But the effects on the industry as a whole are huge, look at the cost of memory, CPUs and GPUs. Many of the companies that make them are not private.

I'm glad I don't live in California (or America in general) but this is such BS. I don't think we will have much of this in Europe because guns are pretty rare here and so is ammo. We just don't really have gun problems

If this is the way things are now, isn't that going to crash the AI stocks? All those trillions dumped into it probably weren't with the expectation that it could only be sold to a handful of select US agencies and corporations.

If you live in a historical rental flat you often can't install AC. Also we do tend to consider the environment here. All the heat kept out doesn't have to be pumped.

Kids won't see these things unless they go looking for them and most of those things will not be under age verification anyway. And misleading advertisement has been a thing of forever and it's not going to go away becasuse too ma

Haha a backdoor ban, I see what you did there ;) And yes that usage of the law by linking LGBT content to porn is something I've seen in Europe like in Hungary too. But even in the Netherlands, one of my friends is always foaming at th

Well it means nobody can avoid their extortionate upgrade pricing anymore so I think that decision paid off well for them. The first thing I used to do when getting a Mac Mini was ripping out the memory and sticking in the max I could get.

I know but what I mean is it's a lot of hassle just to visit something. And many devices I have like my VR headset don't have an NFC reader to validate some govt ID.

Yeah. Didn't you find your dad's dirty VHS tapes when you were young? I'm sure most of us did. And we turned out fine. And no, porn isn't more extreme these days either. I remember seeing bukkake, golden showers etc on b

Yeah great idea, having to get out your government ID every time you want to use a website.

Microsoft doesn't care about xbox like they care about copilot. Watch any video from Microsoft leaders of the last years. It's all copilot copilot copilot. Not Xbox Xbox Xbox. I mean it makes sense because "investors" ar

When Apple isn't big enough things are really screwed up. I remember when they basically bought up all of TSMCs capacity for a year.

I kinda prefer oled screens so for me a foldable phone is much nicer than a kindle. Especially at night.

Ah but you can do that too with moonlight :) Though I rarely game on the TV, for me it's uncomfortable.

Does getting paid more make people smarter? Especially academia tend to do their work out of interest, their monetary gain isn't their primary goal

What are those to be created jobs going to be doing that AI won't be able to? There's two big differences with the steam machine: this change is happening much faster so society has much less time to adapt, and it's got a muc

What's the difference? I always play on pc with my Xbox controller and it's the same as on a console. I could imagine PC gamers are less interested in online and the whole shark card thing though. IMO that's really damaged th

by wolvoleo 4mo ago
But isn't that also a result of them always releasing their games much later than on console? PC gaming has been on the rise.

But most of that is nothing to do with compute. A rack of servers is all compute. Starlink sats are antennas, RF amplifiers, solar panels, laser links, shielding, even maneuvering thrusters and fuel for those (they could be electrical ion t

Also big companies spend tons and tons of time and money on useless busy work. I work in IT and when we needed something new we'd just implement or build it. Now we have long certification processes for anything new, checking if it com

If you look at how small a Starlink sat is, and how much of that space is taken up by power generation and storage, antennas, signal conditioning, RF electronics and more, I'm sure that whatever resources are running the computing in t

I honestly think musk wants them there because they are hard to reach. I do really think that if large numbers of jobs are indeed going to be displaced by AI, movements will pop up of people attacking datacenters (and honestly I wouldn&#x27

It's not, it's more like a space based network, the processing and storage is minimal.

It depends a lot on things like geology and some people are a lot more sensitive. It is really an issue. I don't have any datacenters near me but I can hear some heavy hums from the washing machine 3 floors up when it put my head on my

I really like how gboard handles it. It figures out what language I'm typing from the first couple of words and prioritises those. This way I can even mix languages within the same sentence and it will still recommend the right ones. I

Well neither is perfect. But I really need that multilingual typing. Constantly switching is so annoying. I won't use the FUTO one until it can do that. It's not some minor nice-to-have. Gboard has obvious imperfections like dat

by wolvoleo 4mo ago
Sounds good but the big problem I have with futo key board is that it can only do one language at a time. With gboard I can swipe type al 3 languages I speak without having to constantly switch. I wish they could make that.
