Please feel free to come and ping this thread in 2028 to tell me Im wrong.
I'm honoured you think I'm petty enough to dig up a 2 year old post just to say "i told you so" to some random user on the Internet.
But unfortunately I'm only mortal. I'll leave that kind of pursuit to the bots.
Look, I'm not entierly sure what point you're trying to make. But I can assure you, you're not going to get there by putting words in my mouth, nor by trying to tell me what my own sister was thinking or hoping for when we were kids. Because you know absolutely nothing about us. So just stop.
I thought I'd follow through with the analogy since you engadged in it. But now you're clearly reaching too far.
Nothing I'm saying here is a justification or an excuse. It's an explanation of how it works.
People, and governments often have a very different set of worries.
As an individual, you might not care if it's the US or China that has access to your information. For the vast majority of people, it's not going to affect them personally.
But if you are American. The US government will care if China has access. And if you are chineese, then China will care if the US has access.
And if you're a russian politician, well, then you're probably more concerned about what Russia knows than US or China. Seeing as neither of those two will help you "fall out" of a window.
She prefers to be an annoying asshole. You're just not allowed to call her that.
I was angry with my sister when she "spied" on me. I took her to "court" for a "trial" and the "judge" gave her time out and a 4 hour supervised probation period.
But it would be a whole different ballgame of actions and consequences if some random person were to do it Neither is ok. But one of them is more severe than the other.
Nope. China is too big of a country to produce everything they need themselves.
Contrary to popular belief, what china imports the most is actually electronic components. Followed by fossil fuels.
Those two categories alone account for ~40% of all Chineese imports as of 2024.
If their competitors can’t keep up
Their competitors have already sold out their entire 2027 production.
The money they make selling RAM to private consumers is not even 1 promille of their revenue.
Yes, nations are generally more lenient when it comes to domestic spying compared to foreign spying.
Kind of like how I'm allowed to say my sister is an annoying asshole but if anyone else talks shit about her, we're gonna have a problem.
The chips that goes into the iphones are not made in China.
iPhones are not made in china as much as they are assembled in China. The crucial components comes from the same place as everyone elses. Taiwan.
They do so because while the manufacturing is taking place in Taiwan, the blueprints are not.
It's why we call iPhone american phones. Despite them being manufactured in China
Can we just appreciate how you first told him he's wrong for suggesting memory will be cheap again in 2028.
Only to immediately try to frame it as "memory won't be cheap until 2028 so that proves my point!"
Which is exactly what he said to begin with. Top notch. 👌
I got some 16gb of DDR4 i found in a closet. You guys can start bidding.
I looked it up quickly to get some context. Google (alphabet). Which is a huge consumer of energy. Has deals directly with the electricity producers. It's reported they pay ~4-12 cents per kWh in the US, depending on where the energy comes from.
And they can get those prices because they are an enourmous customer that can sign multi-year deals that benefits the producers ability to expand production.
So... i would love to know how this company managed to get rates around 1-2 cents per kWh
Interesting. I have heard that hardware manufacturers create specific chip architecture to suit AI technology.
Though I had not considered that the hardware might shift so much as to be rendered "useless" for the average consumer
