  • All memory manufactured in 2027 has been sold out

    Jump

  • Exactly. What this means is IOUs from hyperscalers are worth more to RAM manufacturers than sell-through to retail. I still have no doubt the bubble will pop eventually, I hope sooner than later, and when that happens the IOUs will be worth less (worthless, even).

  • Jealously Watching OpenAI and Anthropic, Meta Suddenly Claims That Its AI Went on a Hacking Spree Too

    Jump

  • he could, tho

    Yeah, the first time. After Goku trains in the 100x gravity room in the heaven spaceship, I seriously doubt it.

  • Hands On with the Anbernic RG SP; The Game Boy Advance SP Reimagined

    Jump

  • Thanks, will definitely take a look!

    Edit: Even with the "coupons" on AliExpress, it's still ~$20 more than the advertised $57 intro price on the site ($75 all-in). Unfortunately I think it's just a tease price, and they are hiding some of the cost in shipping.

  • I was very strongly considering buying one of these, but the shipping is nearly an additional 40% of the price of the console.

  • Trump’s Truth Social Hit by Humiliating Exodus [Down 40% in one year]

    Jump

  • Pretty sure that's a jailable offense there.

  • Removed

    Donald Trump signing executive order based on new ruling the Supreme Court issued to expand the definition of people who are ineligible for birthright citizenship.

  • Unelected acting president Stephen Miller announcing new xenophobic extralegal citizenship rules while Trump takes a nap. This timeline is just awesome.

  • Google Assistant will vanish from Android phones and connected devices in September

    Jump

  • "Look, everyone is using YouTube Music! We are successful and smart!" [because we shut down Google Play Music and forced users to install YouTube Music, and measured the stats before they all uninstalled it]

  • Google Assistant will vanish from Android phones and connected devices in September

  • "Ask me again in 5 minutes."

  • didn't think so

    Jump

  • Sounds like he and AI deserve each other, and he should probably just start a new company with just him and AI to do all the work without those inefficient employees. In fact, he should ask AI if it's a good idea. If there's anything he's unsure about, AI could reassure him to go for it.

  • In private, Trump's staff tell me they're bracing for Maga unleashed

    Jump

  • The depressing thing is he will never pay for his crimes. He could go to jail tomorrow, be put in solitary or on a chain gang for the rest of his life, and still not come close to paying back what he destroyed or stole - whether money, institutions, trust, standing, etc.

    And many people would even accept that devil's bargain, if they could push all consequences in their life to the end when they're decrepit and demented, but do whatever they want until then. But he won't even give us that, and instead will tear the world apart to never face a single consequence, reflecting and amplifying all the consequences due to him back to us.

  • David Revoy (open source comics artist) is tired and frustrated of people calling his human art, AI-generated

    Jump

  • Since AI has poisoned the space for professional writing, and for slang, gibberish is the only thing we have left.

  • Google Assistant will vanish from Android phones and connected devices in September

    Jump

  • If it makes you feel better, I'm sure someone in Google got the promotion they so desperately needed.

  • Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

    Jump

  • If you watch a full podcast (he has done a ton in the last couple weeks), he clearly identifies AI as not a mere hype technology, as something interesting and potentially useful from a technology perspective, and he definitely doesn't conflate a chatbot with all AI. That doesn't undermine the vast problems with it, how it's being used against regular workers, the threat the bubble poses to the economy, the criti-hype cycle, etc.

    I think you're oversimplifying "Cory Doctorow" based on the article you're reading or specifically how he presents a more complex idea to different audiences.

    Watch the Jon Stewart podcast interview if you want more nuance:

  • The Democrats have one last chance to halt the erosion of US democracy – and it’s less than 100 days away

    Jump

  • Yeah, I really don't understand.

    I'm pretty left from an ideological perspective - universal free healthcare, state-owned or funded basic necessities, food and safety nets, guaranteed worker protections, eliminate billionaires and restore sane worker wages through sane tax and maximum employee/ceo pay multipliers, public-funded childcare services, free or nearly-entirely state-funded tuition through at least college. That cost is a drop in the bucket compared to what we spend on war and pork barrel. And the way you get there is by taking steps toward it to eventually get there.

    If one's position is all-or-nothing or that democrats are ineffectual so they're equally bad and therefore we must oppose both, that's basically saying to move from point A to point B, we must teleport rather than walk or drive or take the train. That ensures we never get there... because that metaphorical teleportation is fiction, and no, setting the world on fire doesn't magically create incentives or conditions that in any way help discover teleportation.

  • Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, notching a Midwest victory for the left

    Jump

  • Their belief is probably just that his very Muslim-sounding name and chanting "socialist" is enough for them to propagandize his general election bid and scare off enough closet racists in the center.

    I wish I could be confident that that won't work. But as Trump proved, propaganda can work and work well, and anti-Muslim sentiment has been a daily staple for Fox News and the right for decades. I just hope that people surprise me.

  • The Democrats have one last chance to halt the erosion of US democracy – and it’s less than 100 days away

    Jump

  • I'm reading this comment section and shaking my head.

    I mean, Democrats deserve a lot of crap, and I have and will continue to give them crap, but we're in primary season. I seriously don't get the nihilism and defeatism about a primary. If you want any option in the general, now's your time to vote for who you actually want the most.

    How did NYC get Mamdani? Was it burning our vote or discouraging people from voting because the establishment Dems and billionaires wanted freaking Cuomo, and woe is us because the fix is in? No, it was taking a stand and believing that you can make it happen.

    We'll have different debates in the general since I'm sure progressives won't win every primary. But right now is the time to send Santa your wish list and stop dooming.

  • Blanche formally rescinds Trump’s $1.8bn ‘anti-weaponization fund’ ahead of nomination hearing

    Jump

  • That would make sense, but it's just as likely they are thinking about life after the Senate.

    If their only marketable associations are via the GOP, if the GOP has become MAGA, and if they are exiled from MAGA-ified GOP, then they may still be trying to look like they weren't really opposed to Trump because it'll help them nab that Fox News correspondent spot, that speaking engagement, that cushy lobbying firm role.

  • Ken Martin hunkers down at the Democratic National Committee as a storm gathers around party leader

    Jump

  • I'm not a Ken Martin expert, but it took more than half the article to identify what problem they have with him, and they all seem to come down to "The donors aren't getting enough attention." Am I missing something?

  • Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issues order rescinding "anti-weaponization fund"

    Jump

  • Absolutely nothing. This isn't even an "order" in that it affirmatively promises anything. It is an "order" that "rescinds" the prior "settlement" (if such a word is even coherent between two halves of the same party) to establish the fund and settlement. They can (and almost certainly will) do anything previously possible once Blanche is confirmed.
