Yeah that’s fair. My RAM usage is through the roof lately, but it pretty clearly happened when I switched to a multimonitor setup. I’m much more likely to have a lot of stuff in the background now because it’s easier to have a lot open at the same time in the practical sense.

But I was lucky enough to grab a 64GB kit before prices went into the sky. Believe it or not, I was regularly up against the limit when I had 32GB.

“Starting to”? 16GB is just a few tabs open for long enough.

Assuming around USD $220 for a 16GB kit of DDR5, it now costs $27.50 more to run Ubuntu.

WWIII will be caused by hoarding of energy. Green solutions are fantastic, but they have been kicked down the road for too long.

That was a landmark case for Hollywood and changed how things are handled with regards to an actor’s likeness being used in films to which they are not attached. AFAIK, Glover got something in compensation, but it was a settlement out of court (= not public record).

“Stock market surges on news…”

“Stock market tumbles due to…”

“The Dow is over 9,000”

It doesn’t matter when it’s up. It doesn’t matter when it’s down. Imagine if media started reporting on the wellbeing of actual individuals instead of the fake money wheel.

The stock market will continue to have very little bearing on the lives of average citizens. Tariffs killing small businesses? Let’s see those stories.

This. AI is not and will not be profitable. It’s afloat because of an investor circlejerk. Once they get off then it’s over. A waiting game.

I always plug it during threeways.

Ain’t no time like the present to stop pretending damage isn’t already being done constantly. Time for the mooch class to pay their share.

Musk is a hype man and a con man. Nothing more. A stupid man’s idea of what a smart man looks and acts like.

The failed promises have not been surprising for a long time. What is surprising is how much money people still throw at the man.

Absoutely. It takes like 5 seconds to get a real photo.

But I have considerable downvotes on my original comment. Maybe bots. Maybe AI bros who need to see the light and that their tech is based on the death of IP law.

Exactly, makes no sense to me

Really cool article. Except this bit:

The image of Saturn was generated with ChatGPT.

Fucking why? Could have saved time and energy with traditional search. Leave the slop out, please.
