Careful, “foundries” usually means CPU and maybe GPU. Anything memory related at the moment is just “announced” or “planned”. You could say Micron spent $20B, but that’s global not just US.
Besides Micron no one is planning to build memory fabs in the US.
It’s RAM, they can ramp it up in 2-3 years tops.
They just don’t want to. When they did it last time demand plummeted and we got cheap RAM.
For my 64 GB 6000 CL30 I paid 200€ last year. They don’t want a repeat of that, especially with the Chinese now catching up.
Indie games are better anyway and don’t need much hardware power :)
Luckily Australia is their largest source and they upped the amount. They can also get more shipments from the US.

Meh, I’ve owned an ATI 4870X2, GTX 580, GTX 970, 5700 XT, 3080 and now 5080.
Also helped out friends with their GPUs, 2070 Super, 6800 XT (which have a really shitty fan curve at stock).
The 5700 XT had the worst drivers of the bunch. Crashes, stuttering, … AMD managed to fix most issues with time, but not all.
Nvidia drivers early this year were shit too, but at this point they are great again. I don’t care about the brand, I only care about my PC running well.
???
Of course the game developers choose what to put into their games. Some games have FXAA, TAA, DLSS, FSR and even XeSS.
With an Nvidia card you can use them all. With AMD you can’t use DLSS.
Not sure what your last sentence means, of course your GPU runs AA?
Every time I got an AMD card I got burned, so that’s not really an option. Last try was a 5700 XT and oh my god was that a pain. So much so that instead of my usual 4-5 year upgrade cycle I grabbed a 3080 one year later.
Nowadays DLSS is a must for me, it just looks so much better than TAA. FSR is alright, but not great.
You misspelled being related to the previous CEO or a good friend of theirs.
Someone straight up getting promoted to CEO from below is a bit more rare. They usually have been a CEO somewhere else before that due to relations.
Dude, Arch is a rolling release, it has no dist-upgrade equivalent. You’re not even in the right conversation.
Debian, Ubuntu, … and plenty of other distros have. Just upgrading my server from Ubuntu 22 to 24 (both LTS) took an hour or two of fixing things.
Until you do a dist-upgrade and random shit breaks (:
You do realize that counts as “engagement” which AI companies then use to turn around and get more investor money?
Either use it for actual work or don’t use it at all.
Give me back my Google search from 10 years ago and alright, no need for AI.
Nowadays Google is so unusable that I actually go to Claude first if I need to research something.
The training is sophisticated, but inference is unfortunately really a text prediction machine. Technically token prediction, but you get the idea.
For every single token/word. You input your system prompt, context, user input, then the output starts.

It literally works like that, which sounds crazy :)
The only control you as a user can have is the sampling, like temperature, top-k and so on. But that’s just to soften and randomize how deterministic the model is.
Edit: I should add that tool and subagent use makes this approach a bit more powerful nowadays. But it all boils down to text prediction again. Even the tools are described per text for what they are for.
I’m very satisfied with my S25 so far. But I wanted a smaller phone, not a big fan of the tablet sized monsters people use.
Camera could be a bit better, but it’s decent enough. I’m using the stock ROM, unfortunately if you tinker certain banking and government apps no longer work :-/
The only other option would be an iPhone at that size, which I’m not a fan of.
Though there’s plenty of cheaper mid-range phones nowadays if you want to save some money. Like the OnePlus Nord.
Decent sized for what?
Creative writing and roleplay? Plenty, but I try to fit it into my 16 GB VRAM as otherwise it’s too slow for my liking.
Coding/complex tasks? No, that would need 128GB and upwards and it would still be awfully slow. Except you use a Mac with unified memory.
For image and video generation you’d want to fit it into GPU VRAM again, system RAM would be way too slow.
Sorry, did I misread or did you edit your comment? I might have been half asleep :)
Like were you asking for phone recommendations? If so, what do you mainly use it for, will you use stock ROMs or do you like to mess around with things?
It’s not really that simple. Yes, it’s a great tool when it works, but in the end it boils down to being a text prediction machine.
So a nice helper to throw shit at, but I trust the output as much as a random Stackoverflow reply with no votes :)
You might genuinely be using it wrong.
At work we have a big push to use Claude, but as a tool and not a developer replacement. And it’s working pretty damn well when properly setup.
Mostly using Claude Sonnet 4.6 with Claude Code. It’s important to run /init and check the output, that will produce a CLAUDE.md file that describes your project (which always gets added to your context).
Important: Review everything the AI writes, this is not a hands-off process. For bigger changes use the planning mode and split tasks up, the smaller the task the better the output.
Claude Code automatically uses subagents to fetch information, e.g. API documentation. Nowadays it’s extremely rare that it hallucinates something that doesn’t exist. It might use outdated info and need a nudge, like after the recent upgrade to .NET 10 (But just adding that info to the project context file is enough).
Weirdly the markets no longer seem to care. Strait is closed? Meh, new all time high.
No clue what is going on.
