For expat most important part of comfort its entertainment and socialization. In cheap areas you will only have locals who depend on country might want or not to socialize with you, but either way cultural gap will be massive and finding fr

EU have free healthcare and education. Also not everyone, but alot of people still own their own houses and appartments or they can get relatively cheap mortage. Nothing of it available in cheap country for expat. If you move to developing

One more thing about life in developing countries, ones with seemingly super low GDP per capita. Its that low because a lot of economy in rural areas is simple unaccounted for: communities build their own housing, grow their own food or wor

Okay lets say you are a person who want and able to live on average Indian yearly income in rural India. How the hell you end up in US on $100,000+ job? How much time it took and how much you spent on education / job search / migr

I do get that $100,000 in expensive parts of silicon valley likely will buy you a room, some food and commute to work, but math dont make sense here. Person from that kind of country likely had to spend $100,000 just to find job and move to

And likely "suitable" countries are not the ones you want to do any investments or even transfer 100,000 to local bank. I understand that side note wasnt for me, but yeah most of cheaper developing South East Asia countries are no

You likely meant 50 Gbps as its what come up on their website and some recent US fibre discussions. In any case even 50Gbps likely a huge part of their total throughput and you wont be abble to use it at full speed. So its pure marketing.

Sorry to disappoint you, but no you cannot live "comfortably" in "poor countries" for $100,000 for "years". Well, unless you mean like two years. I lived across South East Asia for more than decade and now live

Most people use Speedtest when something going terrible wrong and they have packet loss, extreme latency or something similar. Or before renting out their appartment on AirBnB.

This has nothing to do with ability to clone the passport. E.g anyone who held your passport for 10 seconds can still create clone with exactly the samw data on NFC chip. Active Authentication is when NFC chip itself hold cross-signed signi

Wasnt it Anthropic marketing their models as very very smart and dangerous?

by SXX 4mo ago
AFAIK not all NFC-enabled passports support Active Authentication. E.g least before US passports did not support it so cloning them is as easy as reading them via NFC. So you cant fake non-existing passport because of issuer signature, but

If you have stolen IP designed for cutting edge processes you need about the same tech to produce said IP. Producing 10x of 10-years old GPUs is not exactly useful for modern AI codebases for instance.

It's even worse than that. Demand is so high so every next GB will be sligly more expensive. There is a lot of smaller hardware manufacturers that unable to secure DRAM chips at any price, there just no free capacity on market. Of cour

Of course if RAM prices crash Apple might of bring high RAM options back. We just cant bet on it as consumers. Right now RAM shortages are bad to the point where likely even Apple have to decide what products they make and what they discont

If they cared about local AI market they would price hike M3 Ultra instead of discontinuing them. After all they conviniently introduced RDMA just few months before that. Initially when it happened everyone expected they did it because they

They can do it, but that gonna need to be different SKU not Mac Studio. Otherwise news will be full of discussions about Apple price hike from $8000 to $24,000 or who the hell knows $48,000. So yeah the only way I see them selling it is usu

768GB RAM pipe dreams make no sense to Apple. By discontinuing 256GB / 512GB M3 Ultra and raising prices $5000 -> $7000 on Macbook pro with 128GB they basically confirmed how badly RAM shortage affecting them. 768GB is 64-times of 1
