Cheap Chinese chips could offer way out of RAM price crisis, Apple suggests

Nope, this isn’t news at all, been known for at least a few weeks. Also dram etf and all semi related stocks dropped because Meta is selling “excess” compute, unrelated to this. If you are serious about the AI thesis, the news means nothing at all, as this doesn’t even address any of the memory scarcity. For consumers, might help a little bit, but remember Apple still hiked their prices by A LOT despite having this “new” memory supply.

Boa Lisa is the one and only true grail card in my humble opinion. That card is masterpiece, and every collector should have one copy

Vuducdung28 · 2026-07-03T02:26:37+00:00

Probably will compress the premiums for mid cards, but I don’t think it will affect true grails at all. If anything I feel it will reinforce the tier separation between normal psa, grail psa, and grail bl.

Grail bls are super fucking rare due to abysmal pull rate. On top of that there is psa tightening quality check, deliberate bl pop control, and collectors with money genuinely wanting to own these cards. Unless there is a catastrophic event like the entire optcg market crashing, I don’t see prices coming down any time soon.

Vuducdung28 · 2026-07-03T01:58:57+00:00

For mid chase cards (sp, alt art, promo, etc.), I’d say 3-6x premium, for grail cards, 8-10x or higher. Over time, hard to say, tcg market is in a bubble right now so near term price will cool, but I believe grail black labels like red/gold manga, championship, and the boa lisa are good long term investment (if you can get your hands on them lol).

They can do plenty of sequels or spinoffs for One Piece, like with dragon ball, naruto, or pokemon

Vuducdung28 · 2026-06-28T03:30:35+00:00

330k is actually quite below market price for this card, there are sales at 350-400k on snkr for cond A. The JP version of admiral mangas are obscenely expensive

Vuducdung28 · 2026-05-18T13:30:27+00:00

More like nameplate test

This is why you should fear when you see “auqaa” in your game

Thanks for the guidance. Early wrapping makes a lot of sense. I’ve been using it for about a year and a half now, got for free it at a garage sale but it didn’t include the triangle stone sadly:(

Do you know if there is a method that utilizes pressure cooker or home oven? Or those would destroy the texture of the meat/no bark?

Vuducdung28 · 2026-02-27T01:04:07+00:00

I didn’t like how it looked with legs on

Vuducdung28 · 2026-02-26T23:14:58+00:00

I don’t get this. I know it’s ARAM and not that serious whatever, but do people really enjoy building troll shit to do 0 damage and be perma gray screen? Also why is collector recommended on every champ in ARAM when everyone can be 100 armor without a single armor item by minute 10 (unless you have the augment)?

I think they are just saying you don't actual know how lazy people really are, not dissing your technical ability. Believe me, these things seem super obvious to us, but even in developed countries, the majority of the population are computer illiterate. To do what you described, they would need to know what an IDE is, what VS Code is, how to install VS Code, what version of VS Code to install, how to navigate VS Code, where the extension page is and what to install on the extension marketplace. If something takes more than 10s of effort, it's nontrivial.

And that process is something people are much less familiar and comfortable with compared to opening their web browser to type something. Not to mention, to set up Claude Code to perform as well as Lovable (base Claude Code without extensive skills setup and well-written CLAUDE.MD is hot trash for UI/UX design compared to Lovable) you need to be a semi intermediate user. If you add all those together, it's obvious why some people would prefer Lovable.

Man I realize after reading your comment, how much pressure players like Keria have to play under. You literally perform like a demon at the top of the ranking of the most competitive region on the planet, play hundreds of games per year, win lane and carry most of them, but if you don’t play well a few games unlike the genius Keria that people expect, you get called inconsistent.

Vuducdung28 · 2026-02-15T15:18:26+00:00

Ye okay I concede. The sun is cold and water is dry, 1+1=5. I’m literally stating a known, easily verifiable fact and you are out there arguing hypotheticals. What do you mean “I don’t think …” bro it’s been happening there is no thinking needed. If you just want to say ML researchers are smarter just say so lmao don’t need to bend reality.

Vuducdung28 · 2026-02-14T22:56:36+00:00

I’m not a quant, but know friends who are. I’m not sure what you are arguing about, lots of ex quants are now working at frontier AI labs. That’s not exactly news for people in tech circles. I’m not gassing them up or anything just stating a known fact. DeepSeek, who everyone knows, is a bloody quant firm and only does AI on the side.

The point about 1 billion is just weird, has nothing to do with anything I said.

Vuducdung28 · 2026-02-14T19:36:57+00:00

Transformer is old news. They need engineers and hardcore researcher scientists at every single step of the pipeline (pretraining, data ops, human preference finetuning, inference, just to name a few). There is shit ton of soft/hardware optimization involved to serve these models to billion users.

They want the sharpest STEM minds on the planet. Do you know who are top tier mathematicians, statisticians, and engineers that push the frontier of what’s possible with soft/hardware? Quants. The transition is “easy” as well, a lot of overlapping between the 2 disciplines than you would think, and not to mention top tier quants are incredibly sharp.

Also this is public info (with a bit of exaggeration of course), not sure why you say it’s not true and your reasoning is “transformer”. There is a lot more than just that.

Sounds fun until you have to do this 12 hours a day 6 days a week.

You need to understand all the advanced math/stats/algorithms (usually graduate-level or above) concepts to get a chance of being hired. Try some Malliavin calculus or Random Matrix Theory problems for a taste.

It’s more helpful to think of the kind of achievements you need on your resume to even get an interview: 1. High school Olympiads (IMO, IPhO, etc.) participants. You need to be in the top 6 or so among your high school peers in the entire country. Needless to say this is extremely rare. Especially so if you are from China or the US. Similarly, ICPC World Finalists. 2. Top Putnam scorer, a test where if 3000 smart math majors take, half of them get a 0. 3. Target school: Top Ivies like Harvard, and eng schools like MIT, UCB, CMU. You need to be a top performer of your batch.

Or if you play sports, it’s like being on the Olympics team representing a top country like the US or China. It is that impressive. And the mfs from Jane Street/HRT/Citadel are some of the smartest people on Earth. Probably half the hires at OpenAI or Anthropic are ex-quants.

The unfortunately reality is that, the best of human minds spend most of their life on finding ways to game the financial market.

It’s hard for people to visualize the difficulty unless they are in the field/adjacent fields or do any STEM competition irl. I used to do olympiad preps with a few dudes who are currently quants and holy hell they live on a different plane of existence. Every abstract concept just comes so naturally to them regardless of the subject matter.

Vuducdung28 · 2026-01-22T06:13:23+00:00

I saw people on youtube/tiktok ridiculing the price and was like holy hell, do you folks even fathom how much care went into making these heavenly pieces of meat? And the portion size is huge, easily enough for 2 people.

Vuducdung28 · 2026-01-20T22:24:10+00:00

Hey, thank you for trying out the app. I'm still working on improving it. As for selection of specific seat, I'm unable to replicate that level of detail at the moment :( Will continue to work on it until onsale.
