionary because there is a large difference between tolerating people and accepting their bad behavior. I tolerate them just fine.
I believe the key is to not write as if Linux is a perfect solution but rather merely a better solution and then to defend it in such a manner without involving ego.
Then again, maybe trolls just don't like me enough to even bother.:'(

"How hard could it be?" -_-

Their big claims to fame:
- 8+ years of heritage. Close to $60M invested into technology development
- Proven architecture. 100% internally developed. Strong IP position
Buy into the lock-in now! -_-

... gonna be cheap.
The POWER8 and POWER9 by IBM are completely open. See also: https://www.raptorcs.com/TALOS...
You shouldn't be so hard on yourself.
you have nothing. You demonstrated nothing. You are nothing.
U MAD? ;)

Retribution for what exactly?
Let's see, there's releasing people's personal details, gutting the EPA and enabling bad practices with coal, appointing a guy that is trashing FCC rules that kept the internet free, the total disregard for women, enabling neo-nazis, etc. Suffice it to say, there are lots of things.

This guy didn't have nearly enough fiber in his diet. ;)
Tesla's gigafactory is not going to be able to produce enough batteries for grid level storage.
It's and expensive and slow process to make one gigafactory. It's much cheaper and faster to make the next 10 gigafactories.
The only thing they have shown to the public is a bunch of renders, not even a prototype or a mockup. It wouldn't a good bet to say this is vaporware.
still not what the doctor wanted... A GINGER!
There's a reason for that. You see, the energy contained within a Time Lord is their soul and as we all know gingers have no souls which is why you never see a ginger Time Lord. ;)
Probably something we should consider, this guy isn't a crackpot.
what part of "out of context" didn't you understand?
So far, every time they have quoted Elon Musk about the dangers of AI, it's always been out of context. Seems like a clickbait making situation that they just can't resist.
I completely agree. It would be bad news for everyone.
people who use violence to intimidate others
I don't think the idea would be intimidation as much as it would be retribution. It would be taking money from a man that only likes himself and money.
...for people to start throwing molotov cocktails at Trump's properties. Seriously, I think stuff like that is just around the corner.
Why don't you go full on fearmonger if you are going to cite zerohedge?
Retired Green Beret Warns: "There Could Be A Nuclear Strike Against The US Coming Soon"
That was "news" from just yesterday.
Stop using zerohedge because that site is tabloid garbage.

and mind your own business.
Nah, you can fuck right off. ;)
Two wrongs don't make a right.
I never claimed it was right, just that I feel they are undeserving of money or pity.
Also, many married people cheat.
You speak as if that somehow makes it less wrong.
