This is something I've felt we've needed for a long time, but cloudscalers have their own environments that include resource management and beyond dev, if anything goes wrong they either reboot the net image or offline it for maintenance.
This is something I've wanted to throw together, will give it a try soon, could even be useful for development.
It won't, the market share is generally complementary, not competitive, the sectors tend to be different (more or less until recently).
Mostly, if people are really scared into might fold (unlikely, but we don't know everything) then the ftc will roll out the red carpet for a player like Intel.
Doubt it will happen, qcomm is too smart, but it's not unthinkable, and it would give qcomm domination over US cpus, save hyperscalers.
It only happens if people are truly terrified.
Molten salt sounds like a terrible design for modular, the whole problem is if it loses power it freezes solid, you'd want a huge one with tons of backup imho.
I'd imagine a tiny pebble bed or traveling wave, something fairly inert and safe.
Edit: I guess that's the point, give someone a reactor, if they screw it up it safely freezes dead. Problem solved.
Basically you save money on tech/support because of scale.
So you triple and quadruple your sales and marketing spend to get more business.
In the end it just doesn't work, except the smaller guys and a lot of them are just hanging on as the stacks get more complicated.
Aws and gcloud are thickening the stack and driving everyone else out of business.
We really need them for boomers, for the world's sake.
They used this to defend slavery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham and still use it to defend racism.
I think you'll be surprised what you can twist logic into if you really want to.
And 73 virgins didn't come from the Qur'an, it came from some Imam who wanted political power so he sold his followers as soldiers to as rising potential Caliph.
Ignorant people rewrite their religion to match their personal views, in fact the bible was completely rewritten by Constantine to support the Roman empire and convince Christians that it was truly Christian to fight and die for him.
I mean, also it was a time when we didn't have any science at all, so believing magical spirits and all powerful invisible sky-men control the world are get angry when you masturbate is just as reasonable as the germ theory of disease and the laws of thermodynamics.
But it's like having an imaginary friend: Fine when you're a child, but after a while, you might just have psychiatric issues.
Nobody wants it, they just want brighter lights for themselves to compensate for being blinded by the brighter lights of others, but actually to retaliate, nobody can have brighter brights than me!
We'd need regulations for this, which we'd never get, especially after the Chevron doctrine was reversed.
They're Christian Nationalists who believe the bible must be taken literally!
Therefore they are strictly pro-life (before birth), they believe he who has sin must cast the first stone, and those moneylenders must be worshipped as the job-creators they are!
Poles: "Don't invite them over for beer..."
The real best aircraft were the threats we found along the way.
