from an adversarial / defensive position: the model weights and training data were groomed and known; therefore, the output is potentially predictable. this could be an advantage to the nationstate above the corpo

This is also true for any US model from a European perspective.

And for any US model from an US perspective. Why is assumed that states are aligned with them self like some sort of CivIII player being coherent and self contained...

Sprint was a technological wrong turn. They invested in the next generation platform on multiple occasions. Billions $ into WiMAX left them with a nonpractical and expensive footprint and no mid term speed benefits to really show. Then, after wanting to keep original CDMA infrastructure, they went LTE/GSM anyway. This period meant multiple modems and lower battery life. It was over with no great options.

I think in this regard the government could have basically reallocated spectrum to be roughly equal among the big four and financially it would be a bankruptcy situation.

Don’t forget Nextel, that was an expensive acquisition with almost nothing technological to show for it.

requiring an email in order to download a privacy tool isnt a great start for anonymity. why should I trust this tool?

Maybe don't trust it?

It seems to accept sharklasers.com (aka anonymous) email addresses though, so you don't have to use your real email address. :)

It also seems to work via Tor Browser, although it's a bit slow.

Technically you are buying VPN services by giving your credit card :D

use a dummy email -- if you feel so unsafe. At least Squarex is free right now so no credit card needed

You can pay for VPNs with crytocurrency instead

For Mullvad you can buy gift cards as well. Even if you pay for those with a credit card, there's no link between the payment and the contents of the gift card.

I send cash and it has worked just fine. I guess depends on honest mail people between you and them though.

the accusation of editing comments I believe to be confirmed as fact, everything else I am not sure of.

I love this for her and for me. Best gift you can give to a music lover

I dislike the phrasing here. The proper design of a warrant canary is to actively publish new messages on some time period. No one should have actively pulled the canary, they just didn't publish a new message.

This distinction, from my understanding, is important for legal reasons.

> I wouldn't expect the microarchitectures that achieve this performance to be free (in either the "gratis" or "libre" senses of that word)

I agree with you on this as an eventuality of risc-v. But my casual following of the space leads me to believe that a high-performance open baseline of these architectures will be available and customization/special purpose of these archs will be for purchase.

I'm hopeful some of the benefits will be contributed upstream.

As long as there is some competition in the architecture space (ARM, x86, risc-v), the more likely builders will share gains upstream to compete against rival platforms.

That's my wishful thinking at least.

I think you’re likely underestimating how complex a modern microarchitecture like the A78 or X1 is compared to the RISC-V cores that have been open sourced so far. It’s unclear to me what organizations would have the resources to develop something like the A78 for RISC-V and would also be happy giving it away for free.

Note that in the ARM world everyone except Apple and Nvidia have given up on developing their own microarchitectures - they all just license one from ARM and maybe apply some customizations on top.
