Love Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic settings; Fan of the games of the defunct Arkane Studios. Listening to (Power-, Speed-, Thrash-)Metal, Gothic, Deathrock, EBM, Vaporwave, Lo-Fi; Classic and Musicals are fine too. Can’t stand Hip-Hop.

Owned by two cats, recently divorced, blessed with a personality disorder (AVPD) - pensioned (even the state has the opinion I’m a total wreck lol). This causes me to be unable to keep up personal connections and makes me ghost literally everyone, so if it happens to you, sorry in advance.

Chronically online.

Pro GenAI, but Anti-GenAI-Corpos; this technology should be available to everyone, which would only be fair since we all contributed to it. Datasets and Models should be under the jurisdiction of UNESCO, since they are literally the distilled cultural output of humanity.

  • That means they have bought out the wavers - with a specific allocation for HBM/DDR/LPDDR/NAND as they need it. they know what percentages of what they need to reach the balance they use in their racks, and that will be what was ordered in detail.

    The DDR5 can be used in common PCs, but it’s a different story with LPDDR. I have heard of an adapter to make LPDDR useable in common PCs, while i haven’t seen anything like that for HBM - and i wouldn’t bet on such an teck being available for the consumer market amytime soon, the architecture is quite different.




  • I have to agree, and want to add to you last paragraph.

    The “influencers” are only able to spread their bullshit because we left young men behind somewhere 20 years ago in feminism. I agree that feminism should be primarily about women, but most of feminism did never think about what role young men should strive towards when patriarchism is dismantled. We now have a situation where feminism was able to improve the situation of women somewhat, but it also created a lot of uncertainty in young men who feel that they now have no place in a society that often is prejudicial against them because it is expected that they behave just as bad as the previous generations. This opens up an opportunity for the worst of humanity, coming from the right wing - they are filling their minds with misogynist and anti-LGBT ideas to give them an identity that they are missing because the previous push against patriarchism offered no alternative to them.

    The next wave of feminism should take that as a lesson: you can’t just dismantle a system without offering the participants of that system a worthwhile position in the new system, or they will refuse your system - often violently.



  • I am pretty sure he meant he meant what you said. He afterwards “apologized”:

    He said:" Family “is no business and no job, where you leave the office after your work is done. The payment is not to be measured in money, but in trust, family cohesion and uncountable shared moments”. He knows that “how much this assignment takes from you”, but family "still isn’t a business case“

    I say fuck him. I say the time used for rearing children should be financially compensated, since it is work that makes sure that the next generation become a valuable member of society. This time should also be valued when calculating pensions - Austria had it’s “equal pension day” on 9th of August. Women in Austria work on average 96 hours per week for unpaid children care work, which would more than make up for that difference if acknowledged.

    This cuts deeper than just “care work isn’t work”. It also devalues men who are willing to put in the work and hours to care for children together with their partner. This mindset makes it harder for men to refuse to work their ass off and never seeing their family.

    I am a man. Fuck everyone who thinks like him. People like him shouldn’t be “a business case”, they should be sitting in a gutter dependent on the goodwill of random people - just as he expects from people who offer valueable time and work towards their children.



  • I’ve never heard of uncut wavers hitting storage or the market. These things are made to be used for whatever is needed at the moment. If you hear this news regarding “Ram cap sold out”, it means all available wavers they expect to be produced for that year have been allocated to whoever paid for them. If 50% of the wavers go into HBM, 30% into DDR including LPDDR and 20% go into NAND storage (i do not have the exact numbers, but i know that HBM needs around 3x the amount of silicon compared to DDR), then you are done selling your capacity - whatever happens afterwards does not make DDR5 appear magically on the market.

    Only thing that could change that would be that the AI bubble crashes before 2027, then the allocation numbers will be changed.





  • HBM and Vera Rubin are not useful for PC Gaming, at least not for current architectures. Main issue is that DDR5 production simply got cut to make more HBM. But there will be a huge amount of LPDDR, NVME / SSD drives and refurbished Hard Drives available, and hardware for running inference at home for pretty powerful models will become cheap as fuck, liberating us all from the hyperscalers; the open weights models from china are available for everyone.

    At least i pray it will be this way.

    Funny thing: I overcame my fear of spiders long ago by giving them names and talking to them while bringing them outside when they mistakenly took residence in my apartment; worked for my ex too who feared spiders a lot more than i did.

    It’s a big mental difference between seeing a spider without context or seeing Reginald, Ruby, or Simone.






  • Non-technical people should not have a say in security at all. Just as the opinions of Joe Shmoe should be disregarded in sectors like public health, science, law and politics. We have to start to purge the people knowing shit in all important areas. Crap like a shitstorm on X (aka nazi central) or something should be used to target the participants in those campaigns to mark them as unreliable bums.

    Edit: more extreme people than me might propose a system that is close to the Black Mirror episode “Hated in the Nation”, but not with killing the fuckers participating, but by taking away their talking rights on online platforms. Humanity would be better off this way.
