It's the cost. By far the biggest reason. People that don't want kids, don't want kids.

But many people do, but it's simply not financially reasonable.

Childcare, lack of days off and medical expenses are insane.

    This is huge though.

    The problem AI has, especial frontier models, is that they cost BILLIONS to develop, so they need SHIT LOADS of paying customers to be profitable.

    However, unlike let's say physical invention, you almost get no advantage of your development since China can just clone your model with very little cost and then offer it at a fraction of the cost.

    It's honestly a very effective way to undermine American companies, with hardly any money investment.

    Let US companies burn cash, then copy and undermine the customer base.

    It's one of the reasons people fear the AI bubble, all this money invested isn't coming back

    I'm running a raspberry pi 8GB version, as my plex entertainment center. I also ruin a pihole. The pie has an Ethernet connection.

    I have two TV'S, a 2017 Samsung and a 2021 Hisense. Both with Ethernet connections.

    My Samsung tv can't stream certain shows at all, they stutter like crazy I'm guessing it has something to do with the encoders? Yesterday I got a message color range not supported whatever the hell that is.

    The Hisense TV does better on some shows, but still 4k content is unwatchable, it's constantly buffering.

    So, is the problem with the pi? Is it not powerful enough for 4k shows, or some encoding problem or something?

    Or is it the TVS, should I buy a Roku box instead, would that solve the streaming problems?

     

    I'm using wefwef and I only see the total number for a post. So +15 or - 12 or whatever.

    That's how it is on reddit and I believe it's one of the main reason discussion turned so toxic. Everyone is just looking at the number and deciding if a point is valid.

    Seeing a comment with -1000/+900 is a lot different than just seeing - 100.

    I believe it fosters toxicity and stifles discussion.
