I feel like everyone here forgets that the DRAM industry is operated by one big cartel. The rules of supply and demand don't apply here. Now that prices are up, they will keep it up, cutting supply as needed in order to do so. Every bi

Sites are getting too overzealous with blocking IMO. I got blocked for several hours by huggingface simply because my download didn't complete and I had to retry. It gave me error 429, suggested I login, and the login page wouldn'

Correct:Also, archive.* has actively edited archived sites to promote their agenda. Why folks continue to use them confuses me. One would think the big wikipedia purge would curb such behavior.

Enabled them, you mean. LLMs are basically really advanced auto completion engines. They have no real desire to do anything. The HF incident was absolutely staged along with other incidents that have been brought up. Before you assume I am

You are looking at this backwards. The average user DOES hold the site complicit. The issue is that there are many hundreds of millions (possibly billions) of sites serving Google ads. 1 user avoiding/blacklisting 1 site due to scam&#x

The second you load JS onto your page, you lose that ability, you know that, right? the scammy ads aren't limited to that tiny little box you designate for ads. Advertisers work around that limitation pretty easily, and you should also

Sure, cross-platform frameworks were great. I do think LLMs are changing the game, however. If you have a robust set of tests, it's much easier to maintain native versions of an app, compared to the past.

What is this nonsense even about? Site I’ve never heard of making bombastic claims without any citations. Can someone please provide context and sources? Because this looks like a hoax or something? Edit: just so we are clear, I’ve no idea

This takes me back. I had to do something similar, but in ASP (Classic), with .ppt files, and with dynamic data that was modifiable by the user. Quite an interesting rabbit hole. I eventually was able to build a solution using some COM comp

I suspect they no longer recommend either because either can download/execute scripts that Mozilla can't review, and the recommended extensions are reviewed, so they don't want to give users the wrong impression. I could be w

IMO, That's the case for all subject areas. It is also one area where AI excels at, and it could be of real use if we can find a way to stop hallucinations. The sum of all knowledge being at our finger tips would allow everyone to focu

Size is an issue, but it isn't just about size. Ideally, agile development builds linearly in complexity. Rather than dumping a huge new feature, first introduce the building blocks and the reason you are introducing them, then the glu

ALL chip designs are an exercise of minmaxing these 3 variables: 1) power 2) performance 3) die area SOME chip designs also care about a 4th: 4) die area. NO design has the best of all...it is impossible since you have to trade 1 for anothe

Started reading, however I wanted to add this in: a lot of people expect RISC-V to do too many things, and nearly all of those things are "beat every other architecture out there in every way/shape/form, while also being open

IMO this is getting hyped because the 27b version runs on a decent gaming GPU. This is NOT a thread for their largest model, this model will run on a mid-high end gaming PC, which you probably have in your household. Mine is 6 years old and

I haven't tried lowering thinking, however, I actually asked a solid question earlier regarding a real world scenario I encountered and all that excessive thinking made it give me an amazing answer. The thinking actually all made sense

Thinking is turned up to max by default. You can turn it down. Unsure why they did this.

Everyone focuses on the frontier models, and they act like everything else is useless. The gap between say, Qwen 3.8 and the frontier models is not as large as you assume, and things on the local front have made significant gains in the pas

Some models have built in cellular as well, so it's possible to use one without your phone entirely.

Disagree. Why connect them to the internet? They should be super hardened against attacks, and should NOT have a physical connection to the internet. Same with electrical infrastructure. Network access? Possibly, however that network should

It’s not hard to make a functional standard, the USB folks just don’t care, IMO. If they had simply worked on better naming, things would be much more clear. (now they’d need to do something crazy like USB-C 40G PD60 as a name in order to f

Definitely a regional problem. Also, why are you folks wholesale signing up for text message notifications? If you didn't, ask yourself how they got your number? If you use a site that actually requires a number, give them a Google Voi

One of the big rules of commerce is that competing on price is generally a no-no for large markets. Usually, the powers that be would rather compete on a perceived value; that is how “informal price collusion” works. Price/cost is the
