Could very well be his intention. Justifies killing it without admitting to it as a failure of Intel, instead it's a product without a buyer. No reason to keep it.
They could have developed a next gen cutting edge node in time but they just decided against it because it was not cool anymore. Instead they decide to do... what exactly? Milk the aging x86 cow with inferior architecture using the same fab as all your competitors? I guess it makes sense to slim intel down now into a company that can be acquired easily.
Instead of getting offended on behalf of others, why not just ask one of those rednecks how they actually feel? Seems kind of like you are being inflammatory under the guise of concern.
Well they helped me so I thought they were cool. I mean, my "prod it with a stick" would get it to go right down the middle of the road but not off to the edges, I wasn't brave enough to pick it up by the tail. Maybe I had this on my mind
You're fine. As one of those "rednecks" my problem wasn't with what you were saying, it's obvious it wasn't malicious in intent. The person who replied to you with their accusations of racism (??) was clout-seeking/rage-baiting at your expense and I call those kinds of people out in an instant.
The prices will continue to increase so long as buyers keep paying for them. In a car-centric country like the US, the demand isn't as elastic as it is elsewhere. People could buy more cost-effective vehicles, but they don't for a variety of reasons.
I foresee that car loans will contribute to the next market crash, as the abysmal LTVs trap people similar to the way vehicle loans originated during COVID did.
The OP is a poignant example. I have been in the market for an AWD Maverick, but I cannot find a vehicle on sale at a reasonable price. I see Mavericks with high milage selling for 80% as much as a brand new one MSRPs for. Dealers add to the fire by adding markups or tacking on insane windows prices. The outcome of the loan doesn't matter to them, just so long as they can get the initial sale.
I feel so much of this problem could be resolved be eliminating the middle man. Allow manufacturers to sell direct to consumer, and so much of the perverse incentive evaporates.
I have my doubts about the polymarket demo. We know the model searched the web, but they didn't show the comparison between the PM score and what the model came up with. How do we know it didn't just pull the PM odds?
I've been slowing working on a hobby project to 3D print a lookalike Sony PVM with a computer inside. There is a joy in knowing exactly how something works, and to be able to fix it intuitively.
An increasing number of drones being used aren't the shitty consumer ones either. They are still relatively cheap, but their guidance systems and payloads are improving dramatically compared to the start of the war. Saturation attacks are still possible on automated kinetic kill systems, and for a price that is sustainable for the attacker.
