Still. I will happily take a company with some moral fiber over one with none when it comes to this AI race to the bottom.
Not saying Anthropic are the good guys here (there are none IMHO) but they are clearly trying to be the “less bad guys”.
Honestly, in a properly designed WiFi6 or 7 network with sufficient ap density the average user experience will likely be better than most end station wired connections these days. Especially if that wired network includes a bunch of these bad boys.
This is a very cheap network switch that serves as a great example of shadow IT happening in most companies. Because they were cheap and just about any computer store had them in stock, it was generally faster for an employee who had ran out of network ports to run out and grab one of these than to request proper network upgrades from the IT department. Sadly, because they are not very fast and lack features needed to prevent network disruption due to misconfigured wiring, they cause lots and lots of headaches for the IT team over time.
A good starting point to learn about physical networking would probably still be to grab a recent set of Cisco CCNA prep books and give those a read.
The old adage “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution” still applies.
If the business relies on the availability of the thing that’s receiving a temporary fix, you can be your ass someone, somewhere, is declining the downtime to fix it properly once it’s up and running.
Yeah, you’re right. I was looking at the fin layout, but forgot to check the mounting system.
Your pixels to text capabilities are clearly superior to mine. I stand corrected.
I am 90% sure this is an Intel system judging by the cooler.
Oh, I am not saying they’re not still opportunistic money-chasers. Hence the comment about there not being any good AI companies. To me though, their reluctance on some topics and honest admissions on the capabilities of their AI make it appear that they less happy to throw all principals overboard in the race to win the AI market than the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Musk.
