This article sucks… I think they felt the need to excuse AI lest they upset corporate masters

While it’s easy to point the finger at AI’s unquenchable memory thirst for the current crisis, it’s not the only reason.

Followed by:

DRAM production hasn’t kept up with demand. Older memory types are being phased out, newer ones are steered toward higher margin customers, and consumer RAM is left exposed whenever supply tightens.

Production has not kept up with demand… demand being super charged by AI purchases

…newer ones are steered towards higher margin customers… again AI

consumer RAM is left exposed whenever supply tightens… because of AI

Ignorance… that is usually the root cause

Muricans are poorly educated, half can’t read past 6th grade level and most do not read unless forced to.

In this particular case they make fun of the French for not beating the Nazis in WWII because they probably saw it in a meme somewhere but their history knowledge does not go far back enough to realize how stupid they look when they do this “seriously”

stonk go up?

I was so impressed by logseq……until I realized my files are all managed in a database

Are you sure? In Linux all I see is a list of text files for all the pages and projects I have recorded. No DB

I believe there is a DB mode and an MD mode (I am on the MD mode and not sure if it will be decommissioned/transitioned later)

Logseq is better than obsidian and it’s not even at version 1 yet

amd for the win

Painful to pee?

Welcome to the club buddy! we’ve been waiting for you!

and keeping the cyberdumpster because?

…and the cyberdumpster,keebingthat because, reasons

They are no longer going to produce models S or 3 and declared themselves a “transportation as a service” company (so a taxi company instead of a car maker)

… and since yesterday, this is the only thing in the future of Tesla.

fElon just threw Tesla over a cliff

I agree… but the person calling them traitors does not have the authority to do that.

I believe it has to come from the gov of Alberta (traitors all as well) or the Federal gov.

I do expect some form of movement on this, strategically this is too dangerous to go unpunished

Nintendo is a MASSIVE game company, indie game companies could never produce their games the way Nintendo does. What a confounding example you chose from a company that is notably hostile to hobbiests and indie developers.

When Nintendo came out with the wii, they were laughed out of the room by Sony and MS because their games were too simple and graphics lacking… it was a huge success, that is what I meant… plenty of small, indie even, video game studios have and can produce huge hits… more importantly, they do not need to make a kajillion dollars to break even which means their games are not akin to armed robbery

Large game companies can create games that would be impossible for smaller indie studios to make, large game studios can offer employment of a nature that smaller indie game companies simply can’t.

I am not refuting that… I am refuting your claim that not having AAA games means the video game golden age is over… AAA video games have been mostly pain in the last 7 years… we can have tons of fun with no AAA titles

You are saying “If Mercedes Benz collapses, cars are over”… I am saying “there are plenty of other car makers to keep the industry as a whole”

I love indie games, don’t try to take the high road of claiming you have made yourself more pure by only playing indie games as if that was a solution, they are different categories.

Never claimed any of that… simply said I have fun with them and won’t miss AAA games

Don’t conflate workplace culture with the basic reality of working at a riskier, smaller company vs. a larger established company with longer and more predictable product development cycles. You wanna start a family while working at a tiny company that could go POOF if only one or two things go wrong.

What AAA Studio are you thinking of? which one has NOT laid off tons of people as soon as their very successful launches cash in?

I think your smashing of AAA games / their studios and a Golden Age of video games is borderline ridiculous.

I think history has shown (Nintendo specifically) that game play is king, you do not need a billion dollar project with ultra realistic graphics to have fun… many people, like me, have a ton of fun and rarely play any AAA games

The second part is also ridiculous (specially the family part) considering AAA Studios were the worst at exploiting their staff and lay them off the second the beta game was sold in early admissions

That happened last year bud

People don’t experience rapid weight loss because, in general, it’s not a good thing

Surely, most overweight people simply never lose the weight… but losing weight rapidly is itself unhealthy and most people who experience rapid weight loss do so because of trauma or disease

Here is a frog, please help me split its hairs

Ah, I see… thanks for the correction

they are not even been added to the kill list for 25 more years… it’s either not that urgent or this is just virtue signaling from politicians

ps: x for doubt on any “humanely” thing proposed by politicians
