Every single year AI companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars making barely any revenue in return.When will AI turn a profit?How do you lose $143B of tax payers' dollars in just a couple of years?
>>107543848>How Does AI Make Money?Government subsidies and VC money.
>>107543848what is this retard math? is this bait?their spending includes new infrastructure, they're literally building like $200bn dollars of new servers right now. this isnt their cost to operate by any metric. so if they can actually get 300bn in revenue before all the servers are online, theyre gonna have no issues getting more money and convincing investors that 1t in revenue is possible
>>107552060yeah that's already how it workseven if you pay for the highest commerical tier, there are still token limits. and vibe coding makes it really easy to hit the daily cap early
>>107543848>>107543919>>107543930AI's value proposition is the same as any type of automation that has come before it: the reduction of necessary labor time in production. It has shown the capability to cut into what was long considered an impenetrable segment of the labor market, knowledge workers, a prospect that is very exciting for people that spend a lot of money on knowledge workers. This is why investors are clamoring over it.Some knowledge work is required for generating entertainment, this only represents a small segment of the total draw, and it's understandable why you think there's a mismatch between investment and potential if you don't realize this.
>How Does AI Make Money?By using it as an excuse to cut BS jobs and fire women in useless positions without being politically incorrect""AI"" as in LLMs aren't remotely even capable of replacing workers but it sure has contributed into atleast a trillion of revenue increase for corporations thanks to cost cutting

>In recent years, technological development of nuclear fusion power generation, also known as the "energy of dreams," has been accelerating both domestically and internationally.>In Japan, the industry is excited by the arrival of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who has been promoting the development.

>>107552351That's not what I asked. I asked whether they're ahead of the world (like you claimed Japan is), not whether they're good at it.
It's been 15 years and Japan still hasn't been able to get back to the nuclear power generation levels before the 2011 earthquake. But, sure, magic will happen in 2030.

>>107551736Agreed that %industrial exports is not a great metric. The US has a high agriculture export because it has lots of fertile land, Japan and Korea do not. However, Japan still is a leader in advanced manufacturing. There are indexes that track this, but a basic knowledge of high tech supply chains would already tell you this.

If Buying isnt owning, pirating aint stealing
>>107553460>JewtorrentWhat are you retarded or smth?
>>107553472Thats LMDE not Mint per se
>>107553460>If Buying isnt owning, pirating aint stealingPirating is just copying, not stealing. Also, you don't even buy most digital products, you license them. But if your licensed product doesn't have DRM you can actually copy it and "own" it (for personal use only, legally).Never liked the phrase you use because it doesn't make sense.
>>107553739It's because people don't think about it much, so the phrase just sounds good. Another problem with it is that technically the word "piracy" IS synonymous with stealing. If you use that word you're already accidentally accepting the false premise that copying is "stealing".

What is the definitive game controller?
>>107534595that dpad is amazing
>>107553942The contactless sensors will never wear down, so it's impossible to experience what's traditionally considered drift with them. It's possible for the centering mechanism to wear down, so in theory the stick may get loose and have 10-20% centering error after a point.My experience thus far has been they'll last thousands of hours and something else will break on the controller before the sticks ever have an issue.
>>107525250I was lucky enough to be at the right place and right time to acquire an official stadia controller with the official bluetooth enabled firmware for use as a general controller through bluetooth. I have two, I don't use the bluetooth option often because it was experimental and buggy. It's a primitive controller even by its time but it's a shame Google shut down stadia, I liked their service

I know I'm super late to the party but I want to confess I had to look at someone else's answer for the first time in Day 10 Part 2.I'm literally ngmi.
>>107553778eric went in with no lube after 7-8 easy days
>>107553778Yeah that's a minor sin. Almost everyone in the threads used z3, which most had either just learned of or had used in a previous year's AoC. As long as you solved part 1 on your own, you're forgiven.
>>107554063This retard is still seething about z3, my god. Do you idiots not study optimization in any of your combinatorial algorithms or applied mathematics courses? Just because you found out about z3 5 minutes ago, you think everyone else is in the same boat. And sin is sin. If you looked at the thread before completing, you were filtered. You may have learned something, but you're filtered.
>>107552828I have to participate to know that it's bad in the first place Anon. I want to participate because Advent of Code was fun in the past, and I can't know if I will like a year or not unless I play. Advent of Code has had its ups and downs in the past, but this time it's clear that Eric has run out of steam. I was disappointed by the announcement of only 12 days, but I'm more disappointed the quality hasn't improved to match it. This year felt very uninspired, and even if 2024 wasn't THE best year, it would've been a good ending for Advent of Code to finish on a big ten-year celebration. Instead, what looks like what will happen is we will get a couple more twelve day years with lackluster puzzles and then it'll suddenly stop. It's like Eric is in fact the one who feels under obligation to keep making Advent of Code even if he doesn't want to anymore, which is sad to see.

>>107527879You used to be able to sniff for MAC addresses and use authenticated addresses to get free Internet without worrying about the hour limit. I had about 500 MAC addresses that I'd pick from until they switched off of that system.
>>107553571So I could possibly get up to my 1Gbit current speed? Potentially.
>>107553610Yeah, it is not impossible to end up with that. Likely it will be less because that's a lot of channels and might put you to DOCSIS3.0+ territory, when that happens they tend to have BPI+ activated and for that you need to get pretty much everything right in your config. It is doable but don't be disappointed if you don't end up with 1Gbit.

Be honest anon, do you actually use the Home Row for touch typing how it was caught in school? Or do you just kind of get a feel for your keyboard and get good at correcting typos really fast like me? Do you think learning to Touch Type properly is worth it?
>>107553985I don't think about it at all, it's just muscle memory.That's how we were taught typing in school in early 2000s
>>107553740this. I'm top 1% wpm typers and it's purely because when I was younger playing MMOs I'd type everything I needed to in the ~1.5s between spell casts
>>107553877Do you have baby hands or something? My first three fingers on both hands covers all letters and numbers. The pinky only comes into play when hitting modifiers or some occasional punctuation.
>>107553711i have a bit of a gamer handi don't use my left pinky for any typing, just for all the big special keys on the leftand my right ring and pinky do basically nothing
>>107554039Switched to Colemak-DH 3 years ago and love it. However, I have forgotten how to type properly on QWERTY. Now on the rare occasion I have to use someone else's computer I look like an old person who can't type properly. I still use QWERTY on my phone.
