Trading like forecasting cannot be evaluated. They could be right in a different reality. We just experience one realization of the uncertainty.

Perfect example is the simplex algorithm. We do have a polynomial algorithm for linear programming yet simplex (with exponential worst case performance) is our tool of choice.

Each of the hyperscalers has put like 250B each in the last year for infra. That means that they need to be writing AI profits to the tune of 20B per year just to keep up with the cost of the cash they burned. We are not there. But they b

2 years ago I stated that we should stop worrying about software consuming a lot of ram. I had just built my pc with 128gb of ddr5 ram spending less than an average android phone (I think like $300). I would like to retract that statement.

For my home office I started experimenting with a 4k60” TV far away from my desk. For some reason I like it more than my 6k32”retina setup I have at my work.

Apart from the specs of a cable is there a way to verify the signal quality of a cable? I have lost many days trying to debug random hardware issues and the final answer was to just replace a cable.

Realistically EA will never financially recover from this in its current form. Likely they will carve out 1-2 portions of it they can resell and the rest will die.

Regular people have less real disposable income than before, and risky financial products can only conceal the truth for a certain period. Eventually, the truth will emerge, possibly with the collapse of the auto subprime loans and the car

In south Europe it has been the case for like 20 years. The answer is simple. Businesses don’t pay enough. People prefer cutting expenses and expectations (nobody in their 30-40s buys a house for example). Businesses cannot find labor or cu
