My comment was just advising people to be media-literate and consider the source, though I also said that this in itself doesn’t make the article questionable (I actually think it’s quite credible). And I linked to Wikipedia’s article about this news website. I wasn’t trying to defend Israel or be controversial, and it was a bit of a surprise to see this get deleted.

I watched the video and there are two scenes where the player turns to look directly back where they just came from.
Every company is still doing this even though studies have shown it puts customers off.
I looked a little more closely at the paper and I’m no theoretical physicist but some of this looks pretty dubious on the surface. I don’t know but it might just be nonsense.
For example:
The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.
Also, a search for some of the authors reveals that they publish on what seems like an odd range of topics, from materials science, through medicine and machine learning, to theoretical physics:

If it works like most AI ad engines, it will keep advertising more of the same Ford car you just bought.
As I understand it, that project spanned several planned generations of chips and this was to be the first of them. So yes, this is part of the cancellation of his whole project.
It’s wise to wait and see, given their recent history.
Maybe I’m a bad programmer, or maybe I’m just busy and tired, but honestly I don’t often care enough to investigate until I need to build something similar.
They’re looking for something open-source. Draw.io’s readme says:

I haven’t been through the license to see what its restrictions are, but there must be a reason they give this warning.
At the bottom of the article there’s a tapestry of an NVIDIA graphics chip created on a computer-controlled loom.

This should be the splash screen on every distro.
That’s why I’d love to see more developers take another look at Linux. Such that they may develop better proficiency in the basic katas of the internet. Such that they aren’t scared to connect a computer to the internet without the cover of a cloud.
The developers I have come across mostly use Linux if they can, or another OS if they can’t (e.g. when developing specifically for Apple or Microsoft platforms). Are there many that haven’t even looked at it?
You and everyone else. I’d have to see a few problem-free years from Intel before I’d return to them.

That’s the spirit! Sooner or later things have to start picking up.
Come on, it’s not like she murdered someone rich.
