I mean, we know the absolute limits of computational efficiency thanks to the Landauer limit and the Margolus–Levitin theorem, and from those we know that we are so far from the limits that it is practically unfathomable.

If they can show some evidence that they can perform useful calculations 100x more efficiently than whatever they chose to compare against (definitely a cherry picked comparison) then I'll give them my attention, but others have made similar claims in the past then turned out to be in extremely specific algorithms that use quantum calculations that are of course slower and less efficient on any traditional computer.

We know spez' secrets too.

Dude loved the jailbait subreddit before it was banned for obvious reasons.

He was a moderator.

For a while it was in the international section of one of the big liquor stores. Thought that was funny.

Didn't Asahi acquire all of lion Nathan breweries over a decade ago?

Edit, actually kirin owns lion Nathan, but asahi definitely aquaired some of their brands a while ago.

Funilly enough Fosters is japanese now, and hasn't been Australian for decades.

Asahi have been buying up all of Australia's breweries, even a bunch of popular micros are owned by them now.

Before asahi, they were owned by ABINBEV and SABMiller.

It was actually made in many countries by the likes of Heineken, Coors, Molson, and others. I don't think any true fosters has been made in Australia and exported for a very long time.

I just pull no more than an album at a time from people usually. spread it out, come back the next day etc. If you aren't sure, use the chat function and ask them if they are OK with you queuing up more than a couple of full albums at a time.

I share freely, no restrictions other than bandwidth cap and use a round robin to allocate upload slots to people, so if someone does queue up a hundred gigs of flacs from me (in my library that can be a single artist) it doesn't block everyone else for a week.

Literally the only way they could become profitable.

I'm honestly more upset at this deal (I think it was google?) than the CEO pay thing, which is all stock options and mostly ragebait.

I expect to see them last 3-5 years and get bought out by some bit tech firm, all current execs take their payouts, sell their shares and retire.

Sure, but the stock is illiquid until after the IPO, and its current value is only based on the value estimate given for the purpose of the IPO.

He will still make bank unfortunately, but its not unusual for new IPOs to give stock options to CEOs with ridiculous values that don't really mean anything until the stock is publicly trading and a true value is established by the market.

I mean, Fuck Spez and Reddit and all but the article is clickbait, he was paid about $370k salary plus a bonus and the vast majority was shares.

Dont invest in reddit, heck I'd even say bet against them, short them, They are just seeking a buyout from one of the big tech firms and want it out of their hands.

I'm certain he must've lost a lot of money betting against amd on the stock market right around the time of zen1 and he never got over it.

[–] [email protected] 140 points 9 months ago

Ah, yes, the guy that obviously put a lot of money into intel shares or attempting to short AMD right around the launch of Zen architecture and got so butthurt about his poor investment that he started actively falsifying data and writing ridiculous unhinged reviews of amd products to make intel look better.
