> When we announced these products in November, we planned on being able to share specific pricing and launch dates by now. But the memory and storage shortages you've likely heard about across the industry have rapidly increased since then. The limited availability and growing prices of these critical components mean we must revisit our exact shipping schedule and pricing (especially around Steam Machine and Steam Frame).

Oof.... sounds like they are all going to be $$$. That sucks and really steals the thunder from the steam machine. Gaming HW is going to suck for many years.


Hopefully China catches up in node size and crashes the market for ram and SSD.


Yes thats why I said China needs to reach parity on node size once they do then production will ramp up. Currently they are behind so just supplying to local captured China market and not competing for market share outside China.

> Gaming HW is going to suck for many years.

Not just gaming hardware, everything where the electronics are a predominant part of the unit cost (read: all gadgets) is going to be seeing a big crunch in the next ~2 years (optimistically).

Approximately 100% of RAM manufacturing capacity on Earth has been reallocated to feed the slop machines; anything consumers get is effectively a production cast-off.


Agreed. Supply chain attacks are scary. I open all sorts of secrets in NPP - did they all get leaked?

Depends. Are you a Chinese/Taiwanese national or diplomat who holds a strategic value to the CCP?

This is basically what I use tailscale & their magicdns feature for. I manage a few locally hosted jellyfin servers for myself and some family members, and its the same problem. I just added tailscale to them all and now I can basically do ssh parents.jellyfin.ts.net or inlaws.jellyfin.ts.net

I need to implement this type of thing for supporting networks of family members, but without the media server aspect - just computer/networking support. I'm looking for a cheap and reliable device that I can put in each home, to give the Tailscale "foothold". Do you happen to know of any tiny devices? I was thinking there must be something even cheaper than a Raspberry Pi to perform this single function at each location.

An old micro pc from dell/hp/lenovo. They are often cheaper and more capable than Raspberry Pis. You can just put up a random Linux distro and it will work.

If they have an Apple TV, you can just install the app and use it as an exit node. I would check out the devices that are on their network currently, chances are you can use one of those.

Use a pi zero it’s like $5

I was about to say that. This is what I do too.

The only drawback are routes - they won't work on the same CIDR (I mean the fact that you can say in Tailscale "if you want to reach the 192.168.16.13 device that does not support Tailscale, go through this Tailscale gateway"). For this I had to shift my parents' network to be able to access stuff like the printer, in a network that clashed with another one of mine.


The way we did it, roting is not a problem. Any Netrinos client (Windows, Mac, or Linux, including the free version) can act as a gateway. It assigns a unique overlay IP to devices on the local network that can't run software themselves, like cameras, NAS units, or printers, and handles the NAT translation.

Think of it like a router's DMZ feature, but inverted. Instead of exposing one device to the internet, each device gets a private address that's only reachable inside your mesh network.


This overlay approach is fantastic, but I do not think it exists in Tailscale.

In your experience, how often does Tailscale have to resort to an external relay server to traverse? I’ve had that out the kibosh on bandwidth/latency sensitive applications before.

How do you handle embedded devices that cannot install software?

I think they are still crazy r&d heavy, which it's not what investors like to hear. Investor pressure would make them stagnate from r&d side

On the other hand they would probably set things up in a way where they still control all the voting power


Okay, but I don't think we can call OpenAI a startup until it has reached the number one spot on NASDAQ with a $5 trillion valuation. Therefore, I believe now is a good time to focus on more realistic fundamentals, rather than fueling the hype by burning even more cash on the way to the absolute top, which is typical bubble mentality.

Has it? I think to challenge you have to show some comparable usage numbers. Its certainly an impressive technical feat to have this AI-based wiki project, but does anyone actually use it?

I mean that genuinely. I don't know any usage numbers for Grok. Is it even 1% of Wiki? Is it 50%? Is it more?


It's consistently better in content quality, for everything that I've used it for. I've seen conversations complaining about it that effectively reek of either anti-Musk or anti-AI bias, and when I dig in, I haven't found any legitimate bad information or arbitrary bias in the articles themselves.

It's not yet as comprehensive, with ~6 million articles compared to Wikipedia's ~7 million, and the UI isn't as good, with a lot of polish and convenience and fun features in Wikipedia that are noticeably absent.

It's qualitatively better in significant ways, and when you compare and contrast articles for which there's a difference, you start to get a feel for the ways in which Wikipedia has failed.

Being anti-Musk is a shibboleth and article of faith for a lot of people, so they can't engage with anything he's involved in on an objective level. Grokipedia isn't used by as many people for that and other reasons. From the last couple months of using it, I've found it to be an objectively better tool.

I've gone in and made corrections in places I have knowledge of, and the process and transparency of those types of edits are awesome. It just works, no drama, no dealing with digital tinpot tyrants, and if there's evidence you're wrong about a thing, the bot will actually counter your suggestion and stick to its parameters and standards.

It's not perfect by any means, but it's a damn sight better than Wikipedia.


Got any examples of articles to demonstrate that difference?



AI-slop tainted by a billionaire wanker.

Translation: I'll never use grokipedia while I have access to better alternatives.


Seems it got hugged to death.



> they can censor IPv4 when they want, but they don't know how to censor IPv6

I'm curious why this is the case? As far as I know the primary benefits of v6 is just the increased address space. Does it provide any privacy benefits? What would prevent Iran from doing the same censorship?


Just DPI hardware not supporting IPv6.


Likely very old/outdated hardware. China is heavily pushing v6 and their "great firewall" has no problem with it.

Another issue they may have however is v6 enabling internal p2p communications directly between users whereas legacy addressing with cgnat does not, although they could block this pretty easily if they wanted.


Seems like v4s zeroed out for a tiny bit too, but even now they are substantially lower than normal. Odd behavior, I don't know if its a precursor to an attack or some infra issue


for context: There is a call to action from an opposition leader for people to join the protests today. They normally cutoff internet infrastructure on purpose in these cases so people cannot communicate


Probably more likely a internet blackout to counter the protests.


For IPv4 the graph does not start at zero, but at around 45K.


Correct, click the "Min/Max scale" toggle to get a zero-based graph that shows the v4 reduction in context.


Yeah I am suprised everyone thinks this is necessarily internal. Could equally be related to IL/USA incoming aggression.

I'd at least keep an open mind for a while.


An attack would probably undermine the protests. From a strategy perspective, probably the last thing Israel/USA want to do is give the Iranian regime a common enemy to rally around in the midst of a protest that might plausibly over throw the Iranian regime.


> From a strategy perspective, probably the last thing Israel/USA want to do is give the Iranian regime a common enemy to rally around in the midst of a protest that might plausibly over throw the Iranian regime.

They attacked Iran a little while ago. But now they are playing it cool like a cucumber?


There wasn't really any sort of plausible protest movement going on at the time, and the strikes did result in an upswell of regime support in the short term.

It was advantagous for them to strike when they did, so they did. Its much less advantageous in this moment, so it seems less likely they will now. Or at least not overtly.

> But now they are playing it cool like a cucumber?

Well yes. Countries tend to do things they think will make them more powerful. Sometimes that means blowing shit up, but that is not always the right play.


I notice that what we in the West are doing is just Countries Doing Their Thing while the foreigners are violating humanity itself.


Considering the recent events going on, it’s definitely sus.


The first graph makes no sense? Why are the initial actual and expected values so far apart? Shouldn't they start at the same point?


They don't describe the graphic very well in the article, but they do link to the source data [1]. The "Expected" line seems to refer to a historical average. Since the starting point of the graph coincides with the beginning of congestion pricing, we would expect a difference between the two values at that point.
