this is a story about a proprietary accelerator being built/designed by a token provider. and you think they're going to return the efficiency gains to the customer instead of capture the value for themselves? interesting take.

- fer 2mo agoI was checking laptops today for an upgrade from the model I bought back in 2019 and it's not gonna happen from how cheap they are.
- asveikau 2mo agoGPUs and memory have gone up in price. It's more expensive to buy a 1-2 year old video card than it was at launch, sometimes by a shockingly large factor. Laptop vendors have recently shipped flagship models with less memory than the previous model, because they can't match price expectations for a laptop.
