Yes, you want to do more IPC, its basically linear with the increase in performance. So the amount of overhead stays the same basically. At least in IPC benchmarks and those tend to be important. Making that fast is fundamental to any OS.

Capex for countries isn't really that big of a problem. You can raise lots of capital for long term, a proper investment should increase land values (or property values). Generally societies that invest a lot of capex in high capacity

If large corps see the value and build whole data-centers with oxide racks, a few large costumers alone can be huge. I suspect part of this raise has to with Antropic using Oxide at pretty large scale. If its really true that things will mo

I don't think that's true. Oracle just came in with clearly higher price then anybody else was willing to even consider. They could also have fired a lot of people and likely survived. But the CEO clearly had no interest in that p

IBM stuff is likely to expensive and optimized for different things. Same for the other Post-Mainframe stuff. You would pay for a lot of stuff you don't need, and there is a reason very few new costumers adopt it. Oxide costumers want

Preempted the blog post. Man, they are just sucking up capital. If somebody like Antropic has made them the primary 'CPU' rack, then that's they kind of cash you need. I mean, you could probably get multiple GIGAbytes of RAM

Your point is so fucking pointless, meaningless and pedantic. People are not 'hung up' on it. Its just an irrelevant fucking point that has no practical meaning and you keep repeating it as if it had any relevance what so ever.

Refueling and moon mission is not primary motivation, Starlink and so on are. You would likely have called it naive to try to develop reusability in the first place. Yes its harder. But they also have a much, much bigger team. They have an

Yeah so you just don't actually understand the economics. The thing is, unless you massively increase the volume of Falcon 9, you are not going to get it that much cheaper. Its already incredibly cheap given that its made out of fancy

I think one important point to stress, is yes SpaceX advantage is reusability, but even when Falcon 9 was not reusable is was utterly dominating the market and was far cheaper then anything else. It was developed cheaper with less capital a

These are their normal prices, its actually reasonable cheap for military launch. And they have a fantastic margin on Falcon 9, at least 50% likely more.

Man if only SpaceX had IPO without all the xAI crap attached to it. Then it might actually be worth looking into. I wanted to invest in SpaceX for a long time but now its laughably overvalued.

I disagree. All these things are pretty needed. They had a lot of other projects ongoing that they spent time one, like full time developers for VR and a bunch of other things. But overall its just a tricky thing to run a project like this.
