The former CTO of a large MSP software company once told me on a call the reason their product had so many features removed with price increases was "you can't maintain a plane while it's in the air"

The immediate response was "We don't, your updates bring the on prem RMM down for hours at a time, the plane is grounded for maintenence regularly"


You're comparing scammers to incompetence

When did apple stop charging more for their memory upgrades then gold by the ounce costs?


They didn't, but their price increases haven't kept pace with general memory price increases (yet) so currently their pricing seems reasonable.


I'm with Torvalds here, fuck you Nvidia.



What does "Fully autonomous" mean? If someone presses a single button to authorize an autonomous drone to enter a theatre and conduct autonomous strikes for 4 hours without any further approval is it truely "fully autonomous?"


Yes. A munition that hangs around waiting for targets and decides whether it should attack without checking with a human. That’s a fully autonomous weapon.


No. The moment there is a human involved, it is obviously not fully autonomous


Can you provide your definition of an autonomous weapon? It feels at the moment you are taking the absolute extreme position of only “autonomous” if a human was never involved. By that definition a human deciding to build an autonomous weapon automatically makes the weapon not autonomous…


Unlike tiktok?

I love it but where do you find that NVMe SSD for less than the price of an h100 fan let alone the memory


NVMe SSD prices had being gone down in price for a while, and the spikes are actually a lot more recent than you might think. From double checking my Amazon history, I bought my wife a 2 TB NVMe SSD for $160 back in November; it's now listed at three times that. I imagine that a lot of people just have them already from the past few years.


The annoying thing is a PhD level understanding does not get you jobs.


I don't have a PhD, but "you're overqualified" is something I've heard my PhD having friends said to them.
