They’re talking about their own “industry”, not the entire gaming industry, right? Riiight?

There’s plenty of affordable stuff. But I’m not the target audience for their 50 or 60 € release titles. And my backlog is long enough either way.

And the RAM crunch isn’t projected to get better anytime soon.

Projections by whom? What timeframe does “soon” cover?

With increasing objections, blocking, and cancellations of data centers, and some big-name AI companies going public soonish, and the recent OpenAPI finance press… it could be “soon”, within a few months, that it could get better. It’s certainly not a certainty, maybe even unlikely, and can’t be “projected” from the current RAM market alone, but if you want to hope…

The video is quite long. If they wrote about the video specifically, and GN has no text article, there’s value in that in my eyes. For a different format and significant condensation or highlighting.

Only semi-related to the roadmap and release notes mentioned, but;

I hate the new what’s new page that opens after updates. What I want is the release notes, not some huge bannered colorful vast marketing ad space. Until three versions ago it was fairly simple to at least scroll down to open the link. Now it is hard to spot in the violent, pushy, irritating ad space. And it pushes mostly the same stuff every time. Very annoying.

Chrome and Edge are even worse, of course, not even linking technical/complete release notes. But doesn’t change the worsening on Firefox.

May very well be [continued] coercion.

“Some things are simply more important than revenue ​cycles, clickbait, and pre-IPO valuation. America First. Always,” Davies said.

Too bad you can never trust what the current gov claims. Only the inner circle knows what the real reasons are.

Not being required to block for US citizens is pretty bonkers, too, from a security perspective. Blocking it entirely is the right call; the only call that makes technical and security sense.

As for the “expert opinions”, I’m still wondering if that claim is driven by the publisher and widespread PR, or fundamentally correct or factually confirmed by the hands-on technical experts. Some opinions seemed skeptical, at least.

Platform A has a 40% fee and requires price elsewhere to be the same. Manufacturer X sells their own product on their own website, at +40% their price.

This is bad for buyers and competition. Platform A is already big and important enough that you can’t skip it, and can drive up and control pricing generally.

If the requirement were not there, if platform A does not offer enough plus service for the 40% margin, other platforms would keep the prices at a reasonable level. People could buy from the manufacturer at their original price.

A marketplace important enough that you can’t skip it being able to dictate market conditions is how it manifests itself further as the primary player and controlling instance.

With wireless microphones, maybe you can keep talking on the toilet. The company could even provide you with a laptop or tablet to take with you. D:

It only makes sense if

• you want to drive up adoption because
  • you’re confident in usefulness already
  • want to find out about usefulness and need the userbase and usage for it
• you have ulterior motives to push for AI adoption

I can imagine leadership - disconnected from real work and any practical AI use experience - being misinformed and misguided into believing marketing and hype-cycle about gains. It also doesn’t seem implausible that leadership wants to drive up adoption to quickly gain feedback and results about usefulness and gains/loss.

In good faith, it requires a certain mindset (no care about the waste or potential loss or risk) and distance from practice. Not implausible, though, in my eyes.

I remember reading about how LibreOffice was better at recovering broken Excel files than Excel itself. It was a long time ago, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that still were the case at all.

Machinery is required to have a big red STOP button that will immediately stop all moving parts. For emergencies. I assume these cars don’t have something like that? Maybe they should be required to; stop and unlock all doors.

/edit: I see it’s mentioned/suggested in some other comments as well.

“When someone offers you a seat on the rocketship, you do not ask which seat, you just get on.”

Lol, what a statement

Can’t even view the website without accepting the terms of service, titled “The Contract”. Privacy Policy section says provided data is considered public domain.

I don’t think that’s lawful. Certainly doesn’t feel like an inherently trustworthy platform.

Or maybe they didn’t. Check this cross-post comment thread.

I replied there, sourcing the original blog post.

What they said: “Maybe slightly better, not significantly better than existing tools, at least in the context of this single project”. What The Register makes of that: “greatest marketing stunt ever”. They did reference marketing in one sentence, but it was nowhere near as extreme.

How do you pronounce /?

It’s probably a typo and supposed to be Nanu. In German, nanu is an expression of surprise. This model’s slogan is “Nanu, wo kommt das denn her?” meaning “Huh, where did this come from?”.

I think if you look towards northern Europe instead of the US you’ll find better references and goals.

Totally fine. Containerization comes at a cost too. It’s a matter of system design, knowing your risks and complexities, and handling them accordingly.

With such a size, before containerization I’m wondering if these services are not independent enough to split them onto multiple servers.

Having everything together reduce system complexities in some ways, but not in other ways.
