Er, and you think ARM is somehow not involved?
Yes. The Overton window has shifted dramatically to the right.
In order for the left to appear again, the window must shift back toward the center, and the far right must be de-normalized (by appearing extreme in comparison to the center).
for an LLM the SaturnV technical manuals and a conspiracy message board are the same.
This is well put, and I'm probably going to plagiarize it heavily.
you want to keep people in the job.
This may not be a goal of the company leadership. Most business AI "productivity" tools are being sold explicitly on the idea that they can replace 10-15% of the buyer's workforce.
European far-right has received Russian financing for decades. Probably US too.
The NRA was a funding conduit between the Kremlin and the GOP:
Afghanistan has basically always been a warzone. The territory there changed hands fairly often, especially after Alexander, centuries before it became the area identified as Afghanistan today.
The feuds between people groups there are from long before "Western nations" were even a thing. Some of them pre-date recorded history. The biggest mistake any Western nation has made is believing they could somehow establish peace by getting involved in conflicts older than Rome. The West can certainly be blamed for being foolish, for meddling, for not really helping in any way... but not for starting the fight. The responsible parties are long dead, their remains crumbled to dust.
Sort of.
In 2017 China passed a law requiring Chinese user data to be held within the country: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-privacy-censorship.html
Following that, Apple paid for a local data center which is managed by a Chinese company. Functionally this means that the PRC has access to all of the data stored there, because the government exerts direct control over Chinese companies, especially anything related to data collection and storage. Most likely, the PRC is able to access Apple users' iCloud data if it resides in the China-based data center.
In response to a 2017 Chinese law, Apple agreed to move its Chinese customers’ data to China and onto computers owned and run by a Chinese state-owned company.
Chinese government workers physically control and operate the data center. Apple agreed to store the digital keys that unlock its Chinese customers’ information in those data centers. And Apple abandoned the encryption technology it uses in other data centers after China wouldn’t allow it.
Independent security experts and Apple engineers said Apple’s concessions would make it nearly impossible for the company to stop Chinese authorities from gaining access to the emails, photos, contacts, calendars and location data of Apple’s Chinese customers.
This is not really different from what's been happening with other countries requiring their citizens' data to be held within their borders, and the UK has similarly forced Apple to withdraw the Advanced Data Protection for iCloud users: https://www.theverge.com/news/608145/apple-uk-icloud-encrypted-backups-spying-snoopers-charter
[...] British security services would have access to the backups of any user worldwide, not just Brits, and Apple would not be permitted to alert users that their encryption was compromised.
delicious smoked phone
Why would they put my phone in an ornate wooden box?
is this the great replacement I keep hearing about?
Maybe.
I wouldn't count on it, though.
A valid statement, and a pointed criticism, but also kind of sounds like an admission of guilt.
Keep a stiff upper lip, old chap.
