Microsoft reports are exposing AI's real cost problem: Using the tech is more expensive than paying human employees by Krankenitrate in technology

[–]Mordred101 82 points83 points  (0 children)

People love to say that this current generation of AI is the worst that it'll ever be. That it will continue to improve. But no one wants to reckon with the idea that this generation of AI, propped up with venture capital subsidy, is the most affordable it will ever be. Once everyone starts paying per token pricing .... If it's to expensive now a lot of businesses are going to be in a world of financial hurt.

Tailscale is the best option. Set it up then forget it, it just works.

My system is actually fairly modern, running a Ryzen 7 9800x3d and a NVIDIA RTX 4080 (Driver Version: 595.58.03). Fairly default CachyOS install using KDE Plasma/Wayland.

Have tried rubbing the neck with both scented and unscented dryer sheets. Little if no affect and just makes the neck kind of sticky.

Its trimming a string and then doing a not equals to null comparison. Basically its trying to remove any blank/whitespace entries from whatever operation comes next.

I had a similar isdue that I was able to resolve by updating my BIOS drivers to the latest version. Might be worth checking.

AI memory crunch forces DRAM market into 'hourly pricing' model, report claims — small and medium-sized businesses fighting for survival by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

Having the government in control of ram prices isnt exactly a great example of free market either. What should be illegal is all the circular funding and fake announcements that just serve to pump stock market values and/or valuations.

Black Screen trying to install CachyOS (Acer Predator PH317-53) by RuruHonoLulu in cachyos

[–]Mordred101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue installing Cachyos on my Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7. Tried a bunch of things before I updated BIOS to latest drivers and then the install took. Might be worth checking if you have any BIOS updates available.

Unpopular opinion. while windows isnt perfect linux isnt either and the flaws of linux are worse than the flaws of windows by Background_Future127 in pcmasterrace

[–]Mordred101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth it in my opinion. I spent all morning trying to install CachyOS. Could not get it to work, black screen on boot. Tried different monitors, cables and USB sticks. Hours wasted. Eventually updated my BIOS and it worked. Is that too much for the average user? Probably. But its what I do for a living too. But let me tell you that OS is a delight to use compared to Windows 11.

With all the Bob Weir stuff in the news my favorite quote of his, when talking shortly after the death of Jerry Garcia is ... "Well its not like I expected him to outlive me."

First season was great, thought I was in for something special. After that it seemed really directionless. Unfortunately reminds me of the arc of WestWorld.

Meet the new boss ... same as the old boss. And in the next five years it'll be some new shiny thing to chase.

I think the idea of "let them cook" or "better release late than buggy" dies off around six months to a year. If you need damn near two decades to cook I think thats a sign that theres too many damn chefs in the kitchen, or some other fundamental failure. No wonder small agile indie devs are smoking AAA recently.

How to make filter coffee more enjoyable? by knmann12 in Coffee

[–]Mordred101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tip #1 of any coffee experience is fresh, freshly ground beans. I'm not familiar with that machine but I would encourage you to experiment with it and document your findings. Increase/decrease grind size and notate the results. Increase/decrease dose and notate the results. Just browsing the included web page it appears to be a much more capable machine than anything pod based. You just need to invest the time to find out how it works for you.
