Even if i put the url for a specific video on my TV YouTube it doesn’t find it.

Not the same. In the early days of chatgpt it would cheerfully tell you how to make a bomb.
- Comment on Nvidia insists it isn’t Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith 2 days ago:
That’s Michael Burrys thesis. Higher depreciation for GPU owners is a positive for Nvidia because they end up buying more GPUs.
I’m highlighting the the future revenue of those customers that Nvidia has booked in terms of equity. That is equivalent to Enron. Here the SPVs are named companies like OpenAI and other model developers.

Nvidia has cuda. Most ai only used cuda so only uses nvidia, but people are working too get over that particular moat

Enron crashed because they were cooking their books and faking income, declaring potential profit where none existed
-
Sell chips to X
-
Receive stock in X
-
Value of stocks = discounted sum of future (fake) income
-
Booked as an asset on the balance sheet
This is exactly like Enron but the underlying commodity isn’t energy, it’s compute.

Fuse looks like a good way to make the 3tb look like 400tb but it doesn’t do the replication bit.
I’m commenting these ideas publicly because maybe others will join in. Thanks for playing along!

Chatgpt is recommending an IPFS Cluster but I suspect this doesn’t solve the problem completely.
- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 5 days ago:
Yes, almost. But i want it to seem like i have all 400tb on my 3tb drive. I want the cache to handle downloads automatically and I want an even spread of files so that none get lost.
Maybe I should be typing this into a LLM.

I have 3gb of space to share. Are there 150 other people like me that want to do some distributed hosting? What technology can handle this?
- Comment on Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents 5 days ago:
There is 200gb of just metadata

Math is weird. You can have infinite circumference but finite radius.
- Comment on Random idea: a federated alternative to Amazon Prime built from independent shops? 1 week ago:
There are economies of scale from collective warehousing and delivery. That could be run as a co-op rather than a capitalist structure.

Notice when you are clenching your teeth and tensing your muscles when you are angry.
Then just relax all your muscles.

- Comment on Backing up Spotify 1 week ago:
You know, I thought it didn’t look right, but I typed it into Google and it didn’t autocorrect so I went with it.
Rhymes with signs, it must be right.
- Comment on Backing up Spotify 1 week ago:
In cartography the expression of the uncopyrightable data is itself copyrighted (e.g. colors used, thickness of ligns) so maybe certain data fields are owned by Spotify (e.g. genre, description, history, song notes)
- Comment on Backing up Spotify 1 week ago:
Thanks. $10k for a jukebox with all the music in the world sounds like a cool luxury novelty.
- Comment on Backing up Spotify 1 week ago:
I thought metadata couldn’t be copyrighted though?
- Comment on Backing up Spotify 1 week ago:
Just a random question. What would the cost be?

- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 2 weeks ago:
1,400,000,000,000
I used to be amazed at how much a billion was, but this many 0s makes my head explode.
These must be bubble inflated costs to match the bubble inflated revenue.
