  • The Internet is built on the rubble of that bubble…

    All those miles of fibre that worldcom put in the ground that sat dark until years after they collapsed, that is what we all are still using to this day, what infrastructure will the ai bubble leave behind when it collapses? The gpus are burnt, and you wouldn’t be able to run them in your home even if you wanted to… The power required alone makes that a non starter



  • Technology exists to serve us, we do not exist to serve technology. That is what silicon valley has fundamentally forgotten, but at the same time, the general population hasn’t exactly done itself any favors either…

    Silicon Valley effectively monetized fomo, instead of being afraid your attention might stray elsewhere they have convinced you not to pay attention to anything else for fear of missing out.

    When Twitter turned to shit EVERYONE should have fucking quit the same day, Facebook has its hooks so fucking deep in our lives that not having it is akin to not having a telephone number …

    8gb I more than enough ram for most things that are not called gaming or video editing, the cast vast majority of people will be fine with 8gb and hopefully with the RAMpolcalypse in full effect we can start seeing some better software optimizations.

    I run a dinky little self hosted server in my basement, and when I spin up a VM to test something or just play around with a new distro I never give the VM more than 4-8gb of ram

    This isn’t a power user device, this is an iPad with a keyboard and trackpad instead of touch. This is your boomer parents next computer not your next computer

    Thinking 8gb of ram is not enough is your windows-brain talking bro, break the m$ conditioning!
