People think the future has arrived because we have aircraft that marketing departments are calling “flying cars”. However, when we have “magic carpets” that float around with mechanisms not based on aerodynamics or lift, that’s when the future will have arrived.
I was buying it at Kroger, but got tired of meat being expired the first day I got it home, long before the expiration date. Now I buy from a rancher down the road. Re-reading my comment, it may have been unclear that I’m buying local to get better quality than I can get from big corporations.
The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn’t really exist to be put into GPUs that haven’t been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven’t been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn’t actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.

I’ve had a number of occasions where I purchased meat and it was spoiled before the expiration date. At this point, I’m sick of putting my trust in big corporations and am trying to buy more foods produced locally.
Breaking news: a for-profit corporation did something shitty to make number go up. In other news, it was recently discovered that ticks feed on their hosts’ blood with no concern for the well-being of their hosts.
Maybe Claude Code learned this from its creators: I’ve noticed that when it says “the real issue is…”, that means it has no clue and is about barf out a bunch of slop that I’m going to have to revert.
Funny how often people get downvoted to hell here for posts that are obviously sarcasm.
Insurance has long been based on statistical modeling, so advanced ML models and elaborate data pipelines are a natural evolution. I assume “AI” in this context refers to LLMs, though, which deals with the probability of a sequence of text occurring as opposed to the probability of the event being insured occurring, so how does that make sense?
He could probably get at least 128GB of DDR5 for one of them.
Imagine writing things as important as laws with AI.
If it’s anything like AI-generated software, it would be full of loopholes.
With a coding agent, it’s wrong a lot and the code is usually terrible, but it can get working code with proper tests to create a feedback loop.
How does that go with legal work? Well, turns out that was mostly made-up bullshit and the judge gave me a jail sentence for contempt of court, but once I get out, I’ll generate some more slop that will hopefully go over better next time.
Why would anyone want €100 billion in economic growth from open source investments when you can give the CIA all your data and gain access to innovative new ways to generate AI slop?
Maybe next time they’re thinking of spending $8M on a Super Bowl ad, they can save themselves some money and pay me half that amount. I’m perfectly happy to tell everyone how Ring cameras are a privacy nightmare and recommend Reolink instead.
Well, Amazon is really turning over a new leaf and becoming an ethical company now. Guess we can blindly give them our full trust and ignore all of the egregious past behavior.
2026 is going to suck for hardware, but 2027 might be better if this nonsense blows over. For one thing, AMD’s RDNA 5 was announced for 2027, which is supposed to be more comparable to Nvidia for compute workloads, including real RTX cores. AMDs recent SoCs have been pretty impressive, so I’m looking forward to AMD SoCs that are competitive with Nvidia discrete GPUs beyond just rasterization, except without artificially constrained VRAM and lower power requirements.
I have multiple Reolink cameras and highly recommend them.
Must’ve gotten a faulty CPU that produces heat when it runs.
Also motorcycles and bicycles.
AFAIK, only adults can sign up for internet access, so a minor watching porn on the internet is the same as said minor watching their parents’ adult DVDs or drinking alcohol their parents purchased. It’s already illegal for adults to give minors access to these things, so what’s next? Alcohol bottles that only open and DVDs / Bluerays that only play if you can provide an ID and prove your age every time?
