Every RAM stick I bought in the past 15 years is worth more per GB now than when I bought it... If you bought RAM in 2008 the same is true, I just didn't buy RAM at that point.

Yeah you really should be asking how the fuck you send someone to prison with zero fucking evidence of them committing a crime.

Surely bare minimum is that several people in the legal system need to be losing their jobs over it. If not facing criminal negligence charges of their own.

Looked up some suggested uses as first projects and they sound so boring and useless. Smart home stuff, no thanks. Manage personal finances and budgets, don't need tools for that let alone AI powered ones. Email, I don't want to use email in the first place.

Using AI to complete bullshit work tasks that shouldn't exist in the first place. Yep, I know that feeling very well.

Had loads in my last job. I could spend a few hours and struggle to fill in a few sentences for this bullshit form HR keep sending us, or I could ask ChatGPT to write the most obviously generic corpospeak crap that for some reason people like and are even impressed when I say that I used AI for it.

What do they use them for? I have played with it a little out of curiosity, even got an LLM running on my phone until it got stuck in an endless loop spewing nonsense. Not touched agents yet.

I haven't really found much use for LLMs yet beyond rewording or summarising text and even that is rarely worth the effort of loading it up.

IIRC some days don't have a school shooting. Not sure about weeks or months though.

If its public domain couldn't anyone else with a copy make it freely available

Go 25mph then. At some point it just seems like looking for excuses. Tbh I hear the same sorts of excuses here from people trying to justify why they "have to" drive 800m to the corner shop.

Aren't US ebike regulations super generous, like to the point its pretty much just an electric equivalent to a 50cc bike with pedals on it.

Ours are so restricted I don't even see the point of a legal one outside of disabled or elderly users. Once I am up to speed I usually cycle at just under 30kmh which is above the speed limit for pedal assist ebikes, IIRC most of Europe has that sort of limit. If there are a lot of stop/starts then maybe it could be more useful, but I tend to avoid roads like that in the first place.

I could say the same thing about America.

Yes, I am talking about Europe. Why so aggressive about assuming I inherited anything? I haven't.

Stop living in massive cities then if they are so expensive. Always lived in towns rather then cities, can get anywhere by bike in not much time at all.

Oh no wages are a little lower. So is rent and tax. Plus much better access to green spaces generally - though I now live on the coast so green spaces are mostly replaced by blue ones. Decent green spaces are like 20 minutes away by bike rather than 5 now.
