Absolutely not, Trump is going to get his bribe. The only one who gets a freebie is daddy Putin because it sure would be a shame if he started leaking the files he has on Trump.

Sure it’s a useful skill but not one in significant demand. We have an absolute glut of MBAs and a desperate need for anything but an MBA so why are we paying people to get more MBAs?

The point is we don’t need more MBAs, we need people educated in useful skills. Should every MBA program be closed? No probably not, but we definitely have way more than we need. Cutting funding for things like MBA scholarships and closing down the majority of those programs will go a long way towards moving the majority of potential future MBA students into useful programs. We need less managers and more engineers, fewer CEOs and more chemists, hell fewer analysts and more plumbers.

There are many problems with modern capitalism and even if we never handed out another MBA degree again that would not even remotely solve everything, but the MBAs are making the problem worse. It’s a minor thing but it’s an easy thing to do and it would make a difference small as it is.

This isn’t his own UN, this is just a blatant way to bribe Trump in the hopes that you’ll get something out of it. Like all Trump cons the only ones who will be paying into this are suckers or people that already have leverage on Trump and can guarantee compliance (in which case this is just an extra money laundering step).

China is pushing hard to make their domestic brands the new standard world wide so they’re not worried about whether the bubble pops or not. They want to drive prices down even if that means selling at a loss because they know that’s what it’s going to take to dislodge the entrenched players. For better or worse it’s likely a winning strategy because the existing players are more concerned with maximizing their quarterly profits rather than meeting any kind of consumer demand or indeed even selling to consumers at all.

I doubt it will take a couple years. They’re burning through so much cash right now that they’ll be bankrupt in a couple years and despite sunk cost fallacy they won’t let it get that bad. At some point they’ll cut their losses and pivot to some other new fad. The small handful of uses that make sense will stick around and a few companies will be in just the right place to make it turn a profit but the vast majority won’t. Some will go bankrupt (if we’re lucky Meta and/or X will be one of them) and some will just write it off as a failed experiment. Either way just as hard as prices spiked we’ll see them cratering before they rebound back to normal. Six months would be highly optimistic, but a year probably isn’t out of the question.

Of course all of this might be moot if Shitler manages to start WW3 by attacking Greenland. If that happens RAM prices will be the least of everyone’s worries.

It was in the news sometime around the middle of Biden’s term. At the time there was a lot of discussion about if it was real or not, some kind of disease or being caused by something, environmental or some kind of weapon, etc. There were a lot of people reporting symptoms and very little common between them all except for a lot of them having worked in the same regions/buildings.

Don’t even need to turn it off, it literally can’t do anything without somebody telling it to so you could just stop using it. It’s incapable of independent action. The only danger it poses is that it will tell you to do something dangerous and you actually do it.

The Nvidia PR team. They keep trying to spin more data centers and even more of the US GDP being gobbled up by slop generation as some kind of consumer win but nobody is buying it and their whining is starting to annoy Jensen.

In the late 90s I saw a piece demonstrating an optical 3d storage system that had a capacity about an order of magnitude greater than the at the time brand new HD DVD and Bluray discs. I assumed this clearly superior format that already had a working demo would obviously kill other optical media. Turns out nobody could figure out how to manufacture one at a price anybody was willing to spend.

Entirely not the point.

Be careful with this statement, there’s two very different ways this could be interpreted. I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you’re alluding to the end of WWII and how Hitler chose to leave it, but it could also be interpreted to refer to the start of WWII.

Pretty much just embarrassment, although it could also be to prevent having to testify. He of course knew the kinds of things he and his goons (many of whom coincidentally also work or worked for Trump) got up to and in an impeachment a lot of that would potentially become public. He was likely done either way and at least this way nobody would ever know exactly how bad it really was.

There have been three distinct turning points for the Republican party. The first was Nixon which marked the point at which Republicans stopped trying to compete on good policy and started trying to weaponize hate and fear as well as went all in on dirty tricks. The second turning point was Reagan which was when they cemented their messaging around trickle down economics (formerly known as horse and sparrow theory) and really began pushing hard for late stage capitalism. The third was the election of Trump which is when the party abandoned all pretense of decorum and went full mask off on their greed and corruption.

Maybe you should stop assuming things before commenting. And in general. You might also want to reread the article you seem to have skipped some important details.

Eh, maybe. The actual performance seems to be unknown. They’re assuming the geekbench score is legitimate, but there’s no way to really know exactly how well it will do when it actually ships. It’s probably safe to assume somewhere between the two, but either way it’s not competing with current gen AMD or Nvidia cards, and might not even be competing with current Intel GPUs.

I was basing that on the quote saying it rivals a 4060.

Seems like no matter what country you’re talking about the rich would rather do anything but address the underlying problem as that would mean a less extreme wealth gap.

Sounds like it’s about equivalent to Intel’s latest GPU. Both are running about a little over a generation behind AMD and Nvidia. Meanwhile Nvidia is busy trying to kill their consumer GPU division to free up more fab space for data center GPUs chasing that AI bubble. AMD meanwhile has indicated they’re not bothering to even try to compete with Nvidia on the high end but rather are trying to land solidly in the middle of Nvidia’s lineup. More competition is good but it seems like the two big players currently are busy trying to not compete as best they can, with everyone else fighting for their scraps. The next year or two in the PC market are shaping up to be a real shit show.

Well anything the Heritage Foundation is against is clearly a good idea, so Europe should be proud that on the whole they’re doing a good job. Keep pissing off the Heritage Foundation to keep winning.

Apparently some are even opting to reinstall Windows 7 rather than the trash fire that is 11. It seems like 10 was never loved, merely tolerated, and as MS continues to enshittify 10 in an attempt to force people onto 11 some are just going back to the previous good version of Windows.
