Only if they can still find buyers at the inflated price. I’m not aware of any consumers buying RAM right now, so I doubt they would be able to.

My assumption is that primary related mud slinging depresses enthusiasm among the public for the incumbent, combined with attempts at it only being made when the incumbent is relatively unpopular anyway.

It’s not a thing that happens often, but as far as I can find every single time the incumbent president has had someone try to primary them, the incumbent’s entire party lost the seat.

From what I’ve read the reason primaries aren’t done on incumbents is because every single time it’s been tried the incumbent lost the actual election and the seat went to the other party.

So long as there’s a proper primary I don’t see the harm in this, not really. I can’t see her running a good enough campaign to make it through the primaries, at least not without also having a good enough campaign to beat the fascist party after Trump.

At the very least, didn’t Sam Altman/OpenAI say they intend to have these exact same restrictions?

Cool, I don’t believe them.

Honestly I’m not sure, maybe halfway through Trump 1. Definitely before Trump’s third supreme court pick, but it’s been long enough now (and I was sheltered enough) that I can’t actually remember how bad the early years of his first presidency was. Definitely not as bad as this last year though.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame Democrats for not doing this 15 years ago, at least back then the Republicans were still pretending to follow the rules overall.

And following decent coding practices there shouldn’t be a ton of code there (not saying a small amount, just little enough that AI would be able to compete in volume in this amount of time), just because less is so often more.

Hey hey, let’s be honest here, bragged, it’s been 9 months or so by now. Who knows how much of windows is vibecoded at this point, it might be as high as 50%.

Since when are there savings accounts with interest rates worth even calculating? The interest rate on my savings account is down at 0.01%.
