With insurance in the US they’re $750 each… As in elbow and wrist on the same arm count separately…

Seemed like “SETI At Home” and protein folding were the big thing back in the day.
With GPUs, I wonder what is done on supercomputers today, especially GPUs now having ludicrous amounts of RAM.
AI hardware costs are nothing compared to executives’ stock options too…
Building from stage1 with customized CFLAGS was all the rage then…
In the old days, Microsoft Entertainment Pack games were somewhat visibly taxing on some lower end systems.
I think we owe tabloids a small apology…
One cannot be a director/VP of 3 people. They need an empire…
Something like this will never cost patients $100. Even if the actual cost to a provider was $5, patients would be billed $500 after insurance…
For a while, 16bit would probably have seemed too extravagant. Now 32bit would probably seem too small.
For a “strongly typed” language, C is pretty damn loose where would have mattered.
I once realized that the “snowball” of dread/fear in my chest was likely a minor irregular heartbeat (that I’ve always had) exacerbated in stressful situations.
The municipality could service all the homes and pay for it with taxes, probably using their own people or a negotiated contract.
The private (and usually no -savvy) individual has much less negotiating power and is going to get taken to the cleaners by a plumber. Three houses in a street are likely to have 3 different plumbers on 3 different dates.
It’s just like that the cost per square foot to pave a single driveway vs the entire sidewalk or foundations for a whole neighborhood.
Lovebugs are visible and land on their arm.
Try explaining WHY the bugs are connected…
The line of 90 degrees north latitude shouldn’t be visible on a map…
Why have teachers?
The AI might as well grade itself.
They make Simple things Complicated.
Is it actually separate from the AI related mania?
I feel like even the COVID related R&D surge couldn’t have been anywhere close.
(Perhaps technically unfair, but I don’t view AI related stuff as traditional R&D given the irrational forces driving it. Seems closer to the Dutch Tulip Mania episode).
Even if they had 10 billion users with 10 billion repositories it shouldn’t be a big deal on a home PC.
