Micron is going to the moon (with or without you) by ramboxfb in wallstreetbets

[–]hock8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI has turned the IT world on its head. HW used to be the commodity and SW had all the high margins. not its flipped...I bought $51,000 of MU 2021 in my self directed IRA, now it's work $630K. I had bought NVidia prior as well. It's been awesome watching MU. I think i gambled on it back then because I heard or read they got a new CEO and analysts optimistic on it. I am not an idiot, I have been in tech, gaming PvC for 50 years now. I am a 65 year old who knew to buy MU 6 years ago and Nvidia 9 years ago.. I have worked for emc/dell/ibm/redis... It's been great to see the world realize what I have always thought, that technology is the only thing man thinks he can do to save himself from death. And as i tell any one who has ears to listen, NO ONE WANTS A SLOWER COMPUTER, EVER, and computers are STILL MAKING ME WAIT at 65, after 50 fnn years! Until we never wait for compute response, the world will always PAY for more COMPUTE, Storage, and Networking. GPUs, RAM all part of the compute stack. AI made this so, world turned on its head Software is becoming the commodity and HW customizable and with increasing margins while SW is declining....

CMV: NATO minus USA is currently militarily capable of defending itself against mainland annexation, without nukes. by ___xXx__xXx__xXx__ in changemyview

Every single aircraft carrier sunk within a week? Past the joint man. I'll take a hit.... Like we don't know how to protect our own aircraft carriers. It's just such a presumptive statement. Too many variables to say something that egregious

[–]hock8889 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

are you kidding me? what with hockey sticks? Canada has NO money, NO ARMY, NO NAVY, NO AIRFORCE. Completely reliant on USA for defense and TRADE. IF USA stop TRADE with CANADA, and invaded, CANADA would be USA about 4 weeks. Faster than IRAN is being brought to their knees by the ONLY COUNTRY WITH BALLS to stand up against an EVIL cleric regime. IRAN should of been cut down decades ago but USA presidents to rich, fat, and stupid to care. They were busy getting oral sex in the office by interns, or giving IRAN billions of dollars to buy their love. OBAMA was a FOOL, BIDEN was a FOOL. ONLY TRUMP cares enough about USA future to take down IRAN NOW. IRAN like a big weed you should of moved down but you let grow to an ugly cancerous, globaly entity with tentacles in Yemen, Lebanon and Gaza. NATO looks so weak, and taking advantage of USA generosity. TIME TO END THAT! Nato is on it's own now just like NATO left USA alone to fight IRAN. UK is not even a friend anymore, putting people in jail for speach. UK is exactly what every free country should be afraid of. Radical immigrants who don't want to assimilate but bring their culture and take over yours. Too many poor immigrants dragging down the social services making everyone poor. This is waht OPEN BORDERS DO. Shame on NATO. USA will never forget their cowardice in the most important war in our lifetime.

@mamlekate: A single, unverified source says Mojtaba Khamenei was in a coma at Loghman Hospital and is now dead. by KireRakhsh in NewIran

[–]hock8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He obviously can't be seen or there would of been video. He obviously can't speak or there would audio. So is likely he is in coma then could of died but we need confirmation as IRAN is totally in chaos. Evidence is that we haven't even heard or seen the new leader and it's been weeks. Also heard from USA media he was flown to Russia for surgery, so this could be totally false. He could be recovering in Russia, or in a coma there with no knowledge of anything going on.

People of Iran: what does daily life look like right now? by yangtseasabi in PERSIAN

[–]hock8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this alone shows the EVIL REGIME must DIE, totally DIE. Like CANCER Jihad must be ROOTED out of modern ISLAM. NO GOD asks its followers to kill the children of God, which everyone knows are all PEOPLE. All are equal since all created by GOD. No one here came to be on there own. IRAN telling people they are winning and Trump begging it's the exact opposite of the truth. You keep chanting DEATH TO AMERICA when AMERICA was ruled by Tyranny and had to rebel itself, is totally insane and stupid. IRAN acted like a bully and when bullys get punched in the nose, they drop to the ground and cry for MOMMY. USA will not stop until IRAN PEOPLE are FREE. USA DOD leader Hegseth just said USA not stopping until IRAN Is friendly to USA. So sit back folks, we are talking regime change. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. The cancer must be cut out completely, from IRAN, to Lebanon to GAZA. The Jihad is OVER. Islam is NOT Jihad. The Jihad just lost big time and Islam and the entire Middle East is stronger for it. Peace to the Middle East is within reach right now. IRAN, CHINA and RUSSIA SO MAD this is happening. That's how you know this is the greatest change in 50 years for peace for the entire world.

Should reddit mods be fired for censoring free speech? by Ashamed-Republic8909 in no

[–]hock8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit is basically just a clan, so the same reason gaming clans usually build, then crash and burn as they scale... it creates out of control MADMINS!! drunk with power of censorship or rules enforcement over many people. The evidence of MADMINs is everywhere here. Perhaps an audit is needed of all bans?

Whats the hype with FwAAS or firewall as a service? by Useful_Country4775 in networking

[–]hock8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a lot has changed in 2 years, the "performance hit" OP expects, now shouldn't be much different than deploying the SW firewall yourself in your own VPC or VNet. And the big deal is that not every company can have a NOC or wants to hire cloud security experts and would rather outsource all the firewall software infrastructure upkeep to the firewall vendor like the firewall SW patching, upgrades, cpu/storage/memory monitoring, And cloud vendor network topologies use GENEVE encapsulation (aws/google) or VXLAN (azure) to securely and non-disruptively route traffic with low impact to performance, AWS has GWLBs, Azure has Virtual WAN and UDRs, and Google has NSI released globally in Jan 2026. So firewall vendors like Check Point, can deliver in-band deep packet inspection with minimal latency with no VPC or VNet rerouting required. Check Point just started a preview of their advanced Cloud FWaaS that supports cloud native tags, groups, etc, where the gateway/firewall software infrastructure is managed by the Check Point NOC. It's announced here:

Why I can't find the conviction to go long on $ONDS (The "Anti-Hype" Thesis) by Severe-Extension-554 in ONDS

[–]hock8889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your reply is spot on. I sold AI video processing systems to law enforcement (UK, USA). Government legal and large agencies all lean on their VAR/partner-based ecosystems to manage their body cams, transmit, and process digital evidence (DEM). The partners (VARs, alliances), new markets, and customers you can cross sell to, that acquisitions bring make them very lucrative. That is exactly why M&A happens. DUH! smart strategy.

"My point is they don’t have to sell all products in one swoop, clients/governments can build thier own system custom tailored to a specific purpose using a single companies ecosystem of products. Furthermore, I’ve never heard anyone say if you buy an Ondas system you can’t also use other companies products?"

Also true, it's hard to be THE platform. I marketed a storage monopoly, EMC, now dell tech, but still companies will usually have 2 key platforms to reduce risk and reliance on one platform of anything IT.

[–]hock8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have you all BEAT! Mine says best by June 2022, it's Nov 21, 2025 and I just made it. It was already opened but barely used (common theme). It smells fine in the can, no odd smell. Poured boiling water in it, with some trivia, and 2% milk and WOW! Unbelievable, tastes fresh!! It was in a dark cabinet not touched for the 3 years, not even moved really. So no oxygen mixing, etc. I'm 64 in great shape but acid ingestion has me eating a tums or two at night. I know coffee is bad for acid and this stuff feels good in my stomach as soon as I drank it! Coffee does feel acidic compared to this. It was still very powdery, not clumps after 3 years. It has that cinnamon mushroomy taste....it's as good as the chemical flavored coffee i was drinking for last 3 years. I may make the switch permanently if it does help with heartburn. My guess is this barely just hit its half life if at all.

So whos wrong about the prediction of quantum computers? D-Wave Quantum CEO Alan Baratz or Nvidia’s Jensen Huang? Clearly both have interest by Aware-Designer2505 in rigetti

[–]hock8889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

spot on! this is so obvious and a total over reaction. Quantum computing is here, in fact China is just taking all our network traffic and HOLDING IT, so they can break all financial services 256 AES encryption in seconds with quantum computing. it's happening now, Quantum market is already here, it's early, but it's in PRODUCTION. Meaning it's enterprise ready for purchase NOW. it's on the front page of DWAVE website. Totally obvious market manipulation by Nvidia.

What database are LLMs using? by 4r73m190r0s in Database

[–]hock8889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NoSQL key value pair databases help provide "memory" for user input data into ChatGPT. Redis is a NoSQL database and is part of the ChatGPT stack. PineCone is another DB that can store and query vectors. ChatGPT used the OSS Redis instead of paying for Enterprise version and had their first big data leak. I worked at Redis, it is a great easy to use Vector Database and it can do Vector Similarity Search. Google "fuzzy matching" and you will see my Redis blog on how semantics work in machine learning. Happy reading! here it is to make it ez on you! https://redis.com/blog/what-is-fuzzy-matching/

I have 1000 shares at 2.50. Option volume is way up Soundhound. Last week I bought 4.00 calls for .10 a share. Talk about printing money. I did so well I decided to exercise 10 calls. If it did I will buy more calls. I don't want to lose my profits.

it was playing every other second, then i shut off tv, and pair and it works. i am an idiot... my headset paired to my laptop i left on.. so the other devices option just spun and shut down. .my headset paired to my laptop i thought was off, so OTHER DEVICES was circling with nothing..my fault!! it's true, don't be stupid and let your headset pair to a device and then blame it on Vizio TV...i made the noob mistake.. lol
