I don’t believe this, because it is too stupid. 2026 demand forecasts for HBM I don’t believe will materialize, as customers can’t pay those crazy RAM prices either, OpenAI can’t pay for all of their promises, demand isn’t high enough for the planned data centers, and power and labour constraints.

I don’t believe it because Micron is a brand that has value premium to it. Even if they just keep charging extortionist prices while HBM demand fantasy remains propagandized, there will eventually be worthwhile consumer demand for RAM, right? Killing the division and firing everyone in it, is Micron saying “making too much money from HBM must forever put all eggs in HBM basket”

You want 2-3 phones instead of a folding phone. Light pocketable phone for actual mobile purposes. Can get a data only esim phone with voip to supplement voice/text phone, and have independent enabled data. independent charging. Backup when broken/lost phone. I suggest:

1-2 lightweight phones for mobility.
1 large possibly rugged phone for video or rugged adventures. Can be steam deck on a stand that is better setup as a dashboard. email + web tickers/discord. samsung and other phones also have a “desktop multiwindow mode”
3rd phones, can help with having 2 separate phones act as bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Keep banking/secret stuff seperate/more secure during travel. Keep one in a locked tilt/swivel stand near bed most of the time. mod to alternate os.

2 or 3 phones is much more storage/ram and audio quality than including a tablet, with better portability options in both packing and daily use. It’s also much less $, and can leapfrog upgrades.

So concerned that we bribed foreign terrorists to blow shit up in Xinjiang, forcing China to spend on education and job programs there.

Such pure evil to recycle Russophobic propaganda to devote austerity towards a pointless suicidal war that can only hope to get Europe nuked. Europe needs to drop desperation for alliance with the US.

If you ever stream cable news in the background during business hours. experts will come on to tell you that if the US doesn’t bankrupt itself, then Russia or China wins. The only remaining hope for US economy seems to be to beat China at AI, because it can’t beat it at anything else. So, all the money for military, and AI to help military make Skynet, which will mostly be used to ensure establishment can control/kill Americans who don’t support Skynet for Israel supremacist rule over the US, is simply a continuation of the tautology of “all US money for militarist US establishment control over all of you”, but with more efficient AI.

But, but… surely, the most important AI application of all time, my OpenAI girlfriend, who truly loves me beyond all monetization opportunities, will never be replaced by a hotter newer model.

UBI is not going to win out over soylent green.

Establishment prefers solylent green solution to unneeded slavery for sure. UBI is an obvious winning political platform, even though it does not provide the proponents with maximum political power, the way that bandaids on oligarchist supremacism still allows for supremacism and soylent green to rise as the solution.

Simply, the answer, is to reject establishment politics, including Bernie as controlled opposition proposing nonsense that gets shot down for its stupidity, instead of UBI.

Also, an MIT study released today, said 135m US jobs could be replaced with AI agents.

The only possible customer for committed datacenter projects is the US government. the bailout is just buying all the datacenter time… because if not, China wins. Amazon, despite no congressional appropriations yet, has announced $50B datacenter to supply government customers.

Not sure of exact windows comparisons, but 5090 had problems, and I don’t think amd is ahead of nvidia by as much on windows.

There’s a scam by large companies, Apple included, where pricing globally is based on US prices. Even with tariffs by US on everyone, and no tarriffs in US colonies, companies boost prices everywhere to subsidize US customers. Our colonial governments say nothing.

has to pay a per-device licensing fee.

Where I’m confused, is that it would be a perpertual/long term annual license fee per device. It would make sense to have a one time fee per device shipped. That would not affect older models.

I guess what is happening is that manufacturers can stop paying for the capabilities by “downgrading” their driver support, and it affects old and new systems the same when users “update”?

does dell/hp have to pay annual license fees in perpetuity for systems they sell???

an npm library to right pad strings is somewhere in there.

seems more mature, and external automation oriented. I’m interested in developing voice text editing tools. Don’t really know if what I linked is best suited platform.

If Anthropic can raise another $15B at “just” $300B valuation, then presto whammo, it just gained $150B for shareholders at no cost, while paying its oligarch sponsors double what they put in.

Massive technology breakthrough. Torpedo is just as big. Sad that they are not also providing a cost effective micro SMR power solution as well, though I get that power delivery depends on “wind intake speed”. This is extreme nuclear/missile weapon supremacy, that Russia already had with hypersonics.

Not the usual power kite design which is more “air wing sail” shaped instead of parachute shaped. Use of helium balloon would make it less susceptible to fall to ground in wind lull.

Kites tend to make electrical power by changes in tension rather than tension. The air wing allows a cycle of power and depower movements to drive a motor. I don’t get how a parachute can do the same, though this would be good for boat propulsion.

A classification problem is correlation vs causation. Sunspots and mini skirts have been correlated with stock market returns to some degree, but it tends to be a tenuous connection not guaranteed to hold up over time, or to actually have any meaningful relevance whatsoever. It’s easy to oversell models.
