there we go
I did get to that point because I kept watching
from the timestamp you posted
Also, apparently Rob moved
still in Toronto or no idea?
it takes a long time for my transcription thing to parse long videos
but I'll skip through
nice
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Polar, I'm not shilling when I say this I really don't think many people appreciate how overpowered AI are at coding now
While im "anti-ai" I do think its good and people who are whole heartedly against it are retarded
but r u an ant ai
loll
It's weird how companies are so cavalier "wasting" bandwidth, and then will also desperately conserve minor amount of it in really annoying ways
see, .webp's existing
bandwidth realistically is free up until the point of abuse, and everything up until actual DDOSing should be fine

It's free if you own all the hardware involved and are big enough to get fee-free peering. If you're paying some middleman for a port or for transit per Mbit it's very expensive.
I'm more saying fundamentally
the reason peering is for-profit at all is because early providers wanted to be paid be governments for owning the infrastructure, there's no real cost at the BGP layer why a cost is incurred, even when transiting networks/ISPs/countries
and (not to give an exact %) but peering income is trivial at this point for all providers, it's not how they actually make money anymore
there's more to what we're "paying for" beyond the peering itself true
but actual swtiching throughput (physical or logical) isn't a real bottleneck
CDNs want to exist and will charge for it to make money, but it's not really costing them anything
I think my point is sort of that, we've decided that these free things cost money, so that companies can make money
but when you scale that up and start talking about services like Twitch, which will have millions of simultaneous open connections with outbound data
them throttling the throughput of those connections (by dropping the video/audio HLS streams) is saving zero real money, it's all paper savings
Replying to mtcdood #mtcdood Once one of those big companies that don't have to pay these fees decide "I could make some money off this free resource" everyone downstream gets punished.
I do agree with this to a point though, if you suddenly made bandwidth free odds are you'd have Network abuse, even if I can't predict the exact form it would take
How the new guy found the server lmao
Whoever this is. I am NOT spooky
Amazing
you can tell which server theme existed
naw it's fine Pika, you can be me
You've never seen us in the same room together
no this is 2 months ago on r/mindcrackdiscussions
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 he still owns wittywizard.com and urealms.com
hes still paying for wittywizard...
I know he let some of his meme domains go, but it would be hard to part with your old domains
but then again, I'm the outlier, because I see SOOO many people release their domains for nothing when a project ends
which then immediately become AI slop websites
at ~$10/year you can just keep paying the fucking domain
remember spooky
Rob overpays
since you pay 10k a year for yours
he overpays for hosting, domains are sorta a fixed cost
I am sure he found a way to overpay for the domain too
GoDaddy domain protection ultra
wtf
I was kidding
lol
The only thing I can assume is they lock all similar domains
Max, do you think he pays $5/month for this?
>expired unexpectedly
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Max, do you think he pays $5/month for this? (edited)
no
I need someone with an opinion to weigh in
do you like when transcriptions have uh's and um's in them
