I see that it’s gold in color. He’s rather partial to that.

Hey, at least he got what Trump didn’t. He had sex with his daughters.

I think that you might be thinking of Lot rather than Noah.

Genesis 19:30–38:

Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”

That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab[a]; he is the father of the Moabites of today. The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi[b]; he is the father of the Ammonites[c] of today.

It looks like Noah had three sons, but if he had daughters, the Bible doesn’t say anything about them, much less any incest.

You’d think that large drones would be a lot more useful for smuggling via air than balloons.

I assume that the balloons can broadcast their position so that their cargo can be picked up wherever they land, but they aren’t controllable. Drones are.

4chan’s position is that they aren’t doing business in the UK, which is why they’re disregarding the UK regulator’s fines. The UK regulator might be able to block them in the UK if the UK rolls out a Great Firewall of the UK, say, a la China, but probably not get the US to enforce rulings against them. And, I’d add, such a Great British Firewall is going to have limited impact unless the Brits also ban VPNs in the UK that don’t also do such blocking internal to the VPN and additionally block external VPNs, a la Russia.

In the same way, lemmy.today is doing business in the EU.

Very unlikely, in the eyes of the US court system. They have no EU physical presence, and aren’t advertising targeting EU people.

Facebook

Yeah, now they might be affected, but they’re in the EU.

EDIT: For context, last year, this happened:

Russia fines Google more than the world’s entire GDP

Russian courts can hand down whatever rulings they want, but they don’t really have an effect elsewhere unless other legal systems view them as having jurisdiction.

Iran has the death penalty for blasphemy. But the US isn’t going to enforce rulings on blasphemy unless it views Iran as having jurisdiction over the person posting said content.

Note that the issue only affects websites in the EU legal jurisdiction. From the US legal standpoint, that means doing business in the EU. The body text has the qualification, but the headline does not.

The Court of Justice of the EU—likely without realizing it—just completely shit the bed and made it effectively impossible to run any website in the entirety of the EU that hosts user-generated content.

“in the entirety of the EU”

That’s kinda clickbaity. This isn’t going to apply to, say, lemmy.today.

I used Reddit for a long time, since the extremely early days of the site, back when most of the content was posted by Reddit staff and there was really just one page.

While I wasn’t enthralled with the move from old.reddit.com to the new reddit.com, the site was at least still accessible via the old interface, absent a minor quirk here and there in how Markdown was interpreted, and different ways of customizing subreddit appearance. That wasn’t enough to cause me to leave.

What did it for me was that I expected that when they moved from their growth phase to monetization phase that they’d make some changes that I wouldn’t like, but I didn’t expect them to end access for third-party clients, which was not okay with me.

There were still many flat surfaces in the world that did not yet have advertisements displayed on them.

Also, I can’t wait to buy up used RAM for pennys when the bubble pops.

The memory that manufacturers are producing is HBM; they’re transitioning facilities that had been producing memory for DIMMs to producing HBM. HBM won’t be in DIMM form factor — you can’t just stick it into the slots on a PC motherboard.

I read an article yesterday that Samsung’s memory division wasn’t even willing to let Samsung’s own cell phone division lock in any long-term memory buying agreement with them, which the cell ohone division hsd been trying to do. Too much money in selling HBM memory for parallel compute to datacenters.

Some 6,000 miles away in California, Paul Coronado said monthly sales at his company, Caramon, which sells recycled low-end memory chips pulled from decommissioned data-center servers, have surged since September. Almost all its products are now bought by Hong Kong-based intermediaries who resell them to Chinese clients, he said.

“We were doing about $500,000 a month,” he said. “Now it’s $800,000 to $900,000.”

I threw away a bunch of large-capacity DDR4 DIMMs last year, figured that theyld be useless in the future. Kind of wish I hadn’t, now. Reusing old DIMMs is probably the only source of supply that can be ramped up in the near term.

In October, SK Hynix said all its chips are sold out for 2026, while Samsung said it had secured customers for its HBM chips to be produced next year. Both firms are expanding capacity to meet AI demand, but new factories for conventional chips won’t come online until 2027 or 2028.

Two or three years until manufacturing will be ramped up, and there’s nobindication of how much of that will go to HBM as well.

If you’re wanting something that makes for a neat, mesmerising visual effect, maybe a plasma ball?

It looks like they’re available on Amazon for the mid-to-low end of that price range.

If consumers aren’t going to or are much less likely to upgrade, then that affects demand from them, and one would expect manufacturers to follow what consumers demand.

I remember when it wasn’t uncommon to buy a prebuilt system and then immediately upgrade its memory with third party DIMMs to avoid paying the PC manufacturer’s premium on memory. Seeing that price relationship becoming inverted is a little bonkers. Though IIRC Framework’s memory-on-prebuilt-systems didn’t have much of a premium.

I also wonder if it will push the market further towards systems with soldered memory or on-core memory.

You can have applications where wall clock tine time is not all that critical but large model size is valuable, or where a model is very sparse, so does little computation relative to the size of the model, but for the major applications, like today’s generative AI chatbots, I think that that’s correct.

Last I looked, a few days ago on Google Shopping, you could still find some retailers that had stock of DDR5 (I was looking at 2x16GB, and you may want more than that) and hadn’t jacked their prices up, but if you’re going to buy, I would not wait longer, because if they haven’t been cleaned out by now, I expect that they will be soon.

Someone has to make the determination, and unless Congress specifies it legislatively, it’s gonna be up to the Executive Branch.

The US is unlikely to grow labor-intensive manufacturing to match China. However, I suspect that it could overcome the wage difference that makes it more-advantageous to manufacture many things in China.

• Some kind of radical transformation in manufacturing that drastically reduces labor costs in manufacturing. Maybe advanced AI could wind up doing this.

• Labor-intensive manufacturing shifting out of China for the same reasons that it once shifted into China — because there are lower-wage countries out there.

  https://www.investopedia.com/manufacturing-already-moved-out-of-china-now-where-will-it-go-11711407

  Many U.S. companies have refocused supply chains to Vietnam, Thailand and other countries in the region, partly because labor costs have risen in China over the decades.

None of those result in a bunch of US unskilled manufacturing jobs that pay wages competitive with many other jobs, which is why some people in the US want the US to do more manufacturing, but it could result in the share of manufacturing in China relative to the US declining.

Historically, it was conventional to have a “you have unsaved work” in a typical GUI application if you chose to quit, since otherwise, quit was a destructive action without confirmation.

Unless video games save on exit, you typically always have “unsaved work” in a video game, so I sort of understand where many video game devs are coming from if they’re trying to implement analogous behavior.

Not if the pool is all of the colors. I haven’t even had all of them before.
