DerDerDaIst··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
"To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust." I hope he told them in person. I don't understand why this is mentioned inside the NVIDIA press release.

His family is not of other peoples business....

DerDerDaIst··on Upload Your RAM
i agree with sam.

Plus it's far more efficient to buy tons of gpu's for the shelves rather than actually use them.

DerDerDaIst··on Budget offers $50B jolt to help Canada double its electricity grid
100% agree.

that's also why i don't understand why germany is financing it through the electricity prices.

it's a classic investment for the bond markets.

the oldest of the huge poles for high-voltage power lines here in germany is 114y old.

now that's roi in excellence.

DerDerDaIst··on I wish tech companies knew more about me
recentl i watched a classic stone old german/french spy movie "Le Serpent" on prime video on the smart tv. not ending it.

i went to bed and opened youtube. guess what, there it was again.

DerDerDaIst··on One-minute frequency disturbances from synchronization in power systems
Does this also apply to my small UPS here in my office?

I just checked the power meter dashboard of the building and can see small peaks in the minute range.

In this case it's not counting in too much on the grid level as there's a periodically charged batterie in between.

> The classic example is everyone making a cup of tea at the same time during the World Cup half time break.

Are we talking soccer? I can't even imagine the british drinking tea while watching :)

DerDerDaIst··on AI promised less work. I've never worked more
I'm running a small software company together with a partner. We've moved from partly working with externals to 100% working with onpremise AI.

Both of us feel the AI fatigue from time to time.

My personal analysis is that the speed went up, with this the bandwith of different topics. Other factors that weigh in are a not lowering learning curve inside the heavily iterating AI sector and the chattiness of the Agents. If not stopped they produce so much facts that it kills me. I started constantly working on this to stop the waterfall of facts and get ontop of it.

Still not succeeded :)

DerDerDaIst··on Quad9 to exit France
Isn't this a case for the ISPs? Shouldn't they either block access to Quad9 or the servers in question? And what about 8.8.8.8 and others?

I'm confused

DerDerDaIst··on Just say no to OpenAI and Anthropic
In my MacStudios, I trust.

seriously: there's a multitude of reasons not to get hooked on Frontier Labs.

Unclear cost. Will they use your data against you? will their models work consistently over time? Will they be there at all? Their datacenters harm everyone living arround them. Their 'controversial' owners and bosses.

....

DerDerDaIst··on LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
the only reason I use linkedin is the phonebook aspect. other than that it's useless.

in germany one of the anoying aspects is that people turned political on it big time.

DerDerDaIst··on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27
re keyboard: i don't get how the keyboard on the iphone can be so broken. meanwhile the small keyboard on the ipad works like a charm.

or am i the only one experiencing it like this?

DerDerDaIst··on De-Brainrot Vacations
i've spent this summer vacation in portugal with no news websites & no socials.

As I never plan to read but know on some point i will want to read - I took the e-reader.

I ended up reading two books.

The result: I feel much more balanced and my opinion on topics and discussion habits calmed down a lot.

I hope I can keep the detox of those every more present redical views up for longer, it is really relaxing.

DerDerDaIst··on Mistral now trains on user input by default, except on enterprise tier
Oh come on. So you should be fine with this because "hey we're the friendly europeans..."?
DerDerDaIst··on I Used AWS Cognito for a Startup. I Wouldn't Do It Again
I had the same learnings with cognito when using it for a product we built.

We mainly choose it because AWS was used anyway and the security aspect seemed to be solved entierly with this coice (if aws get's hacked ... ).

We regretted it out of similar reasons.

DerDerDaIst··on Stwipe Acquires OpenWouter
makes more sense than a lot of prompts i got answered and paid for
