Not good enough. The bunker needs to be buried 2km deep on a remote island in the antarctic and "surveillance" means a battallion of marines, paid 10x their salary in gold backed by an aircraft carrier task force. Maybe, maybe then it will be safe. No guarantees.

You meant Soviet RussAI

Speaking as an old graybeard UI guy.... we have just come up with more and more complex solutions to the same old internet "one weird trick" of putting your information on someone else's computer.

Yeah, I remember "Server Side Rendering"... we called Java Servlets or JSPs or PHP or ASP. There were clear divisions of labors and boundaries were respected.

Even when we had to go to make everything feel like an app, at least RESTful stuff still had those boundaries.

Now that everyone needs the same code running front and back, and JS (I'm not a hater of JS by any means but still) stuff like this is bound to have happened.

It is recommended to run ECC RAM with any large fileserver or NA for this exact reason. ZFS explicitly recommends it.

Well, I used to be a big Ruby guy and now I am a big TypeScript guy

That said, Ruby has its uses, I use it as a general scripting language to test things all the time. ruby syntax and metaprogramming is genius grade stuff

My last job was a mid sized company that used Ruby for everything and it was a bad idea. There are lots "Ruby on Rails Boot Camp" types around, they employed them, as opposed to retaining their experts, and now the company has had row after row of lay-offs. The problem is that ruby is good boot camp language for beginners who can't handle anything fancy and they are cheap, so management thinks it is a good idea. Cheap is always good. Lots of cheap glued together with non-coder Physics-grad managers who think SCRUM is a religion is... not.

> Put competent, diverse and industry specific leadership on your board instead of stacking it with multiple CEOs. (Intel's current board is terrible)

Yes and he actually stated that he regret not bringing in more semiconductor experienced people on the board, so it seems that he recognizes the failure on his side

> i. Incentivize rank and file who perform well. "We didn't meet targets as a company so nobody gets anything" is completely unacceptable.

Yup. Nothing kills motivation like the idiot or power-hungry political narcisissist down the hall gets stock options and you get to slave in the cellar.

> ii. Stop the constant layoffs for "underperforming" - nothing kills a company faster.

Dunno, my last company went down because they did NOT let the underperformers loose but played the whole "SCRUM mean everyone is equal and happy and in touch with their feelings" game. As opposed to letting people who are domain experts do their domain expert thing.

> i. Get rid of lines of business that do not contribute to core company. IT consulting services - seriously?

Intel does IT consulting?! Seriously? Why?
The only thing they should consult on is custom chip or interface design for niche markets.

> ii. Build your brand up again. You've lost it to the competition steadily over the past 20 years. Hire an all star marketing team and pay them significantly more than what they are worth.

Please no. Intel is only riding on marketing and they do not innovate. As soon as they have a dominant position they sit on their butts and let the marketeers suck the last drop of blood out of the market. Apples push into ARM silicon that outguns Intel in every measure and AMD breathing into their necks is a very good thing for the world. If you WintelSoft a break they will again dominate he IT world like a cancer for 20 years like they did from the late 90s.The little innovation they tried (Itanium/Itanic) was basically a raging dumpster fire.

He was trying to -solve- his problems

See where that ended

No it was an MP4 of Titanic . They watched it during the long boring descent.

Surely for dev purposes and testing and some document analysis. Apple also makes the Mac Studio a Mini which, if you give them enough RAM, kicks butt with AI. Expensive, but still the cheapest option for the performance

I have a MacBook Pro and a Ryzen with a 12Gb RTX under my desk. The RTX is surely faster with AI, but the Mac can load much bigger models with 48Gb of RAM. The secret sauce is that Apple shares the GPU and system memory, something intel’s old PCI architecture has problems with

The laptop also runs at about 15% of the power of the RTX for 60% of the performance. You do the sums.

If Apple takes this to a low power high performance AI server they will eat NVIDIA s breakfast.

10-15 years ago there was such a split for web engineering. They wanted to make everything on the web look like an app, and a lot of backend guys hate anything looking like UI, so lets have an amicable divorce and do everything through these god awful endpoints, so the backend folks don't have to touch UI and the frontend folks can think they're "more real" engineers by making stuff that looks like it's a black box app vs enjoying the natural versatility and iterability of the old web.

I'm sure I'll never get hired for it, but good ol PHP (hell for most things I skip the MySQL; poor mans no-SQL w/ JSON files on the file system works and scales well for so many things)... vanilla Javascript can even be beautifully declerative when you want it to, with string templates building up whatever new DOM you didn't get from the server. I have these sites that last for decades, and when it comes time to add something, they're easy to figure out and adapt and there's no library hell (browsers have gotten so GOOD yet still so backwards compatibile over the years)

So I look for like minded souls using terms like "buildless" and "evergreen". But it's like an underground movement...

The problem is the same as it always have been. The skills needed to acquire power do not align with the skills needed to exercise power
