From personal experience I had half a dozen aunts and uncles (70+) mention the "Google AI thing" on their phones. Rather surprised me.

I've heard it was Sam Altman and OpenAI basically buying every wafer available from both Samsung and SKHynix at the start of October.

Neither company know of the other purchase until it was a done deal.

Kind of funny to see manufacturers get screwed by their own opaque pricing policies for once.

All well and good when you're dictating terms with dozens of buyers, but probably not so much when a single buyer is dictating terms to a couple of sellers.

The CEO of OpenAI and OpenAI didn't coordinate?

Samsung and SK Hynix. OpenAI made deals to buy almost half of manufactured DRAM in the world. There's speculation that after this was announced, other companies started making their own deals in a panic, further driving demand.

Oh ffs it's like the toilet paper thing. I was amazed how long that continued despite credible sources saying there is no shortage, just insane demand from the loonies that don't believe it would return to normal instantly if they would just stop buying more and more extras because "see, it's out again!"

This is almost certainly what's going on right now in the retail market. OTOH it's also a semi-rational response to volatility and uncertainty as to future wholesale prices, due to, e.g. the projected build-out of future AI datacenters. As with any durable good, whenever the price might be expected to rise in the future, people will want to hoard stockpiles and the expected price rise will be brought forward to the present.

Is DRAM built using the same process/node as GPUs?

"The Support Matrix also shows Cellebrite’s capabilities against Pixel devices running GrapheneOS, with some differences between phones running that operating system and stock Android. Cellebrite does support, for example, Pixel 9 devices BFU. Meanwhile the screenshot indicates Cellebrite cannot unlock Pixel 9 devices running GrapheneOS BFU."

Not surprised at all that an open-source, third party Phone OS is tougher to crack than the Google official version.

Great tool, and incredibly easy to use. Started with it on Linux, and now use on 'doze too.

Probably the singular reason why I finally use regex as the first search option, rather than turning to it after bruting thru a search with standard wildcards.

It’s better than the normal grep, and there’s also the handy rg —-files.

Absolutely! I do this yearly. It's a great way to ensure that a SNAFU somewhere doesn't nuke years of photos, email and documents.

> Certainly the people buying software know best what their requirements are.

I doubt it. The people who are going to use the software are the ones who know what the requirements are. The people buying it should be asking the users, but rarely do.

For a large software deployment, you should be getting part of your requirements from discussions with users, but there will often be a lot of requirements from non-user stakeholders. For government deployments, even more so.

Have you ever actually worked in a large org or government IT department? :D

Commendable ideas, but they do not translate to reality. Even taking the OSS discussion out of the equation: Understanding and integrating user requirements in development processes is a hard problem in general. It gets worse when we are talking about resource-constrained contexts (like government IT)

I didn’t say it wasn’t hard. Regardless it is extremely routine for multiple stakeholders groups to be involved in software purchases, at least over my 20 years of experience.

Ideally yes, but do you realistically think that happens?

Very, very neat, and a testament to the 'that's neat' way of doing science. I also love that the device has an innate 'periodicity' of movement. Somewhat reminiscent of the Strandbeest concept (also by a Dutch gentleman Theo Jansen).

Strandbeest is one of the coolest things ive seen in real life. For the people not knowing about it, Veritasium actually made a video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFaAjR_RRJs.

No, you're the one in denial. Just have a look at the decade old book "Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us" to see the flaw in your assumptions.

It details many Concrete examples of exactly how the companies are manipulating everything about food for profit.

Kessler, further FDA head has written about this topic extensively as well.
