If Nvidia GPUs are in significant oversupply as was reported then it means the prices will come down, as there's nobody willing to buy that stuff anymore. And this poses an immediate and very tangible problem for those who bought them: they have to write down the loss of value for the stuff they already own. That's hundreds of billions of dollars of value evaporating, because that value only existed if these things were really scarce, which they aren't. Oops. 3/

@davidgerard @fname, you were wondering why I was toying with checking out Haiku OS?

Sometimes I have a student who has to work much harder than their peers just to keep up with the mathematics. It could be that they have less experience with math, it could be that math is difficult for them, but it can be discouraging to work as hard or harder than everyone else and just get a C-
It can make you feel really small and not very smart. Even if objectively you know that isn't really true.
For those who have been that student what helped you to keep going?

I got it all wrong, but that's just me. I got O Level a year early so they put me on advanced maths (basically the first bit of A level). I actually got a U at that, the only thing I failed at (As and Bs otherwise).
The for some odd reason, known only to the young me, now lost in time, I actually took an A level in maths and stats. Why? Why? I got extra tuition because I found it so hard. In the end I got grade E and I really had to work for that.
Retrospective solution? Take art.

Microsoft and Digital Sovereignty are rarely used in the same sentence. This week, a few people learned why.

Unfortunately, not really.

The news that there's an oversupply of Nvidia GPUs convinced me that the AI bubble is bursting and it'll burst *hard*. So here's a thread where I go over the financial, technological and hardware implications of this. Strap in because this is going to be long and probably a bit rambling too. 🧵 1/
@acka47 a bit odd for the same tinned foods to get donated every few months though; don't tinned foods usually last years, and isn't the point of prepping to have supplies that could last you for years rather than months?

@mcc no, the Christian created PHP in seven days. JavaScript was developed by committee. Yet to be finished.
