Bit of a milestone reached this last weekend. Sitting at 140 ish books completed during the streak, not quite a book per week.
Reading streak banner in my book app. 

"1,000 days of daily reading. You're in a league of your own." 

1000 days in a row

On the other hand, I would not get the satisfaction of declining near as often if they learn that.

I've been doing networks for a long time and never saw this issue until about a year ago, and last week it even happened for a new current gen server my team installed. Really not impressed with newer network adaptors.

You think these rogue AI intrusions are bad now? So far it's been the equivalent of unauthorized 'Read' access. Soon, it will be unauthorized 'Write' access, and then chaos will really kick us in the teeth. Leaks are bad, but changing our data will be far worse.

And it's exhausting. The articles often have good info, but the now recognizable style and tone is long, overly wordy, with shorter sentences and a clipped tone. And no matter who's posted the articles, in news, blogs, etc, they all feel like they were written by a first year English major.

I've been reading all my life. I'm comfortable with thousands of writing styles. Lately tho I've sensing a common new pattern of structure in writing, for now mostly in articles, and it's all the same, but by different writers... And I'm calling it, more independent writers are now using LLMs.

The content is likely all true, but the text reads like AI.

Pumpkin the orange cat, very stubbornly staying on my lap for a long cuddle while I work. He's glaring at the camera because I've distracted him.  In the background my desk and keyboard are visible.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Anyway, your articles are very interesting, but I was curious if the other component cost was considered beyond CPUs.

R Sitze @rd.sitze.net · 24/09/2026
Granted these servers need a lot of ram, and I have no idea what AI blades are speced at, but I'm under the impression the AI models need a lot.
120
R Sitze @rd.sitze.net · 24/09/2026
Example, a recent order had the GPUs at nearly half what the ram alone cost, and flash storage costs were double the ram. Meanwhile CPU prices have not moved much in the last year at our level.
121
R Sitze @rd.sitze.net · 24/09/2026
Not sure if you factored in the inflated costs of flash high speed storage and RAM, which are now nearly as expensive as the GPUs. Given what servers my company orders today cost, and how that cost is broken down, it's a question on my mind when I ponder your numbers.

I get being privacy minded, but some of that does not at all match my interpretation of Canon (played the games). But I've not yet read the book so it's unfair for me to judge.

apropos of nothing in particular
[PANEL 1 - Sam and Freddy chatting]

Sam: I'm meeting with the writers about the new documentation project.

Freddy: Why do we need writers? Can't AI do that?


[PANEL 2 - Closeup on Sam, and they are scowling]

Sam: Where do you think AI gets its writing from?
