All of those are basically front-ends for the National Weather Service and other mostly(?) public institutions that have actual weather satellites and generate the actual data.
I’m a fan of Windy because it lets you choose and compare/contrast forecast models. You can even compare which model has been more accurate for your location in particular.
Don’t know if it was you but someone pointed out a few months ago that the 7900 was the last 24GB card to be found for less than $1k and I grabbed one as an upgrade from a 3070. Running local models it’s less reliable than Claude at work, but not by much, and it was a good upgrade for gaming.
Before the return period was up it had gone from ~$900 to past $1.2k and I wasn’t eligible for a repair/replacement just a refund, the market is completely sideways.

For…40 years? Demand for older consumer CPUs has dropped to zero over a few years because the new ones are demonstrably more capable and basically the same price. That’s the whole idea behind Moore’s Law. There are niche applications where that hasn’t been true that were mostly filled by recycled hardware or single board computers. But in general people want the more capable device.
There’s a whole conversation to be had about software bloat that that chain enabled but planned obsolescence it ain’t.
They’re better predictors of what people think will happen.
That can correlate with what does happen, but they’re not the same thing. As much as Kalshi et al’s marketing would like to suggest otherwise. They’re not oracles or crystal balls.
IIRC, it’s mostly that mega-churches are taking over.
It’s the smaller (ostensibly) community focused ones that are dying.
Germany’s population is ~80 million. $10 million isn’t nothing, but that’s $0.125 per person. We also didn’t just, hand them a bag of cash and walk away whistling.
10 million dollars on the scale of Healthcare is… well about $0.30 per person in the US. Do I need a source to say we spend far more than that? The problem isn’t just how much we spend, it’s what we get for it, which is mostly rich Insurance companies.
I agree the passkey user experience needs work, but man do I enjoy it over the haphazard ‘passwordless’ website login that just sends you an email.
I get it, they’re just skipping an attack vector and basically relying only on ‘2FA’. But now I have to go to a different app/tab, copy a code, and return to the site instead of letting the password manager fill stuff in for me. Some, like kickstarter, let you still have a 2FA code enabled so you have to grab your code from whichever authenticator and go to your email. Really nice login experience out of nowhere one day. \s
Thankfully in the US we won’t get the choice because they’re not allowed to sell here to protect our domestic producers from competition so we can just give them more money the next time they need to be bailed out.
Most of the things I’ve seen basically say ‘no’.
There are commercial displays that don’t have spyware / connectivity, but they tend to have significantly lower refresh rates / HDR / etc. even if they are 4k. And they’re several times the price of consumer TVs, at least in part because they aren’t being subsidized by selling them at a loss to make money on ads.
Agreed.
I strongly remember a CompSci professor ~2005 being disgusted with auto-generated Java GUI. And yes it was clunky and more memory intensive than it could have been, but also, I really don’t care about how GridView is defined most of the time.
Bad code is bad code, touched by AI or not. For working code, a volunteer group spending resources to determine if it might have been touched by AI is at the very least an incredibly frustrating standard to try to meet. And very likely impossible to verify in any meaningful way.
Ebay or second hand shops are a pretty good entry point. You can get a decent camera and lens for ~$100-200.
Too expensive, too big, and too military were all arguments for computers, radio (/radar), and GPS to never have widespread adoption.
It’s a cool experiment/technology. Why so down?

RAM has not come from China, and China isn’t exporting much of it yet. Unless Canada and the EU and Japan and everyone else is also handing out tariffs on Taiwan, Korea, etc like the US is, their point was the price of RAM doesn’t have anything to do with tariffs.
The price of RAM is high globally because the AI companies have bought future-RAM with money the RAM producing companies gave them to build data centers that don’t exist yet.
The hyper green golf courses in Vegas are truly eye catching when you fly in as well.
Yes.
Which is why it’s bad that the only 3 companies with capacity currently are colluding.
If we can reduce the shockwave from sonic booms that could directly lead to more efficient plane engines. The main current impediment they have is the tips of the turbine blades can only get so close to the speed of sound before they explode from the forces they’re experiencing.
Which could have knock-on effects for anything involving an airfoil moving through a fluid. Helicopters, boats, wind turbines, hydro-power, etc.
Better understanding and control of the physics / materials science at the sound barrier would be very good news.
They’re publicly traded companies. Their investor meetings point out that HBM is not more profitable.
It is in theory more guaranteed profit because it’s a smaller number of bigger contracts. But that’s the gamble they’re making.
That’s the clip the person you replied to, is replying to. Carter’s demonstration.
