They build houses like that too in some countries. Everything fabricated in a factory, large parts taken to site and assembled. Not quite the whole house on the back of a truck, but similar benefits for quality and rapid on-site assembly.

It's great because you can customize the house extensively and the CNC machines make it for you, where as the way we build them in the UK by hand means that every change is expensive and often goes wrong anyway.

It's a bit more serious for Apple, because their RAM is tightly coupled with the CPU, on the same substrate. It has to have very specific parameters to operate at the high speeds they need to make their ARM CPU cores competitive, and for their GPUs to perform half decently with unified memory. They need a lot of bandwidth and their CPUs have massive caches, because the ARM ABI is just not very space efficient compared to x86 and CISC.

That means they are more limited in terms of being able to find alternative suppliers for the RAM they need, and they are going to have to pay top dollar to out-bid AI for it. Without the RAM, they can't even make the CPUs. They lack the flexibility of having a separate CPU/GPU and RAM, both are required to make an M series part.

I do wonder about the hardware RNG on the STM32. They say it passes various randomness tests, and I'm sure they are right, but those tests aren't the be-all and end-all. I'd want to mix it with other sources of entropy.

It's being promoted by the President of the United States and by Federal agencies. It's mainstream and something that lay people will be interacting with. You can justifiably call them blithering idiots for trusting anything POTUS says, but it's definitely relevant news.

Well also that and that valuation i predicated on growth that' physically impossible.

AI companies have started talking about "GW" of installations which makes it simpler to analyze. The electricity capacity doesn't exist to meet the growth predictions. The manufacturing capacity doesn't exist to manufacture the generation capacity required to meet growth predictions. The capacity to build manufacturing facilities to match predictions doesn't exit.

The market has gone irrational because there's no way growth can match predictions. I ain't shorting though because Keynes isn't wrong.

I expect any other irrationality will also bite hard. Claude is pretty good, really. Not, like, perfect and AI will destroy the world and programmers, but the genie is out of the bottle here, something like it is here to stay. It's too useful. But let's say OpenAI stumble and suddenly their terrifying outgoings slightly tip over and they go very broke very fast, well, the market will panic and go omgomgomgomgAIisbadactually!!!111onelelevne and the entire thing, Anthropic included, will crash through the floor, even though people will, for example, still be spending a lot on Anthropic.

Something like an MG S5, for example. CUV shape with plenty of space and a decent boot, 250 miles even in winter at motorway speeds, charges faster than your bladder discharges, autopilot and a nice interior, and while the list price is about 33k with tax, they are actually sold for about 23k with tax for the long range top spec model. That's GBP so convert to USD and it's about 30k, depending on the exchange rate today.

Where's the part of small government, freedom, free market, don't tread on me now?

Right there in power, it was all lies and a branding exercise. The right have never held to those beliefs, but it turns out that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth for enough people that they can get into power.

But you know "both ides" so I voted for the worst. How come on one ever says "both sides" so I voted for Harris?

HP 4%, etc.

Well HP had the genius idea of putting a 8723409821E+27% markup on printer ink while selling the printers at a loss to bring in customers. Unfortunately they also forgot to not make their printers so shit that they self destruct before HP make enough back on the ludicrously overpriced ink.

It's like the shittines doubles for the customer, but somehow cancels out on HP's end.

Fuck HP. Also Apple, can't stand those fuckers (shame their CPU is so good), but also and especially and for ever fuck HP.

Either you posted AI slop or you've been reading so much that you've tarted to ape chat GPT's style.

Anyone who doesn't think it's impressive can go hand in their engineer card at the door.

This feels a bit like a distinction without a difference?

Development feeds into distribution however you do it, so, at some point you have to deal with that.

Besides, pypi is more of a package distribution system than a software development system.

Absolutely not. Money that is frozen is not wealth that goes up in smoke. It is wealth that can and should be redistributed from the rich to the poor. It is available and in sane countries, it is made available. You are also being far too generous to rsilvergun, who clearly did not mean that wealth spent by boomers on healthcare would end up in the hands of the billionaires, he clearly imagined it was instead just gone.

This is the problem with letting these things get out of handle. Crypto and Bitcoin are large enough that they could potentially have an impact on the broader economy when people lose money in them.

You can't just wash your hands of things. Not in a modern economy. Everything is interconnected and sooner or later shit rains down on everybody.

40 bit is within reach of practical guessing attacks. 128 bit is not, but just barely (the limit where it becomes reliably unguessable is somewhere in the 80...100 bit range). If you are serious about things you use at the very least 256 bit. And, obviously, you do independent expert review on any major change. This one is so abysmally insightless and bad, it may well have been an intentionally placed backdoor. I wonder whether they can still reliably say who did the change.

As to who certified that, this is the crapto space. Where everything is easy, nothing needs to be certified and stupid is the name of the game.

Hahahaha, no. I am a bit more sophisticated than you are. Stop projecting.

You think pointing out facts costs me credibility? Well, maybe with the stupid. You seem to be a prime example.

Oh, and look. I am posting at +2. That must kill you inside.
