Ah yes, killing about 100 civilians (a disgusting attack, that should never have happened), deserves a genocide of literal millions, thatâ(TM)s a proportionate and reasonable response.

The crazy thing is that the price increases have already made Appleâ(TM)s infamously ludicrous upgrade pricing seem reasonable. Apple want £400 for 32GB. A couple of months ago, that was 4 times over the going rate. Now itâ(TM)s pretty much normal. The cheepest DDR5 6000 on newegg is £330, and higher bandwidth stuff costs of the order of £5-600. (And thatâ(TM)s ignoring that Appleâ(TM)s on chip RAM is anywhere between 50% faster and 300% faster than high end DDR5 depending on the chip).

Because youâ(TM)re a nerd probably. That said, the article seems to motivate things rather poorly.

I donâ(TM)t get how anyone would ever expect this to be cheep though. The reason RAM is expensive is because the production capacity for chips is being used to produce GPU RAM for AI data centres, not because thereâ(TM)s some disconnect between chip prices and DIMM prices. Buying the chips is going to be just as expensive, because the chips, and production capacity are needed elsewhere. Whatâ(TM)s most likely to happen here is that you get a bunch of chips that failed QA and then leaked out to the (dark) grey market Chinese sellers.

Recent studies suggest that it does not have anywhere near as much acid in its atmosphere as we thought, especially in the upper atmosphere where heâ(TM)s talking about.

For the quick version of why you donâ(TM)t want WiFi security cameras - itâ(TM)s a very common approach already for burglars to use to fire up a WiFi jammer as they go in. You end up with your security cameras dropping out exactly when you need them.

Yes, but then until it crashed because of completely not cosmic ray related issues, ingenuity used off the shelf computers, and on the ISS you will find bog standard modern computers for the astronauts to process data on.

Yup, I'm sure they haven't thought about this issue at all when considering putting computers in space.

With your solution, all a thief must do is unplug the receiver, or wrap it in tin foil, and theyâ(TM)re home free.

No, it's never meant that.

In the UK, million has always meant 10^6. Milliard has always meant 10^9, but has fallen out of favor. Billion used to mean 10^12, but now usually means 10^9. Billiard has always meant 10^15, Trillion used to mean 10^18, and now usually means 10^12.

I mean, as long as they continue to bill uncle sam less than their competitors, i'm fine with this.

Well, to be fair, itâ(TM)s a firmware change, so itâ(TM)s something that can mostly be done in parallel. Set 20 planes updating the firmware and when you get to the end of the row start running the verification process. No need to spend 5 hours on each plane individually.

Radiation on Mars really isn't an issue. Radiation levels on Mars are on average 0.64mSv per day. Radiation levels in Ramsar, Iran are 0.71mSv per day (that's entirely natural, not some crazy weapons program the Iranians are running). Want to know how many extra cancers there are in Ramsar due to the elevated natural radiation levels? None. Absolutely none at all. In fact, Ramsar has a lower cancer rate than both other cities in Iran, and the world in general. This matches a pattern where it seems that people exposed to low-moderate radiation levels actually appear to have lower risks for cancer than people not exposed to any elevated radiation at all.

There certainly will be areas of Mars with high radiation levels due to geology, altitude, etc, and we'll want to avoid those areas, or use shielding, but the average case is really not a problem at all.

While you're not wrong about pushing a bunch of recycled crap in a lot of cases, you're just plain wrong (TM) on prices. The price of games has been falling for decades when you adjust for inflation. The average retail boxed game has cost:

1985: $35 ($110 after adjusting for inflation)
1990: $50 ($125)
1995: $60 ($125)
2000: $60 ($115)
2005: $60 ($105)
2010: $60 ($95)
2015: $60 ($85)
2020: $60 ($75)
2025: $80 ($80)

As you can see, the "$20" price increase is rather more modest when you account for inflation, and is a *long way* from offsetting the drop in pricing that we've seen over the past 3 decades. The games industry, unfortunately, can't survive on expecting the base of players to continuously expand, like it has in the past. If they're going to pay all the people working on these games, they genuinely do need to keep up with inflation now.

Tim Sweeny wants to be able to push out AI generated swill without you being able to tell until itâ(TM)s too late. News at 11.

Indeed, now it's not dark matter, but instead the matter previously known as dark.
