  • I’m guessing because China isn’t producing the type of RAM they want. Put it this way, when the AI bubble bursts we aren’t going to have a load of RAM and GPUs suddenly available, because the AI data centre versions aren’t in a format that’s useful in consumer tech, or even all the data centre systems. They are optimised towards AI workloads and don’t really work in normal computer systems. Equally that means that if the RAM that’s been produced isn’t in this AI workload optimised format, then the data centres can’t use it.

    The crime isn’t that the AI data centres were using a lot of the RAM, it was that the manufacturers were letting them by producing all their RAM in the required format.



  • There is a certain kind of MBA business idiot that thinks that the key to increased revenue is increased pricing. They look at something like Netflix raising prices and keeping enough users around to make more money than they did before l, and they think that will work for them. Not realising that whenever a company raises its prices it forces their customers to do a cost benefit analysis, so you better be damn sure you’re offering a compelling product, preferably with nothing in the way of competition.

    Playing the Plex premium or whatever it’s called is neither particularly beneficial nor without competition. Jellyfin exists.






  • I would love to see an AI trying to my job. It’s useless at almost every aspect except for seeming like it knows what it’s talking about.

    So the higher ups who never know anything will listen to it, implemented it’s dumb suggestions that are either unworkable or actually illegal and will burn the company to the ground. It would be hilarious if it weren’t for the fact that I would be out of a job.

    They want a new financial management solution (currently they’re using some ancient thing on SAP) they’ve looked at a few solutions but they don’t like any of them because they all cost a lot of money since they all go with the subscription model these days rather than just letting you buy the software in one big payment. They have actually considered letting an AI right some software for them. Should be fun.
