A better metaphor would perhaps be machining. You will not find a shop that has no CNC anywhere, but the machinists who can also use manual machines will always have an edge for certain things. Not that they're working manually much in their day to day, and not as all as a failsafe, but you can just tell who has that kind of background.

(And you can also tell whose mind is stuck in the old world, too.)

Pixel Phone's locally generated real-time subtitles are better than the ones on YouTube, that's how much effort is put into that.

The protocol needs ugly extensions to have a variety of devices plug into the same user account. For me back in the day this was an ssh session running the IRC client in a screen, and it was no worse than whatever else was available.

The Hackernews snark would likely be worse had they called it 'bureau'.

Have you consumed any media in the last decades.

Ed Zitron Voice: Is that good?

Depending on how you build it, you could run homeassistant next to your smb, which lends itself to all sorts of add-ons such as calibre-web for displaying eBooks and synchronizing progress.

Of course, gitea and surroundings, or similar ci/cd can be a fun thing to dabble with if you aren't totally over that from work.

Another fun idea is to run the rapidly developing immich as a photo storage solution. But in general, the best inspiration is the awesome-selfhosted list.

In your opinion, what would instead justify the total cost of devoting 10'000 people's lives to basic research?

That is equivalent to a continuous draw of 150 MW. Not great, not terrible.

Far less power than those projected gigawatt data centers that are surely the one thing keeping AI companies from breaking even.

Look into CXL, Oculink, and riser cables.

How's AMD's engineering support these days? I've heard through the grapevine that many laptops were mostly engineered by intel engineers, creating a natural moat because the laptop brands are used to not having to do much PCB layout or thermals.

AMD, I heard, seemed less capable, or less interested, or couldn't justify at their quantities, to do the same, which meant their engineering support packages were good for atx mainboards only, and maybe the occasional console.

This must have changed a while ago, does anyone have the tea?

I agree insofar as the motor is not a Big Ticket Item, opposed to ICE cars where the engine block is going to be 10% or more.

Tesla (I know) claimed a 30kg (?) weight loss on their Cybertruck (I know) just from moving their 12V systems to 48V, allowing for lighter cables at lower currents. Not all such potential is untapped, and my hunch is that there is more to be had with structural battery integration, battery cooling, and high voltage wiring.

To me the real question is what kind of trust has eroded that Americans stopped electing smart people into office.

That explains so much. Done to well for a goof channel, eclectic assortment of skills ("tactical garden trowel" vs fully equipped metal shop vs perfect video production), all fat trimmed off the videos.

I kinda want tvtropes to put a name on his slapstick humor. It's like looking over the shoulder of that weird uncle that seems to live in an entirely different world.
