2 years back at a hack I built AI powered decentralised EV distribution system to provide backup power through excess battery capacity. Cool to see something like this come to life
Nvidia will now pay you to put a mini AI data center on your house
It looks like a normal AC unit in the yard.
But inside sits 16 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs and Dell servers.
A startup called Span builds them, backed by Nvidia.
They bolt onto your home and you get paid for the power and Wi-Fi.
Some estimates put that around $1,000 a month in your pocket.
That is rent money just for hosting a box outside.
Span says it deploys way faster and cheaper than a real data center.
The AI boom is literally moving into the suburbs.
Save this, the grid is getting rebuilt in real time.
calling out startup program operators: you don’t have time to tell people why they got rejected, but you expect them to reapply? after 3+ rounds of AI interviews, human interviews, back-and-forth tests, your application is silently withdrawn on the portal and you’re emailed a rejection 3 days later.
We’re here glorifying wins but there has to be room for rejection too. sure, some people are just built different but a lot of winners are also just losers who didn’t stop trying.
@runaway_vol the actual fentanyl is the tolerance curve. week 1 you're amazed you built a full app. week 8 you can't sit through reading a function longer than 15 lines without prompting an llm to explain it to you. the withdrawal is illiteracy.
6. End state: prediction markets reshape which trials happen, how they're funded, and who profits from the information. This is financial infrastructure cosplaying as a forecasting tool
5. The dark side is that markets on clinical trials create direct financial incentives to leak trial data. Insider trading rules for securities are well-established. For prediction markets on health outcomes? Basically nonexistent
