Unfortunately, it could only be an improvement after the 13th generation problems. I strongly believe that Intel owes me $150 after releasing a firmware update that turned my processor into one that cost $150 less.
You lack imagination. Broadcom brings a whole slew of problems you may not have thought possible. We couldn't bet them to actually give us a quote to purchase VMware licenses for a new cluster (to replace the current one, as we're a current customer) for the first five months of 2024. Multiple month long freezes in sales while they restructured pricing, multiple times.
Their goal isn't necessarily to run a business that's profitable long term, it may be to segment it out and squeeze various segments to wring the last bits of juice out of them until leaving a dried husk while providing middling quality to the most lucrative segments to string them along.
You don't want to be in the segment destined to be juiced.
Intel has "software defined, license activated" features baked in the silicon now. It's a wet dream for Broadcom.

When the 49ers lost the 2024 Super Bowl, the second and third string players didn't go around saying they didn't really lose because they never hit the field. No, they lost.
The basic Ben& Jerry's recipe in an ice cream machine is pretty much unbeatable if you're looking for traditional ice cream. On the other hand, I've tried, without much luck, lower calorie ice creams using substitute sugars like allulose. Unfortunately, they haven't turned out very well. It really is the combination of real sugar, fat, protein, and all that that comes together in the cold to make the magic happen.
In my experience after a decade of trial and error, inulin fiber sweetened with stevia and monk fruit[1] is pretty much a perfect sugar substitute. If anything, the texture might be a little better than sugar.
Inulin is slightly tricky to work with because it clumps up easily when it comes into contact with liquid (likely for the same reason, when baking with it I prefer ghee to butter), but it mixes into the heated custard base on the stove without too much trouble as long as you stir well while pouring it in.
Another tip that's worked well for me: instead of milk or half-and-half, I use a 50:50 ratio of heavy cream to egg white + coconut water. In other words, I use whole eggs and then add an amount of coconut water that matches the difference between volumes of heavy cream and egg white. I don't recall offhand how the math on that works out (it's somewhere in an old ChatGPT log that I've been meaning to properly document), but it's a lot easier than separating yolks and it gets a great result with less sugar than milk or half-and-half.
Not really? As mentioned by others, such tarpits are easily mitigated by using a priority queue. For instance, crawlers can prioritize external links over internal links, which means if your blog post makes it to HN, it'll get crawled ahead of the tarpit. If it's discoverable and readable by actual humans, AI bots will be able to scrape it.
You've got to be seriously AI-drunk to equate letting your site be crawled by commercial scrapers with "contributing to humanity".
Maybe you don't want your your stuff to get thrown into the latest silicon valley commercial operation without getting paid for it. That seems like a valid position to take. Or maybe you just don't want Claude's ridiculously badly behaved scraper to chew through your entire budget.
Regardless, scrapers that don't follow the rules like robots.txt pretty quickly will discover why those rules exist in the first place as they receive increasing amounts of garbage.
Well, you know, context matters. If ten days after a CEO is shot in the street you announce a card deck of CEO portraits with a shooting target on the back, and you post to your Instagram that "the CEO must die", then people are going to draw certain conclusions. Fortunately in this case some of those people were site moderators.
