ARM is only more power efficient below 10 to 15 W or so. Above that, doesn't matter much between ARM and x86.

The real benefit is somewhat abstract. Only two companies can make x86, and only one of them knows how to do it well. ARM (and RISC V) opens up the market to more players.

They tried and failed to control Internet porn in the 90s. With Trump, conservatives think they're more popular than they are, so they're trying this shit again. As with lots of things in Project 2025, they're quickly discovering that they're not as well liked as they think.

Nope, those are the numbers. The UN isn't in the habit of publishing satire.

Then you have to pay to berth it somewhere, and for maintenance because your boat touches salt water. Land will just sit there until you can flip it, though you do have some property taxes and insurance. A handful of acres around Beverly Hills will do it.

Stocks are liquid enough that the genie may not consider it "spending". You could easily buy it, and then just as easily dump it. The move is also big enough that you'll single handedly move the market in the process.

The problem is that it's so much money that you can clear out the inventory of almost anything you would buy while only chewing a few percent off the bankroll. Provided you can close on them in time, buying up some high end houses, or just a whole lot of land, is probably your best bet. Being a cash deal on your end helps move the paperwork faster. They're also durable goods that don't need a warehouse to be stored, and don't need any maintenance for a while.

GDP is typically stated by the year. One or two days lost, even if it was 100% of the GDP for those days, would still be less than 1% of GDP for the year.

When your push to prod on Friday causes a small but measurable drop in global GDP.

I think you have it. Complete lack of self-awareness on their part.

It's noteworthy because it's Goldman Sachs. Lots of money people are dumping it into AI. When a major outlet for money people starts to show skepticism, that could mean the bubble is about to pop.

Yeah, if you want meat. Farmers usually want to control rabbits from eating everything else.
