Unfortunately they would broadly be systems that need about 15kw, and as part of a board that won't work as discrete parts.

So you get it, but you'll need a couple of 60 amp circuits to dedicate to it... Also you have no viable video out

There were a lot of companies that were unprofitable during dot com and failed.

The question would be if openai is like Amazon or webvan or Netscape or AOL or....

I would argue that openai is more overextended than amaxon was, and worse, they aren't really seen as the leading company anyway, nor do they have a strong hook. Anthropic is broadly more well regarded, and Google has the captive audience of phones and browsers.

Despite this reporting suggests openai maybe the most insane purchasing commitments.

I don't think it ends well for openAI, however durable AI market ends up otherwise.

But how wild that confrontation realistically materialize?

A sternly worded letter? That has been so effective in the past.

Punitive tariffs? Trump administration would love an excuse to levy retaliatory tariffs. Remember the nature of the administration is isolationist.

Sanctions? Maybe you get some more pressure, but again the administration trends towards isolationist authoritarian, and has already openly said they didn't care about the economic problems the people have compared to Iran.

Military confrontation? There no way any of those parties stick their neck out that much for Iran. Similar story for any clandestine operation to take out the administration.

The economic harm I suppose could inspire an assassination attempt by folks resourceful enough to make it happen.. But it is a longshot.

It was sarcasm. Your sentence was fine except the typo which has nothing to do with language skills.

She was flying with a flight instructor in the role of student. I think that's enough for a lay person to take those words at face value, not knowing what a PPL means. Even if they searched it up, they'd see 40 hours of flight time, and that's similar to the requirement to give a teenager a driver's license, and it may be hard to square that with landing a plane, which is a very intimating task to people who have mostly never flown an aircraft.

I've seen similar stories about incapacitated flight instructors and celebration of student pilots making it out safely, and I think the reporting is similarly "surprised" about a mere "student" getting out unscathed whether male or female.

Yeah, cabin monoxide comes up now and then

Simple, people assume "student pilot" means doom without realizing how far along people fly with instructors.

I think it's much to assume the surprise is about gender instead of the word "student".

Unless those groups agree to potentially face off directly with US and Israel military, there is relatively little they can do to change current US and Israel behavior.

One would think sanctions, but Trump has effectively been doing his best to self impose sanction-like results already.

In my experience if there's one thing that executives excel at, it is not managing to hear people saying something inconvenient to their world view.

The people who have never done the work love more than anyone else to talk about how the work should be done better and cheaper.

Broadly this sentiment stands for most professions.

You expect me to believe the aliens on P7X-377 care at all about the World Cup?

A few things.

One is that steam frequently has actually cheap games more readily than the console digital stores.

Another is that if I'm buying a digital entitlement anyway, I'll go with the ecosystem with the greatest track record for long term compatibility. A game purchased 20 years ago on steam is still generally playable in brand new system. A PlayStation game purchased then is not playable on a new Sony system. It is in fact only playable on PC through emulation, so PCs have been covering for console incompatibly.

Once upon a time, consoles brought some unique values. Easy to plug into TVs, consistent gamepad experience, and just turn on and play.

Nowadays PC operating systems and console operating systems act the same, tv output is just HDMI, gaming controllers are well supported on PCs... The last reason to bother with the console gaming was the physical media. So while sure, they can go digital only, but then why bother with a console at all? They've already lost every other advantage.
