What I do not quite get in this context is that there are still investors around with the fundamental lack of insight
Well, you know, D-K... they don't know what survivor bias is.
Is this a case of "there is a sucker born every minute"?
They are sure they are smart because they got money, and don't understand that even if they did make an intelligent investment, there was a luck component.
PPIN seems to mostly be a server feature. I don't feel like going into BIOS right now but I found this about a PPIN option on a Lenovo server. It shows an AMD processor so it's highly relevant. On my system I don't have
Yep. My engineering PhD from one of the best tech Universities on the planet is clearly completely worthless.
A central problem is that these "high energy density" datacenters guzzle drinking water like crazy. And where do you find drinking water in substantive quantity? Bingo, in places where quite a few people live. $50k a person will only do it if that is enough for them to move to some other place.
It is actually quite a bit worse.
Of course it's a terrible idea, but investors don't know that.
What I do not quite get in this context is that there are still investors around with the fundamental lack of insight these people constantly demonstrate. Is this a case of "there is a sucker born every minute"?
The topic is a joke, it only exists because Elon Musk is a moron, as are Silicon Valley billionaires generally.
Yes. A moron with a Physics BA (yes, it is a Bachelor of Arts) that he obviously bought, because he clearly does not even understand basic Physics.
The problem on Earth is mostly NIMBYs
NIMBYs aren't people who don't want things to be made. They're people who want them made somewhere else. But only the wealthy are clamoring for all of us to be replaced with computers, so that's not apt.

LLMs don't have children.
The solution was a second neural network, a belief model, trained to guess the opponent's hidden pieces based on how they had been moving.
Half learning, half having the logic augmented. That's a remodel.
Obligatory "Welcome to Slashdot, you must be new here."
This has been going on for literally years.
Anonymous posting is an option for logged in users, not a thing that people can do without logging in, so they know exactly who is doing this. Slashdot has removed accounts before, therefore it is clear that they want this to occur.
Why are you trusting anything?
That's what TPM is fundamentally about. You talked in another post about it being for separation, that's a trust function, so clearly you know it's about trust. That shows that this comment begins disingenuously.
Open Source TPM software and hardware exist, and are under the user's control in a way that any other TPM is not. Not every motherboard has a TPM slot, but boards with them are not hard to come by, so it is feasible for users to have a TPM that they actually do control. Neither the TPM in your CPU nor the average add-in TPM is actually that. Being able to remove things from it is not the same thing as being in control of it, although it's a part of being in control.
Windows provides 3 distinct ways to clear all TPM data. Your UEFI provides ways to clear TPM data. It is under *YOUR* control.
The "He who can destroy a thing controls it" idea from Dune was about political control, not direct and literal. You can destroy that data at any time, but that's the extent of your control over it. That's not nothing, but it's far from the hardware working for you.
The fact that a root user can't access information al-a-carte is foundational to the feature
Right, that's why the feature is not for my benefit. If I want to bypass security between applications which is not for my benefit (for example to prevent me from copying data that I'm actually intending to copy) and I can't do that because TPM says no, that's working against me.
Having a separate secure enclave is a good idea, having it be so secure that I can't do what I want with it when I want to is a bad one. Most users won't even try, you only need to make it so that they can't trivially be tricked into it. A big warning, a short delay, a hoop to jump through so that a person who can't read the warning can't get there.
the people who are actually in the business of data centers, AI, and space, think it can be done and can be cost effective
That's what they say.
Do you believe everything people say?
If it turns out that they can do it
They can't, and only people who know how nothing whatsoever works thinks they can.

You need to wake the fuck up.
