The guy who wrote The Americans was supposedly asked specifically when he joined the CIA after college if he was in it just for getting ideas for a writing career. He lied. Obviously.

End result? Nice yarn. Total science fiction with regards to the omnidisciplinary genius spy stuff, but a good way to scratch an itch for 80s nostalgia.

Running it and being sufficiently responsive are two different things, I guess for background tasks sure. I would only use inference for entertainment and for that, it better be near-real time.

- AI is thinking, please wait...

What the AI conglomerates did is give it away as a taste for free while driving a huge hardware shortage fueled price apocalypse that even once they jack up their prices towards sustainability no one will be able to afford switching to run on local hardware that now costs a small fortune, if you can even find it in stock anywhere.

It is devious and evil, but shows a lot of forward thinking.

Anyone that comes out with a user expandable unified memory architecture using mostly common components could be a real winner in the next five years. No, Apple is not user expandable.

Nothing in life is free. What is your soul worth?

I assumed OP was adding that ram to a system with unified ram, but I don't think Apple hardware allows user expansion anymore. What else is there?

This is not about intelligence, it is about laziness and the willingness to remain lazy even when you know something is wrong.

More people are willing to turn their brain off than you think, especially when they think no one will notice or care (i.e.), no consequences (yet).

- 'mailing it in' since birth

Considering all the expensive data center build-outs, acess is still cheap right now. I hope soon all AI services bill at the actual cost of 'running the AI.'

Right now AI is in the equivalent of a drug dealer's 'hook em for cheap, then run up the cost once they are addicted.' Or, the bubble bursts and any remaining survivors will have survived by billing at a rate to sustain the business, instead of debt on debt on debt while claiming a 'free tier.'

and has a lot of empty space...very lightweight.

And yours is a monarchy, with the closest thing to a constitution only being a charter that only guarantees any rights at all to barons and nobles, whose descendants to this day still hold their titles and rights from ages past. The only thing it promises, but does not guarantee to you, is a jury trial. You guys sentenced Markus Meecham to jail and a fine en banc, putting a felony conviction over his head making him unemployable, over a youtube comedy that didn't involve any kind of violence or threats. The only way he makes a living at all is because he's paid by an American company to entertain his viewers.

And for voting...well...you don't even get to vote for your German head of state, who is not just for life, but by birthright to each successive generation he begets. Your prime minister legally only acts in an advisory role, who your king has the power to veto.

Anyway, how is ol' Boris doing?

I know a lot more about this subject than you do, Pootin.

Who's anus did you felch this turdbit from?

Unlike you, I'm a strong believer in giving credit where credit is due, regardless of what else I think about whoever it goes to.

Without Elon there's no SpaceX. Full stop. He bet everything on it twice. And unlike you, it hasn't received *any* federal government subsidies either. The ESA, NASA, Rocketlab, Blue Origin, and many others were essentially betting against the idea of reusability, the ESA in particular making fun of the idea in a press statement, and Elon in particular who was the only one in the industry pushing hard for it, not only to the engineers, but investors. The rest is history.

Shit in one hand, wish in the other, and see which one fills up with what you consider to be edible faster.

Proprietary software is written under unrealistic deadlines set by suits who want to cut costs in order to fatten their profit margins. It is natural that the resultant quality will be lower than that of open source solutions, most of which are written by industry veterans who have the time and the motivation to build them well.

Maybe NASA should think this through.

I'm sure that where you're from, that's exactly what would happen. I'd bet on it, even.

Effectively the argument is that by doing a split, you're going to reduce the market cap, which is total nonsense. In fact, usually the exact opposite happens after a split.

There's no rhyme or reason to this argument whatsoever. You guys are just fucking dumb.

The number of shares outstanding has zero relevance to that. What you're arguing falls entirely on trade volume. How are you supposed to increase trade volume if, as retardedsilvergun says, you're trying to keep the total number of shares outstanding to a minimum? That does exactly the opposite.
