I have never seen that happen. I have only seen companies get bailed out. It’s been decades since a giant insolvent company was split apart and sold for pennies on the dollar. They just enough money to buy financially solvent competition
They did a better job by offering an unsustainable variety of programming from all the studios in one place at the same time. All of the competitors at the time only offered financially viable services.
I believe in ai now because I looked at the Netflix balance sheet and thought. “There is NO WAY they could become profitable they are spending wayyy to much money and have way to much debt. It’s financially impossible to get out of this hole”
I understand how it worked and how it could not have. There are a lot of ways this could fail on AI but there are some real ways forward. AI has a similar application reach as the internet. It’s world changing.
I see why meta and google are going in hard. They lived though the rise and fall of blockbuster. They saw Sony release 3 different steaming services before after and during Netflix. This is the disruption for the current generation of tech and their revenue model.
Someone is going to ‘Win’ AI and a lot of others will loose.
Ram if a big driver of what models you can run with vram at a premium. Equipping 2 separate boxes with enough ram to load advanced models may be more expensive than just equipping one faster machine.
On the larger models even with ssd swap I can’t even get them to fully load on my 16gb of ram.
It seems to be less of an operating system and more a purpose designed utility that replaces the operating system.
It’s a great idea.

What is the form factor? See if you can just get a new case for it. You can always under clock a system to make it use less power, workstation cases are quieter than servers.
Noise is almost always the fans. Servers are supposed to take a little space as possible and depend on super high airflow from a cold room.
With the cost of components you are going to have a hard time selling a system to buy a different one. 64gb of ram is pretty sweet for a home server. You can do all sorts of silly stuff and still have a responsive system.
Same way Kmart bought sears. It’s fairly common for smaller companies to buy larger ones at this point.
Remember the discovery ‘channel ‘ bought Warner brother whole ass media conglomerate and at the end of the deal the people who made that happen made 10’s of billions.
It’s all about system design. Hydraulic breaks are a known quantity with a long development time .
Modern cars already physically separate drivers from the transmission and steering. Steering is drive by wire and transmissions are computer controlled , I can suggest a gear with a button or paddle.
Breaks are the next function to be moved from hydraulic to electric systems.
If it is implemented as well as steer by wire it should be safe as the current technology.
‘Classic’ cars can be heavy enough to boil brake fluid in heavy breaking situations. Once the fluid boils you lose all breaking power at once on all 4 wheels.
Can also boil break fluid if a wheel bearing fails while driving( repair shop packed it too tight)
Also the magic stop juice comes out if you panic stomp on the breaks while headed down an icy hill.
You could say the exact same for steering by wire.
Breaking by wire along with a gyro can help keep a car stable when breaking in slippery conditions in addition to ABS.
Does not mean it will be done, but it becomes possible.
Luckily I discovered that using the cable brake on the cars I drove made them uncontrollable before I got into an emergency. I ruled that out once I did a full 360 at 5 mph on a regular road,
I learned to emergency stop on the transmission. Slow down on the gears and eventually fuck it up dropping it into park
I have had hydraulic brakes fail more than while driving. They can fail even when the lines are fully intact.
It’s crazy that they(Hasbro )are requiring the employees work from in the office.
I can’t wait till they have a launch problem and the employees make them wait until they can be on prem to fix issues they previously addressed remotely.
If you need to be in from 8am-6pm to work, why wouldn’t you need to be onsite at 8pm to work.
They are making slop every other MONTH! shareholders are suing because there is a fear the brand of being damaged from the flow of slop.
The game is broken due to the pure volume of new cards interacting in ways that over stretched employees can’t see before release.
I typically grind about 70k in game coins a month and just skipped a whole set. It gotta be perpetually crunch time on the other side of the screen.
Bipedal robots make sense only because the infrastructure around was made for humans. Wheeled and tracked robots can have trouble though spaces designed for humans. Designing with wheelchair access is mind had to happen on purpose. A small set of stairs or uneven terrain can create a big challenge.
Technology makes possibilities and not outcomes. The idea of a bipedal mechanical assistant that can carry , move and lift items for the elderly , on call 24/7 could be another possibility.
It’s likely things would go as you say. Still there is a possibility that some other applications could come out of this kind of bipedal platform as well.
Delivering mail is a complex task for a machine. This is a technology forum so at some point we should be excited that there are possibilities in the future.
The distance these devices could go gives many more possibilities than a similar platform that can move shorter distances.
My first thought for a platform that could move through human spaces at 13 miles an hour was a military robot for urban combat similar to a terminator. So mail delivery robot is the optimistic version of the future.
Pretty impressive. The ability to operate 13 miles continuously makes un-teatherd humanoid robots viable for a lot of tasks. Once the AI is developed they could deliver mail or stock items in a department store.
It’ll be interesting to see how long it will be from this race before we see bi-pedal robots completing a full marathon.
