The guy that essentially added lasers to Japanese movies and somehow became a multi-billionaire is a fan of stealing other's work with minimal effort and reusing it without permission?
I'm shocked. Shocked I say.
Free trials are explicitly designed to be just long enough that the average user forgets they've signed up for it and it can auto charge after the trial ends. There's a ridiculous amount of dark pattern psychology research on this exact topic, paid for by companies like Amazon and Netflix.
Because unlike AI, there is actual money to be made in space. Elon has little to do with SpaceX besides the grand mission statement, and SpaceX engineers have said as much that employees mostly just humor him and then do the real engineering.
So yes, they will be going to the moon. Three years ago super heavy couldn't get out of the atmosphere, now they've had several successful launches and catches. 20 years ago reusable rockets were a pipe dream that NASA gave up on because 'it would be too difficult,' now there are more Falcon 9 launches than any other rocket in history.
The business is there, the science is there, the engineering is there; and that means lunar resource hunting is in sight. and with that we have stellar construction, and then we have everything we need to start, at the very least, microgravity clean room manufacturing, if not asteroid mining, and if not potential colonization.
NASA is doing the science to take out risks for these things, Capital will capitalize on these things after the public pays for the finer points.
Hence my solution. You can get 2-4 TB drives for around $30 on ebay. Get a flexible RAID controller that can handle multi-parity Raid 50, ideally a second hand raid card. We're at a total of $230 in at this point, assuming you have a windows 10 desktop lying around.
This is not a high data speed situation. If you have 6 or more drives you can dedicate two to parity and now you will never have data loss despite buying second hand drives. Effective storage capacity will be 16TB, which is more than enough to store 100 full series and a few thousand movies at 1080p or lower, and raid 50 gives a speed boost above what your controller will likely be able to handle, and way above what is needed for even a quite large multi-user media server.
Data storage is still incredibly cheap. You're just confusing your needs and your wants.
Bro win 10 computers are essentially free thanks to microsoft's windows 11 requirements and any of them can keep up with transcoding. Add onto that any second hand sata drives and a sata controller than handles multiple parity drives for raid 5 and you've got a solution that is under the yearly subscription fee of ad-free netflix and a fun weekend project.
So if you direct your attention to the instance name next to my username, you might see that your racist comments are just unpopular.
What's lazy is assuming chinese people have no ability for self determination and holding that racist belief to such an extreme level of nonsensicality that you believe literally the most high tech job in world history, one that is done 99% by machines because humans objectively cannot possibly do the work, one that is overseen by people with a minimum of one PhD, one where there is no non-degree holder in the building, is somehow done by slaves...
Because what, you saw a BBC or RFA or other NED article saying China uses prison labor as a form of rehabilitation one time so now no Chinese person can do something without slaves?
If you were to critically analyze any of your thoughts you'd be embarrassed to how ridiculous your thoughts have become. Replace Chinese for any other nationality and see if what you're about to say makes sense.
And China as a government, absolutely loves the idea of everyone’s computer usage going thru giant corporations because the Chinese government owns part of every Chinese company and doesn’t need a backdoor since they have a set of keys.
This is your brain on American Government propaganda.
Like, why would they make something that they don’t want and would sell for less profit margin overseas?
To steal market share and relevance from Taiwan, removing the incentive for the US to continue to support its continual war against China.
Why build for a bunch of broke consumers when there’s a blank check for anything related to data centers right now?
Because data centers are temporary. Consumers will outlast AI.
Why would you ever hope China would save us from this?
Because they're the only government attempting to do anything for the common person. Yes, they're China first, but their official stance is to encourage global revolution.
This is just racism btw, get help.
They very explicitly didn't run over anyone with tanks. No one but Adrian Zenz has ever claimed that and you will not find a source that is not Adrian Zenz suggesting that they did.
