When the AI bubble burst there will be dirt cheap RAM for everybody.
It’s quite entertaining to follow the shitshow that is AI and datacenters. Especially OpenAI and Oracle. 🤡 😂

It’s a sad reality that it can now be debatable which is worse. But here we are.

But Beijing, including Chinese leader Xi Jinping himself, has also spoken about the risks posed by AI. China must “balance development and security”, and introduce and improve relevant laws and ethical guidelines, and strengthen prevention of risks, to “safeguard the interests of the people and national security”, state security minister Chen Yixin wrote on Sunday.

This is true I’ve read articles about how the Chinese government is working on legal models to make AI “safe for children”.

It’s ironic in these times of asymmetric warfare beating traditional war machinery at a fraction of the price.
It’s kind of the same the Chinese is doing on AI. USA is building huge datacenters concentrated around the forecasts for less than a handful of AI companies. While China is building AI into everything, and are working on making AI work decentralized to be useful in way more task specific circumstances and way cheaper.

Maybe the 2 can coexist? But I think the American approach is overkill, and a lot of people will lose a lot of money they invested in that shit.

So I don’t think the competition from China is designed to be malicious or disruptive, it has grown out from a different set of circumstances and necessity, because USA has been denying China the necessary chips to perform well with the American approach. Making it near impossible for China to work with American companies especially suppliers. Which China did until American politicians ruined it.

China is building AI for everybody to use everywhere. While USA is attempting to monopolize AI services within monolithic services controlled by a few gigantic companies.

I think safety is also easier to implement with the Chinese model, that doesn’t attempt to create AGI or Strong AI as we used to call it. But is creating AI that works well for what it was designed for.

Wonderful. 👍

Isn’t this the same price as when Vive came out?
And I think that had a more sophisticated placement system than this one.
I know prices are high currently, but the general idea is that the new should be better and cheaper.

Having the fan blow out will mostly repeatedly replace the air close by the window, as the air sucked by the fan is taken from the immediate surroundings, and that air is standing mostly still, so the same pocket of air will continuously be replaced.
If you let the fan blow into the room however, it will be pushed further into the room, helping to move the air in the room more, and increasing how much air is actually shifted out of the room.
The problem with taking in the air it blows from the immediate vicinity still exist, but normally there will be some movement in outside air, so the air sucked from the immediate vicinity is replaced by the natural wind replacing it outside, preventing the air that just escaped the room from being sucked in again.

So blowing in replaces way more air on average, the exception being if it works against an airflow in the room in opposite direction.

It was a lot more than a provocation.
It was an illegal attack of war and a war crime already on day 1.

P as in pedo.

We bought a cheap flir for Android way back when that was new. I bet they’ve gotten both way better and cheaper.

They are planning to eliminate all feed-in compensation

That can’t be right???

Strange to hear Germany doing so poorly, even under Merkel Germany was doing just fine on building renewable capacity.

It’s amazing how good modern cameras are in low light.

There are still situations where mirrorless cameras are not as ideal.

In similar price range?

Germany is still progressing, just at a lower speed. I agree that’s not good, but it is nothing compared to how Trump has prevented the building of new Wind turbines that were billion dollar projects, and had ZERO federal spending. He just does it out of spite.

I bet the German government doesn’t prevent privately funded or state projects. They may not be the best on renewables, but they are not insane like the situation is in USA.

OK, that I can understand, it may feel subjectively nicer, but there are things you can’t do technologically with an SLR, like for instance utilize the light sensitivity of the digital sensor for low light photography.

Above 80% is all year total.

The latency between what you see and when the picture is taken is mechanical, using the viewfinder on a SLR gives zero latency while using it, but when you press the trigger, there is a latency you will never see.
With a high FPS screen for the viewfinder, the latency can easily be way below human perception.

in western countries, this reality is fought very hard at the moment

No only in USA.

Completely irrelevant to the issue. Moving away from using mirrors has nothing to do with what lenses you can use.

DLSRs are a budget option usually compared to a Mirrorless Camera

No SLR is the ones with the mirror. DSLR are digital with a mirror. And they are definitely not “budget”, they are the high end. Except today on a high end digital camera the mirror is not necessary as you can use the sensor for the viewfinder instead.

Yes they can. the technical difference is only in how the viewfinder works.
