They’re all paying each other. That’s literally the point this image is trying to express.

What’s especially insane is that the companies that are actually providing the service to end users, i.e. Coreweave et al, are not the ones seeing massively inflated prices, contrary to your point about the monthly fees justifying the higher evaluation.

I would be ashamed of myself and be tempted to leave the industry in disgrace if setting up DDNS and allowing a single port through a firewall took me 45 minutes.

The place I work says they do this and will claim with a straight face that our sprints are budgeted to allow approximately 20% slack time.

This is of course not even remotely true in any practical sense. I have not received an explanation for how it’s even possible when sprint targets are intentionally set at slightly more than was done in the previous sprint, every sprint.

Same. I use it very occasionally for parenthetical phrases because I just think it’s the most appealing way to do so.

Reddit had no monetary cost.

It’s much easier to stick to a boycott when it requires a layer of active acceptance and payment to acquiesce.

Reddit is just… there. A query on basically any search engine is going to serve you up reddit links, and clicking one of them costs you nothing.* Since you don’t have to commit to the decision there’s far less resistance to backsliding.

*Yes, I know, there is a privacy and personal content/traffic cost. We both know that’s not what I’m talking about.

I’m sorry, did you just “no actually” someone who was espousing books as disconnected entertainment?

Encryption and hashing are different things. You can’t get the original back out of a secure hash. They’re used only to confirm that whatever piece of data you have now matches the one that was provided originally, because they produce the same hash. You can’t store hashes for any data that you ever want to be able to read.

Wow. I hadn’t thought about movie bob in years. Thanks for ruining that.

I know that sounds ridiculous, since I can “simply not use them,” but I want to spend my money on an appliance, not a consumer data collection tool.

For what it’s worth you’re actually spending the manufacturer’s money (or at least some of their profit margin) on a data collection device that they won’t get to use.

Smart devices are cheaper because the data collection subsidizes them.

I won’t stand for this PowerShell superhero comic erasure.

Steam may share shaders between linux users with the same GPU, but I’m not sure.

It does.

It’s much less risky than it used to be. Journaling filesystems reduce the risk of filesystem corruption to near zero and are fairly ubiquitous now on non-removable media.

I will happily enable and use it once doing so doesn’t break any of my connectivity.

I’m not managing an enterprise network, it’s just my home, but my ISP doesn’t support IPv6 so that’s one extra layer of complexity right off the hop. On top of that internal services switch which previously required no manual configuration just seem to randomly not work.

IPv6 is not going to see widespread adoption unless it can be implemented completely transparently for the end user, full stop.

Compute will become pervasive, as in Windows experiences are going to use a combination of capabilities that are local and that are in the cloud.

…what does Davuluri think “pervasive” means?

I’m in exactly the same boat. Five linux machines in the house plus two windows gaming rigs, mine and my partners.

It goes a layer further than that even. If the rate at which that growth is happening isn’t itself growing then investors start getting nervous.

Alberta seems to have missed that memo.

The use of language like “unaware” when people are discussing LLMs drives me crazy. LLMs aren’t “aware” of anything. They do not have a capacity for awareness in the first place.

People need to stop taking about them using terms that imply thought or consciousness, because it subtly feeds into the idea that they are capable of such.

Raising a question means what you think it does. Bringing up a question which is a natural consequence or follow-up to a previously stated point.

The original meaning of begging the question is quite different and is a form of circular argument where the premise of an argument already assumes its conclusion is correct.

As the other person said, something is wrong if your machine is shutting down instead of just giving choppy playback.

Do you do much heavy CPU with with that machine at all? It’s possible that AV1 decoding is the only thing you’re trying to do that pushes the CPU to that degree. 7th Gen Intel CPUs have hardware decoders for h.265, so the CPU is barely used to play these back, but lacking a decoder for AV1 means it has to be decoded in software, which hits the CPU hard.
