And a pile of GPUs doesn't really do much good without servers, racks, networking, power, cooling, and a building to house it all in.

And a pile of "servers, racks, networking, power, cooling, and a building to house it all in" doesn't cost 10-20x more than the GPUs.

If that were the case, Cooler Master would be the trillion dollar company, lmao.

If Cooler Master could charge enterprise computing prices for their consumer level gear, they probably would be.

Something like an H100 is definitely a feat of engineering, though.

Nothing prevents Cooler Master from releasing a line of GPUs equally performant and, while at it, even cheaper. But when we measure reality, after the wave function of fentanyl and good intentions collapses ... oh yeah, turns out only nVidia is making those chips, whoops ...

Solve declining populations with this one simple trick!

Population declines in rich countries and increases in poor. Make world poor again and that will resolve the issue! /s

And then what? Does overall opioid use go up? Or do you believe it would stay the same?

Is that the metric we care about? Wouldn't "amount of people dying of opiods" and "amount of people having their lives ruined by opiods" be better ones?

Th way I see it, alcohol issues wouldn't be reduced if you made it illegal and less people drank it, but now people are drinking unregulated moonshine that makes them blind or kills them because it contains methanol and isopropanol.

Like you take a walk to smoke a joint?

Yes; I rent and my lease states there is to be no smoking of anything in the condo.

It's rhetorical. If you said said "the Denver Broncos raped the 49ers last night" you wouldn't be accusing the Broncos of literal sexual assault.

There's a clear contextual difference between a ball game and a bogus arrest. In the latter, he was deprived of his freedom and placed at the mercy of the police with few if any witnesses.

I think there is a non zero chance that big brute of an officer would have raped him in the era before body cams and ubiquitous surveillance

“Pretty easy” lol - could you be any more out-of-touch?

OpenAI may not have a moat, but Microsoft does with their Enterprise Agreements.

I'll speak for myself, but I don't think that the iPhone Mini users that chose the iPhone Mini for it's form factor will switch to Android. Personally, I'm all-in on the Apple ecosystem. I prefer the Mini, but I would chose an iPhone 13 Pro over any Android (large or small).

It is badass.

Maybe $1 badass.

But not $500.
