Not what I meant. I mean they're both fighting for total control of AI and the associated hardware. Everyone else is just collateral in that fight right now. The US wants control over all the parts and pieces and so does China. Europe, in this...

And other people are using made-up statistics to justify it is bad. I agree it is a sucky connector but stick to facts, not made-up statistics.

I agree. I fully agree with the engineering assessment of the connector and how they're really pushing it too far. If people just stuck to that I wouldn't have a conflicting thing to say on this discussion. Most of the debates on this topic are...

I wouldn't be surprised. The US and China are fighting for total control and other markets are going to get brutalized unless they try to slow the drain.

You're ignoring the point I made. I never said the design was good. I said the math didn't add up in claiming how big the problem was. I made it very clear that I was pointing out only an error in using bad statistics, not claiming anything about...

All I used to hear in the 2000's and 2010's was "Risk Analysis" and "Data Driven Decisions"! They seem to have stopped talking about that stuff and are now just doing cost cutting without any risk analysis at all. The drive to stoke profits...

My first thought when I saw the topic was that we've had alternatives to Photoshop for decades. 99% of the world doesn't need Photoshop because the basics do the job. And, these days with AI, people aren't even going to learn the basics anymore...

So ignore actual statistical modeling methodology which all industries use to study failure rates and trust the AI. Gotcha.

A.I. makes it so esay to debunk false claims these days: No, it does not contain a large enough sample size. Your skepticism about the poster's lack of statistical knowledge is completely spot on. When evaluating hardware issues through the lens...

Um, no. Look, I'm not defending nVidia here and frankly I think the connector should be redesigned. BUT, a sufficient sample size to prove something is failing due to design is far higher than one, or even two or three. It highly depends on the...

PLA seems weird. I doubt anyone is actually printing in PLA. Probably just a filament name they were familiar with so wrote things that way. Most of the people involved probably don't know anything about filament like this. Even PETG isn't great...

I recall they were dinged for seeding but not for downloading the data in the first place.

I love the use of AI for things like cancer screening for instance. That literally helps save lives. Hard to argue against that sort of approach. I also don't have issue with running AI models against air traffic control data to highlight...

It is unfortunate, but the people creating the content (outside of big operations like Paramount, Disney, and big publishers), rarely have the resources to make these people hurt for it. The people being hurt the most don't have a chance in hell...

How does that stack up beyond 6 years though? The building doesn't change if the hardware changes. The launch costs have to happen all the time as satellites de-orbit, hardware degrades, etc. Yes, it is getting cheaper to send it up but the costs...

They'll put a very small "data centre" up there and declare victory to keep the investors happy and to appease the fans. They'll quietly deorbit it after a while and never launch any more of the things but people will have stopped paying...

Oh I agree. But like all of this stuff, these actions by governments are all for show anyway. They know they can't actually stop it so everything they're doing is to convince the loud constituents that they're "taking action". It is all a big dog...

That is absolutely hilarious. I get it if I was buying 100 of the things but if China has people buying one or two at a time do you really think they'll give a shit about violating this piece of paper? This is just Microcenter's lawyers putting...

I suspect the major ones will comply (i.e. makerworld, printables, etc). Yes, they'll still be available on other sites but as long as the files vanish off the main sites the politicians generally end up happy that they accomplished something...

I find it amusing that they think of gaming as a major contributor to power bills. Gaming barely registers as a contributor to our electric bill, even when multiple PC's are running at the same time.
