  1. No no, the best part is that they're using the warehouses of idle cards as an asset to back loans to buy more cards they won't use
  2. It's likely there will be more efficient cards available by then, which will make the economics of the current cards suboptimal. At least that's what's happened in literally every tech cycle prior. The real problem is that they're incredibly specialized hardware, both in use case and in installation. They aren't like normal data center racks - they consume 6-10x more power per rack, and have a nonstandard networking stack that makes it ill suited to anything NOT genAI
  3. Most SMR's are rated for at most a hundred MW's, you'd need a yard full of mini nukes just to satisfy a single DC. And water is still a problem
  4. The wild thing is, even IF the buildings are built there isn't power and water utilities in place at the scale demanded to support those operations. Each data center damn near requires a full gigawatt nuclear reactor. EACH!
  5. I posted the article a couple weeks ago, but there's been CEO's of bigtech like Satya Nadella of MS saying they don't have enough power for all the GPU's they've bought. And there's other reporting on warehouses full of millions of dollars of GPU's with no timeframe to be put to use. Really what it means is there's a shitload of economic opportunity costs that have been eaten by the AI bubble, and now we're running low on gas Here's some good reporting on Michael Burry's work https://finance.yahoo.com/news/michael-burry-asks-photos-warehoused-223107967.html
  6. That's like the scene out of Lord of War with Nic Cage
  7. Much of the AI bubble spending has been on hardware they don't have data centers for. There's been a run on computer parts due to a debt-fueled buying spree that is driving up prices generally, and none of the hardware is even getting used to create revenue to pay back the debt
  8. The Moody Center has a self checkout line to buy beers and snacks and whatnot - there's a fucking tip ask in that checkout too! Tip for what?? Stocking the fuckin shelves??
  9. Man, I bet FIFA is feeling super embarrassed over that Peace Price now eh?
  10. Do we have the same in laws? It's the exact same thing with them - they act like they'd never vote for trump, but all their friends are MAGAs and their watch history is all fox news. I think they legit don't realize how far gone they are, but seeing his gay brother's marriage threatened I think is starting to cut through the fog
  11. Houston public water with no water softener, we go through CLR like crazy keeping the shower heads unclogged. Probably getting a softener installed in the near/medium term future. Honestly, just using the powder detergent instead of the puck (insert obligatory Technology Connections video on dishwashers) and putting in a pre-wash along with the main wash does a ton. Along with running the hot tap until hot comes out before starting the dishwasher, so the detergent is more effective
  12. Different appliance, but we got the Bosch 800 dishwasher and it's from the future. The whole thing is "top rack" safe, which is extremely handy with a toddler going through a ton of plastic plates and utensils every day. Super quiet and even the plastic comes out of it DRY. I am extremely impressed with Bosch, and would consider other major appliances from them
  13. My desktop chrome is still borked. Ive cleared caches and it works in incognito, but looking at the application panel in dev tools it's downloading two "js" files which doesn't seem right. I'm pretty sure that's a me problem and not a you problem though Edit: that makes sense with the "uuid has already been declared error" I posted previously
  14. Compliance requirements for those rule changes don't kick in until 2030, so I think it's just the manufacturers taking the opportunity to lower costs and blame duh gubmint for lower quality
  15. Fintech is a pretty broad category, but it makes sense that they'd be going all in on the latest tech trends. That's how they groom themselves for PE buyouts, which is always the endgame. And to be fair, most "coding" work isn't actually writing code. It's aligning with business partners to understand what is impactful for their operations, and crafting code to meet SLA at the lowest cost possible. Most of the time and effort isn't writing what's probably just a few hundred to thousand lines or code. It's making sure that the code that's written and services implemented will actually do something valuable for either the business or your customers. I have seen loads of useless services built and quickly abandoned just so IT managers and promotion seekers can claim they're doing good work, when they're really just making busy as a pickme tactic
  16. One step further - serving your $30/mo subscription is costing Anthropic a whole shitload more than $30 a month. They're burning money to lose money
  17. Yep there's uncaught rerence errors and an uncaught type error loading this page (posting this from my phone, screenshot from my desktop) Edit: wow that screenshot is missing pixels. Lmk how you'd like the error logs, if you want em
  18. I still can't post on desktop chrome from windows 11, the theme doesn't look like it does on mobile, and none of the banners or clickables on the page respond. Surly is whitelisted in all of my js blocking stack and I've done a hard cache refresh a couple times and it seems stuck on some old CSS style or something. I can't view notifications, or open the reply widget in a thread
  19. Add in a VR headset and baby you got a sim goin! I used to play Elite Dangerous with some friends that way, it was a blast
  20. Captainant replied to Heavy 6's topic in Cloak Room
    It is disappointing that shitheads get a free pass like that, and are free to continue pushing their bullshit on the board without a paper trail of their past bullshit. The good deacon and most of the rittenhouse fan club have had quite a bit whitewashed and memory holed
  21. I really wish they would remake TIE Fighter, it's too bad EA tried to turn Squadrons into a live service game
  22. But seriously, I believe it's just a browser setting now.
  23. I wouldn't mind a smaller footer on mobile, or a way to have the bar be static at the top of the page so I'm not losing as much screen space or risk or mistapping when expecting a keyboard to pop up
  24. Plus one to dead clicks on the desktop, windows 11 on chrome loads threads but I can't open the reply window on a thread. Posting from Samsung browser is fine
  25. It's different when folks are presented different prices at the same time. That's pretty plainly discriminatory, and just a step away from arbitrarily pricing certain demographics higher as a social punishment. The "AI" angle is a red herring - traditional machine learning models were being used for that a decade ago, this is just a shitty extractive unsustainable business practice
