Anyway, I was told the reason the USAF’s slogan is “Aim high!” is to make sure they don’t shoot themselves in the feet.

rofls

eh, valid.

Ironically I know navy vets who got it working in crowded hulls (they have a name for it, machine spaces lol!) where the cacophony and vibration never stopped, and lots of chairforce vets who worked the flight line.

simulated tinnitus was borderline painful

ooh fuck. I do my best to try not to think about it but it’s like a good friend, always there.

Now I am starting to wonder if the one group’s hearing was just collectively fucked?

can certainly happen to units coming home from IED’s and shit. I can’t wait until they figure out how to cure tinnitus. I just wish the VA was realistic about hearing loss being a much wider problem than they’re acknowledging going back to the 70s and 80s even.

yeah thanks 3m. foam fucking plug bullshit. I knew it was gonna be a problem, too, when I realized half the nco ranks were obviously hearing impaired already just from range and field training.

yep. the only movie I recall that paid it any attention was Saving Private Ryan.

well that didn’t take very long

nah just reality. billionaires suck, but you seem to suck even more somehow. impressive.

still am, but I moved to a place without AC and still am warm most of the time. good luck!

man I wish you’d gone out with the rest of the dinosaurs, this conversation is extinct.

Well, shit. So much for that. Is that even legal?

AI should be illegal if this is the consequence. fuuuuUUUUuu

and you really think this matters in regards to the ram crisis.

wow, man, whatever you’re smoking you should share

Micron Locks In Historically High Memory Prices For Five Years

ho lee fuggin sheeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiit

Even massive efforts to build new chip fabs aren’t much help, he said, because the increasing complexity of new memory types means it takes longer to build factories – and when they come online there still won’t be enough capacity to build both the high-bandwidth memory needed for AI and other types of NAND and DRAM.

Thank you.

you can always add more layers, if I take off any more layers it’s an uncomfortable chat with HR while I clear my desk and get escorted out lol

entirely agree. if there were overproduction it would cause the prices to crash, can’t have that.

Isn’t it likely that prices are going to drop once production starts at the new fab?

depends on the market; one of the things I’ve seen repeatedly is new fabs opening to produce newer processes - replacing older fabs with larger nodes that then are shut down.

sometimes it’s advantageous to keep the old lines going and eek every bit of market share out of them, sometimes it’s prohibitive to keep older processes open.

but to respond to your query: in this market? in these crazy times? I’d be striking while the iron is hot and getting the maximum I could from every dram chip because the valuations of the hyperscalers and the surrounding ecosystem - open AI, anthropic, meta, google, nvidia etc., will continue to gobble it up until the bubble blows up in their faces.

bench seat injuries were often from people whipping their skulls and limbs into the ones next to them, even when seatbelted.

I still cannot fathom why Honda hasn’t released an ev civic with a 120 mile range. it would sell huge.

yeah this is kind of the pattern with ram price fluctuations.

Ram demand goes up.

Ram prices go up.

Ram makers say they’ll increase capacity.

Nothing happens, they may open new factories but close older lines, or they may start to open another fab but then for whatever reason it doesn’t work.

Ram prices go up.
