My email service provider just marks everything as spam. So they’re not alone, you say?
Irritating how much spam comes from Gmail/microsoft.

I made three financial decisions in 2019 that I regret. Two were related to major purchases that have held 2x value post Covid. The third is selling a car that was borderline classic I just wanted space back. It was a rust bucket I keep saying but now they’re going for 10x what I sold for.
Well… if it’s in a cloud provider with 3 copies locally and 3 more geo-redundant why would we need that?
You’re right, but it is an easy fallacy to fall into.
If someone made "Spotify for movies", where I could watch literally all the shows on a single subscription, without ads, with good UI and interoperability between platforms I would pay for it.
So Netflix, a few years ago. I know, they didn’t license everything, but they did have a good catalogue, good price, and it just worked. Now they’ve got tiers and ads and bullshit.
None of the chips built for datacentres are useful for gaming. None of the RAM in these chips is useful for normal computing - even servers - much less home gaming.
AI compute believes it’s still in a “race” so they won’t want to be using previous gen chips unless forced to in some way.
This isn’t the “dark fibre” of the AI bubble. It’s just a future pile of trash.
To build chips that are used as collateral for datacentres that have yet to be built, so the chips can’t be used, and they’ll just age out of usefulness.
pay for all the required transmission infrastructure that the project will use exclusively.
Emphasis mine. If the AI buildout can claim that the line will serve as a secondary entry point for a neighbourhood they’re not going to pay.
I skipped the 17 which was supposed to be my partner’s upgrade. I am anticipating regretting that decision.
It’s crazy and the chips that are ostensibly taking up all the dram are sitting on shelves waiting for data centres to be built so that they can be racked.
The thing that interests me is that a local business person would see this law and say “fine, no porn”. Remember, when Yahoo bought tumblr, they sank it by banning porn!
So to me this suggests they can’t figure out how to make their LLM reliably not produce pornography.
Apple’s AI strategy is leaving them behind
Apple’s stock drops on failure to meet AI promises
Etc.
Now whose stock is dropping?
“Copilot, I get an error when I run this code”
“An easy fix for this would be to remove the WMIC component from Windows”
