Oh damn, son, Amazon licensed an ARM chip, somebody call Nobel to hand them a prize for that innovation!
Arm provides the basic skeleton of a core design, not a whole chip. Another thing Amazon engineered is, you know, the whole entirety of AWS. Also their own shipping company.
You can cry about it, but claiming Amazon hasn't hired any engineers to design things just makes you sound like a retard.
Ampere's a better bet if you want high performance on ARM in your own data center.
lol no, those Ampere chips are awful
One or two in-atmosphere test flights are not at all comparable to a hundred booster landings per year.
And making something somebody else invented economical is not at all comparable to solving an unsolved physics & materials problem that top researchers in the field are certain is unsolvable.
There's a difference between being behind while achieving nothing and being behind but still making massive progress.
And with Starship's rapid-reuse heat shield, you know, the technology fundamentally necessary to making the "rapid reusable deep space rocket" concept even work at all, SpaceX has still achieved nothing.
The heat shield works, even when intentionally weakened to test its limits.
Except it's not a rapid-reuse heat shield. They had to completely scrap that stupid idea and are now going with a Space Shuttle-style tile-based heat shield (inb4 BUT THEY MADE IMPROVEMENTS OVER LATE 70s TECHNOLOGY!!!, yes, and if they hadn't, they should just shut down the company), which Musk had explicitly said they were not doing back when he was promising 2-hour turnaround times (and Mars landings by 2027) that needs meticulous inspection and restoration between flights. This is the equivalent of announcing Tesla cars will no longer be BEVs but will instead be going to a Prius-style HEV model and everyone still calling them "electric cars."
EDIT: Better analogy is with Full Self Driving, which was promised to turn your car into an appreciating asset and earn you money as a robotaxi while you slept. Instead, it turned into a pretty nice driver assist feature that was something like 7 years late and wouldn't run on the $10,000 module they sold for it in 2017.
