I wish everyone also felt this way about the national debt.

it should at least provide some better price to performance options once the AMD software/drivers get up to speed.

Been waiting over a decade for AMD to get serious about their software.

I think this sort of attitude towards hardware devices will massively limit the potential for attacks on our hardware via our ports. We should push for protocols that verify the hardware on the other end is either a known or approved device.

What sort of imaginary attacks are you talking about? Also, removing your ability to use your devices with this device arbitrarily makes this device less "our hardware" and more 'Microsoft's Hardware".

These kind of attacks are pretty rare in general, and for X-Box machines even more so (if they even exist at all). It's not really a huge deal for most people, and locking everything down for everyone is a huge price to pay. It also seems to me that most actors deploying these kind of attacks can bypass these limits them without too much trouble.

If you really want this protection then you can just lock it down yourself.

Clearly, we can't have users with uses you don't approve of [/s]

> I code better in other languages now

I feel this one, something about spending too much time in JS makes me not want to write clean software..

Arguably memory managed languages are the same or are you speaking to some specific slice of the available programming languages?

The need for GPUs is a solid reason to stay away.

Yeah it’s the main reason because the data transfer costs alone would be insane

any plans to generate something for the server side? What I've been prototyping macros which wrap functions to ensure that they adhere to the behavior of an openapi spec.

an (audio)book of this would be great

How does an audio book help here? A lot of these require visuals to understand.

> the movement of large objects would seem inherently more random than the movements of individual particles

sounds contrary to law of large numbers

There is a lot more nuance to law/regulation than “if you don't like my draconian privacy and/or freedom reducing laws then you deserve no property rights!”

It seems as financial tools mature they inevitably gain a certain critical mass of rules. My guess is some are essential to a functioning society.

Property rights are not possible without a monopoly on force. Property rights are inherently broken because it means someone is giving you rights over some __property__ that you're defending with some arbitrary rules.

Not really. You surely know what the mob thinks about property and privacy rights.

100% of intellectual property rights requires a government. It's not really a right. It's manufactured. Patents user to he called monopolies. It takes a government to enforce such a regime.

Without a government there's no agreed upon, or forced upon, authority to prevent violence.
