RAM has not come from China, and China isn't exporting much of it yet. Unless Canada and the EU and Japan and everyone else is also handing out tariffs on Taiwan, Korea, etc like the US is, their point was the price of RAM doesn't have anything to do with tariffs.

The price of RAM is high globally because the AI companies have bought future-RAM with money the RAM producing companies gave them to build data centers that don't exist yet.

Yes.

Which is why it's bad that the only 3 companies with capacity currently are colluding.

If we can reduce the shockwave from sonic booms that could directly lead to more efficient plane engines. The main current impediment they have is the tips of the turbine blades can only get so close to the speed of sound before they explode from the forces they're experiencing.

Which could have knock-on effects for anything involving an airfoil moving through a fluid. Helicopters, boats, wind turbines, hydro-power, etc.

Better understanding and control of the physics / materials science at the sound barrier would be very good news.

They're publicly traded companies. Their investor meetings point out that HBM is not more profitable.

It is in theory more guaranteed profit because it's a smaller number of bigger contracts. But that's the gamble they're making.

I get a lot done with physical buttons and time / condition automations but sometimes it's nice to just do a one off action from the couch.

I've built some md5stack little speaker things and they work okay. Weird audio artifacts sometimes though.

I agree they're overblowing it for comedy, but holy hell do I hate 'magic links'.

Have them as an option sure. But for everyone with a password manager they're multiple extra steps that make the sign in process clunkier.

If you have 2FA they're actively useless security theater.

Even without the FOMO, some people just want a working device.

It's why leasing cars is attractive to some. They don't care about the specs, they want one that works "well" and looks nice and are willing to give up nebulous "ownership"of a device that they don't know or care how it works, that they can't repair, so they can stop thinking about their choice and just always have a one available.

The number of people that click through to disable that prompt might surprise you.

Hell at least half of AI influences are trying to just run models blind with full file permissions.

It may not be much but it is something.

They already run on crude instead of more refined fuel for very small percentage point gains in fuel cost.

5t less fuel over 2 weeks isn't nothing, and this is the first one. With visibly a shit-ton more room for more panels.

They're joking, but most of the US are "Right to Work" states. Meaning, on paper, you have the 'right' to quit your job without reprisal, but in practice the company can fire you without compensation. They owe for anything you've already done, but that's about it.

I was thinking their package was pretty generous but you're right it's very basic for other places.

Actual question. Can you revert git to a prior state without the remote repo?

They don't have the literacy / abstract thinking necessary to understand themes and like the 'vibes' of nerdy things being cool now.
