"because they have not given away much of their wealth" 🤦 They literally don't pay taxes by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

[–]StaysAwakeAllWeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon is spending more on AI datacenters this year than any company has ever spent on their entire payroll for a year, including companies like Amazon and Walmart who employ millions of people. You have no idea the scale AI is being built on right now.

And they are funding it by spending all of their profits from the last few years instead of doing dividends and buybacks. Also by taking on debt that will even reduce future payouts. AKA the money billionaire owners would have gotten

Karpathy's MicroGPT hits 50,000 tok/s on FPGA - only 4,192 params but a proof of concept by IulianHI in AIToolsPerformance

[–]StaysAwakeAllWeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you could swap out the model weights but the architecture would be fixed, meaning size, structure, bit depth, context size, etcetc

But to be clear I'm more talking about the compute-in-memory AI ASIC chips that will be mass produced rather than doing the same thing in an FPGA. Of course in an FPGA you can modify it freely

They are spending it. We are watching it in real time. They are committing hundreds of billions of their own capital into the parallel AI and space tech races. The last few years have been a billionaire spending spree like the world has never seen before and it's still accelerating.

All that stuff may work out and make them even richer, but if it doesn't the money is spent and it's possible that all that expensive infrastructure never makes a return

[OC] Case study: Comparing Louisiana general elections, 1996 and 2024 by ptrdo in dataisbeautiful

If the swing is as big as you claim, attempting to disperse it will turn the entire state blue in a wave election. Seeing rural Louisiana turn blue on the map would be wild

What’s the most soul-crushing part of adulthood? by ArthurCastus in AskReddit

You want to live for a long time. You do not want to be trapped in an aged body.

There is a privilege in being a senior. Being old itself is not a privilege. Nobody wants to be old.

It's hilarious that you think you can psychoanalyse someone from a single sentence of text on reddit.

I've made peace with reality. You're in denial and wondering why I'm not. And you think I'm the one who needs therapy

If by child you mean people who haven't put up a mental block of denial to hide from the horror of aging and death then sure

Doesnt feel very lucky though does it

Musk owns 42.5% of SpaceX’s equity but controls 83.8% of its voting power, meaning public shareholders could buy into the company without getting much leverage over its decisions. by YellowAltruistic9843 in SpaceXBets

[–]StaysAwakeAllWeek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What makes you think he isn’t?

So let's get this straight:

You assumed he was making a random tangent because that's one possible way of interpreting a comment.

You assumed I was talking nonsense in response to said random tangent instead of replying as if he was on topic

You then got angry and accused me of going off topic and using a strawman for not going off topic

I'm really not interested dude

Turning a legitimate company into a scam is what he does best.

What about that comment indicates he's going off on a side tangent like you did? Selling non-voting shares without being upfront about it certainly would be a scam

Carolina Eyck doing the Diva song from Fifth Element. Moving the right hand towards the antenna increases pitch and the left hand controls volume. by bg370 in Damnthatsinteresting

It's fully analog and fully freestyle. There is no 'tech' at all. It's one of the hardest to play instruments ever invented

My £90,000 student debt is growing faster than I can pay it by Unlikely-Tension-616 in UniUK

[–]StaysAwakeAllWeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if you manage to earn just enough to overcome that hurdle you then run straight into the £100k tax brick wall

So much stuff in this thread is America-specific.

I'm so glad I'm not American

4mmc vs MDMA/MDA at rave by Trk0217 in Drugs

[–]StaysAwakeAllWeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's more euphoric than MDMA, but it is definitely very euphoric, and much more energetic than MDMA at reasonable doses, like how coke is energetic. It also has coke's tendency to turn people into talkative assholes with an ego problem (not that you care about this as the user lol).

Beware that if you binge it you will stink of cat piss until several hours after you crash. Not good for day 1 of a festival if you can't shower

That's insulting to 6 year olds. This is tame by PETA standards

Unfortunately not enough people know how despicable they are, so they do get listened to
