They were first to market with a decent GPGPU toolkit (CUDA) which built them a pretty sizeable userbase.

Then when competitors caught up, they made it as hard as possible to transition away from their ecosystem.

Like Apple, but worse.

I guess they learned from their Gaming heyday that not controlling the abstraction layer (eg OpenGL, DirectX, etc) means they can’t do lock in.

While suing everyone else that makes shovel handles that work with your shovel heads.

Problem then is, You Still gotta buy a truck to buy and haul your 2nd motorcycle, your 3rd motorcycle, your dirt bike, and your track bike.

Alternate headline:

Companies accept money for a thing that will happen anyway, and will be unable to prove if they say no.

GenAi is unfortunately here, and the technocracy wants you to want it so they can farm you for more and more intimate data to leverage and enforce their technocracy. And the only way they’re going to do it is by keeping the press positive, and feed it more and more data in the hopes it fixes things.

I was expecting some sort of “Ai discovers new bug in 30 year old software”… cool I’m excited.

Then they were talking about how the bug was persistent, and I’m more intrigued “is the bug some weird emergent behaviour corrupting state somewhere?”

Nope, just another example of a shit in shit out data model.

I thought everyone decided “jfgi” in online discourse was a toxic years ago. It’s the same attitude as :

chemtrails make you sick!

How so?

go do your own research

If you’re going report on something, provide a little more information than just “no”. It’s more helpful, better for the community, and in 5 years time when the facts are different, there’ll still be a reference of what was factual in the past.

Let’s not get carried away.

Hips that make a Pixar mom jealous.

Come April, NZ will be charging EVs road user charges using the same price-per-kilometre mechanism diesel (diesel not have a fuel levy) vehicles use.

You can (or at least could) put Bravia TVs into “pro mode” and turn off all the shit.

I suspect it’s a cost/capability/requirements thing.

The larger the corporation, the more likely they’re going to have SSO as a minimum requirement. The more inflexible your customers are, the more you can charge.

“Android auto for phone screens” is another product they killed: https://www.androidpolice.com/google-kills-android-auto-for-phone-screens/

Google-Wave your Google-Pay-Meet device over the Google-Reader and we’ll Google-Optimize your purchase so you can get back to Google-Hangouting with your friends faster than you can say “watch Google Play Movies & TV on Android Auto for phone screens”

Because the network is old and the trains don’t have room for non folding bikes.

A normal bicycle is going to block entrances and exits to carriages, and in the case of an emergency that could be fatal.

You can get this done on AliExpress

I think Something will have to change quite significantly.

Search engines give heavy weighting to uniqueness of content. And with Lemmy content being replicated across the fediverse that doesn’t exactly happen.

And I’m not sure you can set a canonical URL that’s off site. And then, if it does and that site goes down, you “lose” the content.

Hey I was going to make something like this myself. Hah! Personal projects. As if they go anywhere.

I’m installing this tonight.

If people generally atent buying, there’s still People that need to buy (businesses, oems, etc)

They’re just doing the ol covid ratchet. Tightening the thumbscrews on the people who can’t opt out.

Doesn’t affect their bottom line much if nobody’s choosing to buy.

Is this just the cost per raw Watt produced?

Is it a fair comparison vs conventional fuel-based power (coal/nuclear)?

Ie: if you wanted to build a plant capable of producing continuously, 24 hours a day, you would need some multiple of solar panels to produce an excess during daylight, and storage.

Not that drastic drops in solar costs aren’t bad, just what would the cost-per-watt be if you had to power an average city on just solar for a year?
