The latest world record is updated to 378.9 Tbps by the same research group. Probably not yet published in English.

Is there any other good service for enterprise development?

That's not what I mean. Well, it probably was not translated well.

It means that it is malicious to replace the title with what would have been the subheading because it looks like a clickbait title. Subheadings do not mean that anything can be changed into a title if it is a subheading. The fact is that this thread is now occupied by a discussion of bike yards that has nothing to do with technology.

The original title is "Deepfake Defense Tech Ready for Commercialization, Transition" but has been changed to "DARPA to launch efforts that will bolster defenses against manipulated media". The changed title is unnecessarily unsettling and misleading. I don't want to see the title changed to a clickbait title like a lowbrow gossip magazine would give it.

> Sometimes I think about how much money people would pay to make their computer run 20x faster.

Bottlenecks that can make a computer 20x faster are very rare. First, pay $1m for a specialist to find the bottlenecks. However, it is even rarer that it is a bottleneck of the entire service. Rather, it is more likely to be an accidental drop in performance. Thus, basically performance monitoring is the best use of money.

> Its weird to me that we'll pay thousands of dollars for faster CPUs then write new software in python, electron or a docker container running in a VM.

There are more labor costs and lost commercial opportunities due to delays in development.

The required explanation is unnecessarily unreadable, so I explain it again.

As I wrote in my other comment, I meant the article as it relates to technology. My original comment is hidden below so I explain it again here. The safety of the environment surrounding engineers is a serious concern of engineers. Note that even if it is a suicide, it is still a safety problem of the environment surrounding engineers. Since it is Boeing that pressured him until he committed suicide.

So I wrote "concerning safety culture of engineers". Your interpretation is a complete misunderstanding. At least the points voted on my above comment indicate that your interpretation is not the majority. Hence, thanks to the many supporters, my above comment received many votes and was moved to this thread and this thread was eventually returned to the top page.

We must not remain ignorant or indifferent to unsafe working environments.

It wasn't. The downvote told me that here is the place to be careful about saying thank you. Well, those who downvote against thank you will downvote anything.

I don't want to argue about what to call it. I just confirmed the fact that the text that was deleted and made unreadable is back to readable. Still, I'm surprised that comments are sometimes hidden from even being present here.

So what is the avoided moderation and the failures of the upvoting system? Your rebuttal has too many irrelevant new arguments.

All I am saying here is that if some statements can't be read, others can't read the argument. An argument where others can't read one side's statements is not an equal argument. You must at least be able to make every comment you have conversed with readable. Otherwise it is just your speech.

I don't know why you start making such belated arguments but the upvotes for that comment indicate that it was much more helpful to the viewer than flagging it to make it unreadable. And it does not avoid any moderation. What moderation was done? Here the flag serves only as censorship. It lacks objectivity and impartiality. Most people can't read what was written, they can only read your argument.

No, the presence of the function is not evidence that something is due to that function or the absence of other functions. Many people blindly believe only the speculations that support them and it is unfortunate that much easy confirmation bias believing this misunderstanding has also been observed here due to my not explaining it right away.

Knowledge alone is enough to say thank you. There would be no need to be so careful in saying a simple thank you.

You are welcome. It would have been better if you would have respected the order of the comments.

In other words, you resurrected the deleted text. I just hope this conversation will not be deleted/flagged again and become unreadable.

When I logged out, last time it was replaced by flagged on Chrome and I couldn't read the text, but now I can, even though it's still flagged. Now there is a strange thing. Why are the other flagged comments still replaced with flagged? Your moderation is too variable.

> I unkilled your comment when I posted my last reply.

This?

> Nothing was deleted. We never delete a comment, except when the author asks us to.

I have confirmed that the text of the comment has been replaced by [flagged] and is no longer readable. It's just sophistry to say that the text was only deleted and the comment was not deleted.
