Making memory is easy. Packaging that memory within a few millimeters of a piece of silicon using TSVs and maintaining signal integrity on a 1024 bit bus is really, really hard.
LLMs aren’t all that compute constrained or even memory constrained. It’s just that pushing dozens of terabits per second through a piece of silicon is a physics problem.
I know what I said. Lots of foreign money backed construction loans got wiped out. The buildings are still there, the project went bankrupt, and the world kept turning.
Don’t blame imports for our sclerotic country banning construction nationwide. Plenty of countries have spent billions on new construction in the US and gotten smoked. The buildings still stand though.
No. I don’t think it’s at all okay or fair that the wealthiest man in the world can push great replacement conspiracies and endorse the murder of immigrants (non-white South African division).
I have this magical ability to think lots of people can suck simultaneously. I’m also able to separate the power and ability to inflict damage of a bunch of shitheads on twitter from the White House and the first ever trillionaire.
I’m always a bit confused how this is so difficult for people to understand. If I want to move into your neighborhood, there are two options - I move into new construction or I move into your house. There is no option C where I decide that because the housing stock is garbage, I decide to go somewhere else.
You gotta look at the motivations. Rich people and activists can both agree that affordable housing requirements are a good thing. The higher the better. This makes the project not pencil out so everybody is happy - the homeowners who don’t want new neighbors and the activists who think that everything is gentrification. The only people who get screwed are the only people who don’t have a vote, the non-residents. Which is why zoning policy and approvals cannot be locally controlled.
Private equity owns about 500,000 homes nationwide, so like less than a half of a percent.
Anyway they got into the housing market because the margins are so good because everybody refuses to allow new housing to be built. Congratulations, you played yourselves.
