Ah,Sorry,in 2001 it was actually the first, so Geforce 1 / ONE.

It hat -fasten your seatbelts- one(!) dedicated pixelshader and one dedicated vertexshader :-) High times back then - it was like entering next dimension.

(Two chips, guys, two!)

SOUNDBLASTER 2.0 !!!!!!

A 16(!!!) bit ISA slot card, which revolutionized PC-audio-experience.

Are they still on the market or crashed by the ever-more-increasing onboard chips?

And there was Gravis Ultrasound, where you could upload samples into the RAM of the soundboard (that was like superpowermegatech back at these days :-) IIRC, the highest degree of fidelity was fu**ng 16 MB of onboard RAM on the soundboard.

:-D

So farming requires 1GW+ per farm?

Good advice.

Im at a well known megaprofessional dentist,priced "a little above the average" if you want something unusual.

One day, we started to initiate "small project" for some teeth, involving some additonal costs for "beauty-stuff". The accounting appartment(!!!!) of them adviced me to get whatever-XY-insurance before the first step is done to save some costs. On the first day in the morning when step 1 started, I talked to the doc about this advice - she said: "I do not know what they thought but this is a dentist, not an insurance reseller. I do not suggest to do this, you wont need it in your case."

Since then, I never went to another one.

Thats a US thing; in Europe dentists do not try to "upsell" you any stuff, usually; for sure there are some shady practitioners, but their number is small. This behaviour is induced to how the local health schemes over here work: The doctor usually does not have an incentive to sell more stuff.

would it be possible to sell this stuff to any of these "crypto" companies for mining or whatever tasks?

How much frames in CounterStrike,then? :-D

/s

yeah, 10y US T-bills are nearing to 6%,this is actually excellent public debt :-D

It was a little inaccurate, you are right:

#2 "after all payments done for yourself/husband"

#1 will be the kids

Na, I meant today: I would happily buy your 30M DAU weppage for just 1B USD today :-)

WOW, MANY thanks for linking the NYT graphic!

Its very good and tells a lot!

Thanks for sharing!

Mh, a website with 30M DAU or WAU is today worth 1b USD at least (if you cant monetize on 30M users, then the product has a problem?)

In most western countries, pets are on #2 after spendings for children in households, so your bet made sense. Though, as a lot of companies, tractions wasnt big enough back then.

Today, e.g. ZooPlus is one of the biggest pet-stuff-retailers (2023 revenue 2.5billion)

Same for MSFT and some others, IIRC

...and their customer care & return handling (which is basicly give me my money back) usually just works.

you could somehow add the current stock chart somehow and pin it to their statements/dates? :-D

MSFT makes most money with Enterprise customers, business services, cloud, hosting, additional services around their eco system.

People on the street think "MS Word" when they hear Microsoft - but its much much more than that.

I doubt that these projects will last longer for more than 1 year, and I do not see how one person will navigate/coordinate large codebases if you maintain this project for 5-10++ years.

>daily software is going to be vastly changed

Is this true for large & mega corps as well with deep enterprise integration? Thats where the money is for most of them.

Codebase of the behemoths should be around in the GB-range, Millions of engineering hours and QA etc.; I do not see how one person even with 100 agents will be able to coordinate/navigate such a large project.

My bet is: This guy is pumping out that stuff to land a good job somewhere :-) (I doubt that by now someone is paying for the continuously crashing clones?)

Call out: Is pdfCraft better than this site:

https://www.ilovepdf.com/

Esp. in terms of quality regarding document output

yeah, but before they had to make their hands dirty to deliver at least something >made by them<, even if its some basic mockups on some slides to show an idea

now, they open discussions with "you cant imagine how many tokens I burnt yesterday to create X" and then showing a widget with 5 buttons that runs within Claude/Browser without any real data or connection to the rest of any parts of the company :-D

>Remember that paid slack subscriptions let the managers access all of the chat

Thanks for mentioning, didnt know this! What does "managers"mean? Only the "account owner" or everybody with the slightest adminrights?

Before AI tools like Plaud.AI, this wasnt near possible because of work/time, and no person usually do not remember exactly who said what 6 month before,unless there is some email conversation.

With Plaud, you can check unlimited backwards who said what in which meeting and what was wanted to achieve - very interesting actually to find things in there 6m later, while people said they will do it at ends of month and youself just forgot it already - and these systems allow you to chase exactly these discrepancies.

It starts far before that:

Ive seen people going through Plaud.AI conversation to find "on day X person Y said Z to person W", just to get some amunition against them.

Couple of weeks ago it refused to cite one of the public available EU-text from their gov site to me

That was 40 years ago when we had 5.25" discs in school. In todays schools (up to 16-18), nobody knows what Assembly is, even the teachers.

Thanks for sharing: Didnt know there is so much dubt/uncertainty to whom this quote is accredited to

a) I have never met a Lawyer who was able to write a single code line

b) I have met Lawyer colleagues who didnt know how build a =SUM() in Excel

So, I doubt....

I guess that websites like https://ourworldindata.org/ do a better job today?

Somehow most of the terms are related to -more or less- the "effects of cattle business" ie. lifestock farming, it seem to me as a layman?
