- Comment on China's banned memory-maker CXMT unveils surprising new chipmaking capabilities despite crushing US export restrictions — DDR5-8000 and LPDDR5X-10667 displayed 1 week ago:
Lmao when china does it, its sweatshop labour and when western companies pay their labour pennies its the fault of the workers for being lazy.
I get the feeling if this was a us company, people like you would have been chanting this as a success of capitalism that will increase competition and decrease prices.

Its memory we are talking about, literally everyone in the world already uses it. Its not like crypto or other tech that might become obsolete any time soon.
The profit margins might shrink but there will be emough uses for it for sure. Think of personal clouds, archives, maybe cheaper gpus etc etc.
Maybe we will discover/implement algorithms that exploit memory trade offs once it becomes cheap.
- Comment on OpenAI’s Chief Communications Officer Is Leaving the Company 1 week ago:
I don’t believe there are any “good ones” in openai. I recently learned it was ilya who suggested the “AI is too dangerous” rhetoric to close down openai.
AI as a field has always been about making life better, not making more money. OpenAI has just made this whole thing sour.

- Comment on The Algorithm That Detected a $610 Billion Fraud: How Machine Intelligence Exposed the AI Industry’s Circular Financing Scheme 3 weeks ago:
But it is though… AI was started long before computers were made.
AI at its core means “intelligent behaviour exhibited by non-natural/Artificial means”. This means that if your OS “intelligently” switches tasks on physical threads on cpu that’s AI. If you go to supermarket and the door opens when you go near it, that’s AI as well (actually this example was in our intro to AI textbook).
So computers are a special case of AI, so are calculators.
- Comment on The Algorithm That Detected a $610 Billion Fraud: How Machine Intelligence Exposed the AI Industry’s Circular Financing Scheme 3 weeks ago:
Machine intelligence and aritificial intelligence are the same thing. AI just changed its meaning too much i guess. What was AI few years ago, is now machine intelligence.

- Comment on Why doesn't NASA have a go fund me page or kickstarter? Really don't know how they work but would donate. 380 million in the US if everyone gave a dollar would do good? 1 month ago:
Nope, its worse. 1$ is worth far more in a poor person’s pocket than a rich one. Taxation atleast tries to be more fair by taxing based on income.
- Comment on Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come 2 months ago:
If only there were some security researchers who routinely release and audit open source implementations of encryption and data safety programs.
The world would be so much better if people just trusted for-profit organizations instead of actual humans. Cuz all our modern crises like climate change, pfas in water and other ecological crises were caused by individual humans. Not these shareholder backed for profit organizations

- Comment on When the government can see everything: How one company – Palantir – is mapping the nation’s data 3 months ago:
It’s cuz of pro palestinian sentiments growing in the country. They don’t like these analytics companies, but their inner xenophobia trumps it. They have to defend against these filthy immigrants (especially the non-white, non-blue eyes, non-blond ones) from destroying German values. /s

- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 3 months ago:
How about people parent their children?
I believe the issue is that parents themselves are overworked from their job and have no energy to be a parent, because in our society, it is more successful to be a worker than to be a parent.

- Comment on Pakistan’s 22 GW Solar Shock: How a Fragile State Went Full Clean Energy 8 months ago:
Basically the government has been taken over by the fascist military, foreign reserves are already non existent, Pakistan is one of those countries who asks the IMF for a loan every few years, inflation is rising and the bill for electricity is going through the roof cuz god knows how they calculate it. Not to mention, it also has a huuuuge load shedding issue which means it’s not uncommon to lose electricity for 6-12 hours everyday and now Pakistan also has natural gas load shedding.
Soooooooooo, these solar systems pay back their investment much much earlier than other countries I think. Keep in mind that people already don’t waste electricity or water or gas cuz of load shedding and high prices. So it’s considerably cheaper to move houses to fully solar.
It’s funny how much wastage is there in western countries, iirc the carbon footprint of the average person in a third world country is roughly 10 times lower than developed countries.
