I’m honestly surprised anyone likes self checkout. It’s such a pain in the ass. Almost always have some sort of error that I need to wait to be rescued from.
Maybe it’s different where you are from, but where I am from human cashiers are way more efficient.
I think for small to medium sized businesses, those who are using cloud providers already, they will continue to purchase ai compute just like they do any other cloud service. For larger enterprises that have the manpower to maintain physical infra, it will be cheaper to self host inference.
For regular users, I suspect most people will use a provider, but are not nearly as willing to pay for it (at least not that much more than a typical streaming service). Power users (especially younger ones with more time in their hands to spare) will use local inference.
How much of Amazons $2T in earnings is AWS earnings? If that already includes AWS spend, then $6T isn’t gonna happen any time soon.
I’m partial to windows 7, but it’s been a very long time since I have considered myself remotely close to a power user. Windows 10 is meh. Windows 11 is a dumpsterfire of epic proportions.
MS couldn’t even corner the AI world being a primary investor in openAI and having first dibs. Like they could not execute. They have too much Baggage now. VERY IBM. They will coast with their business contracts and that’s about all they can do, ride intertia.
It’s a symptom of billionaires. The CTO needs to make the CEO happy, and the CEO needs to make a whole board happy. The board needs to make the investors happy.Who are the investors? Greedy billionaires. Sometimes the board too.
I have a 2011 Honda Civic, and it has just enough tech to allow Bluetooth calling. Everything else is old fashioned. I’ll have the engine completely rebuilt before I buy one of these bullshit new cars.
It must have a sim card somewhere right? How else is it phoning home?
Could be a neat way to wash away student loans. Use the 50K to pay off student debt, Fail on purpose, declare bankruptcy to dismiss the signing bonus debt.
That’s fucking genius. No way they are thinking that deep.
Search has been bad for a long time. We are back to the alta Vista days. Aggressive SEO ruined the internet.
I take two things from this:
It’s so you can buy more phones
You know what’s funny? It didn’t fully click to me just how methodical and devious Israel is until I realized that there were cookbooks in the 30s to teach European women moving to Palestine how to cook Palestinian food. How “Israeali” food is the only valid example of cultural appropriation I have ever heard. Literally erasing a people down to their fucking cuisine.
I mean what kind of people do that? How sick do you have to be? Yeah, genocide I know of course. The settlements of course. But to coopt food? I mean that is fucking sick in the head to a new level. I can’t explain it. I know it sounds ridiculous compared to lives being lost and land stolen. But there is something just so calculated in that simple act of taking something mundane even and calling it your own.
It’s CrossFit. It’s just got a new name
In a case like that, just plan to go for 30 minutes. Just making the effort to show up goes a long way. You’ll find that often you end up staying longer and it’s fine, because the hard part all along was passing through the door.
Sometimes, if you want to nurture friendships, you need to let your battery go negative sometimes.
You say jif don’t you.
Dorms I can live with. The minimum wage thing might encourage an increase in it, but more likely it just encourages them to get money from their donors. More so than they already do. Only the rich would be able to do the job. It would be untenable for the AOCs and Mamdanis of the world to serve in public office.
It’s significantly less than what it is in most places.
I agree with the spirit of this, but the one issue is that someone with a 40 room mansion pays 1%. I say make it simple and make second homes cost double. Third quadruple, etc.
Carve out some exceptions for narrow cases, like a congressperson who needs to maintain a separate home in DC.
This is the way. Cat is out of the bag now so need to figure out responsible usage.
Fortunately we have a method for that for a long time now: PRs. If you approve it, you are responsible for that approval.
This is already a thing
I’m learning a lot in this thread about European dystopia. I guess if y’all like it to each their own. Over here in the US, we’ve had enough.
