There are chipset design issues and there are firmware issues. The former is much more difficult to address quickly than the latter, sure.

Torvalds's point, though, is that hardware developers (Intel specifically) keep making changes that "fix" imaginary problems while screwing over compatibility, and trying to shift the onus of making it work to the volunteers who contribute to open source instead of just paying their engineers to produce working firmware.

If the problem were only with defective silicon, I'd agree with you (to an extent), but this is not really an issue with the circuits.

To add to this, spent fuel is over 90% recyclable. If the US were to instate a comprehensive recycling program like France has done, the spent fuel cache could be reduced to negligible amounts.

If it results in the nuclear plants remaining online and providing energy after the AI bubble pops, that doesn't seem so bad.

Fission is one of the cleanest energy sources we have today.

Which GPU do you have? I'm looking for an upgrade and those framerates make me drool.

I thought they had white coats because they take their methamphetamine production lab very seriously.

There is a cost, but it's not measured in currency.

So you're saying Rust is the TOOL of programming languages.

Point of clarification: DAC is copper, AOC is fiber.

A lot of 10G equipment will support 5G/2.5G SFPs as well, so it can still be beneficial to go 10G on the core equipment.

There's that awful dad joke that foggy was talking about; Use it as inspiration for your exasperated sigh.
