It seems melodramatic right until Russia blows up your bank's data center, and their digital payment system goes down for days or weeks just as you're out buying groceries.

Some LLM companies paid with stocks instead of cash, or with a mix of cash and stocks. Sometimes Nvidia invested in companies and those companies used that money to buy Nvidia GPUs / NPUs.

Nvidia can lose a lot of money if those companies fail. But even in the absolute worst case, Nvidia can go back to making video game GPUs and they will be fine.

The problem is for everyone else who invested in AI. Especially American "401" retirement funds that always invest in the 100 biggest companies.

Can one argue with a straight face that people will learn to code better by using a predominantly AI-based workflow? Or even learn by reading vibecode uploaded by someone else?

Hell, I'd argue that Vibecode without the prompt that generated it isn't even real open source.

A more relevant quote is "to enable equal opportunities regarding the access to knowledge and education." from their mission statement. As a gemeinnütziger Verein (charitable association) their charta is legally binding.

Predominantly suicide, actually. Which is committed with whatever is conveniently at hand, and reducing convenience reduces incidence.

It would be less suspicious if the drive advertised 512GB and returned garbage data for any read past 8GB

It has an SD card because proper flash is expensive. Surely the people making "4TB" flash drives on Temu must be using the same methods, or else they will be soon.

That list only includes suggestions that were seriously considered and voted on.

Since it's a vote, there is no single official 'reason' for rejection. If I had to guess: it would be confusing to anyone who didn't grow up with American TV shows.

To prevent this sort of abuse, the server would have to request the `pseudonym` field, which contains a hash across the server identity and the card's secret salt, allowing the server to detect abuse but not to track the user across multiple services.

Audiophile products are a known scam.

This is an enthusiast product, as evidenced by the premise that you care about color-coordinating the inside of your computer.
