I remember, when we were learning prolog, that in the 70s, or something like, that they were already experimenting with AI and it was quite good at diagnostics. However doctors were scared of losing jobs instead of embracing it and using it as a tool. So they dropped it at the time. Hopefully they will use it as an additional tool this time and everybody profits.

Not that expensive either. And that’s already included in the energy price. Also volume is magnitudes smaller than used solar panels.

Nuclear is reliable, predictable and stable 24/7 source. Solar not so much and possibly not that great for the environment if we don’t figure out what to do with used solar panels. Also their production is not exactly clean. Whereas nuclear requires a wasted fuel storage somewhere and the fuel will eventually run out of radiation in some hundreds of thousands years.

I’d certainly hope for RISC-V. Perhaps now that we have a little bit more of an incentive, we will make some progress.

But outside of TSMC it looks like just Samsung competing in the space, as you said Intel miles behind and AMD sold off all it’s fabs

Not sure how it is going, but Chinese are also pouring a ton of money into bleeding edge class processes by using an alternative technology than ASML (for obvious reasons). Will try to find the link somebody posted.

Yep, and that’s a biggly problem. If EU AI becomes a threat (or perceived threat) to US economic and other interests (and especially when orange is in charge), they would slap tariffs at those at least. If not forbid export.

And on what EU hardware it will run?

Even with Linux it wouldn’t be that safe, if apps were doing this crap.

For now. But the trend is depressing and eventually it won’t be profitable for anybody and one day there will be no more disc drives to buy.

Just read few posts above that Blue ray is done with Sony shutting down last factory for drives. I guess it’s time to stock drives 🤷‍♂️

Yet both stores removed the app. Also there could be fines if they didn’t comply I guess.

No, it’s not, at least not at scale, because you need specific geography and plenty of water. Why do you think we are not massively using it?

Enlighten us with better approach. Also there are battery types that are less flammable.

Edit: is -> us

Bring back NNTP!

Why die, though? There are open source and federated alternatives or there.

Right, and if somebody wants a bigger one, just buy dutch tape. Colors? No problem, just buy crayons. /s

Yep, combine it with really resistant glasses to achieve even better trap.

Yep, that made sense when it was a “mere” microcontroller, but in computerland it’s not the best option. Actually it’s bad. There are add-ons that can be attached, but I doubt you can stuff them in there.

So, the competition (from Google in this case) really works miracles.
