Might we perhaps see some meaningful investment into long-term alternatives to DRAM as a result of this price spike? Will Intel bring back their Optane persistent memory? What about HP's memristors/ReRAM? Magnetic core memory/MRAM?

This is what I'm hopeful for, but haven't researched enough into whether there are hardware startups in this space as I believe the majors will chase the hype cycle. Optane being canned always felt like a poor, shortsighted decision to me.

An army of tweakers. I don't think that this aspect of the War and the Holocaust are discussed enough. Certainly no excuse, but it is very interesting.

Highly recommend the book "Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich" by Norman Ohler, a podcast promo led me to get the book from the library and I really liked it!

I'm guessing they are giving the core away for free to collect training data.

I think they're giving it away to take mindshare away from Adobe among younger creators. The rise of Capcut and similar mobile first software eventually leads to Adobe, Final Cut for video, and Davinci Resolve. This provides a ladder from Canva to Affinity under one banner at low to no cost.

Controlling culture, yes but wild pivot to mention that criminal alongside Karpathy.

True, i'm gonna start limiting electron apps CPU and IO percentage to not halt everything

nsriv · 3 months ago

I think that's probably a recipe to hit the limits more often and end up being more frustrating, depending on your hardware.

There is no evidence whatsoever that was false flag attack. I didn't expect such blatant conspiracy theories on HN.
