I think the wafer is dominated by the Japanese. The Dutch company you are thinking of is ASML and they manufacture 90% of the precision machines that manufacture chips in the world.

It will take maybe two to three years before China could do that. The cheap Chinese RAM manufacturers are only starting their production.

I notice Grokipedia is getting put up more on search results even on duckduckgo.

.ml in a nutshell.

After reporting how much the Steam Machine costs, I could tell already. RAM manufacturers are in paradise right now!

I really won’t be playing any soulslike games in the foreseeable future until I am retired. I simply don’t have time to be playing hard games now I am a working adult. I used to play more hard games because of the satisfaction of beating a challenge, but if I only I have enough time. I play games to unwind nowadays.

I only used the free version of Mistral and it’s not as great as the free version of Claude, which is a shame because I want to support European AI but Mistral seems to be the only European alternative at the moment.

Because most people don’t care and even enjoy being manipulated. Mark Fuckerberg and other elites know this. But for people who do complain, Mark is like “Yeah but what are you going to do about it?”

I wonder if your friend can sleep only five hours and still function to the maximum. Apparently it is genetics. Napoleon and Thatcher could sleep less than 7 hours and could still think sharp and be fresh as a daisy.

I just don’t understand why people feel the need to share everything they’re doing constantly or how they get upset if you don’t have the energy to react to it all.

Dopamine hit.

They will be used in World War III.

He defrauded the wealthy that’s why he’s not getting away with it easily.

Well the red flags have always been there from the beginning but the people chose to look the other way, considering the genocide of Native Americans had been a policy since the beginning.

I don’t know what you are whining. I’m not even American, but Lemmy is American dominated whether you like it or not and there is nothing you and I can do about it no matter how much either of us whine. Go to your country’s community website if you don’t like it. That’s like complaining Nairaland is full of Nigerian posts.

You know the expression: when America sneezes, everyone catches the cold.

The American tech giants, which are tied to the government because of military and surveillance contracts, despise EU regulations. The US Department of Defense strategy already deemed Europe to be a bigger threat than China and Russia. The American tech companies are also lobbying the EU to loosen the digital privacy laws and regulations. So it helps to keep tab once in a while of American politics.

I have a news for you, this isn’t just American internal politics. Surveillance capitalism is happening across the world. There are those pushing for chat control in the EU and UK is starting to do the same and contracted Palantir to manage the NHS data.

Me: People still watch game reveals from big events?

For over twenty years, I stopped paying attention to big gaming announcements from big events like E3. I just learned the hard truth that it’s all marketing jazz and when the game is finally released, it is nothing like what was hyped up to be. I don’t even remember what was the game that disappointed me so hard to make me give up looking up game reveals.

I just let the finished product and reviews speak for themselves to influence me on whether or not I will play the game.

It reminds me of the room where Abstract Daddy is in Silent Hill 2.

Obligatory: if you know, you know.

A friend’s boss retired to become a children’s book writer.

Money–or lack thereof-- is what really hinders most of us to do what we want. I grew up admiring polymaths and I want to do whatever I want because I want to learn about the world. But it is in the past couple of years which I realised, that the polymaths I admired? They are rich while I’m not. Polymaths in the past were more common back then because they inherited lots of money from their parents as safety net, and don’t have to worry about specialising and finding a “secure job” but is soul sucking.
