I don't know if I would consider it new, it's been available in a relatively mainstream way for over a decade.

ARM, this is supposed to be their answer to Snapdragon X

It really does feel like satire, doesn't it?

You don't even need to go that far.

Just need real courts (based on principles of justice and sober interpretation of corruption and criminality) and proper incentives; full asset seizure and mandatory community service (decade minimum) working as a junior janitor at an Alzheimer patient facility, with restricted access to smartphones/computers and mobility restriction to the immediate area around the facility. You could even get minimum wage while taking part in your community service program.

It doesn't really matter if it's possible or not from a physics sense (I have no clue and am not making any statements on this).

As we both agree, he clearly just made that up and picked a random number without any thoughts.

Damn oligarchs acting all "holier than thou" and framing anyone who opposes them as "out of touch lazy, idiots" and yet their argumentation is on the level of a pre-teen. Just goes to show how they despise what they see as dirty plebs.

This is the kind of thing that makes me support use of extra-judicial methods (at least in a temporary and limited context) against global oligarchs and senior lackeys.

The host then followed up with, “Do you think we can meet AI’s energy without total blowing out climate goals?” and Schmidt answered with, “We’re not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we’re not organized to do it — and the way to do it is with the ways that we’re talking about now — and yes, the needs in this area will be a problem. But I’d rather bet on AI solving the problem than constraining it and having the problem if you see my plan.”

This is outright malicious. How exactly would AI "solve the problem"? Later on in the article (I am not watching the propaganda video) alludes to "AI ... will make energy generation systems at least 15% more efficient or maybe even better" but he clearly just made that up on the spot. And at any rate, even if "AI" helps discover a method to make (all?) energy generation 15% more efficient that would still require trillion-dollar investments to modify current energy generation plants using the new technology.

Who is Schmidt to say that the returns of using the total spend in the above-mentioned scenario wouldn't be better used on investing into wind and solar?

I would argue the best option would be Exynos was roughly competitive with Snapdragon.

It would be hilarious if Pichai actually sent an email like this (or even more aggressive and truthful).

I honestly still don't get what is meant by downvotes in this thread. To me this comes off as any opposition/critique is transphobic by default; not a viable perspective in my humble opinion.

Apologist of what? Transphobia? You are not justified in making such a statement.

By the same logic, would I be justified in labelling you an orientalist; a bearer of the "white [person's] burden" (in the metaphorical sense)?

This is not a matter of justification or sympathy of transphobia. You can't condemn hundreds of millions of people (billions?) as evil just because they don't 100% align with your worldview. Especially if you know nothing about various countries' LGBT communities and their views and priorities.

How do you know your maximalist approach is shared by the global trans community? How many languages do you speak? Have you ever been part (IRL, not online) of another country's trans community? Living there and interacting with other people (trans and not trans).

Why are you saying that I believe that "[trans people] should [not] force their identities and pronouns onto other people?" Why are you putting words in my mouth? Is this because I provided a critique of your approach and offered a perspective from a non-english speaking country? I brought up the natal women's spaces example because it's a real world example that shows the limits of your approach. You don't know whether trans folk in non-english speaking countries are in 100% alignment with you on this issue.

I will admit I don't either. But unlike you I do have some exposure to our local LGBT community and to me this comes off as almost orientalist. You definitely have a lack of appreciation that people in other countries (trans or otherwise) may view things through a different lens and have their own strategies and priorities.

What do you mean by "the downvotes on this thread ... [is a] ... very good way to identify transphobic people"?

Which specific post is transphobic? Considering that you are asking for a major instance-wide ban campaign, you should expect people to question the criteria for the application of such bans.

You didn't even provide a basic definition of your understanding what needs to be banned or what qualifies as "just asking questions". Do you not see how this is completely unworkable?

One other note, to my understanding (I am not American), the "U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas" is known for its corruption.
