Aren't spacesuit visors actually gold plated, not copper?
A vanishingly small percentage of coders are thinking about this when they're coding. Compilers do so many optimizations that most work-a-day programmers don't think about as well. If you're one of those people who care about the exact instructions coming out of your compiler, you're just inlining assembly.
Are there any airliners that have flown for 24 years non-stop?
I don't think thats comparable at all. You're not buying used games, you're buying discounted games. Sony can discount games too. Steam doesn't have a secondary market either.
We just seem to trust Valve more to not rugpull our purchases.
Honestly gamers have been stomaching this for decades with Steam so Sony wants in on some of that sweet sweet action as well.
The USG has limited capabilities on technologies from GPS chips to thermal imaging with "national security" implications for a while and now they're doing it but it seems people don't like how ill defined "Mythos-class" means. Would it be better if it was some %X on some benchmark that the frontier model peddlers could just limbo under to make it "acceptable" for release? Do we just accept that jailbreaking will never be prevented?
The part of all this I do have a problem with is the national state cybersecurity cat-and-mouse this kicks off. Will the US tech landscape have enough time to safely get a "Mythos-class" model to harden itself before China releases or leverages a "Mythos-class" cyber munition?
