Temporary until its not.

It's the new normal, get used to it.

The MAG7 isn't pumping all their FCF + new debt issuance into DC's just for fun.

The world is seemingly moving into a era where compute is becoming expensive and scarce.

Only thing that can possibly change this is LLMs hitting a vertical unscalable wall.

More AI compute = more CPU, memory, storage needs.

everything is like that, reddit, X, fb, IG, tiktok.

user beware

Discovery was bad.

I was the one to push G+ and Gwave on my friends and it did not take at all.

Sad part is that even though SpaceX / Elon has been very clear about expected outcomes it's still used against them.

Exactly, and especially SV and the US has seemingly been almost entirely locked down by Indians.

At some point, everyone on Facebook realized almost at the same time, that it was no longer a place to share, but a place to compete.

Then everyone basically stopped sharing and started curating.

This is what "ESG" is in practice.

Its insanity.

Give powers to idiots and they will come up with stuff like this.

Trumps Playbook will actually work, so MAGA will get results.

Tariffs will force productivity and salaries higher (and prices), then automation which is the main driver of productivity will kick in which lowers prices of goods again.

Globalisation was basically the west standing still and waiting for the rest to catch up - the last to industrialise will always have the best productivity and industrial base. It was always stupid, but it lifted billions out of poverty so there's that.

The effects will take way longer than the 3 years he has left, so he has oversold the effectiveness of it all.

This is all assuming AGI isn't around the corner, the VLAs, VLM, LLM and other models opens up automation on a whole new scale.

For any competent person with agency and a dream, this could be a true golden age - most things are within reach which before was locked down behind hundreds or thousand of hours of training and work to master.

omg notion is horrendous

This is from the All in session? ;

Seems to me that this is just another level of throwing compute at the problem.

Same way programs was way more efficient before and now they are "bloated" with packages, abstractions, slow implementations of algos and scaffolding.

The concept of what is good software development might be changing as well.

LLMs might not write the best code, but they sure can write a lot of it.

Prompting and context solves this.

Margin Call hits the spot without becoming overly pompous like The Big Short. Its story is centered around Goldman Sachs.

And make no mistake Wall Street gambles full well knowing that the government will save them - Steve Bannon was right on the spot about that.

LK-99? The room temperature superconductor made by some guys in a small lab in Korea after 20 years of attempts - who doesn't want that to be real.

Won´t say people fell for it though it was just the current happening at the time.

As a kid of the late 90s i feel like it was kinda unfair.

Back in the day (70s(?)80s) computers shipped with the programming language manual. All I got was a CDROM of ENCARTA and a slip to mail in for a restore set of MS DOS / WIN 3.1 diskettes(which was sorely needed I might add).

Its written for people who know nothing about computers but most people who will read it knows loads.

Remember we used to have Aoe2 sessions on LANS when we were kids back in the 00s and like 1 in 3 games just crashed after everyone had played for like 2-3 hours.

In a way it was even better because then nobody had to loose, and everyone believed they were winning.

Why are people not using plugins like Cline?!

Multiple sea landings, but I guess you'd argue those don't count since the vehicles tip over in water and explode.

Moving barges in the sea should qualify though.

Most important was to have a under construction sign gif and a counter. And maybe a guestbook.

I bought an iPad in 2020, its very practical the 5 times a year I use it.

I find it hard to believe that the NSA/CIA don't have the capability to uncover, insert own players and stop this.

LLMs are fundamentally a new paradigm, it just isn't distributed yet.

It's not like the web suddenly was just there, it came slow at first, then everywhere at once, the money came even later.

Work to live or live to work.

Surely end of an era.

It's ironic that Chamath Palihapitiya who was responsible for growth at Facebook previously was the VP/GM for ICQ @AOL.

ICQ was so ubiquitous back in the day, and then lost it all.

Apple intelligence really is a dud and the fact that Siri still is utterly useless for anything other than basic timers is just hard to fathom.

"AI" is pretty much DOA as far as I am concerned.

But hey, they got me to upgrade, so maybe Apple views it as a win for their financials.

Site is flagged by basically everything for phishing.

Anyone got the inside scoop?

What does Uber have? Except exceptional losses in the 50B range? Like do they have any hardware at all?

The entire Selfdriving/Robotaxi space goes the same way that ASIC miners for bitcoin did - the producers find it most profitable to run it themselves while selling expensive hardware to end users.
