AI companies have only pre-bought future years’ supplies for memory so long as they can make their payments.

OpenAI is losing $1MM USD about every 30 minutes, iirc. How can they afford their $1.4T USD expansion plans to 2030 when they’re bleeding that kind of cashflow?

A year ago, Altman was saying ChatGPT will never have ads, but they’ve already started adding them.

They have no “moat”—just about anyone can run a LLM with open models right now, and big players (Meta, Google, and others) are directly competing already.

All of these companies are facing massive potential legal judgements, too.

There’s no realistic path to profitability for OpenAI. OpenAI’s publications call for them, on their own, accounting for 2% of US GDP by 2030. Insanity.

So, here’s the point for PC gamers: the AI crash is coming, and hardware prices are going to come crashing down once datacentres are no longer able to afford to pay for the chips they ordered.

(Of course, server parts can’t be swapped to consumer hardware, but they’ll retool to meet demand ASAP since there will be strong pricing incentives to pivot back to consumer hardware quicker than the competition.)

Educational research is a bit of an anomaly, in that it has the lowest replication study rate of any “real” scientific discipline. There are lots of reasons for that, but it means that you can cherry pick individual studies to support just about any pedagogical (teaching) practice.

That said, the evidence is pretty clear that there is higher retention for most learners when writing by hand. Even writing with a stylus on the screen seems to lead to lower retention. There’s something about the multisensory input learners get from pencil and paper that seems to make a difference.

That said, that doesn’t mean there’s no places for Ed tech. In particular, students learn how to write better when they can edit their text, which happens a lot faster with a word processor. Digital science labs allow for quick exploration of a topic in minutes instead of needing a full class period for setup and clean up.

But it should only be used when appropriate, imho as a K-12 educator and parent.

idk,I really liked this video. This genre is right up my alley, and now I have some games to look for in future game bundles.

Logseq Database version is close to beta release. I’m looking forward to that since Logseq can get slow for power users (queries) with large graphs.

Circle of the Moon is the Castlevania game I’ve played the most. Such a great game. The alt modes that unlock after beating the game on normal mode are all great fun, too.

I had a lot more time to play games back then, so idk if it actually is exceptional or if it was just the right game at the right time for me. Since you’re freshly into it, what do you think? Rise tinted glasses or is it actually great?

That edit had confused so many users over the years. They think they are signing away rights to their copyrighted work by agreeing to the platform’s EULA, but the terms granting them license to freely store and distribute your work? That’s literally what you want their service to do because you’re posting it with the intention of the platform showing it to others!

Granted, companies are using user data for other purposes too, so that’s a problem, but I’ve seen so so many posts over the last couple decades of people complaining about EULAs that describe core site functions…

This is giving me illegal number vibes. Like, if an arbitrary calculation returns an illegal number that you store, are you holding illegal information?

(The parallel to this case is that if a statistical word prediction machine generates copyrighted text, does that make distribution of that text copyright violation?)

I don’t know the answer to either question, btw, but I thought it was interesting.

Seriously. If he was going to admit fault, they’d have settled already.

Does running auctions while doing other things count? Because, if so, I definitely hit 16+ hours in WoW some days. Semi-automated glyph relisting, undercutting by 1c.

Then again, I hit the gold cap in Wrath, before I quit. So it was totally time well spent.

Thanks for taking the time to write that up! That looks like it might work really well for me.

I’m in a similar boat. I’ve searched the available FOSS launchers, and none seem to allow overloading app icons/folders with swipe actions. App folders and swipe actions are the only launcher features I really care about. (Well, a functional app drawer/list of some kind, too.)

I want 1 home screen with all my frequently used apps accessible in a single action, less frequently used apps sorted into logical (custom) folders, and rarely used apps visible in a drawer/list.

idgaf about widgets or search bars; I don’t want to type anything in my home screen, and I only use my home screen to open other apps, so widgets are pretty useless to me.

Do people just, like, keep their home screen open? Why?

I mean, I don’t have any direct sources on hand to refute that, but that logic doesn’t pass the sniff test, at least to me.

The Deck is an incredibly successful product that constantly sits near the top of the “all sales” chart, is incredibly important for Valve to keep computing open (and not lose their entire business model to Windows’ enshittification), and has virtually 0 overlap with any of the products coming out.

If anything, I’d expect them to cancel the GabeCube before the Deck, at least until the Deck has a successor.

???

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

The Supreme Court decision was banning their use of the trademarked phrase. As far as I can tell, that’s it. If you can find something in there that contradicts that, I’m all ears. But nothing in the linked article, aside from the terrible headline, says anything about a court ruling on the term “oat milk”.

Unless I missed something, this has no far-reaching consequences and is mostly a nothing burger.

The AI-over-investment-sparked memory shortage is what’s causing the problem, not Republican tariffs.

The GabeCube/Frame/Controller 2 shouldn’t have anything to do with the Deck, though. They’re entirely different products, so they shouldn’t impact availability of the Deck.

And that wasn’t true with the past update to the Deck, either; the 64GB and 512GB LCD models were available for so long that they went on clearance pricing multiple times before they sold out.

The title of the article is misleading. The ruling was on the use of “Post Milk Generation” as a trade mark for use in their advertising and on their products. It has nothing to do with using “milk” to describe their drinks.

Sadly, every comment in this thread seems to be responding to the title at face value, not the actual court case.

I think it’s a bit silly to prevent the trademark of that slogan, but I’m guessing that’s because I’m missing something in the nuance of what a trade mark is, legally, in the UK?

Speculating here with an example of a trademark I know a little bit about: “Grill & Chill” was trademarked by DQ in several jurisdictions. (Aside: and they used that trademark to threaten the “Chill & Grill” restaurant to change its name, despite that use clearly predating DQ’s use of the name by decades, but I digress…) I suppose that’s allowed because “grilling” is directly related to the “trade” of DQ’s services, but something ephemeral like “being a post milk person” is only indirectly related to their “trade” of making non-dairy beverages?

I suppose that makes sense. But still silly, imho.

Heads up that they’ve run out of Steam keys for a lot of these, and who knows if they’ll get more in stock.

Regardless, it’s cheap and a good cause, and it’s mostly PnP & digital tabletop RPGs/games, so most of the “good stuff” in this bundle wouldn’t have a Steam key anyway.

Easy buy, if you don’t need to worry about 10 USD in your budget.

Not OP, but that search brings up a bunch of different products on AliExpress: black paste, white paste, sprays, creams, liquids… Do you know if it matters?

Thanks for the tip, regardless. They’re only a few bucks each, so 8 could try a few, but if you have one you know works for PLA and/or PETG, I’d appreciate knowing what worked for you!

Edit: I just thought to look at your gallery again and saw the headlight restoration bottle in the background in one of the pics, so never mind!

The stock of dwellings per capita has risen considerably over that time, from about 290 per thousand people in 1971 to 403 in 2023. Even housing stock relative to the adult population alone (which has remained at a flatter and higher level due to the declining share of children in Canada’s population) has grown, from 477 dwellings per thousand adults in 1971 to 510 in 2023.

Some analysts prefer to take households as the key demographic unit, but this approach also reveals no clear evidence for the supply-shortage argument. Census data show that there have consistently been more dwellings than households since 1971. In the intense period of housing inflation since 2001, that ratio has actually risen slightly, from 1,011 dwellings per thousand households to 1,017 in 2021.

They address all three metrics explicitly.

Did you read the article? Household size is accounted for.

And yes, I have a minor in Economics with a Math major. FWIW.
