I think the conclusion in the thread is sound. If money means something to you, then don't ask AI for help spending it. Problem solved.

Finding a new job, programmers are overpaid and the market has been saturated for about two decades now. San Francisco wages are the reason why so much development is outsourced without a second thought. That compensation will not persist

I think that's a misunderstanding of what the FSF stands for overall, though. The FSF can never be a diplomatic negotiator for the benefit of free software; they are idealists, even when it serves against their own interests. Their who

If you didn't consider these things before buying an H100 then I frankly wonder why you even bought it in the first place. Was CUDA burning a $30,000 hole in your pocket or something?

These are hospice-care level patches. The updated code in question is related to Xwayland and BSD CI pipelines - a Linux x11 user would not notice any difference in X11 from how it was last year, or the year before that.

Yep, this. I've actually noticed an even more sinister trend where accounts that are exactly 14 days old will automatically submit an extremely offensive or misleading story, simply to take advantage of their lack of green name. Thes

Because consumers will pay ~3-5x MSRP if the hype is big enough.

I doubt any big-time streaming services would sign onto that unless Apple ammortized the expected losses. The price of the headset means nothing to media rightsholders, they just want to sell their content to the platform with the largest a

The problem with this is that it's not an AR experience. If 6DOF video streaming takes off, then Meta is going to explode selling $400 standalone headsets. Apple doesn't seem to understand that they cannot rely on branding to comp

Can't argue with that. I'm still not super worried for Valve though; between Alyx , Deadlock , the Deck, and Proton, it's pretty clear that CS2 is less of a new norm and more of an outlier too popular to be announced dead a
