By the end of 2026, there will be ~5,400 data centers being built or fully operational.Each data center consumes as much energy as ~1,000,000 US households.That would mean AI data centers will consume as much energy as nearly 1,000,000,000+ people, considering each household = 2-3 people.Cost of electricity and hydro will cost 200-300% more by the end of 2026, since energy production in the US has remained stagnant for decades.Is this sustainable?

This is not a drill, it's finally confirmed that China has a working EUV prototype since early 2025, it's just undergoing testing and verification right now, expected to enter large scale production by 2028-2030. >In a high-security Shenzhen laboratory, Chinese scientists have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent: a prototype of a machine capable of producing the cutting-edge semiconductor chips that power artificial intelligence, smartphones and weapons central to Western military dominance, Reuters has learned. Completed in early 2025 and now undergoing testing, the prototype fills nearly an entire factory floor.>The availability of parts from older ASML machines on secondary markets has allowed China to build a domestic prototype, with the government setting a goal of producing working chips on the prototype by 2028, according to the two people.But those close to the project say a more realistic target is 2030, which is still years earlier than the decade that analysts believed it would take China to match the West on chips.>The breakthrough marks the culmination of a six-year government initiative to achieve semiconductor self-sufficiency, one of President Xi Jinping's highest priorities. While China's semiconductor goals have been public, the Shenzhen EUV project has been conducted in secret, according to the people.https://www.reuters.com/world/china/how-china-built-its-manhattan-project-rival-west-ai-chips-2025-12-17/
The US stole a lot of inventions from the Bongs and Krauts during the Industrial Revolution. Time is an oval circle.
>>107581648But you all voted for trump because they told you trannies were destroying America. Now the rich are plundering our tax dollars and China is about to destroy our “economy” (a bunch of rich guys hoarding everything at the top).
>>107581648>Yet another round of 'China says/built/claims'OP, don't be a faggot. Always remind yourself of the cardinal rule of all news even vaguely including Chinese or Russians. That rule is that nothing good has ever been built, concieved, constructed, thought of, done, invented or achieved in China and Russia. They're eternal shitholes full of failure, regret and pain and nothing else. No exceptions.

So what's the deal with everyone hating on Rust? The usual points people bring up are: >wokism >tranny language >made by jews >it's a cult Disregarding the aforementioned points, can you tell me actual reasons for why a safe(r) programming language like Rust shouldn't be adopted more widely?
>>107603858How about you educate yourself: https://odysee.com/@AlphaNerd:8/cloudflare-breaks-the-internet-(again):2 Agreeing with: >>107603880>>107614262
>>107603880In theory they could have heap allocated their flags buuuuut there’s a penalty for that in perf
Because if anyone mentions doing something in any other language a bunch of Rust programmers will show up and say "b-b-but it's not memory safe" and call every language "memory unsafe".Because systems programming requires being able to manipulate bits and bytes freely without the borrow checker complaining like one of the autistic fags that built it. Assuming you don't want to work at a low level and for some reason you still decide to use Rust, then it works okay until you need to do async work. Then you discover that lifetimes plus parallelism is a world of pain. Sorry but no thanks. The best use case for Rust is rewriting small command line utils which seems to be what it is most used for.Also troons.Also what the fuck is this captcha.
>>107617994> lifetimes plus parallelism is a world of painunironically a win for rustconcurrency is the bane of system problems and the more you’re able to slow programmers down to think that they should mutex or relinquish ownership, the better
>>107618040>Skill issueLol Go made concurrency easy
What do we think?At least now gaming GPUs should be cheaper.

That's not impressive because these ching chong gpu be weak as fuck

Game developers are cucks. They earn peanuts, need to know physics, math, hardware, and optimization techniques, and spend their time and effort just to make man-children happy.Pathetic.

>>107613705Wrong, he released Braid: Anniversary Edition. But JAI isn't getting released before Order of the Sinking Star, which will hopefully come out next year. And its engine is also getting released, open source.
>>107613538>Game developers are cucks. They earn peanutsYou are fundamentally right. The best possible move a programmer can make is to get out of the games industry.
>>107617234I was a game dev from the 90s to the 2010s. When I started the switch was just happening from pure asm to C. Most devs I worked with were hella smart.The transition to 3d games meant everyone needed a bit of linear algebra. Any physics programmer needed a bit of calculus. Game AI is basically state machines and graph search.Basically most math you needed could fit on a single page. Mostly what made game programming hard was using limited memory, understanding and using the hardware and writing very efficient code to run in a frame.By the time I quit none of that was true. You used an engine for all the 3d stuff and physics. It's really the same level as building web pages now. I moved to companies doing real software engineering and never looked back. However, if you do want to work in games the only way to make money if you can't make your way up the corporate ladder and become an executive, is to write your own game on the side. Not easy, not guaranteed, but at least you won't be poor and burn yourself for some shitty game company that is likely to shut down when you ship.

I work at a hospital there are so many items that cost like 15k that do most simplest tasks. For example this pill counter which uses computer vision of some sort to count pills costs literally 2k to 10k.Can any anons tell me how they're getting away with such outsourcing price gouging
>>107616147>Can any anons tell me how they're getting away with such outsourcing price gougingus insurance companies are by law only allowed to take out a small percentage of payouts as profit. the immediate and obvious effect of this is that the only way to increase the profitability of your insurance company is to increase medical costsreducing overhead, making treatments cheaper and more effective will directly reduce your profitability
>>107617401ps. this is what economists refer to as a "perverse incentive", a common effect of poorly thought through regulations
>>107616231>CT Scan>$7k>chest x-ray>$700FFS, I'm always baffled by exams and even OTC medicine prices in the USIn my country a full torso CT scan costs about $250 ~ $300. A chest x-ray, about 70 bucks. These are average private clinic prices for people who don't have any health insurance whatsoever and pay out of their own pocketBut hey, at least you pay half of our average prices for computer parts and video game consoles. God bless Amerigga :-DDD

Is digital piracy (i.e. the unauthorized copying of digital files and the removal of digital copyright protection systems) morally wrong?
>>107612145"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."In my case, I pirate because the Jews want me paying 85 dollars a month for streaming services, let's say, YT premium, Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV for good measure. I'm a single man who will only ever use those services very, very rarely. The only service I truly used was YT premium and the Jews decided to squeeze me: I was paying 8 a month, and they told me I need to pay 20. 20 a month for no benefit in service at all? When Ublock does the job just as well? Fuck that.
>>107612145no, because corpos would be fine from stealing from their you
>>107612787Jesus "pirated" bread and fish. "Piracy" is a misnomer.
>>107612924>and property is a way of managing scarcity.No. It is also timely availability, and memorabilia, and safety/security, and many other things. Thing is digital can be perfectly copied with no harm done to anyone.
>>107612418Then pirate away, Bible talks nothing about digital copyright.
