If they understand that there’s no moat for their AI R&D business, perhaps they’re looking to a possible future where they could lower their cost of R&D by picking up open models and running them for inference. Especially if the current spending collapses.
Vancouver is so awesome in this regard. We live in the west end of TO and it’s alright but Vancouver is something else. I feel like Montreal is better as well. We’ve gone city-vacationing to both a few times now.
Qwen 3.8 27B dropping soon for all the lucky bastards with >=24GB VRAM.
TBD how much of a break it would really be.
I hate them calling it prediction markets. We have words for this acivity and related pathologies too.
I really loved playing this game.
Any Matter/Thread IR blaster should work with HA. Assuming you already have a Thread radio on your HA.
I meant the CCP isn’t, not CXMT.
Wrong. Plenty of German large corpos helped Hitler come to power and made good money under him, and are prime brands these days. E.g. Agfa, BASF, Bayer and Sanofi. Our capitalists definitively do not want democracy. Plenty of them have said as much and their interests are aligned with autocracy. Democracy means taxes and regulations and they def don’t want either of those.
That’s what I’m thinking too. They’re gonna go as far and as wide as they can go.
Kamala Harris contributed plenty towards destroying democracy by refusing to represent a significant part of the American piblic that would typically vote D.
A smart decision which the Americans are probably not gonna make would be to nationalize Micron once they become unviable for-profit business, in order to keep the competency and ability to make RAM, which is an essential economic input these days. Instead I think they’ll just let the CXMT gang buy them at that point, just like they’ve let that happen to so many important firms. That’s unless democratic socialism has taken enough control of the US political power.
Do you think they’ll stop expanding after filling the consumer memory market though?
This shit is so over. This gang ain’t gonna collude on price with Micron. They’re in for eating Micron. First its market share, then its IP by buying it for pennies on the dollar.
Especially pay attention to the CCP’s directive to share IP among RAM manufacturers. They appear to be looking at this problem as a supply shortage of an essential component for the rest of the economy, which it is. But that also means they aren’t playing for profit.
That 73% number I think shows the demsoc policies are popular. Which is the real number to watch. The self-identification with a word subject to a century of negative propaganda is more an indication of how strong the propaganda is these days.
Right? Windows gives MS enormous market power beyond the desktop license revenue. At the same time there’s obvious cost savings to be had by outsourcing the OS. What is the capitalist to do facing this conradiction… 🤭
Apart from the socializing time, the time to help the helper doesn’t accumulate as time spent on your end because the helper will help again speeding up another task of yours. In the long run the time saved from receiving help and the time spent from helping would balance out. The socializing time is lost and accumulates. With that said, there are tasks that are impossible or take significantly more than double when done alone compared to when done with a helper. That could very well make up for the lost socializing time. Now add specialization where you help in tasks that you’re good at and the helper does the same for you and those tasks end up done way faster than without help. And that’s why we invented division of labour, which allowed us to turn nature into useful stuff much faster than before. 😄
I don’t ask for help enough. Replaced a toilet yesterday and my back is complaining today.
From Ontario, crossing fingers hard for a big margin!
