Mac ultras would be great if they offered pcie slots to put nvme drives on and ideally an infiniband network card.

I don't expect them to change their entire pipeline. But surely they could offer a unified RAM lineup that caters to specific needs. Not everyone needs that fast RAM access but for those who do it could be nice to have an option. The w

1.2TB/s memory bandwidth from a CPU. Oh boy. What the fuck is Intel doing all this time and can’t deliver equivalent performance?

It is a thing and not only in U.S. I live in Greece and my girlfriend can’t sleep if she’s not covered by something even if it’s in the middle of August and it’s scorching Earth outside. She says she feels vulnerable without a cover. I on t

They do require retooling and that's what's happening here. RAM manufacturers decided that it's way more lucrative to focus on HMB production than DDR 4/5 production. Capacity is the issue and that's capped unless y

A fab costs $15-20bn and it takes at least five years to build. Plus it requires expertise that none of these companies have.

Because RAM isn’t in PCs only. It’s in tablets, phones, laptops, DIY computers like the Raspberry, mini PCs, watches, smart TVs, game consoles, cars, routers, cameras, all smart appliances from refrigerators to washing machines, fitness tra

Bought a second hand Dell server a week ago. The entire rig with a 12-core CPU and 32GB DDR4 ecc RAM cost as much as I'd pay to buy 64 GB of DDR RAM alone. I hope there's an end to this absurdity soon enough otherwise the pain wil

Sure, let's hide everything behind obscure schemes which will definitely serve the spirit of openness of the web.

Possible yes, probable not likely. The moment you're issued a certificate your domain will be shown in the Certificate Transparency logs which are constantly monitored from anyone who wants to find new sites.

Because their strategy wasn’t to become leaders but to be as good as it takes to erode the lead of others. They have the cash cow of search so they don’t rely on AI to succeed. All they need is to keep publishing new products/services

I wish they could remove the AI overview crap that's dysfunctional and kills the very spirit of a search engine's premise. You're not supposed to steal links from sites Google. That's a fucking dark pattern.

Problem is that Google practically invented LLMs. So it’s not like they’d sit around while you try to eat their lunch.

He's also the guy who bought Instagram for $1bn and turned into a $70bn behemoth. If that's out of touch then I don't know what the opposite would be.

Too little too late. I was a long time advocate of German cars, owned a bunch of them but after this fuckery with touch screens everywhere I moved to other brands and I’m staying there for the foreseeable future. BMW, Mercedes and VW have r

If this was true then they’d build services around those models and provide those for free or vastly cheaper than western competition. But that’s not what they’re doing. Instead they’re giving away the entire model for free. And by the way,

This is obviously a strategic move at a national level. Keep publishing competing free models to erode the moat western companies could have with their proprietary models. As long as the narrative serves China there will be no turn to propr

I'd go with an iPad instead of the mini just to be on the safe side. I have a 12" tablet and it's night and day compared to my 6" Kindle (2020 model). Kindles suck if you try to read pdfs, they don't scale naturally

The market is already stagnated. Even if OpenAI doesn’t buy what they reserved other players will do so. SK Hynix CEO said there is a 20% gap between supply and demand per year. And that doesn’t account the shock effect that will take place

It should but it’s a hard problem to solve. Programmatic ads require whatever check you’re doing to happen in sub-second speeds. No AI can solve this fast enough. Embeddings take forever to run.

Support, that's what you'd use them for. Something breaks and your team can't figure it out? You make a phone call and someone will be there in a jiffy to work things out. And if he can't either they'll fly a whole
