My man, bragging about paying 33~ percent more for a bottom tier burger joint on top of a subscription is not the statement you think it is.

You couldn't torture that out of me.

There was a lot more pride in professional work yeah. People cared about doing a good job. I'm not quite sure what caused the decline over 3+ decades but you could probably throw a dart at "the internet" and probably hit something partially related.

I think theres just MUCH more depression over the much more visible reality that your upper managers don't care about you or the work you put out. Especially now with AI companies pitching them a salivating dream of doing the work of 100 with 10.

the point is that "task" is a dubiously defined unit that the frontier labs adjust to whatever makes them look good.

your miniPC doesn't have GDDR RAM. PS5 does!

There are several public git hosts hosted in countries that don't care about DMCA.

And nothing is stopping you from renting a VPS from a provider based in that country and running gitlab or something.

The worst part is sharing around a sketchy URL but, that just comes with the territory when you're in the DMCA dodging parts of the internet.

DDR4 never left. DDR4 RAM pricing has also been spiking, just not quite as hard as DDR5.

If my DDR4 RAM go kaput I'm screwed just as I would be on DDR5.

I think it also has a bit to do with the AI sector of tech still moving at lightning speed.

Theres already models that outdo DS 4.1 flash in cost/performance. Luna 6 on max effort for example. Luna also doesn't care what time of the day it is for cost calculation.

And I'm sure by the time people ask why Luna 6 is being slept on there will be another cost/performance king

The amount of irrationality I see in the economy with AI makes me more convinced that the wall street bankrollers know very well they're throwing money into a pit, but it's a pit they're gambling will turn into some world hunger ending AI (that will somehow also keep them making money off of scarcity)

never mind that theres no guarantee we'll get that mythical AI. Never mind that the societal reformations would also impact their revenue numbers.
