No way it is as cheap as a q3. All valve have said is that they are aiming for < the price of a valve index full kit. uploadvr.com/valve-steam-frame-hands-on-impressio…
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
They don’t care about making profit by selling a product or a service, it’s all a speculative bet. They think if they “simply” make AGI they will win all the economy forever.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
Everyone can see it coming, but they believe the AI companies’ hype that the AGI breakthrough will be here “soon”. Which if actually true, might be worth the bet.
For my money they either hit AGI and then we all die, or there is a crash before that. Yay.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
It’s only pervasive because the AI companies are losing money on every generated token while burning investor money to keep the lights on. If people had to pay for what it really costs they’d be using it a lot less.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
And even if they solve some problems with AI and make them smarter, they still have to solve the “actually making a profit” problem to justify these share prices. LLMs already have some use at their current level, but certainly not for the price they’d need to charge to break even, let alone actually making a profit. If they double the smarts but double the training and/or inference cost, they’ll still end up in the same place.
- Comment on The Value of NVIDIA Now Exceeds an Unprecedented 16% of U.S. GDP 1 week ago:
As I already said, it’s impossible to time it and you’d be an idiot to try. There could be three more years of bubble first in which case shorting on margin would be ruinous. “Markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you and I can remain solvent” yada yada.
- Comment on The Value of NVIDIA Now Exceeds an Unprecedented 16% of U.S. GDP 2 weeks ago:
I can say that nvidia is way overvalued and that it’s share price is going to go down without saying that we won’t need powerful chips.
- Comment on The Value of NVIDIA Now Exceeds an Unprecedented 16% of U.S. GDP 2 weeks ago:
I have similar concerns, comparing gdp to valuation seems nonsensical. But at the same time the valuation is still ludicrous. Nvidia designs chips, TSMC makes them, datacenters buy them, datacenters sell the compute to AI vendors like openai who sell services to customers for a price that doesn’t cover even a fraction their costs, let alone being profitable.
In my book, either two things will happen. Before the money runs out, the AI companies will hit their stated goal of AGI, but without doing any of the safety work, and then everybody dies. The money running out and GFC 2.0 is the “good” ending. If I was even remotely confident in my ability to guess the timing of how it would all play out I’d be shorting up to my eyeballs.
- Comment on Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you? 2 weeks ago:
Btrfs used to be easier to install because it is part of the kernel while zfs required shenanigans, though I think that has changed now.
Btrfs also just works with whatever drives of mismatched sizes you throw at it and adding more later is easy. This used to be impossible with zfs pools but I think is a feature now?
- Comment on Help with home server plan 3 weeks ago:
The extra storage might be cheaper to come by than h265 hardware (or the cpu grunt to live transcode on the cpu). Depends how much you want to hoard I guess.
Yes you need at least 2 hard drives. You can put video you don’t care about on a single drive, but backups etc should be on a redundant disk array (e.g. btrfs, zfs, other options). And an offsite backup while you are at it.
I have 8gb ram with immich, jellyfin, home assistant, prometheus, grafana and a few other things running, but it is constantly butting up against the ram limit. If you want to add nextcloud etc to the mix then you’ll definitely need more. As it is I had to turn off some services I used to run and I’m looking at upgrading the ram.
I use debian, it’s fine.

I downloaded the entirety of wikipedia as of 2024 to use as a reference for “truth” in the post-slop world. Maybe I should grab the 2022 version as well just in case…
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 5 months ago:
In the case of KSP, mod authors themselves submit Pull Requests to update the index when they release a new mod or a new version of it.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 5 months ago:
A new website will suffer the same fate eventually. The best solution I’ve seen is CKAN for kerbal space program mods. Each mod just hosts its own releases for free on github or wherever they like, and the whole mod index is just another github repo.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 5 months ago:
It’s possible I misremembered and got the apk from their website or github. Doesn’t change anything though.
I just went back though my emails, I got a reply email from their CTO promising to look into it and they would get back to me, but they never did.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 5 months ago:
Dark Souls has a good tutorial because it lets you skip it? That’s your bar for a good tutorial?
Souls games are terrible at even explaining what the buttons do. Every blind lets play I’ve seen it is like 30 minutes before the player even discovers they have estus or what it is for.

If you just have to talk from many devices to the one server sure, but Tailscale sure makes it easy for many to many. Also if a direct connection is impossible (e.g. firewall of china, CGNAT etc) tailscale puts a relay server in the middle for you.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 5 months ago:
I can’t. I tried it first and installed it on my phone from f-droid. After opening it up, it connected to an already existing network with other people’s old machines from years ago on it. I was horrified.
So then I tried to delete my whole account and couldn’t due to an error. I sent them an email about it and they took like two weeks to respond.

I was a bit cheesed too, but it’s been umpteen billion years since then and you can grab l4d2 for about $2. It’s time to let go.

- Comment on Plex/Jellyfin - YouTube content 6 months ago:
Punchflat is good, but i’ts a bit of a cpu and ram hog when indexing. I had to disable it because it kept bringing the server to it’s knees, but if you have more ram headroom you’ll prob be fine.
- Comment on Games suitable for a livestreaming relay event? 7 months ago:
There is no list. Nethackathon is for nethack. I’m asking for other suggestions which might work for their own, completely independent events.
Personally I can’t imagine a story based game being fun for this kind of event.
- Comment on Games suitable for a livestreaming relay event? 7 months ago:
Scheduling availability for people is way easier with set times, 2 hours each, rather than tying it into game progression.
You can’t really “lose” in elden ring, it’s just a steady slog towards the end, so it might be less interesting. All of our highlight reels are full of permadeaths and mishaps, “winning” barely even makes the cut. Terraria in hardcore mode could be interesting though.

- Comment on The Talos Principle: Reawakened launches in April with a demo live 8 months ago:
The original was done in their in-house engine and was one of if not the very first commercial game using vulkan. It had a native linux version, hell, even the VR version supported linux natively.
This remake is UE5, windows only, and presumably directx only. It makes me sad.

An announcement of an announcement of a game. Perhaps I shouldn’t have written this comment, instead I should have made an announcement that in 20 days I will announce the date at which I will write a comment in response to this announcement of an announcement.
