  • I had everything in my cart.

    I was waiting for Black Friday.

    I get an alert saying the RAM in my cart was unavailable.

    I’m thinking, okay, maybe they’re out of white RAM, I’ll just do black.

    The $200 kit in my cart was now $1,200, but worse yet, everything but the slowest RAM was out of stock.

    I decided, fuck this, fuck them, and I bought everything but the RAM.

    A few days later, I told my friend my troubles, he says: “DUDE! I HAVE SPARE DDR5 in my closet!”

    I tell him: “I will pay for shipping, fair value of the RAM, and 20% extra for your trouble”

    The moral of this story is fuck these greedy bastards, you can train your 10T models but please leave gamers alone; they are a tiny % of the demand for DRAM chips.

    P.S: Pay the kindness forward, help your fellow friends with any spare parts


  • Nope. A couple of them have been built and they’re just sitting there unpowered

    Imagine you had infinite money and no consequences

    I mean you could like— build entire city size data centers right?

    But this infinite money goes away if you’re not building them

    So your choices are to build something that you don’t need or to have no money

    You see, humans were not very evolved or adapted to their planet, given their own social structures












  • I had this exact, acute thought as I was going up the sweaty people filled stairs into a rave hall.

    “What the hell am I doing” and also: “Would I do this if I were 53?”

    I looked down at my hard abs and skin-tight shirt and had a bit of a Zen moment, thinking: “Youth is wasted on the young. You’re young. Enjoy this opportunity.”

    I was 21, I danced and partied my heart out that night and I regret nothing.
