  • Jolla Trying Again To Develop A New Sailfish OS Linux Smartphone

  • I really want one. But I'm not buying any tech product until my existing one turns to dust and no amount of solder can put it back together. So maybe in five or six years?

  • Photo enforcement cameras

  • I mean this in a genuine way, why in your mind those are the two options available? Total anarchy without functioning transit or cameras pointing at drivers?

    There are several different ways to control traffic. If privacy is an importanr factor for a culture, they'd rank privacy respecting alternatives higher.

  • What is your response to people saying "data privacy doesn't matter because it's all out there anyway"?

  • The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops

    Jump

  • I don’t follow the AI bubble trend at all. But I have been seeing alot of videos all of a sudden, popping up in my recommended talking about it. Who knows.

    A few banks started issuing warnings, and some of the "biggest upcoming launches" were extremely underwhelming, like Sora 2 and GPT 5. Not only that, but the companies going all in on replacing workers with AI are still not showing a clear return on investment, so this combination is making people more aware about the bubble.

  • Nicely written comment bro, you look marvelous today

  • China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs

    Jump

  • “1000x faster?” Learn to lie better

    Analogue computers are indeed capable of doing a task 1000x faster than a regular computer. The difference is they do only that task, in a very specific way, and with one specific type of output. You can 3D print at home an "analogue computer" that can solve calculus equations, it can technically be faster than a CPU, but that's the only thing it can do, it's complex, and the output is a drawing on paper.

    If you come up with a repeatable and precise set of mechanical movements that are analogous to the problem you want to solve, you can indeed come up with headlines like that.

  • Too much extra money and not enough beach houses to spend it all!

  • The only thing that feels like missing now is afterburner-like overlay in games.

    There are a thousand applications that provide such an overlay, one is already built into Windows, do you really need yet another?

  • Everyone manages something.

    Most workers manage something and create value. Managers are only managing, remove them and nothing changes - usually things get more optimized, actually.

  • Sure, but the scientists doing those kinds of workflows don’t have anywhere near the money to burn on GPUs

    I'm working in a lab that is purchasing a cluster with a price tag you wouldn't believe even if I could share it, which I can't. We are publicly funded. Scientists are buying this hardware, for this price, because the speed up we get is tremendous.

  • but the something in play has little value out of the AI bubble.

    You're delusional if you think GPUs are of little value. LLMs and fancy image generation are a bubble.

    The gargantuan computational cost of running the machine learning processing that is now required for protein folding and molecular docking is not.

  • I wish. Even knowing it's all a gigantic scam, they'll first protect themselves before letting it burst and screw everybody else. The rich get a buffer period.
