I have an open guest network with a captive portal, and not once have I seen my LG TV try to connect to it.

Seems like there is considering that Meta is currently selling their excess AI capacity.

I want as much misfortune as possible to befall OpenAI and Sam Altman after what they did to the memory market.

Well, they publish unit prices for everything, so you could just get to counting. Whenever I've had to do cost estimates, you estimate how much AWS resources you need and then times that by the unit price.

Reminds me of the time a Robinhood user killed themselves after Robinhood erroneously showed their account balance at -$730k.

I got freaked out by the mere fact that I got a billing alert, since getting one would require my monthly spend to have suddenly exploded.

Well, even if AWS tried to charge my credit card on file for $500k, it would definitely not go through. Then they’d probably either forgive your bill or just ban you, since I imagine the threshold for taking people to court is fairly high.

I hope they send out some free credits at least. I imagine quite a few people got a real fucking scare today. They haven't even sent out any corrections yet.

I went from 0.03€ to $8B.

I got one for 8 billion while I was eating lunch. Thankfully I managed to not vomit.

This seems a lot more sustainable than allowing me to trademark a tire company called "WinterTire" and enabling me to sue any other tire company that tries to capitalise on my trademark.

(And if WinterTire Co was anything like OpenAI, it'd be focused on making summer tires)

And to think that this could have all been avoided if they'd just renamed themselves something more appropriate after they decided to focus fully on developing closed models for profit.

OpenAI is already a well known name in Europe

Are there brand awareness surveys that back that up?

Same story, except that I could stop writing in cursive after middle school as nobody in high school could be bothered to demand it. The only remnants of my cursive writing days are as part of my signature.

It's fascinating how many people in this conversation think that LLMs need to have all of the files in your $CWD on the model provider's servers to be able to do anything.

Ireland's corporate tax rate is 12.5% but drops to 6.25% if it's qualified R&D and IP income with an added 35% R&D tax credit.

Or to 0.005% if you're Apple.

The Commission's investigation concluded that Ireland granted illegal tax benefits to Apple, which enabled it to pay substantially less tax than other businesses over many years. In fact, this selective treatment allowed Apple to pay an effective corporate tax rate of 1 per cent on its European profits in 2003 down to 0.005 per cent in 2014.

Isn't asking Google to not discontinue a product a bit like asking the tide to not rise?

I think you'd at least have to have the fallback DNS set to your local DNS resolver in order to get the server.internal resolved to a A record.

I use a registered domain with DNS validation and then CNAMEs that I resolve locally. Basically:

  1. Register a domain ("server.com") and put it on some public DNS that can do DNS validation with acme.sh.
  2. Use DNS validation to get a certificate on your domain from Let's Encrypt. You can just grab a wildcard one ("*.server.com").
  3. CNAME all of your services on a public DNS to an internal address ("email.server.com" → "server.internal", "plex.server.com" → "server.internal").
  4. Resolve your internal address on a local DNS server with an A record ("server.internal" → 192.168.0.123). This can often just be done on your router.

I'm also planning a new home server build now and the prices are definitely relatively ass. So far I've spent 820€ on two 22 TB WD Elements HDDs, 375€ on 2x16 GB DDR5 kit, and 520€ on two 2 TB M.2 SSDs (cache). About 1700€ and I still have no server to show for it. Doesn't help that I've been procrastinating on picking the CPU and motherboard.

As far as I know, Bluray discs are fairly decent in comparison to something like a DVD. In any case, I imagine the disc will live for longer than what Sony will keep their store up.

The sound insulation at your place must suck.

Did our demand for social media apps suddenly blow up? Because our DC demand seems to be blowing up.

Yeah, the only point where DCs employ a lot of people are during the construction period. Maybe good if you have a ton of excess electricity and you need to prop up your local construction industry for the next five years.

The person that does all of their computing on their phone doesn't care.

Budget phones are a category are getting fucked, and there's a pretty good chance the next iPhone is gonna cost even more than it does now.

This is why I will not be buying a PlayStation 6. I've had my Steam account for 20 years (21 come October) and I can still download every single thing I've ever bought there. Why should I invest in buying PS6 games when they're gonna be made obsolete by Sony?

I don't hate virtual decorations in apartment sales images, since it helps with trying to get a scale of the room, but the AI ones these days just make it completely impossible to trust. I've seen plenty where I have a hard time believing it could actually fit the furniture in the picture. Obviously a real estate agent should check that the images have realistic proportions, but there's no signal that I could trust them. It just says "decorated with AI" or something.

Just focus on answering the question.

Are you trying to instruct me like an LLM?

More competition will drive down the market price, so it'll be 10% below a price that is lower than what we have currently. Obviously it's not gonna go down immediately, but more supply will definitely bring down prices.

Obviously, this is very bad for the existing memory makers, since these boom prices will not last forever, and the Chinese aren't gonna stop selling memory once they are in the market.
