  But I bought only once HDD 😞

  “requires” may have been a more fitting term, but it implies/can be read as the removal hasn’t happened yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The comment I replied to expands from a cat death to a person being dragged. It expands to general accountability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Authoritarian Stack⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  that have gone on for 100s of years in governments… isn’t big and scary

  When I look back there’s several governments I find scary.

  Pointing these things out and running alarm bells is important. That is a systematic recurring problem doesn’t change anything about the problems at hand.

  Are you saying “there have been things like this before so we should see it as normal and not do anything about it or point it out”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse. His fund rose a whopping 489 percent when the market did subsequently fall apart in 2008.

  We may have to wait for another three years.

  I looked into the article to find out how long a timeframe he is betting. Unfortunately, it does not say.

  On Lemmy web you don’t even have to open the article. This info/content is in the content teaser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Alternative title: Trump administration forces YouTube to delete more than 700 videos documenting Israeli human rights violations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe From US Authorities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Safety is part of the business strategy because it has to be, at least to the degree of public image and in business risk assessment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe From US Authorities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not only about data transmitted to the US, but also about data located in the EU - but still under the Microsoft umbrella, a US company.

  Even if you know or strongly suspect something it is important to confirm and have it on record.

  Also, many people don’t have the technical or judicial expertise. It’s obvious to you because you already know it.

  This admission and the following press coverage was likely a significant revelation and wake-up call for a lot of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t imagine the cost.

  Pay per view pay and cost is very low. Per click is better but still not a lot. Using AI world mean investing significantly more money.

  Seems like it would be a money dump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People get jail time, what do we do with machines?

  Hold the manufacturers and operators (specifically for company operated) accountable?

  The machine is the product, not the operator. We don’t jail classic cars either. We hold their operators accountable. The one in control. Self driving has a shift of who is in control - now “indirectly”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Back to virtual RAM on disk. At least we have SSDs now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they have their computers blow up they may not reach that far future point.

  It really depends on your workflows/use, whether you make use of a lot of RAM, and possibly even 128 GB today. That kind of size is certainly niche.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect RAM may become increasingly useful with the shift from pure chat LLM to connected agents, MCP, and catching results and data for scaling things like public Internet search.

  When I think of database system server software, a lot of performance gains are from keeping used data in RAM. With the expanding of LLM systems and it’s concerns, backing data, connective ness, and need for optimisation, a shift to caching and keeping in RAM seems to suggest itself. It’s already wasteful/big and operates on a lot of data, so it seems plausible that would not be a small cache.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It probably won’t happen in one or two lifetimes,

  I understood their comment as AI crash leading to Microsoft crash. A decade of degradation is a different argument - that I would agree with as more realistic.

  Hey Copilot, what happened to Cortana?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It won’t make a difference.

  What other projects they abandoned do you see as so critical that it would break Microsoft?

  All with your permission and built upon the security of Windows 11.

  So I can decline. Good.

  You’re always in control of what Copilot Actions can do. Copilot Actions is turned off by default and you’re able to pause, take control or disable it at any time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ruby Central tries to make peace after 'hostile takeover'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I could start a comment saying “As a woman” or “As a feminist” that would polarize readers before stating a point.

  That’s one of prejudice though, not of communication form and written language. It’s polarizing for its content, not its form.

  I did find it interesting, and an interesting thought, when I first looked up what this thing was about. I still find it hard to read every time I see it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are AI companies suddenly opening up coffee shops?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We get so many free digital services from mega corps. If it weren’t for the physical costs involved, we’d already be getting physical goods like that.

  Imagine a possible future of Meta, Google, and Microsoft shops. Selling under cost to bind customers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like it wants you to ask about it and then wants to write fan fiction for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t check their name - Darwin - on Wikipedia, where do you check it? A random AI? When you’re on Facebook, their AI? When you’re on Reddit, their AI? How trustworthy are they? What does that mean for general user behavior in the short and long term?

  When you’re satisfied with a soccer match score from a headline, fair enough. Which headline do you refer to, though? Who provides it? Who ensures it is correct?

  Wikipedia is an established and good source for many things.

  The point is that people get their information elsewhere now. Where it may be incomplete, wrong, or maliciously misrepresenting or lying. Where discovering more related information is even further away. Instead of the next paragraph or a scroll or index nav list jump away, no hyperlink, no information.

  Personally, I regularly explore and verify sources.

  I doubt most visits to Wikipedia were as shallow as finding just one name or term.
