    It's perfectly rational to be bootstrappy when there's way more jobs than people, most of them start at pretty decent hourly rates, and labor interests continue pushing the bottom up. This job market that exists right now, actually from 2015 forward, is the opposite of what most of us graduated...

    I used to be poor. It sucked. I stopped being poor. As long as there's plenty of work, people have the power to choose to stop being poor. There's still plenty of work. The Fed and the markets are conspiring to change that.

    The good: -Corporate profits are higher than they've been in 50 years. -Tax revenues are incredibly high. -The dollar is insanely strong. -Despite all the political bullshittery going on, the energy crisis has been surprisingly mild, because there are actual alternatives today, when there wasn't...

    Everything is relative. It's very hard to look at the US, look at literally every other country on earth, and not say "yeah the US is doing fucking great compared to everywhere else."

    It's funny because last gen the 3080 FE was the clear price/performance winner. This gen it's the flagship that's the price/performance winner. That's never happened afaik.

    Yes, I expect to see a 4080 Ti and a 4080 Ti Super at some point, given the gap. I bet the 4080 Ti is out sooner than anyone expects.

    PC slowdown because people are going back to the office. PC sales were way up when millions of people needed a PC at home for work, or companies needed to deploy millions of laptops to send everyone home. Logitech made so much fucking money off webcams and would have made even more if they...

    This thing: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/32gn600-b Very much a budget monitor. VA panel, cuts a lot of corners. Much better similar options around the same price: EDIT: Embedded ads not showing current prime-deal prices.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/10/five9-shares-plunge-more-than-20percent-after-ceo-announces-resignation-.html This is probably a good pickup. The CEO leaving (and being replaced by the former CEO who only quit due to cancer) changes nothing about the fundamentals of the company. It's a good...

    No, seriously, the M1 Ultra is the most insane SOC ever produced and the current pinnacle of computer engineering expressed in silicon. Literal case of "you might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like."

    It's more likely that we see a total redesign of GPU + CPU + motherboard that allows CPU and GPU share a single giant pool of superfast memory. So you have a GPU cooler, a CPU cooler, and a memory cooler. Then the GPU board doesn't have to worry about powering and cooling the video memory...

    That's not what I'm saying. Springbok's chart illustrates what I'm saying. For the first time in a very long time, the flagship card really is not just a small 10-12% improvement over the second tier card. It is a full 45% more powerful, for 33% more money. haha I came here to post a very...

    I can't believe the market is interpreting anything lower than 300k monthly jobs as a 'dangerously healthy' job market... The Fed and the market are absolutely conspiring to cause a mass unemployment event. That's the real conspiracy here (except not because they're doing it right out in the...

    If you want the same performance as previous gens, you can get smaller and quieter. Heck, your cellphone is probably more powerful than a PC from 8 years ago. Just because the 4090 exists, doesn't mean you have to buy it. They are making something very powerful available to you, if you're...

    Actually not sure. Competent employees are in short supply on all ends of the paycheck spectrum, and no sign of that changing. With the manager class falling apart and the rise of hypermobile individual contributors, it's really hard to figure out what the near future will look like. On the...
