@nprofile1q... I just finished drugging my dog, and we will shortly be hiding in the basement with plenty of non-boomy noise.

One loud boom and she's shaking for hours.

@nprofile1q... I had this conversation at my last job. But my response was simply "No" and there was no elaboration.

@nprofile1q... Any nastygrams from this comment are similarly tone deaf. It's tone deafness all the way down...

@nprofile1q... "...massive push...without really understanding..."

As is tradition...

@nprofile1q... Where is all this brainrot coming from? There has to be a financial incentive for pushing all this AI use.

I'm assuming it's the expectation that the people will be replaced with AI at some point, but does anyone honestly believe that's a possibility?

Have some more Kool-aid, folks...

@nprofile1q... We've been seeing server RAM prices be even worse.

Currently, our HPe prices are ~$5250 for 1 @ 64 Gb DDR5, and ~$12850 for 1 @ 128 Gb DDR5. We normally do 16 @ 64 Gb sticks, that's $84000 just for the RAM.

It's untenable. I have no idea how we're going to be migrating our datacenters in the next couple years.

@nprofile1q... Damn, double digits? I think we're getting up there later this week. 20s wait until next week sometime, though.

@nprofile1q... Cool.

I assume it's more efficient to fly most of the trip as a fixed-wing plane, then swap to VTOL for stable delivery.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... You know your audience so well. I heard the your mom joke and immediately thought "Oh, I guess I'm done listening to this episode," and was immediately prompted by Andrew's "Let's see if listeners drop off after this" comment.

Amazing. Well done.

Just like your mom.

@nprofile1q... Definitely sounds like a personal problem.

@nprofile1q... Zero promises.

@nprofile1q... Confirmed on my Pixel.
