It also runs quite well on a 24GB MacBook, which is nowadays more or less the base configuration unless you go out of your way to buy a suffixless-CPU MacBook Pro.
>but there's no physical limit preventing them from being discovered, and the disruption when someone invents a new algorithm can be nearly immediate.
The rise of the net is Jevons paradox fulfilled. The orders of magnitude less bandwidth needed per cat video drove much more than that in overall growth in demand for said videos. During the dotcom bubble's collapse, bandwidth use kept going up.
Even if there is a near-term bear case for NVDA (dotcom bubble/bust), history indicates a bull case for the sector overall and related investments such as utilities (the entire history of the tech sector from 1995 to today).
I hadn't thought about the DeepSeek angle. But yes, I would say that in general, any data coming out of China ought to be viewed with the assumption that it has been massaged, especially since China itself probably does not know the truth!
>"We do not know the true number of China’s real growth figure", Gao Shanwen, chief economist at SDIC Securities and adviser to the government, said at a Peterson Institute event on 12 December 2024. He thought that the economy had grown by about 2% annually, compared to the official 5% figure. Gao expected that the economy would grow by 3–4% annually over the next several years "but we know the official number will always be around 5%". His words reportedly caused the government to ban Gao from speaking publicly. While he did not lose his job, the Securities Association of China ordered brokerages and investment firms to make sure that their economists "play a positive role"; those that do not obey may be fired. In January 2025, Xi aide Cao Qi ordered propaganda officials to block negative economic news.
>except that US economy relies heavily of on cheap labor of illegal immigrants who pay more in taxes than most americans
By this logic the US ought to import anyone anywhere to enter and work in the US, in endless numbers, without limit, surely causing the US tax revenue to zoom to the sky. Congratulations on inventing the infinite money machine.
(The first slaveholders, however many thousands of years ago, also thought that they had invented an infinite resource-production method.)
if you did not get the memo people currently running the show in america think that white people are retarted and we need immigrants to come to fill all these positions we can’t find qualified americans (cause you know, we are all retarded). so you are on the right track whats about to be happening… few planes will take off carrying illegal immigrants and you’ll see social media posts about how they are keeping promises (albeit 1% maybe of the promises) while at the same time bringing in 100’s of thousands immigrants to replace you :)
My "favorite" bit of misinformation about the Capitol riot (out of so, so many) is about Donald Trump Jr. For many, many months prosecutors and the media talked about him as being an unindicted co-conspirator, and how that that Nixonesque adjective would/should surely be adjusted any day now. Then ... it turns out that Jr. repeatedly begged his father (via messages to Mark Meadows) to do whatever he could to stop the rioting.
>For me it's watching a gay man grovel at the feet of one of the most anti-LGBT politicians
Besides what ImJamal said, as a wealthy playboy man-about-town hanging out at Studio 54 in the '70s and '80s, I guarantee Trump has known and been friends with more gays than 95% of Americans. Certainly there has been no shortage of gay people among his top-level appointees in either his first or second administrations.

No it wasn't. IANA is hosting example.com and paying for the traffic.
example.com is a writing convention to provide safe examples in documentation. The reason example.com exists, is to make sure documentation writers can use a domain, make it obvious it is an example, and make sure nothing bad comes up with a user happens to click it.
The fact that example.com is a domain with a DNS record is irrelevant to its intended use. IANA is doing the internet a favor by preventing confusion, and it is rude to send them a bunch of traffic.
> While incidental traffic for incorrectly configured applications is expected, please do not design applications that require the example domains to have operating HTTP service.
Oh, good grief. Amazing how people find ways of squeezing Orange Man Bad into anything and everything.
PS - I am not going to stay awake at night worrying that ICE will be deporting hordes of illegal aliens working at US AI companies.
