It's international but I wonder how many people know that about third of ASML scanners and steppers are made in Connecticut. And all their light sources are made by ex-Cymer in San Diego.
I'm genuinely curious. The parent buys the phone/laptop. And when little Timmy logs in to his phone the account should be in a family/group as a child account.
What's with the obsession with actually verifying identity? Just make a web API available to determine if the current user is configured as a child account. Why isn't that enough to gate-keep access to adult content?
Timmy's friend has a big brother that lets him use his ID. There will always be ways to circumvent this. The only functional difference between a simple setting in the browser and requiring ID attestation is how much surveillance it allows the government to do.
According to this logic, why ban anything? There is always someone who can help you overcome the ban.
So, let children buy alcohol and cigarettes, why not also drugs?
Identification verification doesn't solve that either. His friend could still hand him his phone after logging in and verifying, right? Unless they're doing facial scans the entire time the user is reading adult content.
>As long as you keep the cost down, you will never need to move away.
Yes, as long as the $2 trillion dollar American corporation beholden to shareholders to maximize profits doesn't try to milk its captive customers you'll be fine. Shouldn't be a problem.
I didn't, as far as I'm aware. They are indeed beholden to their shareholders and I said nothing of value. Investors desire shares of profitable companies with consistent growth. As an AWS customer, you are the consistent growth. First as a new customer, a statistic paraded to investors. Later through price increases bringing real revenue.
I understood parent as repeating the claim that companies are beholden to their shareholders to maximize (short-term) profit. The article I linked discusses from several angles that this is a myth, companies are not forced (for example by law, as myth repeaters often claim) to maximize short term profit for shareholders. They can aim for different values and strategies.
>I honestly don't know why nvidia didn't just suspend their consumer line entirely.
It's ~$12 billion a year with a high gross margin by the standards of every other hardware company. They want to make sure neither AMD nor Intel get that revenue they can invest into funding their own AI/ML efforts.
They seem to be close?
The RX 9070 is the 2nd most efficient graphics card this generation according to TechPowerUp and they also do well when limited to 60Hz, implying their joules per frame isn't bad either.
I run 9070s (non XT) and in combination with under-volting it is very efficient in both joules per frame and joules per token. And in terms of purchase price it was a steal compared to similar class of NVidia cards.
I heard the opposite. The next is gfx13 and that it is more like RDNA with more bolted on. Which makes sense given the version numbers. MI350 is still gfx943 or gfx950. RX 9070 XT is gfx1201.
The EUV light sources are all made in San Diego. Currently, there is no single country that can make an 3600D or equivalent machine. Which shouldn't be surprising given the complexity.
What ARM core is available for AMD to use that is better than what AMD has been shipping in Turin?
Adapting Zen to a simpler-to-decode architecture would cost more than licensing a core from ARM. The Zen 5 front-end is adapted for working around deficiencies of x86 with dual-decode SMT craziness.
Cymer was the best purchase they ever made. But it also means they're totally beholden to US export controls.
That light source is made in San Diego after all.
