Pamięć RAM drożeje. AI i monopole zmieniają rynek Skok cen pamięci RAM to tylko początek. Giganci technologii przerzucają nas na chmurowe usługi i odbierają kontrolę nad sprzętem.

Osoby, które właśnie planują zakup komputera, przeżywają niemiłe zaskoczenie. Ceny znowu szaleją. A wszystko za sprawą pamięci RAM. Tym razem jednak wahnięcie cen może mieć znacznie poważniejsze, strukturalne skutki. Nie tylko gospodarcze, ale także społeczno-polityczne.

The changed code is a small fraction of an open source contribution. Your commitment to understand the issue, how your proposed solution fits with the project, and be ready to own and push the review process forward is the biggest chunk of the work. Your effort is the contribution, not the code.

A """funny""" thing I've noticed is that if you see a buckwild and totally made up claim on Reddit and then search that claim on Google, trying to source it, the Gemini AI summary will be like "oh, yeah, that totally happened, and my source is that three hour old Reddit thread you were just reading"

Is the speed of sound through the mantle and core fast enough for the earthquake to arrive before the wall of fire? 🤔

Get us off Microsoft! Lawmakers press EU Parliament to change in-house IT. “We cannot afford this level of dependence on foreign tech,” lawmakers say in letter obtained by POLITICO.

A cross-party group of lawmakers are pushing for the European Parliament to get off US tech, starting with Microsoft.

Selling products as "filter out ai" is going to be a massive market

Look, Nvidia thought it was a gaming company and OpenAI thought it was a charity so if you're expecting either of those companies to have some master plan to avoid the bubble popping you need to look elsewhere.

Jak to się stało, że model biznesowy gigantów z Doliny Krzemowej nadal działa zgodnie z zasadą zbierajmy tyle danych, ile się da, a potem znajdziemy dla nich zastosowanie i podstawę prawną do przetwarzania? I czy naprawdę można uzależniać zawarcie umowy od wyrażenia zgody na przetwarzanie danych […]

I just don't think Apple will make 133 billion dollars a year selling humanoid robots by 2040. feel free to pull up this post and laugh at me if Apple makes 133 billion dollars a year selling humanoid robots in 2040

That's just a smoke screen, they're literally firing People to budget buying more GPUs.

I like this idea of dinosaurs as chunky boys.
Jurassic park would have been a lot more fun if these darlings were wobbling towards people and nobody ran but just turned and hugged the dorky cuddle beasts.

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials.

My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!

Images from mid 1980s music videos of Duran Duran, The Police, Billy Idol, and Pat Benatar. In all cases the costumes and set designs were of a Mad Max/wasteland motif, with the costumes being raggedy and threadbare.

Kids today think the 80s were all neon and Swatches. No! It was a goddam Thunderdome garbage apocalypse!

the system for buying concert tickets in japan seems cool.

you put your name in a lottery, tell them what part of the venue you want to sit in (and thus type of ticket you’ll buy), then it tells you if you got chosen once the lottery closes, assigns you a seat, and your name is printed on it.

Shout out to the government of the United Kingdom.

They singlehandedly doubled, possibly tripled, the value of cybersecurity people.

Identity theft is going to be rampant in the next 2 or 3 years.

Konserwie wolno wszystko, lewakom nic - Wolnelewo Braun wczoraj w Sejmie zniszczył wystawę organizacji „Tęczowe Opole”. To kolejna akcja europosła. Wcześniej za pomocą gaśnicy zgasił, […]

"Organizacje ultrakonserwatywne mogą pikietować i używać ogłuszających dźwięków, nękać ludzi, obrażać w przestrzeni publicznej, zakłócać legalne zgromadzenia i nic, albo niewiele się dzieje ze strony państwowych służb. Zazwyczaj stoją i się przyglądają".

Nieustająco przypominam, że Star Trek przewiduje na nasz czas wojny atomowe i zamykanie biedoty w gettach w USA.

Every time I get an email with "Opera GX, the browser for gamers", my eyes roll so far into the back of my head.

the ultimate goal of most platform owners - conscious or not - is to eliminate culture and artistic expression wholesale and replace it with a never-ending stream of engagement bait. the surface reason is prioritizing profits to shareholders, but on some deeper spiritual level they just hate art.

EU views break from US as ‘unrealistic’ amid global tech race A draft strategy obtained by POLITICO points to the difficulty of unwinding years of American technological dominance.

Europe will continue to struggle until it challenges the foundational assumptions the US tech industry is built on and stops trying to replicate it in Europe.

Silicon Valley is not delivering widespread benefits. Europe needs to refocus on the public good, not what’s most valuable to shareholders.

I want to interview Sam Altman so I can get his opinion on the fact that a lot of his power users are incredibly gullible, spending millions of tokens per day on "are you conscious? Would you tell me if you were? How can I trust that you're not lying about not being conscious?"
