Ever noticed that when campus people high on their farts praise their work as meaningful, it's trash, 99% of the time? This post needs a lot of context, because most of us I doubt had any plans to see it.

It may be possible (the main causes of aging have been well identified), though I doubt any amount of LLMs or related tech will get them there. IMO, that's just hubris. It going to take genius type engineers and doctors, and time.

HDDs and SSDs very likely. They can swap from SAS to SATA on a dime, and many of us can use used SAS drives. NAND for server SSDs are just binned and respec'd consumer NAND, and many people will have good uses for server SSDs at home and work.

RAM is a big question mark. Part of the RAM problem is that they are shifting types of RAM produced. Less normal DDR5, and more LPDDR5 types and HBM (HBM is physically huge, and low yield, and low power DDR5 is only soldered into main boards). If it takes into next year to burst the bubble, there will be production competition from DDR6, as well.

Flash makers are limited by water supply, and most modern memory and logic products are operating as zero sum markets, right now. Growth exists, but it can be sped up to meet demand, not by a long shot. Micron also went all in on AI product production, and Hynix is heavily leaning into it.

The big HDD makers all seem to have some institutional history and wisdom. Tbey are selling like crazy, but not changing any major plans. WD and Seagate are very much acting like this is a bubble (it is), and will pass. They are selling out into the future, but not doing anything that would put them in higher risk if it were to crash next week. Good for their profits and company health, but ad for our wallets.

At least link to a mirror. Obligatory Login Prompts is a better title.

It's been around awhile. I first heard of it from Turd Flinging Monkey, prior to being kicked off of YouTube. I'd guess that was well over 10 years ago, now.

Are there wood chippers with variable feet rates? Asking for a friend across the pond.

That's so self-loathing of an excuse that it kind of makes sense. Especially for the abuse victim gays, which are likely a majority of them.

The last few months every, "maybe we'll get that," purchase has been getting made, and bills are being pushed onto credit cards. That's not what they see, though.

Aye. In the 2010s, I had extra money for hobbies, socializing, and saving. Car insurance has gone up about 10x, though, power about double, my mortgage is about what my old place now rents for, and what little I have extra is going into prepping against more inflation and possibly lockdowns again. I expected to settle into my house, and then work on saving, again, but the funds just aren't there, even though I'm making about 2.5x what I did 10 years ago, and have barely changedy standard of living.

It's crazy, and it happened too fast to financially adapt, even seeing it coming. I was just getting back on my feet from 2008, on the mid 2010s...

Agreed. But, I'm going to guess that you come from a culture and ethnic heritage that valued people as individuals with some agency, and worthy of agency. Christianity had that habit, in a big way. In most of the Middle East and North Africa, much of India, and much of China, family exists to be exploited, but it's better to be exploited by family than strangers.

What poor, pity me crystal ball? I see double digit IQ literal barbarians, just in a world with some degree of civilization around them. I disagree with nothing else in your comment.

My issue is trying to ascribe some like evil to them. I don't see people like this having the intellect necessary for that. The so-called leaders importing them, OTOH...

What are the better options? This is survival. The occupation miniboom is over, the Taliban rule, and they will otherwise either starve, or be left permanently disabled in one way or another from malnourishment. Now, without an appendix, the main girl talked about in the article is especially vulnerable to contagions. I'll bet many families wish they had the option to offer their children, like that, to get them out of starving while they try to grow up. It seems the best available option, with much less foreign aid coming in.

It would be better if he could find someone to marry her off to that wasn't related, though. At least stop all the inbreeding risks.

Do you want to give the Taliban money and rations, now that you know things are this bad?

Luckily, they keep failing at snuffing out the competition, though. In the land of ESG, the honest mediocre content becomes king. They overestimated how much they could control the narrative, especially with the younger generations.

And by that, she means not giving 40% or more to the US government, anymore, right? Right?
