I feel that even if the bubble bursts hardware prices will still take years to normalize. So no clear benefit for the average consumer here.

Go at ebay and search for RTX 4090 48GBs. There's plenty of them with prices around $3.5k

Untouchable my ass. You get a PC that has an ssd glued to the motherboard so if you run write intensive workloads and that thing wears out replacing it will have significant cost. Then there’s no PCie slot to get any decent network card if

I’m bored of using the AI for anything other than my work. Because with my work I can give very detailed and structured prompts and get the best results, while also being able to evaluate the answer. For everything else I’m kinda worn out b

Thank God for uMatrix. Seriously, I don't know how I lived without that thing. Load times on everything are at least 30% faster.

I don’t understand why you’re downvoted. Hitler considered him an inspiration and praised him in Mein Kampf. Ford funded and published “The Dearborn Independent” which was a newspaper full of libel against Jews. Sure he was a visionary indu

You’re not paying to chat. This isn’t therapy. You’re paying to see content and the chat is supposed to be complementary for support reasons.

You pay an $1k extra just to get the model with 1TB disk. How is that a steal?

Meanwhile, you're paying top dollars to a consulting firm that resolves back to an LLM to provide its services.

Go to a cooking lesson, a dancing lesson, a climbing lesson, a music lesson or a whateverthefuck lesson. That’s like a dummy’s way to socialize and find some people to hung around.

Facebook recently flagged my account and asked for a video selfie and I decided that I'd rather leave that shithole than uploade biometric data.

Macs or a strix halo. Unless you want to go lower than 8-bit quantization where any GPU with 24GBs of VRAM would probably run it.

Or you can get a strix halo from AMD. They run about $2k from various Chinese brands, or a bit more from Framework. 128GBs of unified RAM are plenty for most models, although memory bandwidth is slower than in a mac.

Apart from the UI which is crap since their last major update. There are menu options everywhere, two ribbons on the top, a hamburger menu on the right and another on the left. For a long time you opened Thunderbird and it didn't defau

AI overview though is crap. It almost always gives wrong answers and contradicts things that are in the results.

Gemini loves to assume roles and follows them to the letter. It's funny and scary at times how well it preserves character for long contexts.

There have been discussions about this chip here in the past. Maybe not that particular one but previous versions of it. The whole server if I remember correctly eats some 20KWs of power.

The lighting is wrong, that's what's telling to me. They look too crisp. No proper shadows, everything looks crystal clear.

He allegedly spent $70M to market that dreadful documentary about Melania Trump. Surely he could afford spending that much every year to keep an historic paper afloat.

There’s an abundance of public data on people’s interests (their comments and reactions to posts), which we evaluate with our in-house AI agent to build high-intent contact lists. That's fishy and depending on the jurisdiction it cou

How do we know that ad revenue will be huge? 80% of the questions that I ask can't be monetized because they're not about purchase intent. And even if they could, has OpenAI built an auction system to bid on keywords? How exactly

The difference for me is that 20+ years ago if you went to an online community there was no filter to protect you. You’d have to choose wisely what to say and avoid being confrontational because there was the very possible chance of someone

This assumes everyone’s sitting on a fast fiber connection which is hardly the case. Even metropolitan areas in most cities don’t have universal fiber connection.

The next best thing then is to try weight lifting exercises for the hands. This also helps a lot because it strengthens the muscle.
