The functionality is burned into the silicon at the factory and cannot be changed. There are also specialized devices that can give you the benefits of an asic and can also be changed and reprogrammed. these are called field programmable gate arrays (fpgas). Large scale miners do not use gpus or fpgas due to cost and efficiency reasons.

So I wonder, have regulators stalled or stop pushing for new safety features under the false belief that we’re going to have self driving cars any day now, so what’s the hurry? I feel like it has, although admittedly it’s just a feeling and I’ve done no research.

Collision avoidance systems are our generations seat belt. It’s still pretty shocking to me this tech isn’t mandated as a safety feature yet considering the very real potential to save lives from distracted driving.

Has the pr shit storm all these companies shamelessly capitalize on affected this technology implementation?

We generally think of these sorts of lies as harmless and a result of overly ambitious visionaries. But I think in a real way this is the type of thing that could cost lives, in the sense that if regulators understood they are 20-30 years away from mass market, they might actually push for more safety reforms which could save lives.

Mostly talking out of my ass. I’m sure there’s someone on here with the answers you seek.

When the prices of basic necessities increase people affected by the price increases don't usually think to themselves, well gee! I'll just move to those wonderful cities I've heard so much about full of those people who I have nothing in common with culturally. It's not like there's mutual distrust and is totally gonna be such a great time!

Is there anyway we could benefit from starting again and building a secure os from first principles? Isn’t this one of Fuscias goals?

If the people that say they support sustainable living actually understood what is meant by that phrase almost none of them would support it. It’s not just billionaires giving up their jets as is the popular notion, but as you point out, basically giving up everything Americans consider staples of middle class life.

I think we’ve got a better chance inventing a giant machine that removes greenhouse gases from the atmosphere than we do of convincing people to follow your way of life. And climate change is just the tip of the ice berg.

There's multi-billion dollar lawsuits going on because it's been documented as a policy of nevada hospitals.

Internal combustion engines are too well understood and wide spread to conceivably ban. Our planet will boil if we don't develop carbon sequestering capability at scale. It doesn't seem fair to me to risk the lives of all those people that will die from climate related problems just because we don't like the oil companies.
