Or, I keep using my Fritzbox, which is a single device and does everything I want.

As far as I know, there is no cable modem/router integrated device.

What's the deal with / as tmpfs about? I'm so trying to understand nixos.

Then you're still looking at a mess of devices and a relatively power hungry system plus you still have your ISPs modem

I need my Internet for work, so I just replaced my ISPs modem with a FritzBox, which is not ideal, but serves me well, gets updates for quite a while and works pretty much always.

I mean, it's at the very edge of what science can do and realistically there's not that much else you could do except test on relatively highly developed animals. You'd kind of expect that to happen, but I don't see a viable alternative.

Maybe his idea of a town square is more like a place for Nuremberg rally events.

They wrote "cheap m1 MacBook". That's 8gb ram in total. You can't reasonably compare a GPU with 8gb of dedicated RAM to 8gb of shared main memory.

We don't know that. What are they even measuring? New installs? New accounts? What is a DAU? Opened the app this day? Engaged with the app? Looked at a notification? What is the measured user base? Can this population be called representative for the entire user base?

Without detailed information about that, this kind of data is basically astrology.

The AI was flabbergasted, obviously.

TikTok’s DAU growth rate has collapsed.

That might as well be saturation. If you already have nearly 100% of the target demographic on your app, there's not much room to grow.

Also, that data is from some mobile analytics firm, how reliable are those numbers?

Building the entire pipeline initially would be insane, true.

But as an aspiration, it's not that dumb. Start with a highly optimized ARM chip in gen 1, add more ASIC components in gen 2, have some packaging in-house for gen 3, etc. etc.

OpenAI seems to aim at the long game. Investing billions now to save trillions later could be sane.

Dell Precision, HP Probook for example. There are probably more, but these are the ones that I know of.

They won't start from scratch.

You can license ARM cores, scale up the design a bit and get to first pre-production units within a year or two.

OpenAI needs extremely large amounts of computing power and is almost 100% dependent on Nvidia to get it. That's not a good situation to be in. Even if they can't compete with Nvidia directly, building their own chips might be cheaper than paying Nvidia's profit margin.
