The subtext is broken social contracts[1]. A 36MW steel mill is loud, hot and polluting, but it is tolerated because it makes up for the ills by employing a lot of locals and positively contributing to the local economy (housing, retail, food and beverage), etc.

The AI CEOs thought it'd be a good idea to hype their products by promising to take people's jobs away, and people remember that when a new data center proposal pops up in their town/county.

Circling back to your generalization: if an equivalent 36MW steel mill flew in workers from Canada/Mexico for each shift - or somehow implemented 99.5% tele-operation by Ghanaian workers, locals would grouse about the pollution and noise because they can identify a raw deal.

1. Americans have been fed up with powerful people getting away with violating social norms for 2 decades - if not longer, sometimes with a partisan tinge, oft-times without. It's the common thread linking the Tea party, Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Bros, Trump I, BLM protests, the Epstein files legislation and release, cutting down of Flock cameras and the ire against AI and AI data centers.

I don't know why you'd take that as a given when marquee RISC-V microcontrollers are almost universally low-cost, but Arm has pricier marquee parts, thus a bigger opportunity for undercutting the market leader on price with a cloned product.

Trying to replace the foot-soldiers of capital in a capitalist system would be bold, if one could raise the capital for the experiment.

Guess what other low-level bike-shedding argument 'go fmt' obviates? That's right - tabs vs spaces!

> If it isn't the end of it you've got a talent issue.

I know you meant this as a slur, but the implication is Go works better than other languages for those who have what you call "a talent issue"

> ...And so many languages have an opinionated formatter these days

The crux of gp's post is for Go, there is no debate as 'go fmt' is the only one that matters. Black is great, but some people prefer Ruff, leading to ...debates about which formatter the team/org should use. Go's batteries-included philosophy makes those discussions moot on so many levels beyond formatting.

Anthropic et al recently proposed a supranational AI governing body designed to slow everyone down (euphemistically calling it "AI pacing"). Are the Pacer signatories losing?

Considering that Meta distills Qwen[1] (and should!), it'd be hilarious if Muse loses the head-to-head; the "distillation attack!!1!" people claimed distillation on release n-1 is enough to match the intelligence of the latest version.

1. They wrote a paper about it

AI companies release models when they are ready - not on a set schedule. The steps are required to produce a release candidate, so a company can choose to bless the RC with the best metrics at any time - or alternatively continue (post/)training newer RCs if they feel they can do better, and they have time. When a model is ready for release is subjective, and can take into consideration what the competition is doing.

An obvious counter-example to schedules driving releases is the still unreleased Gemini 3.6 Pro.

Will America's foes heinously attack the homeland by offering socialistic self-driving vehicles? What exactly the threat model here, that makes Lidar data dangerous? Space-based remote sensing is superior in almost every way.

IMO,the end-user is the person downloading and using the software from the app store, not the free-riding intermediary who repackages it. Copyleft ensures the end users can modify their software by guaranteeing access to its source code, and it accomplishes this by constraining any privileges of would-be intermediary repackagers from impinging this fundamental end-user right.

When judging which software offers more rights, you must first establish which party you prefer to have primacy: downstream developers, or the users of the software who run the released packages on their devices.

Edit: also consider centralized Room-641A-type surveillance when models summarize and/or flag all calls processed by public telephony

The "user[s] on both sides" of ATC conversions have passed through the filters of rigorous training and certification. They also happen to communicate in a DSL designed to minimize misunderstandings, the DSL just happens to be based on English.
