The US as a whole is a third world country. Low average income, nearly non-existent health insurance, incredibly bad education (system), high wealth gap, fascism, insanely bad labor laws, the list goes on and on...

That might be the case. But more often than not it's WAY too easy to see that a decision is bad to argue that we can't implement any measures against that.

In this case we "just" need laws that prohibit that any infrastructure can be dependent on few foreign entities and had to be completely independent if reasonably possible. Diversification or elimination of dependencies as a law.

You can't rely on foreign proprietary software like Teams for public facilities and infrastructure if there are reasonable alternatives.

You can't rely only on Russian oil if other countries are available for trade.

We should start making laws and frameworks that prevent us from making bad decisions in the future. Using Microsoft and their products was always a bad decision and fixing that now is way more expensive than whatever the arguments were against Linux and FOSS software in the last two decades. It was just easy and convenient at the time.

Being dependent on Russia for oil didn't turn out great either.

But I just see people talking about how to change things for the better, never how to prevent silly things in the future. I'd rather be in a situation were we don't have to fix things.

And they follow the orders...

Correct, but if they need that much time to come to that conclusion they're basically useless.

And that is "news"?

Why do I still see articles with the headline "X claims Israel is committing genocide"? "Claims"? Really? And how is that "news"? If we can't get over pretending it's not entirely clear nothing will change.

I know this is quite easy to say from the comfort of my couch in Europe, but guys you need to shoot this fucker in the face already.

Means they aren't competing. They're working in a completely different field. Nvidia isn't producing anything sensible.

Competition in what? Producing bullshit?

But it's 2⁵² addresses for each star in the observable universe. Or in other words, if every star in the observable universe has a planet in the habitable zone, each of them got 2²⁰ more IPs than there are IPv4 addresses.

"How a shitty company with an even shittier codebase full of bad design decisions uses AI" isn't going to get me hooked on using AI.
