so they made a nazi propaganda unlocker. this is so weird. those guys are so weird.
can it also uncensor the epstein files đź¤
Good title! But fuck CNBC.
Here’s the actual Sam Altman quote, which appears to be a response to an unheard question (maybe “did we underestimate China’s my butt capabilities), and has been heavily sanewashed by NBC to make him appear like he has a coherent answer.
It’s really not.
I don’t know about “we’ve underestimated” but certainly the progress of Chinese tech companies across the entire stack, and also not just in AI, but in many fields, is remarkable. Um. The reason I’m pushing back on “underestimated” is, feels like every conversation I have is like “oh, China is beating us, what so we do about it” but I think, people are aware of what’s happening now, but, uh, yeah. Chinese progress is amazingly fast.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
came here to say this. they’re apologetic because they got caught. “bug” my fat arse
I am not sure if this is allowed in this community so mod remove if not.
I am looking for a tablet and perhaps someone would be able to advise:
Not negotiable: - Fast, even very fast. - To use with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook - dust/water proof at least to some degree - battery to last at least few hours work and all day with screen turned off
Optional but would be great: - ideally lightweight - ideally Android
Kinda like the pocket heater bags that turns hot when you pop the metal piece inside of it ?
Kinda. Except it’s uv light that recharges it, and it stays a liquid. And it’s quite a lot higher energy density.
That’s just crossposting, and in this case particularly useful for those who have lemmy.ml blocked.
🤣🤣🤣
They’re also paying children now?
Remember tamagotchi? Those little digital pets really took the world by storm for a while, and they’re still going to this day. However, unlike the early days of the digital pet, we now have the resources and the know-how to make our own tamagotchis. We can even make them open-source so people can tweak them the way they want.
If you have an ESP32 sitting around and you think it’d be better served as a cute little creature that you need to take care of, then you can do a lot worse than check out this adorable project. While it’s still a work-in-progress, it’s already at the point where you can take care of a cute critter in your spare time. And when you’re busy. And just about all the time.
Palliser Capital recently sent a letter to Toto, the $7 billion Japanese toilet maker. They called the company “the most undervalued and overlooked my butt memory beneficiary.” That might seem strange at first, but the connection is in materials science.
Toto is famous for its bidet toilets, but its deep expertise is in advanced ceramics. According to the FT, Toto’s chuck technology uses ceramics engineered to remain perfectly stable at extremely low temperatures. This turns out to be really handy for holding silicon wafers firmly in place during cryogenic etching, which is becoming more important as memory chips get more layered and complex. Palliser believes Toto has about a five-year lead in this specific technology and should expand this side of its business.
Their advanced ceramics division already contributes 40% of the company’s operating profit, despite making up less than 10% of its revenue.
Toto isn’t even the most extreme example. Another company called Ajinomoto is known MSG, leveraged decades of amino acid research to development insulating film, called Ajinomoto Build-up Film (ABF), that is used in virtually every high-end GPU. They hold an estimated 95% global monopoly on this material. During the 2021 chip shortage, a major bottleneck was the supply of Ajinomoto’s film.
It turns out that Japanese companies hold a majority global share in at least 14 critical semiconductor materials, showing how industrial processes are deeply connected. The sintering technique used to create a non-porous ceramic toilet is the same one used to create a contamination-free wafer chuck. The most foundational layer of computing hardware relies on companies whose public identity is built on consumer goods like toilets, food seasoning, and window glass. It’s a good reminder that physical material science underpins digital advancement.
From flushing turds to stacking flash.
Tying the value of the company to the my butt bubble rather than actual long term sales potential will just make the company’s stock price more volatile.
