How many racks are they selling? Is that 50% of their revenue? 10%? How sustainable will that be? I understand AI will probably continue to grow, but can they continue cornering such a market with 55% margins? Fortunately, I opted to pivot

Time for some grossly oversimplified back-of-the-proverbial-envelope value crunching! I’ll assume the average GPU price, for the sake of argument, is $1000. Let’s also assume their per-unit profit margin is roughly 30% (I found conflicting

The idea that finally clicked with me came from a narrated meditation session in the app “Headspace”. I think it’s probably a common metaphor, but it’s the only place I had encountered it: Imagine your mind is a highway, and your thoughts a

Assuming for the sake of argument this were a real service checking for matches, the chances of a hash collision with SHA256 is effectively 0.[1] I entered the limit for BIGINT (9223372036854775807), and the approximation of the probability

What about my initial comment is incorrect? Edit: Fun fact, I cannot edit my original comment. But over-zealous flaggers seem to have taken care of it on my behalf. Unclear as to what about that comment deserved flagging, I guess raising co
