Is there anyone in the AI sector that is making profit and re-investing it? I guess that really only applies to Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. that other lines of business to prop up their AI divisions, vs. companies like OpenAI and Anthrophic. I wonder where NVIDIA will land...

I'm sensing sarcasm but is it not true that the scale of obligations is unsustainable?

As for preparation, I'm not sure. I have a 401k that I'm worried about. I'm too young to really remember the dotcom bubble, let alone have any stake in the stock market at the time.

Yeah there was just a story about how there are hundreds of billions of dollars in "non-cancellable" debt obligations to build AI data centers. But they're building far beyond current demand, I feel like the collapse is inevitable.

The idea that everything will be fine after the data centers file for bankruptcy seems a bit naive

Yeah but general purpose data centers that allow hobbyists to spin up an app or a service easily is exactly that: general purpose. AI data centers are built for the very specific kind of math that LLM's require. Even the GPU's can't even be used for something like cloud gaming, which isn't very popular anyways.

Probably has something to do with the recent anti-science movement that currently has our country and government in a chokehold.

On the price hikes on RAM and everything else we're still looking for the guys that did this...

And I imagine you've never experienced a Canadian ER, so what now?

You also wait a looooong time to get treatment at an ER in the US too, unless you're actively dying, and sometimes even if you are.

Really hoping some good guy hacker manages to take them all down somehow

Agreed. I'm not looking forward to iOS 27 where basically the only option is this new Siri. I was perfectly content with using the old "dumb" Siri to set timers, turn on a light and control my Apple TV and nothing else.

Good reminder to delete my Facebook account

I set up a WireGuard VPN and use that to connect back to my home network. It's fast enough for what I do on my phone.

Yeah I have a VPN set up. I don't have the best internet so sometimes it's slow (mostly just app downloads seem to take the longest, so I'll just disable it and then re-enable it.) But it works just fine for streaming, including video

I've been loving the Pihole setup I just set up. It uses Quad9 as the upstream provider and then I do all the blocking myself. I used to use NextDNS but this is so much better and free!

Yeah the article is specifically about replacing the old unreliable elevator with a new modern one.

Is this finally it?

Elon Musk has so much blood on his hands for this and USAID

Losing Dolly Parton and Tim Curry back to back my heart can't take it

Well one works reliably and the other is "agentic" AI

Right, because disabled people have been sitting at home not able to book a restaurant until now

The accessibility tools most computers have had since the 90's? Apple has a plethora of screen navigation tools in their OS's. Or, calling the restaurant and booking a table directly in this case.

It does mention something about "using the page you're already logged into" so I presumed that it meant the browser you had open in front of you

We already have accessibility tools for that

Jesus fucking Christ you're on a restaurant booking page looking at a date picker and you need an agent to fill it out for you?

You can get Proton through CrossOver at least. I haven't done much testing but I know some people use it to do some basic gaming.

I've resorted to buying refurb HDD's for my NAS (which I backup to rsync.net) but like damn!

and FOR WHATTTT

I'm not excited for iOS 27. I tried out the beta and decided to reset my phone to get my back to iOS 26. I find the new Siri is far worse and slower to respond, if that's even possible. It also adds new features that are hard to remove. I only use it for timers and playing music and the current Siri is just fine for that imo.

I do not pretend to understand any of this but I damn I love science
