I kinda wanted to get a KVM recently, but decided to save my money to afford RAM for my planned server build instead. Might even get a 32 GB kit for $400.

Didn't Nasdaq change its rules specifically in order to get SpaceX to list on Nasdaq? Not really sure why other funds would follow them since SpaceX can't list on all of them.

They changed the rules to let SpaceX into the Nasdaq 100, which is kinda like the S&P 500 for people who drive Cybertrucks.

Why isn't Claude maintaining it?

They must have solved coding that well.

They pretty much saying the efficacy of the tool can be tested by anyone to determine if it's worth purchasing the more polished and up-to-date commercial offering.

It will be "finished". Expect to see construction workers in the basilica deep into the 2030s.

Only some finishing touches on the inside in 2027 and 2028 are planned.

If we're drinking the Danish Kool-Aid, you're supposed to write it "LEGO".


Polls before the Brexit referendum also showed a majority for remaining.


It was a +2 lead for Remain. Not the +21 that there is for rejoining.

Just before the referendum. The lead at the time the referendum was called was much wider. One poll even had 66% remain in June 2015, while the Referendum Bill was in parliament.

Well, I just assumed that when you said "polls before the Brexit referendum" that you mean polls that were made before the referendum, and not when the referendum was called.

It was just yesterday that SK Hynix announced to double their capacity over the next five years.

You can probably get a mansion in France for that.

To be fair, DDR3 is still kinda cheap. It's really only DDR4 and DDR5 that are massively in demand. DDR3 is a bit too old for it to be in high demand by consumers.

Unbelievably, even DDR3 isn't spared. Our suppliers have been quoting us much higher prices for DDR3 for months now, and we're experiencing persistent stock shortages. Fabs are abandoning legacy nodes to prioritize AI capacity, making it rough even for maintaining old gear.

It isn't really unbelievable. Anyone who could sub in DDR4 for their projects would do so which increased the price. And then anyone who was still using DDR4 for projects would respond to the increased price by moving to cheaper DDR3 if they could. It wouldn't take much of an unexpected demand increase to move the needle since I don't believe much DDR3 or DDR4 is even being manufactured anymore. And then you have the supply side: Increased prices of upgrades will cause many of them to be delayed or cancelled denying the refurb/used market supply of the old hardware.

While DDR3 is cheaper it's still tripled or quadrupled in price over the past two years. I just bought a pair or sticks for an old Mac Pro and it was 4x what i paid just a few years ago.

Personally I have a lot of DDR3 RDIMMS laying around that I got for cheap/free and have thought of getting a used workstation to put them in (4 channels of DDR3 will still net you ~60 GB/s of bandwidth) but the only Xeons that support it are Sandy/Ivy. Everything Haswell and newer with AVX2 and rebar/etc. use DDR4.

I wanted to buy another one and they are like $90 now :(

My bet is that we're not gonna see any adjustments in RAM pricing until one of the planned data center projects collapses in a spectacular way.

One theory: they will need to throw away all these Nvidia cards in the trash at some point right ?

Because what to do with power-consuming outdated hardware ? let's say 5 years from now ?

They will need new RAM.

I wonder.


I’d gladly take a few of these self-contained rack-clusters off their hands when they do.

I’d even get a house with a garage or something just for that.


The billionaires locked in a race to spend effectively unlimited funds on AI CapEx will have to be convinced by markets and/or their advisers that there aren't enough profits and that cutting losses (like with Metaverse) in their quixotic quest is necessary.

We're talking trillions here. They will absolutely have to make it work, whatever it takes.

And honestly, we will have much bigger problems if that bubble pops in a spectacular fashion.

Which problems would that be? Nasdaq crashing by a few percent and a major player to go under. Seems almost inevitable at some point.

And taking everyone's 401ks down with them because of the idiotic rules changes to accommodate SpaceX? Its going to be the largest transfer (theft) of wealth since 2008. AI is the only thing driving any kind of growth in the market at all now. That pops, its going to bring the entire economy down with it.

The vast majority of index funds are float adjusted. SpaceX will not have that many shares available relative to the total value of the company. It's a negligible percent of the overall market cap of say, VTI. This commonly repeated trope is misinformation. The change in rules is more of a problem than the actual value.
