I would say it is weird, that NVidia competes with own customers but looking back at "Founders Edition" cards maybe it isn't that weird at all. The better question probably is - with every big corporation having its own LLM, what exactly is OpenAI moat that would explain their valuation?

Maybe Minisforum? But reviews differ from product to product, they are not consistent. Mac minis are also somewhat popular for home servers.

on: Umbrel – Personal Cloud
Eh. If it was released in early days of crypto and was dedicated only for that task and quite cheap - I don't think it would be anything wrong with it.
Think of hosting a TOR relay or some kind of WiFi/Mesh network . So it is just 10 years late, no one believes anymore that cryptocurrency will be a real decentralized payment method. The only community left is "the line goes up" people.

on: Nvidia-backed Starcloud trains first AI model in space, orbital data centers
Microsoft gave up on underwater data centers after trail run. I suspect it also was uneconomical. Easier cooling doesn't help that much when servers are inaccessible for maintenance.

on: SoundCloud has banned VPN access
It is easier to block all non-residential addresses, than block VPNs. As an added "bonus" it also kills personal VPNs running on VPS. VPNs in residential space exist but are sold as "premium" product.

on: Deprecate like you mean it
In a bit roundabout way Java 11 added `forRemoval` attribute to `@Deprecated` annotation so developers could indicate they really mean it.

on: Size of Life
It is always going to be controversial but after discovery of prions - needle shifted to "self-replicating means nothing and viruses are also dead". Then scientists also found viruses large enough that they get infected with other viruses, and parasitic cells that are missing most parts required for metabolism, so it is getting more fuzzy again.

on: I Tried the New Android XR Smart Glasses from Google and XReal
This form factor is much more approachable than full VR headset. That said statements like:
> X is still in its early development stages, but it's full of potential.
Are very common among Steam reviews for never finished early access games :D
