Future show HN: how I managed to parallelize 100 tape drives to load windows and play video games

You could do worse... https://youtu.be/1hc52_PWeU8

VHS cassettes: maybe not so obsolete, after all?

Also, the Return of PKZIP.

Video Backup System for Amiga!

Stacker and Doublespace!

memmaker and qemm

We have a bunch of compute built out that we can use to build actually good products and services again

:)

The failure rate of GPUs in data centers is around 3 years…

Right but they're also building out tons of non-GPU compute too..

what a smart kid! wishing him all the best

One thing I should note is that I find Claude to be amazing for helping me write or brainstorm non-coding stuff.

It is much better than other models I have tried. Didn't think the post would blow up so much tbh..

Any business that solves a problem. The tech is always a commodity. The valuable parts are usually the data, the services offered, etc. and they have good distribution which makes their moat strong.

ever realized that its only incompetent people who could never build a product (what problem are you solving?) who ask for silly things like this?

it doesn't work irl, and if you don't understand that then keep asking this question in 10 years, or even 100 years.

email works, not everything has to be run by corporate greed

Do you use Gmail, outlook, etc? A provider backed by 1T+ worth companies?

>99% of people do.

Anything can be decentralized. But people will gravitate toward centralized solutions.

That has nothing to do with federation. A Gmail user can talk to an Outlook user. A Slack user cannot talk to a Teams user.

Email is only federated because it was used before it was commercialized. If companies could monopolize email they would. The solution here is government regulation requiring interconnection, like we got with phones and text messaging.

Your story helped them sell hope and thus more customers. Hope sells.

People want hope. They don’t want advice lol. If the latter was the case we wouldn’t live in a lopsided world.

Hope means you don’t need to try. Advice means it’s on you to try.

Horde just continues to be infinitely badass and memorable all these years later.

I haven't played WoW since like 2006-2011 but I will always be Horde for life! Lok'Tar Ogar!

Maybe its using Grok.

I just hope when they put Grok into Optimus, it doesn't become a serial s****** assaulter

shit that works lol

i've probably contributed to all these AI sloppers by giving them $10/20 bucks to get credits, to find out it doesn't work, so they can book it as "ARR" and raise $10M only to shut down some months later.
