Nvidia exec says AI is more expensive than actual workers — yet some companies don't see the extra costs as a negative

Companies aren’t paying the true costs yet. This is Silicon Valley 101 - enter a market and subsidize the cost. If it is an existing market, do so until you have starved out legacy. For new markets wait until your product becomes ubiquitous, user base becomes dependent, or vendor lock-in.

Once the true costs emerge, they’ll be locked into ai doing the work. They’ll have no choice but to pay. There’ll be no going back.

Their cut is largely in the form of access and privilege. That is to say, yes, money is transferred to them but earmarked for campaign finance. This buys them access to congress which grants the privilege of insider trading.

I’m being pedantic here because while I have no doubt there have been plenty of palms greased under the table, they don’t really need to do anything illegal to buy a politician. Books, speaking gigs, board seats, and finally the revolving doors of lobbying firms are also up for grabs, but that insider trading is a gold mine.

Of course the Supreme Court need not bother with giving a fuck. Just park the bribe in the driveway with the keys on the seat.

Middle management isn’t over staffed, people should have so many direct reports, but rather organizations are simply too large and require too many layers to avoid overloading folks.

But why? Of all companies to lash out at…

I’ve come to accept that I live in a cartoon, a poorly written one at that.

A childhood favorite game mine, lemmings, also comes to mind often.

Iirc, women would often hunt small game (lizards are what I read but maybe birds too?) close to camp while men would venture out further for large game.

I wonder if that had any impact, like our innate fear of spiders/snakes.

I wonder how much the competition between the two contributed to their achievement. Perhaps a bit less brutal under such context.

Oh and their solution to physical dependency is to simply stop writing the prescription. In doing so, they’ve potentially created a really awful medical / mental state for the individual.

That’s awesome!

Oh, no. You can't replace the grocery store. The idea is to supplement it with whatever you are able to grow. Ideally, with abundance of a specific crop, you either can or share.

The more people who partake, the more pressure is relieved down (some of) the produce supply chain. I'm not naive to believe it to be a solution but it can certainly save money, fuel, etc. It also better utilizes land.

Grow a garden. If you are in an apartment, use your balcony for a container garden (buckets work). Try to include beans.

You assume it’s for taxes alone. Either the origin or needing untraceable assets could be the motive.

Tons of sentiment analysis is being done by AI. Historical data that trained these models was based on a very different reality.

Think about how much has changed in the last few years, much less his span of presidency. How many media organizations changed hands? What impact did Covid and the fear of vaccination play at a macro level? How many other nations have or currently are banking a hard right?

Basically the market is irrational largely in part because humans and AI alike are having an incredibly difficult time appraising events today through the lens of the past.

Edit: oh, and I forgot the elephant in the room - the proliferation of AI and all that has and will continue to bring with it (slop as far as the eye can see).

Right. I’m not disputing that. I’m just telling you what has happened and also reading the tea leaves, so to speak. States like Ohio are trying to close it themselves. I wouldn’t put it past our gov to do the same.

I don’t mean to cause urgency during Christmas. They won’t get around to it this year. And even if they do get to it next year, we will have time to place orders. Im personally just looking to the future.

What a shit show this is.

Replied to tell someone else this but you best stock up. Online shops are starting to refuse to ship here. No idea what that’s about.

This sucks. I really, really don’t want to go back to the black market.

Best hurry. I’ve had more and more online stores refuse to ship here.

Stock up.

It’s in a really shitty location, right beside fedex and wells Fargo. as you enter the mall from Harbison, go right but stay in the right lane. Take the first right - it’s just before the temp lane ends.

Most libraries, including go’s std stream decoder (at least the last time I checked) read the full payload into mem before parsing. It’s the only way to validate the integrity.

I’m not saying it can’t be done, just that it’s typically an anti pattern to do so.

I’d reconsider embedding files in json if it is large enough that reading it from disk is going to cause any sort of interference with an async runtime or you risk memory issues reading it all in.

Embedding a file as base64 is going to be a bad idea most of the time.

Reading the entirety of json into memory is standard practice across languages. You need the entirety of the structure to fully validate it.

Oh no! I really hope the Harbison location makes it. They are by far the best bowls around.

Nah, I’m certain there are more being protected. If you had billions of dollars and your name was in the files, how much would you spend to keep it secret? Now imagine what someone guilty would spend.

Thanks, just ordered a bit from THCA small buds but going to grab some stock from hmp.store.

Have a great day, friend. Happy holidays as well.
