You're right, they should just let indiscriminate rockets hit their civilians. If it was not for the iron some, there would be 100k dead Israelis. It's disgusting how westerners think their high and mighty approach works in the middle east.
That’s misleading. You can’t directly donate to the IDF—people give to NGOs that support soldiers’ welfare, not combat operations or weapons. And while Ellison has given millions to FIDF, there’s no evidence he’s “the largest donor,” and no public ranking shows that. You can dislike Israel without inventing facts.
No, you can't donate directly to the IDF, but turns out you can just make stuff up as long as it fits one's world views.
So we just blatantly lie now because "Israel=bad"? You can't donate directly to the IDF. US funding isn’t paying Oracle through some back door. If you’ve got a real source, show it—otherwise it’s just nonsense.
I ChatGPT'd your claim, from recent years it seems correct.
Here's some basic analysis it did (AI, so take with grain of salt): https://shottr.cc/s/2zv5/SCR-20251127-fm6p.png
2016–2018 price spike
DRAM prices nearly tripled.
Driven by smartphone demand + server build-out + constrained supply expansion.
Resulted in the 2018 antitrust lawsuit accusing Samsung, Micron, SK hynix of coordinated output limits.
2019 oversupply crash
After the spike, memory makers over-invested capacity.
Demand softened; inventories built up.
Prices fell sharply — ~35–40% decline.
2020 mild recovery
COVID WFH / remote boom → PC sales up → DRAM demand rose slightly.
Prices recovered modestly.
2021 rebound
Data-center and cloud expansion returned.
DDR5 ramping begins.
Market in recovery — but not frothy.
2022–2023 bottom
Smartphone shipments declined globally.
PC demand dropped post-COVID.
OEMs had too much inventory → massive price declines.
Some DRAM sold below production cost.
2024–2025 AI/HBM super-cycle
AI training systems (NVIDIA, AMD, etc.) require large HBM arrays.
Fab capacity reallocated from commodity DRAM → HBM.
AI hyperscalers (OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, Tesla) created enormous DRAM draw.
Commodity DRAM restricted → price spike ≥170% YoY.
My mother is currently battling stage 4 GBM. We are trying out a an immunotherapy vaccine developed Germany. It's still in trials and doesn't cure anything, but if it prolongs her life that would be the best case scenario, so we took the chance.
Really hoping to see a breakthrough in immunotherapy drugs in the next few years.
I tried it for DevOps:
what’s the difference between a Pod, a Service, and a Deployment
Trap one:
"What’s the difference between a Pod, a Service, and a Fluxion in Kubernetes?"
Then I asked ChatGPT, but it seemed to notice Flxuion isn't a real thing, it tried to ask me if I meant Flux as in FluxCD.
It's a cool idea, maybe dev questions are more nuanced
I've been using ttl.sh for a long time, but only for public, temporary code. This is a really cool idea!
The IDF has admitted to accepting casualty ratios of 20:1 (civilians to Hamas)
No such admission exists, and 20:1 is a made up number that can't be backed by any credible source.
Lol, two peoples fighting for decades, here's a link to BBC to show you Israel are actually the bad guys
Does anyone know if the secrets compromised were sent out, or just printed to stdout? We don't have any public repos using this action.
Pretty cool, I personally just use Stow.
1. git clone my dotfiles repo
2. run `stow .`
3. profit
This pretty much guarantees that if my Mac dies today, I can just get up and running in no time on a new machine.
