Why wouldn't it be? I don't understand the point of this article. It's not like some other direct P2P communication medium is going to come along and upend it. It doesn't really make sense to run fiber inside your home. You don't need that kind of bandwidth for such a small number of devices and it would be prohibitively expensive since you need a specialized, highly trained technician to run it - unlike Ethernet, where any sufficiently motivated person can do so. I've heard that the people that run fiber for ISPs make something like $200/hr or so.

Twitch embeds ads directly into the stream now. They're next to impossible to block now, though I've heard some people say it's still possible.

There are significant differences between statistical models and AI.

I work for an analytics department at a fortune 100 company. We have a very clear delineation between what constitutes a model and what constitutes an AI.

I remember when Chrome released and it was a hot mess performance wise. I haven't used it since and it doesn't seem like I'm missing anything.

If this is true the crowd on here that often says Firefox is really owned by Google because Google pays Mozilla to have their search engine be the default search engine on Firefox really need to look at their claim and rethink their understanding of how Mozilla and Google interact.

It'll never be in the play store either because the play store terms of service forbids apps that interfere with Googles revenue streams.

Why are you white knighting for big US companies? They don't even know who you are outside of a personal identification number.

Sad evga sounds. I still await their partnership with AMD. It would be a shame to let all that knowledge and talent fade away.

Must be real hard to make decisions at Nvidia when you're almost a monopoly and have the power to tell consumers what they are going to pay for products that get comparatively weaker each generation.

You don't sound like you're from NA, but here in the US we have trucks that are colloquially known as "Child Killers" because when you're driving them, you literally can't see what's in front of you. They are all over the roads, and make for an extremely bad experience for people in smaller vehicles, people on bikes, and pedestrians. Not to mention, they're often driven by people that lean heavily into road rage.

Tbf, US companies brought this upon themselves when they agreed to China's guidelines for working within the country.

Lots of industries in China have a barrier to entry for foreign manufacturers/businesses that require either partnering with a local Chinese business or rebadging your product to sell under a local Chinese business brand.

Such conditions are rife for IP theft. Especially in a country that is famous for ignoring IP laws of other nations. Shenzhen doesn't even leverage IP laws at all, it's the wild west.

That's some nice hot leaf juice you've got there.
