And it’s also insanely expensive to get the proper hardware to drive it at full resolution.

The shame being 8K (as 2x4K or even more) is awesome for VR headsets, but the only things capable of really driving them are stupidly expensive (thanks NVIDIA) or dual card setups (thanks Mobo producers for making that bad, and CPU manufacturers who insist consumers only need 20-24 PCIe lanes to artificially segment the market, sigh).

How about 5000 $200 books written by their own AI (preferably for free, cheapest printing in existence) ?

TLDW: cooling’s fine if you use starlink V2 size and power (which is not very suitable for AI ‘datacentre’ use) because it works already.

This is not about a few huge datacentres, it’s about a million small ones. There’s 99 problems with this (see Kessler syndrome !, radiation, …), cooling isn’t (much of) one.

Doesn’t matter anyway, it just has to be vaguely plausible for a stock IPO pump (and dump) scheme while sweeping all that xAI debt under the rug.

Not a few huge datacentres, a million small ones ~ starlink v2 size and power, mostly solved. There’s 99 problems with this (see Kessler syndrome, radiation, …), cooling isn’t (much of) one.

Why the fuck

did they ever ?

(trust Zuck, “dumb fucks”)

Yup, my comment wasn’t about your good math, it was about my low expectations of the source :)

Assuming cnbc clickbait headlines can math of course. Bold assumption.

Wake me when there’s a slider.

Lengthwise, nokia n900 style, with a smaller screen (actually this is 4", that’s one box ticked, prefer 5" tho), and a bigger battery, and an open OS, and sd card expansion, basically an anti-todays-phone I guess…

The chips are made in Taiwan (TSMC), this is likely for chip designers, (and marketers and executives and sundry other hangers on of little worth), water is irrelevant. Evil on the other hand…

Getting Meta’s walled garden fingers out of the VR pie can only be a good thing, perhaps long term, but given Steam Frame incoming, probably not.

Not to worry, plenty of room for two, remind 'em to cross-post though.

Check out soulseek, next gen napster with FLAC…nicotine is a good client (use a VPN obvs)

amount of gas in an AC system is insignificant compared to the CO2 generated just making the AC system in the first place.

Let alone running the damn thing (on fossil fuel electricity).

Ye canna change the laws of physics, Captin.

Also Titanium is a bitch to extract if I recall correctly, hence the price. Still, options are good.

How do you separate it?

Fractional distillation of liquid air I believe (like separating petrol and diesel).

Credit card in your phone case, use your banks’ website, 95+% of people right there.

You’re not wrong, but when/if (joyously, apparently, often it’s more profitable to destroy things for the tax break than to sell them) a significant surplus appears, adapters or new motherboards will appear fairly soon. Even things like H200s can probably be made into co-processors (hopefully running at a sane wattage for home users), as u/tal says there’s already ways to integrate into the linux kernel as (very fast) RAM, I doubt the compute will be left on the table for long.

H200 PCIe5 x 16 card anyone?

historical context Luddite

means the actual Luddite movement, not luddite the word as used today, there’s a bit more nuance there. Go on, read the wiki…

A historical context Luddite would probably be destroying datacentres presently, we might have a thing or two to learn from them.

If you take a broader view of enshittification (than Doctorows’ original formulation, good as it is), as has been happening to the word, you can apply deshittification to things like right to repair, inter-operability, repeal of reverse engineering felonization, even straight up open source. I actually think it could be a useful umbrella term.
