The military analysts point to the age bubble in China as the tell for Taiwan. They really can’t play the long game because of the population bubble. Most project that peak invasion opportunity is around 2027 and the risk goes down substantially after 2030 and then 2035.
We are less than 10 years away from the final fab node. The exponential growth is over. It actually already is over as the people on the bleeding edge are already at the end.
Most people are ignorant of the implications here. Silicon chips are the only time in human history when a civilian industry grew faster than the largest military could finance. There is no replacement. We will return to the ways of 80+ years ago. The next major age of technology is biological, but we are still centuries away from that future.
TSMC is all that stops the invasion of Taiwan. If TSMC is not relevant even for a moment, China will invade to end their civil war. You can count on NK invading SK at the same time and taking Samsung.
China already has domestic incentives in place for home grown GPUs. They will likely displace Nvidia entirely within 5-8 years.
Ultimately, a unified architecture will win. The reason CPUs cannot handle the load of AI is due to the L2 to L1 cache bus throughput. It requires a major redesign, but it is a solvable problem. The real problem is that that kind of redesign takes the full 10 year hardware design cycle time to create from scratch.
AI is still not going away in the long term. The present world is just like the early days of the microprocessor. The 6502 was little more than a toy. It is still in all western digital hard drives. The fundamental architecture is still the same in all CPUs. It was the systems we built around them that made them useful. A base inference model is primitive. The AI that owns the future is agentic systems.
That will burst it. This is why the billion dollar put. He had this info in advance.
Probably staged this to try and backpedal open weights models, but that ship has sailed.

Opt out is idiotic. Don’t buy this shit! You to not own it. What fuckwit dumbass rents a fridge someone else controls for $2k. I bet it has a camera inside to sell grocers a list of what to mark up for your custom pricing nonsense because you bought a billboard that screams I’m a gullible moron with more money than sense.
Gptel is better than ellama. Ollama only runs small junk. Llama.cpp is way better because it will split CPU and GPU and run bigger quantized models, especially large MoEs on a 16 GB GPU.
I started trying to mess with image-dired today for a few minutes to try and get my training images and caption files to sync and scroll, but didn’t get very far before just tiling… such a noob
The ability to filter information using proprietary devices and software in the kernel of all of these garbage devices is the core issue. Trusting the owners of that code is to surrender your right to unbiased and unfiltered information. I am not at all concerned about hacking or security by small insignificant players. I am massively concerned about the extremely powerful using the leverage they have normalized and embedded to become tyrannical neo feudal lords in a fascist society. Google IS the biggest danger by orders upon orders of magnitude. Trusting them is to give up democracy entirely.
All mobile devices are proprietary. Android is a scheme to make a Linux kernel that has everything ready to deploy except the actual hardware drivers for the processor and modem. Manufacturers take this kernel and add their proprietary binaries at the last possible moment. That source code is not available anywhere. The hardware documentation is not available anywhere publicly. Every device model is just different enough that reverse engineering one does nothing transferable to any other. The level of reverse engineering is extreme and requires destroying many devices using things like fuming nitric acid and fluorine solutions just to have a small chance at reading some parts of embedded memory. These are some of the most dangerous and hazardous chemicals humans make, and you still need xray equipment, special microscopes with stepping automation to stitch images, and a ton of time.
This is moving to a tyrannical surveillance state of fascist authoritarianism. Open source software is a major front on the line of real democracy. This is a nuclear bomb released on that democracy. You fear the wrong pirates and criminals. The biggest threats always come from within. Trust as a mechanism is fundamentally antithetical to democracy. Everyone demanding trust is a traitor to democracy. Trust is the key of the fascist kingdom. Once that key is held, democracy has failed regardless of whomever is aware of the situation. Democracy requires fully informed citizens with skepticism and the liberal right to decide for themselves even when they are wrong. This is impossible without full access to information. The source of that information cannot be filtered at any level. We already have the narrowest bottleneck of available information sources in the last 1000 years of history. There are only 2 relevant web crawlers. All search queries filter through one or both of these two and the results from these are not deterministic. Two people searching for the same thing at the same time will get very different and very biased results. This is individualized regardless of any protections people imagine they have in place. Outside of the internet there is no real unbiased media. A dozen people own it all. Even the garbage claiming to comb all sources is drawing the line and dictating what is center right or left is. Anyone at the grassroots level is impossible to find because there are no organic unbiased search results. The results are all filtered junk full of agenda and bias.
This is the real big picture abstract issue in play. When the maga traitors said this was a coup, they absolutely ment that. Mobile devices are all rental garbage someone else controls. Your computer likewise has a secret operating system running in the background that you do not control. In Intel it is called the Intel Management Engines or ME. This started with Intel VPro in 2008. AMD adopted it is 2013. Arm has one too.
All that is left is to steal your right to have a digital front door by eliminating DNS filtering and all of these devices will be controlled and connected directly by someone else that is watching and listening at all times. You are already in tethers as a digital slave that can be bought and sold for exploitation and manipulation without your consent or knowledge using your digital presence. You have not effectively realized the implications of that surrendering of rights to citizenship with full autonomy. The next step is to redefine the word citizen to be functionally equivalent to slave. “You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it” because if you are not, you will be dead. This is the death of democracy. My words will echo in your head years from now. The dystopia to come is beyond anything you can presently imagine and there is no way to stop it now short of taking up arms and playing Luigi if you are able.
The consolidation of wealth is what really made Caesar. That was the death of the republic. It was not Caesar. We are all a product of our time and environment. It was the consolidation of great wealth. All that wealth did not give a shit about Rome, it went to Constantinople for better opportunities at first chance because consolidation of wealth is treasonous. It is as it was, just look at outsourcing and off shoring, or the disgusting mismanagement of banking and housing that have made the American worker completely uncompetitive with Asian counterparts at the same standard of living. No, I have no fear of the boogie man or foreign state actors. I am terrified of the criminal that normalizes domestic trust, actively manipulates and exploits me, and steals my purchased property. That is a real monster.
Democracy is dead. Welcome to the neo dark ages. Take up arms.
pipe pager?
How well they pay IT? I think we just found a new anon the school shooter.
Last I checked schools are so fucked up they use proprietary exploitive data slaver garbage for everything digital, like digital rape slavery of all kids with no alternative. If they cannot get the IT fundamentals correct, this is just target practice.
Uhh no… Idiots are fascists. Some idiots may call themselves liberal but that doesn’t make it so. Liberals by definition cannot be fascist. The idiots are those that let fascists parade as anything but.
Why is the UK such a hell hole all the sudden? I’ve never had such a terrible opinion of the place until now with encryption and authoritarian fuckwitism against the last bastion of real democracy on the internet.
Do any of these types of units manage to play something like Super Metroid with perfect controls to the point of original ROM glitch key combos? Even the switch native emulation failed at that one when I tried before I quit anything Nintendo related for their lack of ethics, theft, and extortion business practices. I got irritated when playing emulation if I could not play according to the old archived guides for the game. The emulated controls couldn’t do the same original key combos even when doing so programmatically with a microcontroller.
The article… Locking the bootloader is ceasing to sell a product that can be owned. It is a rental controlled by someone else actively, not just passively through a proprietary orphan kernel. It is action taken to filter, manipulate, and exploit. That is actually a soft coup against democracy itself, if you grasp the role of informed autonomous citizens and the reason ignorance is never an excuse in a democracy. The mechanism of trust is a fascist tool that is diametrically opposed to a liberal democracy. Trust in the chain of information flowing to a citizen is to subjugate and steal the right of citizenship. This is fundamentally simple with enormous implications. The naive stupidity of people blind to this fundamental issue is truly sad. The transition to actively exploiting the device, is to surrender democracy to a traitorous pirate if you purchase one of these. It is not small thing to shrug off. This is a pivotal moment and issue that will create an unimaginatively dark dystopia. The problem with coups is only the speed at which they are executed. This is a foundational cornerstone taken slowly where people are far to stupid to see it and resist in time to make a difference.
They are going out of business and should be considered compromised by piracy. Buying a One Plus is supporting a global criminal organization.
Conservatism is collapsing into irrelevance as a long term commitment.
I was thinking more about the overall bubble bursting.
