I know youβll have a great career at the next level, and hope you continue to embrace that drive built on your love for the game. Youβll have many more kids just like yourself to inspire.
Best, CP
@SpallinaJoey I would DM if I knew how but just want to say, hell of a college career my dude. You were just a little tike in the Lizards locker room but it was evident then the love you had for the game. You were fortunate to develop skill that rose to the level or your passion.
You set goals for yourself and team that armchair commentators try to throttle you with. Whatever you feel right now, know that a willingness to strive for uncommon greatness is a peculiar courage, even as it can seem like arrogance to those that never tried.
@JoeSpallina Love the timing of the dodge with the movement of the crease man floating high to pull the slide support away.
Underappreciated is Joeyβs field awareness. Itβs not just about breaking ankles, itβs about leveraging the natural flow of the game.π«‘ @SpallinaJoey
Firstly: I'm a huge SpaceX fan. I went to the first Falcon 9 launch and the first Super Heavy. I own more SpaceX gear than anything else.
Secondly: I'm a very big space economics geek. I literally wrote a book on space economics (tldr: tourism is a terrible business model but R&D and materials is exciting.)
Thirdly: I helped design experiments that ran on the International Space Station. I invested in the first company to run an LLM in space (Besxar).
But seriously...
- An NVIDIA H100 is on the order of ~$25k+.
- Running one 24/7 for a year is ~6 MWh, which is roughly ~$850β$1,000 in Abilene-area electricity (call it ~$900).
- Swapping a GPU on Earth is minutes of labor.
But the plan is to launch the GPU + batteries + solar + radiator + comms + shielding into LEO...only to have the next-gen GPU show up ~12 months later with another big perf/watt jump?
What problem is βput it in spaceβ actually solving other than grabbing headlines?
@biancoresearch@TheStalwart@TimDuy Fairly scalable description at the moment. Imagine Powell genuinely believes what he says, maybe even has the facts on his side, and thought the market needed to know that the fed is not going to rolloverβ¦ his statement seems more reasonable. Indeed, DJT may thank him. π€·
@biancoresearch@TheStalwart@TimDuy Jim, not sure that this is the hill. Powellβs comments spoke for themselves. Asked and answered as they say. DJT is unconventional and that has or may work out in different contexts. Heβs going to illicit unconventional responses. Edge cases create precedent.
@profplum99@k3ithmccullough βEnablingβ is a category error. Political bias tends to cause investors to see data selectively and on that I agree w Mike. Tariffs, H1-B fees, raising social sec age are or would raise revenue. If sustained, and growth outperforms, deficit projections could be overstated.
@profplum99 Get that. Itβs real (for now at least). Generally donβt love exec branch dependencies; one dimensional offense/ pyrrhic victory concerns.
@kurt1124@diggstape Nice check. Props to the young man. Thereβs precedent for it, but if the kid said no one taught it to him and he hadnβt seen it before, Iβd believe him. Happy to celebrate the creativity and risk taking, even if Iβm not sure the patent is enforceable. See Ecclesiastes 1:9
