    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Been mentioned already. It is slightly shady but let's see what the performance looks like. If the memory bandwidth isn't a bottleneck it shouldn't matter.

    Good idea, but hard for most people to do. It's incredibly unintuitive.

    No it doesn't. It means that prices aren't moving much month to month but are still elevated from a year ago. Also people keep confusing 'inflation' with CPI. I expect food prices to continue going up (due to war, climate, human stupidity, and the wage floor raising drastically, also fat...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    But why do you care about the power draw on the flagship card that no one should reasonably be buying? I'm interested in seeing what the 4060 and 4070 will be like, if we're going to see <200 watt cards that beat the current 3080 ti.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Not sure why people are making a big deal out of the power draw, the 4080 16GB has a stock 320W TDP which is the same as the 3080 10GB FE, for what is likely to be an absurd performance uplift. Thats a huge jump in performance per watt. The 4090, which you'd have to be stupid to buy, has an...

    That really depends. If it's 3 years, SPY. If it's 1 year, just open a SoFi account or other high-yield FDIC savings account, or a 1 year CD or something.

    Startups shouldn't be charity cases. So many ex-Blizzard startups have failed. I seem to remember one startup that was loaned a shitload of money by the state of RI... Also, see the mark of shame in my signature. That's a startup that takes donations! And takes, and takes, and takes...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    If someone makes a 32inch or smaller OLED or HDR1000 miniled that's actually good and is at least 180 hz, I will definitely buy one of these. If I see a widescreen OLED that I want, I will definitely buy one of these. But I'm pretty much capped out on my current 240hz 1440p monitor. The most...

    Yeah, I think the big growth in the near future is going to be a shift away from Big Tech to "medium tech" aka companies that get the thousands of midsize enterprises up to secure, modern standards on cost-effective solutions. NetApp strikes me as a possible opportunity but AWS and Microsoft...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Competing with your own business partners for sales revenue is frequently a bad model that tech companies get themselves trapped in. My theory would be that Nvidia just wants to be done with business partners and wants to manufacture and sell more of their own cards direct. They may keep some...

    Uh, a whole lot of workers have a $2000+ deductible before their insurance pays anything at all. So even an insured patient would be stuck with that portion of the bill if that was their only major medical expense that year. Anyway, this wasn't supposed to be political, neither party should be...

    As far as I know, manufacturing biologics takes pretty significant capital expenditure, and the expertise is limited. I don't think it'll be anywhere near trivial to produce it as a generic.

    I did mention it, because I mentioned that even when it ends, it'll still be difficult to manufacture. It takes manufacturing expertise, it's the same reason we can't just flip a switch and start producing 5 or 7nm chips in the US.

    Movie producers aren't like TV producers/showrunners. In the movie business, producer largely just means the person who goes and fronts or finds the money to make the movie. As long as Abrams isn't writing the movie, it'll be fine.

    @Flobee is actually right here, as much as it pains me to say that. Bitcoin's price rose as M2 money supply skyrocketed. CPI is a meaningless trailing indicator. The "inflation" happened long before the CPI readings rose, it just took a long time for the expanded M2 money supply to overcome...

    Did you actually read it? The JJ Abrams show appears to be cancelled, and the original director is getting the movie. This is the best news I've heard in forever. The real question is, will Keanu actually cut his fucking hair? Keanu is just not the same actor he was when he did the first movie.

    It'd be hilarious if this just ends up being a scam to sell out of EVGA 3080 tis and 3090 tis, as EVGA loyalists try to scramble to get the last nvidia cards with decent warranty support.
