The article says later that Suno "is currently in the middle of a blockbuster lawsuit with the Big Three major labels over allegations that their profits will dwindle to zero in the short term leading to the conclusion that new laws must be obtained to secure their revenue stream.

Comment Re:Thank Tariffs Trump! (Score 2) 69

I too bought memory in April to avoid tariffs. I had to run a stupid python program to generate a dataset that required 96GB of RAM for a delayed project so I figured I might as well bite the bullet. DDR4 was still a good value at that point (it's a problem that can run overnight, performance wasn't too important).

But how are the tariffs limiting the manufacturing supply capacity of RAM factories in East Asia?

Do you have a mechanism to propose?

Do you think they're making enough to meet demand but then blaming tariffs to justify jacking up prices? All of them? It would be an interesting conspiracy but is there any evidence to support that theory?

What mechanism are you thinking of where tariffs could limit supply of VRAM from East Asia?

Simple price increases, sure, definitely, but this is described by manufacturers as a supply & demand problem.

Do you have a different angle we should consider?

So the 'hyperloop' people have a cool website; while the 'train' people are just plain getting on with building stuff; whether conventional or the now-quarter-century-ish old maglev option.

Looks like someone signed up for another round of 'faff with apps vs. offshoring our entire high tech supply chain' and hoped it would work better this time.

And some dumbass 'managing director' is telling us that a gigantic safety-critical vacuum system is 'not effected by strikes'; more or less because he has no idea what the maintenance and operations would involve? Truly a joke telling itself.

Meta-comment: It's most considerate to put a link to a non-paywalled source - thanks :-)

Why not save time and fruitless clicks by simply omitting the paywalled source?

What proportion of people are expected to be able to read an arbitrary source of private news?

And even if I *could* tell the difference easily (I am maybe a bit too sure of my ability to detect the bland vapidness of GenAI-generated content...

You've got to give super-props to the way the music industry has been pumping-out bland vapidness for over twenty years. It's almost as if they had foreknowledge of the arrival of AI and that this strategy would enable them to seamlessly segue to AI-generated content.
Super *jumps in air* props!
