  • Is $879 for an extra 20 horsepower even worth it?

  • I'm amazed that these lawyers are using things like ChatGPT, when better solutions exist for the legal industry. The big legal databases (like LexisNexis) have their own AI tools that will give you actual useful results, since they're trained on caselaw from the database rather than just using a generic model, and link to the relevant cases so you can verify them yourself.

  • This doesn't sound any easier than using Ctrl+X to cut files and Ctrl+V to paste them wherever you want to?

  • What is a spring-loaded folder?

  • Especially younger people. They're used to files just... being there on their phone. Photo albums? Nah, just scroll though every photo you've ever taken to find the right one.

    That, and having powerful search functionality + tagging has made perfect folder structures less of a requirement. I've never had trouble finding documents in paperless-ngx just by searching, for example.

  • Revenue is increasing, but according to their own estimates, it has to increase 10x in order for them to become profitable.

  • In the end, it still means their losses are greater than their profits.

    They've still got taxes they need to pay, too - things like payroll taxes, real estate taxes, etc.

  • Thanks! This makes sense, however OpenAI are not yet profitable. It's definitely possible that they're losing less money with the new models, though.

  • OpenAI are not profitable today, and don't estimate they'll be profitable until 2029, so it's almost guaranteed that they're selling their services at a loss. Of course, that's impossible to verify - since they're a private company, they don't have to release financial statements.

  • that make it sound bad and unprofitable

    It is unprofitable, though.

    OpenAI recently hit $10 billion in ARR and are likely to hit $12.7b by the end of the year, but they're still losing a lot of money. They don't think they'll make a profit until 2029, and only if they hit their target of $125 billion revenue. That's a huge amount of growth - 10x in 4 years - so I'm interested as to if they'll actually hit it.

  • Their point is that those API prices might not match reality, and the prices may be artificially low to build hype and undercut competitors. We don't know how much it costs OpenAI, however we do know that they're not making a profit.

  • You don't need a provider-specific Docker container. Gluetun (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) supports a lot of providers, but you can use any provider through a custom config.

  • If you're going the Docker router, I'd run separate Docker containers rather than an all-in-one. You get the same functionality, but you can route more than one app through the VPN.

    Create a Gluetun container to use for the VPN, then have other containers configured to use the Gluetun container as their network.

    All you need to do for the other containers is use network_mode: "service:gluetun" if you're using docker-compose, or --network=container:gluetun in the Docker command line otherwise.

    https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/connect-a-container-to-gluetun.md

    Works great in Unraid especially, since the option to route a container's network through another container is available in the Unraid UI.

  • I'm from Australia and I don't think I ever saw a flat ribbon cable there. The RF cables in Australia mostly use Belling-Lee connectors (that you just push in) rather than F-type like in the USA (that you screw in), and that's been a standard since the 1920s, so I don't think there's anything that predates it in Australia.

    Australia does use F connectors for cable internet, but that's mostly a legacy network now.

    Edit: Apparently Australia did use them and I'm just not old enough lol

  • I don't recognize this... Is it some sort of RF switch for connecting a computer or game system to a TV while still passing through the antenna signal? Why does it have two cables coming out the side?

  • Super IO does still use interrupts as far as I know. The PS/2 protocol is interrupt-driven, so it's not possible to use a PS/2 keyboard or mouse without interrupts.

  • IMO it makes more sense to rip and download music than movies. Music is small files that you listen to dozens or hundreds of times, whereas movies are large files that you might only watch once or twice.

    labeling and tagging each track, and sorting them into a properly named folder structure

    You need to do the same thing for movies and TV shows though.

    Lidarr will do this for you, mostly automated.

    To rip CDs, I use abcde ("a better CD encoder") on Linux. It automatically tags the tracks based on CDDB or Musicbrainz data.

    There's probably a basic app that'll move it to the right directory structure, but I find Lidarr pretty easy to use. I copy the album across to my server, then in Lidarr I add the relevant album then click the button to manually import it, and point it to the right folder. Lidarr will automatically sort it into the right directory structure. I have it configured to use the structure that Plex wants - folders per artist, then folders per album inside those.

    That's assuming it has data on Musicbrainz. For MP3/FLAC files from albums that aren't on Musicbrainz, it's a bit trickier. I sometimes use kid3 (KDE audio tagger) as it can pull from other sources like Discogs and Amazon.
