My problem isn't the affairs, but more so the potential complicity in violating the embargoes against some of his products going to China. I don't necessarily agree that the embargo is a good idea, but as long as its the law, we need to have a level playing field and not let companies benefit from breaking the law.

I think the prices would always skyrocket in Sweden in the winter - y'all use about 1.7x as much electricity in the winter as you do in the summer, and that's gonna cost you.

Jensen might be the best person to lead NVidia at the moment, but that doesn't mean that NVidia dominating the market and being able to demand gigantic margins is a good thing for the overall economy.

What are the implications if up to 15% of revenue was "fake"? The investors have been pricing Nvidia based on demand and revenue from (most places except for China). Since it turns out that it was actually (most places including China), doesn't that imply the market is actually smaller than they thought? Can buyers sue because they paid increased prices for their products due to sanction breaking by Nvidia?

The Chinese spy who he was having sex with and probably helping break export controls and smuggle Nvidia tech into China through singapore is probably a bigger deal than this one

Which could result in congressional investigations or worse, a tightening of export controls.

Looking at their benchmarks, it's actually a better model than OpenAI and Jev (which in the same evals is worst than Jev?).

Looking at anyone's benchmarks, they're all better than each other.

Why is that important to you? Seems a bit twitchy.

Mostly curiosity whether openAIs relative speed is more innovative and can pump out new products faster, or if they are playing fast and loose

It’s just the difference between the kind of companies they are. For Google, being a couple of months behind in something like this is completely insignificant. Google doesn’t need to compete on that basis. Their customers for this sort of product are almost all enterprises, who aren’t rushing to use the latest new thing.

You put them up there so you get a voltage boost from the gravity pushing the electricity down. Put the generators on the ground floor, and by the time the electricity reached the top, there would be a voltage drop.

Factoring in gravity isn't good physics or engineering. Gravity's effect is negligible in a generator placement in a skyscraper

I think it was a joke?

Something something sarcasm can neither be created nor destroyed

No joke - have you ever tried to siphon electricity? Can't do it more than 35 feet or so. You'll be boiling off your electrons into a plasma by the time you get to that height.

Carrying the diesel fuel up 18 flights of stairs also enhances its potential energy. About 47 Joules per foot.

You get out of it what you put into it. ;)

Imagine a world without this, where nothing was hamstrung and there was only one price point instead of a hamstrung low price and a nonhamstrung high price.

That one price would be somewhere between the low price and the high price. So, the world you want to live in would be one where "the poor" who currently pay the low price would need to pay more. And "the rich" would get a discount from their high price they pay currently. That seems morally repugnant beyond words.

The margins are irrelevant here. If Nvidia sold them for the exact cost of manufacturing, people would just scoop them up and re-sell them to the highest bidder. So in the case of 0% margin, some useless middle-man would get to profit.

That's because you view those activities as separate from your "normal" life, and those events for you are so short that you can put your entire life on hold to do them

What would you do if you went camping 5x as much?

4 customers make up a majority of nvidias revenue
