Those memory sources aren't going to instantly start pumping out consumer ram again. The chips used for AI are different, and they've moved most of their manufacturing capacity to that.

Hopefully the chip fabs got deposits for their orders, because when the bubble pops they might go under and then consumers are really screwed.

I feel like you're failing to grasp the core concept here.

Data is often required to be stored for audit purposes. Audits are also part of why you don't usually delete records from a database.

And you're assuming they were profiting off that data. Not every company that stores it sells it.

I'm not dodging your initial point. Companies compensate you for the data and advertising with free access to the website. The money they earn this way is used to pay for the service they're providing.

That's why them paying you a subscription for the data isn't a thing. You've already agreed to the trade.

I'm working on a project using esp32s to build my own Hal9000 system. Every room will have a small touch screen where you can control stuff in the room, but the screen saver will be HAL

You don't really need a powerful LLM for personal assistant tasks.

12% over 10 years isn't exponential growth.

I honestly have no idea what that look is supposed to be conveying, or why.

My wife and I just have separate bathrooms. We're both nesters, so sharing wasn't working.

The initial cost might be higher, but once you have the gear it's significantly cheaper. I just paid $80 for a conventional change on my wife's car, which is way more than 4qts of synthetic and a filter.

Get a fumoto valve and you don't even need the wrench.

There's an XKCD for that.

But yeah, in IT I've heard so much shitting on EUs for not having "common sense".

  1. No one is born knowing this stuff.
  2. Most people have no need to know this stuff.
  3. If everyone knew this stuff you wouldn't have a job.

When I first started in desktop support, pretty much every one would apologize to me for asking for help.

I got the best feedback from the EUs, largely because I made it a point that it's cool to not know how to fix your issue and I'm here for the sole purpose of helping you.
