Isn't Argentina also being run by a sexist egotistical populist TV star who's destroying their government from the inside out? Out of the frying pan and into the fire...

You are asking for 1TB of RAM. Keying it to M.2 wouldn't make it any cheaper or better than keying it to regular DDR5. I don't think that even just a tenth of that would physically fit onto an NVMe drive, even if someone wanted it to.

Put in that context, do you begin to see now why that isn't a thing that exists?

Also: leave tariffs on raw materials in place, making local production even less competitive than before.

Me too! I upgraded to Fedora Linux. It's amazing how everything just works, even all the games I play.

Your experience is not invalid, but It's fucked up that you're giving Windows credit for "just working" when Windows doesn't even try to support dual booting. In fact the reason Linux is having so much trouble is because it has to tiptoe so that Windows doesn't break.

If you don't like Gnome or Mint Cinnamon, why not try KDE? Something like Kubuntu, perhaps? I use Fedora KDE myself.

Because it's actually a quotation.

I know this is the internet, but quotation marks weren't always just meant to denote insincerity...

Yep. Innocent until proven guilty, and not a single one of them was so much as indicted, much less charged or convicted. Blatant disregard for the constitution as well as human rights, everyone all the way up the chain of command needs to be prosecuted for this.

That is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn't intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.

The AI companies don't seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn't they, when power is so cheap.

It can't be just that, right? There are loads of successful products that any given person only ever buys once.

How on Earth did they manage to fuck this up?

They were the leading firm in a field where having the most data makes yours the most accurate tests. Their product sold for hundreds of dollars a pop, with practically zero marginal costs to run the tests. And they were really popular, selling like hotcakes.

It's insane just how astoundingly incompetent upper management can be sometimes.

When you donate to a software project, you're not giving money to some inanimate concept. You're giving it to the developers, the "random people associated with it."

Kling's actions are harmful, and contribute to an open source environment less welcoming to ~4 billion people. I don't want to reward that. Unless you do, you would be better off putting your support elsewhere, too.

It’s textbook misogyny.

No, it is not.

Yes, it is.

It's sexist when you assume someone is a man because they're a doctor. It's sexist when you assume someone is a woman because they're a nurse. And it's sexist when you assume someone is a man because they're an OS developer.

When you continue insisting that the OS developer be a man, even though it's been clarified to you that they just as well may not be, that's when your behavior crosses the line to misogynistic.

It isn't a fucking "convention" to push women down by insinuating they're not welcome in your profession, and it's not a "new convention" to fucking avoid doing that.
