Charismatic (nazi)

They’ve been doing useful engineering things since the start, it’s just that it pales in comparison to all the bad things

If you’re running out of RAM you can use the faster CRAM instead of ZRAM which itself is already much faster than swap. Basically you can fit more data into your RAM

The issue is, any time I see a company pay a ton to advertise on YouTube, I distrust it.

The cut they give affiliate marketers is massive too, meaning the service is hella overpriced.

At least in my corner of the world, debit cards can be used anywhere online that requires credit cards, but at least some banks disable it by default so you have to enable online payments. 15 -20 years ago it was different and you HAD to have a credit card to buy shit off Amazon or Steam so most kids couldn’t get shit.

Ah fair enough then, let’s instead have invasive ID checks on every single online thing so nobody can have privacy online.

It’s going to be a ton of different factors I assume. Cars themselves have gotten significantly safer compared to 30 years ago and with each passing year, the are fewer old cars around. The exception being trucks which have gotten less safe for pedestrians unfortunately.

If we’re going to ban fossil fuels 100%, we need EVs to work for everyone. If we don’t ban fossil fuels altogether, people can continue driving old cars which is bad. I know I will.

Hibernation was useful when people shut down their machines (like, actually shut down, not sleep) and getting any process started was a slow ordeal. Nowadays you don’t really turn your computer off anyway. Windows doesn’t by default, at least. Newer laptops often don’t even support real sleep, you’re expected to keep them running 24/7.

And they wish you to understand that you should be prepared to pay more for better optimised software, but you’re not. If it takes significantly more time AND more experienced devs to build native applications versus webview based, the cost of building native might be as much as 5x more, but you can’t raise the price and you won’t get any additional sales, because people may complain, but nobody would pay extra for better performance.

Which one? Or, like, all of them? Naaaah.

I’ll let my friends living in apartments know they can run an extension cord from the 5th floor then lol, I’m sure there’s nothing unsafe about that.

Daily mileage isn’t the only factor either. I’m not sure why I would pay 30k for a used EV if it costs almost the same to charge per 100km as a diesel car worth under 2k takes to refuel per 100 km but takes much more time to do so. EVs start making more sense for people in apartments when public fast charging is nearly free, like charging at home is.

100k km is physically impossible to drive in a day, maybe you mean “in a single year”?

If you mean 100k meters (not sure why you just wouldn’t use km as an unit then), I have a few 200 km days a week, but the actual range anxiety comes from the fact that in the winter an EV loses a ton of range and if I need to use a public charger, I might as well just drive my current car instead of paying 15x as much to get into an used EV, since public charging is almost as expensive as diesel fuel.

Okay, now what about the people who don’t live in SFHs? I could charge at home most nights if I had an EV, but a lot of people literally can’t install chargers.

Can’t really start a new memory manufacturer without nation state backing anymore. China is doing it, has taken them several years to get production going and it’s still too slow to affect the market.

And a friendly reminder that boomers own far more than billionaires and as such are very much invested in the system. Your poverty allows them retirement.

Nah, join the dark side. There will soon be a day when you can’t understand the young ones anyway. Why not today?

I’m sure Bernie has good intentions but this is exactly what Altman and Amodei want and why they’re constantly shouting how dangerous AI is.

Any AI startup can then be labeled as developing artificial superintelligence. Not them though, they’re working together with the government.
