<p>That really depends how you measure and define intelligence and does a disservice to them.<p>Toddlers for example dont tend to have gang wars for territories and certainly couldnt do battle outcome predictions from a glance at a group across thick canopy and the sounds of branches and hollering.</p>

<p>Some programs are error resistant and need an additional level: Fatal.<p>A warning can be ignored safely. Warnings may be 'debugging enabled, results cannot be certified' or something similar.<p>An error should not be ignored, an operation is failing, data loss may be occurring, etc.<p>Some users may be okay with that data loss or failing operation. Maybe it isnt important to them. If the program continues and does not error in the parts that matter to the user, then they can ignore it, but it is still objectively an error occurring.<p>A fatal message cannot be ignored, the system has crashed. Its the last thing you see before shutdown is attempted.</p>

<p>Losing devs that built a service, its infrastructure, build pipelines, tests, etc. Can sometimes mean losing deep knowledge.<p>Sometimes an issue arises and without that deep knowledge you'll be waiting weeks for a fix. Better hope it isnt a critical issue like a serious vulnerability or that you can hire the deep knowledge on a temporary consultancy contract.<p>Sometimes services are fully rewritten from scratch because the new devs cant get a build of the old service to compile/run/do the thing™.</p>

<p>The f35, the growler, awacs, etc. Mean there will be nowhere close enough to launch low cost fpvs against the west in a war. Air dominance is what we do.<p>Look what happened to iran and all their air defences when f35s showed up lol.<p>So then youre left with shahed style drones that have range but are still fairly slow, loud, lack good guidance in jammed environments and will be shot down easily.<p>So you put better guidance on them so they dont need satellite connections and make them stealthy...oh wait now its just a regular ass cruise missile.</p>

<p>Im shocked i had to scroll so far to find a real hard stop blocker mentioned.<p>Valve has no reason to care about using the HDMI trademark. Consumers dont care if it says HDMI 2.1 or HMDI 2.1 Compatible.<p>The connector isnt trademarked and neither is compatibility.<p>The oss nature of isnt one either as valve could just release a compiled binary instead of open sourcing it.<p>The 'get sued for copying the leak' argument implies someone would actually fancy going toe to toe with valves legal team which so far have rekt the eu, activision, riot games, microsoft, etc. in court.<p>Proving beyond doubt that valve or their devs accessed the leaks would be hard. Especially if valve were clever from the get go, and lets face it, they probably were. Theyre easily one of the leanest, most profitable, and savviest software companies around.</p>
