Interesting in that it’s not a Cray or a mainframe, chugging megawatts for weeks on end to do the same thing.

And on only 2400 watts too. Impressive.

The ETFs are generally rebalanced once a quarter, so yeah, it really is a big deal when a company enters one of the main indices, and the price starts to move up in anticipation of the listing, then stays up because the ETFs, as you intuit,

You could have doubled your money on Nvidia since January?? Look at the charts for all the evidence you need. There's survivorship bias in all the claims but it's easily done for the survivors.

They’re only mispriced until they’re not though, or they’re priced well until they’re suddenly mispriced. That is the say the market is an evolving system varying on the time axis - that things are mispriced assumes that time isn’t rolling

It’s also just capitalism and fiat currency - in a world where the money supply has to inflate, the prices in the market have to go along with it.

Someone should make an app that flashes “I AM RICH” on the front screen and plays a klaxxon as you walk around Dubai with your Vision Pro.

Why not keep all the electronics and sound card in the house and run a long XLR cable to the microphone? Battery and sound card and preamplifier outdoors to then run a USB cable out to it seems like a bit of a faff.

Maybe people want to be unreachable? HN is one of the safe spaces for those of us from the olden days of the ‘net, before it was real names and total visibility. Anyone who wants to be contacted puts their info in the about box. Those who d

You’ve read Bruce Pascoe? His reputation tarnished or otherwise, Dark Emu was a brilliant book for me.

*could. It seems to have lost the appetite recently, and bankrupted itself with the twenty year war on terror against itself, which it lost.

Thanks for the info. I also just translated it and 330 megabits is around 40 megabytes, so no wonder the cartridges were eye-wateringly expensive back in the late eighties/early nineties.

If it doesn’t come with a cartridge costing several hundred (1980s) pounds, it’s just not a Neo Geo. No wonder it had no patience for flipping mere pennies.

He actually thought I was a maths genius and shouted “Albert Einstein come back” not realising that I just did sqrt(64) in 50 microseconds and then 450 microseconds of schoolboy humour derivation. Probably more like a Feynman approximation

A couple of weeks ago a kid comes up to me on the street carrying a calculator, like a kind of rough kid who for some reason was hanging out with a couple of his friends and enamoured with it, but not the kind of nerdling one would expect t

Totally true but every bone in my body is telling me that this bubble is going to burst in the next 18 months when the current generation of AI reveals its limitations more and more when put into production. But for now, I’m long on Nvidia

In that instance the M1 / M2 Macs aren't exactly a wholly new category of product, just MacBooks in basically the same form as they've been since the Powerbook, but now with an M1 chip. I meant the actual first release of a n

IMO the fact that it's not available around the world (although apparently this is soon about to happen) alongside the high price for a device that still needs to prove that its not a novelty, along with what must be a whopping Bill of

Yeah it was "essentially" a mobile phone that people already understood the value of, particularly because of Blackberry, so it was a potentially improved mobile phone given its touchscreen and interface. It was also a much better

I'm not doubting that he was beyond misfires on a personal level, but that would be accounted for as part of his reality distortion field. He enjoyed firing mortals that weren't him though, and was fairly ruthless about doing it.

Nah, it was about 12-18 months tops. "Never buy the first generation of any Apple product" is a maxim I live by... but they purposefully hamstring the first gen of every product on purpose in order to up the wow on the second gen

I feel like Jobs would be wielding the axe over this, and Tim Cook's head would likely be the one rolling for flubbing the release of the Vision Pro. He's meant to be an expert in logistics and it seems to have been a logistics fa
