In the video I watched just before this one, Jay-Z $0.02 expressed similar wishful thinking about the same news about CXMT. The reason I know that's just wishful thinking is that the Econ 101 assumption more competition among manufacturers --> lower prices for their customers only operates as theorized in healthy markets, meaning markets in which supply and demand are at or near equilibrium so that such changes to supply (or demand) can significantly move the equilibrium point, which is where supply and demand curves intersect. Currently, AI gibberish is inflating demand far beyond what one RAM producer can remedy.
One possible solution, which I conceived while thinking about OpenAI's hack of HuggingFace (which Jay-Z $0.02 reported), is to require a full audit trail of everything that every AI does on any Internet-connected device, meaning, a full transcript of (1) the exact instructions input by the user(s), (2) the user's (or users') IP address(es) including any/all that were used for obfuscation, and (3) all the code that the AI generated then executed in response to that user input. This way, victims of the next AI hack would have proof of exactly what happened, produced at the expense of the perpetrator(s). The expense would be exorbitant to you and me but just a drop in the bucket to AI investors. However, the associated legal liability might sober the demand side, if that's even possible with such a feverish, speculative investment bubble.
AI bros: But then, all the AI investment capital will go to countries without that requirement.
Me: Good riddance to bad rubbish, by which I mean both you and your 'investment capital,' you clowns. Making that speculative bubble somebody else's problem is the point of my plan, not a downside. Some would say 'it's a feature, not a bug.'
Use of AI should also require a license and insurance, like driving an automobile. Then, irrevocable loss of one's AI license would be the penalty for any failure to keep the AI records described herein (including accidental or accidental destruction of the device(s) on which that data is recorded, so there would be strong incentive for responsible data backup practices). One strike and you're out for AI users will not seem unreasonable to anybody who reads the entirety of this comment.
Human beings have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Tools do not. Use of inherently dangerous tools is routinely restricted. Tools that endanger everybody (and as a speculative investment bubble, AI does exactly that) should of course be more strictly regulated than tools that can only endanger a few people who happen to be nearby a person who is abusing a technology or using a technology incompetently. Both guns and automobiles can only endanger other people who are nearby a person using them, and both of those are regulated.
AI is treated as special in the corporate media because the deluded investor class that owns the corporate media wishes for AI to allow them to evade the fact that their economic model's requirement of perpetual, exponential growth of the world economy is in contradiction with nature's limits. The economic result of nature's limits is diminishing marginal returns in real productivity, as human ingenuity approaches the maximum possible productivity in more sectors of the productive economy.
The only coping mechanism they have devised so far is feverish bouts of speculative money movement: the dot-com bubble, the home mortgage bubble, and now the AI bubble. The over-privileged have ways of profiting from the downside as well as the upside, through exotic (to most of us) financial instruments, as well as simple trading of currencies and other less exotic assets as those asset classes lose value at different rates, just because they have access to large amounts of capital, not due to any unusual skill nor any other merit. Because of their easy access to large amounts of liquid capital that allows them to profit on the downside as well as the upside, they don't have any personal incentive to care about what economists call the health of the overall economy. Any hopes that the super-wealthy don't want to foul their own nest are naive. It isn't even their nest. An economy that doesn't work for you still works just fine for the over-privileged, because they are always able to generate more capital, just by virtue of already having large amounts of liquid capital.
One way or another, it would be better for everybody except the ridiculously wealthy to deter any more speculative investment in AI. The current inconvenience to video gamers is minor compared to the popping of speculative bubbles like this one. After these huge revenues, how will nVidia downshift to selling its wares primarily to the video gamer market again Maybe, if a functional government intervenes like it did decades ago to break up the telecoms, we can again see something like our old nVidia, that made awesome hardware for our frivolous video games. But before that can happen, the same idiots that made all this happen in the first place would have to elect a functional government. What do you estimate are the odds of that
Yes, I know economists say just demand curve as if it means the whole graph on which a supply curve intersects a demand curve. Economic jargon is trash. The term demand itself is incorrect, as used in economic jargon. A less inaccurate term would be request because penalties aren't imposed on every market participant who opts not to produce a particular product or service that an economic market wants; those participants only forego the potential profit from accommodating that request (and all the risks associated with failed attempts to provide it). Economic markets issue requests, not demands. Economic jargon is trash. I'm more interested in saying true things, so that my meaning is clear to a generally well-educated reader, than in using economists' trashy jargon the way economists use it.

Traditional motions sensors need line of sight. These router methods work through walls and floors. What happens in apartments or other multi-family dwellings It is essentially illegally spying on unsuspecting people. Violating them in their own homes. This tech will only be refined to higher and higher resolutions of fidelity. These companies will know how many times you wipe. They will know when you are being intimate with your partners (or yourself). They will know how much cream you put in your coffee. This tech is already good enough to detect your breathing and heart rate.
With basically all devices these days being smart devices, they will all be connected to these routers and the data sent through and to these ISPs. All this data will be cross-referenced and eventually built into a remarkably accurate simulation of real time events in your home. Even if you don't want any of this. Your neighbor might have this set up in their home. Wifi signals reach quite far... And as he says this is opt-in /for now/. I'd suspect one or both of these things to occur. 1) Eventually this turns out to be false and they were doing it all along without consent. 2) They decide to roll back the opt-in for opt-out or mandatory. All while charging people a subscription for the privilege of being spied upon.

Had to say this when I saw comcast spy router in the thumb. Ill try to keep it short.
Small ISPs are also a threat. A small town ISP told my grandfather the tech said he needed a new router (rent fee for one).
I showed up next week. Unplugged their junk and plugged in his router. Worked fine.
His bill showed no speed data. just said speed: up to 50. no mbps. no gpbs. nothing. just 50.
I call. Asked them on the service call who asked for the new router. Caregiver confirmed it was the tech but they said customer asked for it.
I ask them the speed he gets. She said 50 MEGA BYTES PER SECOND. I asked her to double check as thats incorrect as no ISPs bill by MBps. Her collegue said the same. I checked prior and the mbps matched wihat the bill should say, 50 mbps.
THEN she said they plan to make ALL customers REQUIRE their routers in the future if they want service.
This goes against the FCC The Alternative Telecommunications Special Act / Consolidated Appropriations Act.
I filed a fraud report to the FCC and FTC against them.

22:09 You SHOULD NOT support this.
They will eventually try to make this watermark identify more than just how the text was generated.
All in all, a privacy nightmare. And just because you hate AI doesn't mean you should support bad laws and practices.
It never stops at what you don't like.
edit:
Also, you misunderstood the memes about code. Visual Studio Code bundles copilot by default for example, and you get code completion as you type. It's like Intellisense on steroids.
99% of devs use that and any sort of watermarking WILL impact code quality. Also, if you're just asking the LLM to for example, generate a boilerplate for something you'll build upon by yourself, you obviously don't want watermarks degrading code quality either.
Please, don't comment on things you don't understand, or at least research before doing so. I like your content but as a software developer, this part was a bit silly.

Using a VPN opens you up to warrantless surveillance by the NSA. They use a sort of loophole where they claim that since they don't know where the ISP is originating from, they assume that the communications are foreign, which then allows them to monitor all your internet traffic. I'm no fan of AOC or Senator Wyden but they both tried warning the public about this just in the past few years, as they were privy to inside information, as they were on an intelligence committee where they had closed door meetings with intelligence agencies. And while they couldn't outright say people were being spied on when using a VPN, they grilled the heads of intelligence in public hearings about it after they learned the NSA was using this loophole to spy on US citizens using VPNs.

about that user, he should def sue Crucial. German consumer laws (civil code section 439) allows the consumer to choose between:
Replacement
Repair
A German consumer never has to accept a refund. A seller can refuse the consumer's demand and seek an alternative if the consumer's demand is unreasonable, but it doesn't say refund bought value and also requires there to be no substantial negative impact to the consumer.
I sincerely hope he sues Crucial / Micron, makes them pay for the lawyers, the court and the current market value of a replacement part. As a German consumer: that's exactly what I would seek myself if my still warranty-covered devices failed and the company acted like that..

I can confirm about the emails, as I sent an email to GN pertaining to my RMA issues as I know you guys do a good job covering it. I figured I wasn't the only one that is getting screwed over as there hasn't been a reply yet. I have all the receipts for the back and forth with my replacement being denied. I've even tried telling them I just need the capacity and for it to be an SSD (atp didn't care if it was M.2 or 2.5) and was still told they can't provide a replacement, but would give a refund for the original price. My issue, is the drive that failed was a 4TB drive and the purchase price for it is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than what it currently is. Just a shit sandwich I'm having to eat now.

My father would be dead today if I hadn't used AI and insisted he was having a brainstem stroke when my doctor tried to convince us otherwise. A brainstem stroke is rare and produces bilateral symptoms instead of only one side of the body being affected. Instead of being in the ground today he's still able to live independently.
I'm so deeply sorry your videogames are more expensive though. It must be wiwwy wiwwy hawwd to get through your day knowing you can't play all the AAA bangers like Marathon that have been coming out lately without dropping detail from ultra to just high. AI users (like Louis Rossman and Linus Torvalds) are such selfish short-sighted assholes.

Can you please do a video covering how Samsung Vastly over-sold pre orders for the Galaxy fold 8 pistachio This is done via their Samsung store and are making customers wait months with no shipping updates. All while still simultaneously taking orders from new customers with false delivery estimates.
August 30th Update: Samsung is still allowing customers to purchase the fold 8 1TB with false delivery estimates of Sept. 14th for example. But, upon purchase you will be notified that your purchase has been delayed indefinitely due to excessive consumer demand. I have proceeded to cancel my order. This needs to be investigated. Horrible sales practices.

Getting a refund of our original cost versus the replacement value or cost plus equity is an interesting dilemma. That very drive (the 4tb X-10) is one of my more valuable pieces of equipment. It was a lot brand new, dropped in cost like most items do, and then acted like gold because it was even more expensive than it originally was and to replace it dings the wallet palpably. In this day and age, the consumer in the U.S. is who loses. The E.U. and other countries are more pro-consumer and force companies to behave ethically. I think the U.S. will stay headed in the direction that favors companies on this issue.

I am glad WiFi motion is opt-in only and not on by default. Technology is a strange thing. In general, the better and more convenient it becomes, the more it exposes us to things like data harvesting, tracking, and the like. At the end of the day, we all have to decide how much we want to trust these companies with our data and what they'll do with it, or just not take advantage of many modern things. Smart cell phones and social media are a great example. The vast majority of people have decided that using them is worth the amount of data harvested from their use over the cost of not having/using them.

Regarding the unwillingness to replace faulty consumer SSDs, I think I know the actual reasoning behind it:
SK Hynix/Micron et al for years sold consumers less high-end versions of their product line... it's always been enterprise gets the highest-performing chips, controllers, whatever.
Now with Consumer shuttered, they only have that high-end stuff in stock, and they don't want to replace consumer 2nd rate stuff with Enterprise 1st rate stuff, because that in turn would deliver hard evidence to consumers as to how they've always been 2nd class customers.

I have run into this on a couple SSD's and DDR4 ram from Crucial. Crucial stated they did not have inventory to replace them. Also a couple SSD's from Silicon Power. SP did replace them, but the replacements a) were not the same model that had failed... and b) replacements failed in 33 days and they would not replace them. Have heard similar stories at the company I work for where vendors are not able to offer replacements and there is fine print to allow them to get away with it.
Manufacturers and vendors are killing the computer industry.

lol I recently took my country’s big tech seller to small claims court because they refused warranty 3 times on my 7900xtx which was under warranty and having the known vapour chamber overheating issues causing it to crash. The evidence THEY provided to defend the company actually proved their inadequate testing and wrongful denial of warranty LMAO. Then they tried to give me store credit. Like I want to buy from you again hell no, I pushed and got my full refund and brought myself a GPU off the tech company I now work for :)

Hate I missed your visit to Raleigh! It almost feels like a collusion between the memory cartels and the big chip makers. AI companies have purchased products right now sitting on the shelves for months at the expense of billions waiting on potential build out with the guarantees that something epic is going to happen. What is the point in stifling entire markets when you already have hardware you can't deploy Yet market demand is causing all the issues that only affect end users who might be able to take advantage of the technology persist.

The world was organized to be shit by evil people, but all it takes is everyday working class folks doing the same in reverse to push for power to benefit us instead. Whatever you can do to get folks to come together to build ethical tech, push policy makers to reign in big tech, and create spaces for discussion that move people from complaining online as individuals to actually meeting each other and making real plans as a group (and learning from their inevitable failures) is awesome.

As for DRAM competition... yeah, more players in the space should be a good thing in principle... however, with China especially,. there's always the huge worry hanging over every piece of hardware coming out of its fabs and going international:
Just how much and what kind of hardware-level and potentially software-level spyware is secretly being included... I'd definitely never buy chinese 1st party computer components without first having seen multiple truly independent security audits giving them the green light.

17:57 One could also say it could be used as a security system, or as a way to see if someone, say an elderly person, has become incapacitated from falling. Some people use wifi-sensing for automations. I have tested it using an ESP32 to turn on lights and so forth. It works but is unreliable. And you would need several of those routers with multiple antennas(array) to have a working tracking system like the one shown in the video. Triangulation cannot be done from 1 point in space. A little sensationalism going on here.

A little sensationalism going on here.

Our data/my work: just goes to show how brain-dead hardcore-LLM-users (outside the scientific community) already are, that they honestly think that they did any real work by telling an LLM to spit out data, let alone that this was then their property...
But then again, nothing new... the people running sweatshops, forcing children to work, or worse. to fight, have been doing the exact same thing for centuries at this point... same shit as always, just a slightly less disgusting coat of paint.

I recently got a KingSpec 4TB replaced through NewEgg Kingspec store. First SSD that went bad on me but they replaced it without issues.
I stocked up on so many 8TB and 4TB SSDs right before prices went crazy. Renewed Seagate HDD also for my NAS-es that I was throwing 6 and 8TB HDDs away. Now they're like several hundred dollars. Crazy.
5080 slim OC jumped from $1300 to $1800 in 25 days, within my return window.
I better lock in my Cloud storage prices...
