Tesla is a meme stock in a similar manner to GME. You cannot bet against them even if they have incredibly unsure future prospectives because there are too many believers who will buy any dips.

Ah yes, OpenAI is sharding now. Surprise surprise. I mentioned that as a right solution to the problem last time they posted about Postgres performance issues: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44072645 But the response

You definitely cannot do it all at once, all you can do is what China and India are doing, which is to slowly sell US treasuries over many years. China used to hold $1.3T of US treasuries but they now only hold just under $0.7T, thus about

Are they using a custom dictionary with Brotli designed for PDFs? I am not sure if it would help or not, but it seems like one of those cases it may help? Something like this: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/shared-d

Thank you! I've gotten definitely returned inventor when I thought I was buying new from a vendor. The equipment was defective. Also buying anything returned from Amazon is a crap shot because there is so much return fraud going on.
