Yes, yes and yes, but it'll take a while. It's a six year project overall.

Those are rookie numbers.

Yes. Yes you can.

Ignore it. Move on.

I doubt Trump will be alive when those fabs come online. It takes years. In the meantime he'll place tariffs on technology imports without having the alternative domestic production.

There's been been bills at the EU level, but they've been defeated. I think individual countries introduced their own bills if they were supporters of the EU one.

Basically browsers are big because they are operating systems for web hosted applications with huge attack surfaces and lots of legacy compatibility requirements amassed over 3 decades.

A rewrite isn't the answer. Putting limits on browser functionality is. JavaScript was the turning point IMHO.

Personally I keep a copy of chromium around just for Google meet. Everything else is on Firefox.

Mainly just a case of developing the design. If you know how to get performance out of a processor then the instruction set is largely secondary. However, a high performance processor is not a simple thing to design.

That's not to say the other factors you list aren't an issue. The latest manufacturing processes are only available from TSMC and all production slots are bought out by nVidia, AMD and Apple. Everybody else has to make do with older processes.

Adoption is probably the easiest one. Linux support for RISC-V is pretty good and recompiling software for it is pretty simple.

The world functioned before recommendation algorithms. Even the internet did. Once upon a time, when Goggle worked, it didn't modify its results based on your history.

Netflix could operate fine with classifications, ratings good tagging and search. It doesn't need to monitor your viewing habits and recommend something based on them.

Yes the recommended feed is personalized. It's optional. The main feed has no algorithm,, just who you follow.

The thing is, a lot of social media sites have or had this. YouTube has the subscriptions feed. Twitter has (I don't know anymore) a following feed. Reddit used to keep posts on your homepage only being from subscribed subreddits.

One problem. People don't use them. They see maintaining subscriptions as work and so want to be fed posts by algorithm.
