Alarmist silliness. If it's a bubble prices will drop. If it isn't production will adapt.
J. Keynes
He was specifically criticising this "the market will regulate itself after a while" attitude. Nice for you to have a big enough safety net, bot not everybody does.

And in the process of doing so they're providing a hugely valuable service by building these complex systems out of lots different components, and people and companies find a lot of value in that service. Calling this "scalping" is just economically illiterate conspiracy theorizing.
The majority of these companies have long term purchase agreements for hardware at prices far lower than the market prices today, that's front-running the hardware market, the same as scalpers buying up GPU's to restrict supply and then sell at higher prices. > And in the process of doing so they're providing a hugely valuable service The value is in the hardware itself, the added services aren't essential - just pac…

> Question: are SoCs with on die memory be effected by this? SoCs with on-die memory (which is, these days, exclusively SRAM, since I don't think IBM's eDRAM process for mixing DRAM with logic is still in production) will not be effected. SiPs with on-package DRAM, including Apple's A and M series SiPs and Qualcomm's Snapdragon, will be effected -- they use the same DRAM dice as everyone else.
*affected
It's funky, I get it wrong all the time. Effect and Affect both have noun and verb uses.

*affected
Nah, people are affected, price is effected. It's funky, I get it wrong all the time. Effect and Affect both have noun and verb uses.
Clearly, “affected” is meant above (SoCs with on-die memory are not impacted); “effected” doesn’t make sense in the context (SoCs with on-die memory are not brought about). Prices can be affected just as well as people.

Have the laws of supply and demand been suspended? Capital is gonna pour into memory fabrication over the next year or two, and there will probably be a glut 2-3 years from now, followed by retrenchment and wails that innovation has come to a halt because demand has stalled.
We're not talking about growing tomatoes in your backyard.

Keyboards have had functions that let them play music at the touch of button for decades. Decades later we still don't consider anyone using that function a musician. >actual artists who use AI as a tool to make novel forms and styles of art. writing a prompt lol We don't compare Usain Bolt to Lewis Hamilton when talking about fastest runners in the world. But hey think about how much money you could save on a weddin…
Your reasoning process here is: There is a "demo" button on synthesizers that plays a canned melody, therefore playing canned melodies is all synthesizers can do, therefore nobody that uses a synthesizer is a real musician.
If i commission Michelangelo to paint me a picture that doesn't make me a renaissance artist.

Bleh. I was already sad but I hadn't really thought about that specific impact, I can imagine smaller (read: small to big) VPS providers will be forced to raise prices while meta providers (read: AWS) can probably stomach the cost and eat even more of the market.
Exactly. I was thinking of building my own VPS provider on the pain points of development I felt and my father works in broadband business and has his own office and I was thinking of setting up a very small thing there almost the same hardware-alike of homelabbing But the ram prices themselves are the reason I am forced to not enter this industry for the time being. I have decided right now to save my money for the…
