Off-and-on trying out an account over at @tal@oleo.cafe due to scraping bots bogging down lemmy.today to the point of near-unusability.
I remember when it wasn’t uncommon to buy a prebuilt system and then immediately upgrade its memory with third party DIMMs to avoid paying the PC manufacturer’s premium on memory. Seeing that price relationship becoming inverted is a little bonkers. Though IIRC Framework’s memory-on-prebuilt-systems didn’t have much of a premium.
I also wonder if it will push the market further towards systems with soldered memory or on-core memory.
You can have applications where wall clock tine time is not all that critical but large model size is valuable, or where a model is very sparse, so does little computation relative to the size of the model, but for the major applications, like today’s generative AI chatbots, I think that that’s correct.
Last I looked, a few days ago on Google Shopping, you could still find some retailers that had stock of DDR5 (I was looking at 2x16GB, and you may want more than that) and hadn’t jacked their prices up, but if you’re going to buy, I would not wait longer, because if they haven’t been cleaned out by now, I expect that they will be soon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_(disambiguation)
London Bridge, one of several bridges over the River Thames in central London, England
- London Bridge (Roman times)
- London Bridge (Early medieval times)
- London Bridge (1209) (or “Old London Bridge”)
- London Bridge (1831) (or “New London Bridge”), the replacement for the 1209 London Bridge (see also Lake Havasu City entry below)
- London Bridge (1973), the present-day London Bridge and replacement for the 1831 bridge
It sounds like there’s the old, the very old, the very very old, the new-but-now-old, and the new.

In a sense, I suppose that all of those are London bridges.
It’s crazy how famous London Bridge is
I grew up hearing “London Bridge Is Falling Down” in the US. My guess is that there isn’t an analogous nursery rhyme of comparable fame for London’s other bridges.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_Is_Falling_Down
“London Bridge Is Falling Down” (also known as “My Fair Lady” or “London Bridge”) is a traditional English nursery rhyme and singing game, which is found in different versions all over the world. It deals with the dilapidation of London Bridge and attempts, realistic or fanciful, to repair it. It may date back to bridge-related rhymes and games of the Late Middle Ages, but the earliest records of the rhyme in English are from the 17th century. The lyrics were first printed in close to their modern form in the mid-18th century and became popular, particularly in Britain and the United States, during the 19th century.
The rhyme is often used in a children’s singing game, which exists in a wide variety of forms, with additional verses. Most versions are similar to the actions used in the rhyme “Oranges and Lemons”. The most common is that two players hold hands and make an arch with their arms while the others pass through in single file. The “arch” is then lowered at the song’s end to “catch” a player. In the United States, it is common for two teams of those that have been caught to engage in a tug of war.[2]
I remember doing the arch thing.
Canadian approach: build one’s own London, own Thames, and own Blackfriars Bridge:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfriars_Bridge
Blackfriars Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the River Thames in London, between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge, carrying the A201 road.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London,_Ontario
London is a city in southwestern Ontario, Canada, along the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor. The city had a population of 422,324 according to the 2021 Canadian census. London is at the confluence of the Thames River and North Thames River, approximately 200 km (120 mi) from both Toronto and Detroit; and about 230 km (140 mi) from Buffalo, New York.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfriars_Street_Bridge
Blackfriars Bridge in London, Ontario, Canada is a wrought iron bowstring arch through truss bridge, crossing the North Thames River. The bridge was constructed in 1875 and carries single-lane vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians from Blackfriars Street to Ridout Street North.
American approach:
Buy the actual bridge in London and ship it over.
The “See also” section on that article is bonkers.

Took down Framework’s website, which I was using.
Just keep in mind that the long run trend for storage prices is pretty strongly downwards; that’s a log-scale graph.

XMPP, which someone else listed, is also good if you want a more instant-message-like interface.

Well, one of the two, at any rate.

No problem. Yeah, it’s an invaluable off-site resource that new users don’t get informed about. Indexes all of the Threadiverse instances, whereas any given instance can only search the communities that are local or at least one local user has subscribed to.
I preferred the old one. Think it was clearer what it referred to for people not familiar with the logo.
No. Well, not in the US. Some country somewhere probably has blasphemy law. Not unless you get really confusingly-similar to some trademarked Bible translation, enough that there was risk of confusion. And that’d be trademark law, not copyright.
EDIT: Well, okay. Maybe truth-in-advertising law. Like, if you actively misled buyers to the point that they thought that they were getting something totally different.
It sounds like they don’t have their own translation.

Which translation of the Bible does the Gideons International distribute?
Depending on the language, the most currently accepted translation in the language of the print. As a Gideon since 1994, I have distributed thousands of free New Testament versions and placed hundreds of hotel Bibles. Until recently, the New King James Bible (NKJV) was the most common version in English. It is acceptable to 55% of English speakers, the next highest is the NIV with 19%.

Copyright: The Holy Bible, New King James Version® Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson.
Gideons International, an organization that places Bibles in hotels and hospitals, at one stage used the NKJV translation along with the KJV, offering the KJV as the default translation and offering the NKJV when an organization asked for a Bible in newer English to be used. After HarperCollins’ acquisition of Thomas Nelson, however, the Gideons have chosen to start using the English Standard Version (ESV) instead of the NKJV.[10][11]

If consumers aren’t going to or are much less likely to upgrade, then that affects demand from them, and one would expect manufacturers to follow what consumers demand.
