It's so over. They leverage debt to buy these things and NVIDIA is egging them on. The datacenter companies don't have the market and even worse, they can't even install the new hardware that they are buying and GPUs are just sitting idle. They buy this on debt well on advance because every CEO is fearing that they will miss out in the future if they don't buy today. That money needs they need to paid back, but where is the money going to come from if they are not using the product? Next is Nvidia going to come in the next few years with a new product and say that all the continuously depreciating silicon that they have in their datacenters running half capacity and in warehouses sitting idle is now shit and here is the latest model, now pay up piggy. What then?

They really aren't GPUs in the traditional sense. You can't plug them into computers and play games or do rendering. They are meant to sit in datacenter racks and do AI inference, so they are E-waste for any other application. Since we don't have enough demand for inference they will end up on dumps.

You really can get far in management with charisma, ass-kissing, boundless optimism and ability to take credit on everything. None are really markers for smart or technically minded person, or even a moral one.

As it should. If it's a product, then it's Google's faulty product. If they try to pull some shit that AI has agency, personhood or is a legal individual then they should slap google on the account of the applicable slave labor law.

Fuck this 10 year old game and it's 200 linux players specifically.

This is like the tech equivalent of consulting the village shaman or wisewoman for some serious disease.

Imagine the possibilities for piracy and secure messaging (provided that the birds don't snitch on you).

"The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the 'celebrities' will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels," the ministry added.

They will toss the aid to the wood chipper and laugh about it, won't they...

What Linus is saying that LLM review is finding decades old esoteric bugs in the kernel code, like dirtyfrag. And the amount of bugfixes and mitigations are pushing the update sizes up. This is making the kernel more secure and stable in the long run. It will be just a rocky couple of years.

they are NOT vibe coding the kernel.

Have you ever seen the commercials from late 1800s where there is the word "electricity" in everything. Electrotherapy for every ill and electric solution for every type of drudgery, electrolyte drinks and whatnot. Same came with discovery of radioactivity. Radium drinks for long life and all that. AI is the modern buzzword for the modern snakeoil salesman.

Why do kill switches when you can just hog all the work of maintaining some critical part of the infrastructure and make it's functioning and maintenance so opaque and impenetrable that the employer can't replace or fire you without their shit catching fire soon after. It doesn't have to be malicious or illegal.

His efforts to sabotage their network began that year, and by the next year, he had planted different forms of malicious code, creating "infinite loops" that deleted coworker profile files, preventing legitimate logins and causing system crashes

I wish this guy was were actually politically motivated, but he seems to have been just really petty minded person.

ahem... fuck AI.

All the big adult sites will probably just die or at least shrivel in popularity. Most Europeans simply will not use whatever "tell Brussels or London where or what what you are watching" option is. In the place of the big sites there will be a billion shady and likely virus-lottery proxy sites whose only selling point is that they do not do age checking or require registration. Those then get occasionally smacked down by Brussels, just to be replaced with 10 more clones the by the next week. On the side piracy and vpns will thrive. Kids will not be protected nor will people's privacy, quality will be worse.

I would also bet that when the landscape decentralizes there will be a lot more cp, revenge and peep-videos and other illegal shit in the mix that will get through through the cracks since massive established sites had to actually fear shutdown and losing all revenue unless they had robust gatekeeping mechanisms. If Brussels wants your 2 month life-expectancy site dead anyway, because of it's only selling point of having to show id, then why really bother with the quality control of the material. Especially if site holder has no personal qualms about that stuff.

Every American company is loyal to the empire. If not by gleeful obedience then at least by threat of court orders and political pressure. I guess in Google's case it's that kind of gleeful obedience.

Never self host email. It's way too much of a pain.

Ban only meant to create perceived value and hype for these models.

Water is wet, researchers find

Like basic thermodynamics can tell you that carbon capture sucks efficiency wise. It's more work to pour water on the floor and then mopping it up and putting a back into the bottle, than just not not spilling the water in the first place.

yikes. Said by a converted catholic.

Absolute financial parasitism. This is why we can't have nice things. People who own a license of something critical can just sit on their asses decades on end and collect unearned income from other companies who will in turn move to cost to the consumers.
