Then those GPUs become even more valuable because you can squeeze a lot more out of them. There seems to be an implicit and pervasive assumption that there is some ceiling to the amount of useful and intelligent work to be done. Once we hit that that’s it, we don’t need any more. That’s nonsense. We’re on a non-stop freight train to Kardashev 1 so buckle up.
Every neocloud should be watching this. What happens when the useful compute you can squeeze out of a GPU improves faster than the hardware itself? Billions in GPU-backed financing depend on assumptions about future rental rates and residual values. Software breakthroughs could make those assumptions obsolete overnight.

It’s starting. See you on the other side.
Millions of IoT devices, Docker containers, forgotten Linux machines, unmaintained CLI tools, etc. are all going to be relentlessly hacked via safely signed malware for the next several years or maybe indefinitely. eMudhra hack might be the most important event of the year.

It's ironic and pretty funny that everyone assumed that the very first thing LLMs would be really good at was obviously just writing, and it turns out they are actually terrible at doing it well. It's incredibly obvious when something is LLM written, the reader's brain shuts off, and it's next to useless. Software development is by far much more useful.

Hydra Host has been working on the practical engineering problems surrounding compute markets and cross-vendor fungibility going back to our founding in 2021, far longer than anyone else in the space. Today, it's exciting to have submitted comments to the CFTC on compute derivatives and contracts on behalf of the entire Hydra Host team reflecting our in depth experience on the subject. For mature compute markets to take shape, one critical challenge is to that participants need be able to differentiate and group compute *quality*. This impacts physical delivery as much as it impacts derivatives and credit in the industry. Check out the CFTC comment: regulations.gov/comment/CFTC…

Lots of VCs kindof sound like this: "Your basketball team doesn't have a moat, any healthy human can throw the ball into the basket thingy. " People who have not run companies before don't understand how much the team matters more than some imagined structural moat.

Apple’s culture may knee jerk not like this, but at the end of the day it benefits them. The more flexible the hardware and the more compatible it is with different stacks, the higher the utility. The higher the utility, the higher the residual value and secondary market for the hardware. That pushes demand for new units up.
Linux on the M6 Mac Mini, Day 5 - success! Omarchy is installed on the Mac Mini's hard drive. It boots, it runs. Still bringing up accessories, including Ethernet and GPU, so my work's not done, but 5 days from the macOS About screen to the Omarchy About screen isn't bad!

Some interior state should just green light 30+GW of nuclear power, and an “industrial zone” with special provisions to fast track all permits for the associated build outs and infra for the power and data centers. Normal taxes apply and the State’s own investment funds GT mandatory inclusion for any project it wants.
I did the math and we only need 21 GW of incremental power generation in America by 2028 to meet current demand. Your welcome.

If that holds true, then it’s not really a moat at all. Apply this and you’ll realize the only moat at all is network effects.
When markets are growing quickly, moats don't really matter. It doesn't make sense for leaders to invest in new spaces. And tons of whitespace gets created. When markets slow down, most moats can't save you anyway. Don't worry too much about moats.

Have any of the labs tried to do in history what they've done in math, like digitizing the relevant documents, having lots of historians in the loop, and throwing a few billion tokens at a question like "why did the industrial revolution happen when and where it did?"

Compute scarcity is very real
It's interesting that every depreciation model assumed the A100 would be nothing but scrap metal by now. Its utilization is climbing and none are flooding into the secondary market yet which means contracts are being renewed. If this continues to be the case for Hoppers, there is a serious bull case to consider for companies that have financed these chips on standard 6 years. Else, there's going to be a huge change in this market with disaggregated compute supply.

More and more I find myself looking at some new project like this and just being completely bamboozled by what I’m looking at. Imagination really is the new limit for software.

Only Bitcoin hardware doing everything right imo, and being increasingly validated.
Passport Prime is assembled in the USA! That matters because hardware security begins long before you switch a device on. Who assembled it? Who tested it? Who handled it before it reached you? When you’re building a device people will trust with their keys, you should know exactly where it has been and who handled it before it reached them. With Passport Prime, you do.

Traditional AAA gaming studios are dead.
Today we're standing up XBOX LABS (labs.xbox.com). Here is the note that I sent to the team: Team, The first video games emerged some 75 years ago. In the time since, there have been booms and busts, but every year there are more great games to play, more devices to play them, and best of all, more people than ever playing. That growth helped make XBOX what it is today, and we've helped shape the industry in return, from bringing hard drives to consoles and online gaming through Xbox Live to Game Pass and cloud gaming, alongside franchises that have brought millions of people together. In recent weeks, we've seen games rapidly decompiled and rebuilt to run on hardware they were never originally designed to support. Windows PC builds have been translated to run on Apple Silicon or ported to run inside a browser through WebAssembly and WebGPU, the latter now approaching 90% global browser support. Perhaps more surprisingly, we've seen many of the biggest games in the world have been remixed into the source code of another. These experiments challenge long-held assumptions about our industry: the tether between software and hardware, the boundary between creation and play, and how people discover and experience games. While it is hard to predict the future of gaming, it is easy to see the possibilities in making great games easier to access, giving old games new life and allowing more players to become creators and co-creators. These are unmistakably good outcomes for players, even when (and sometimes because) they challenge our existing business models. To explore these possibilities, I’ve asked Scott to stand-up XBOX LABS, a small group of game makers, engineers and scientists whose job is to turn emerging ideas into things our players and developers can experience. We'll build in the open, learn from what people do, and measure success by whether more people are playing and creating. I think XBOX has an important role to play here. Coding became the first major workload for agents because they can write, run, and test software. Games share many of those same properties, and people spend more than 72 billion hours a year playing XBOX games, roughly five times the estimated time spent writing code worldwide. We've spent 25 years learning how to make great games, and I want our game makers to help shape what these new technologies make possible. As we learn, we’ll share the tools we build with developers across the industry, just as we always have. Our priorities aren't changing. We remain committed to the 4Cs, to making great games, to our hardware and to being responsible stewards of IP and the communities built around it. LABS gives us a way to explore new technology that is game design led without abandoning the work already underway. Asha

Mac is the sleeper gaming platform
As promised, I’ve been vibe building MaPC, a Mac app that installs and runs my Steam, Epic, and GOG games on Apple Silicon. Zero Wine config; just hit Play. Note: Compatibility isn't universal yet (more on the site), as I’ve only tested what I own and it's a lot of fun. But let me know how it works for you. Free public beta, built to learn with a lot of AI help. mapc.games

Streaming wise it’s complete overkill. But watch this become the most underrated casual gaming platform at launch. Apple should have leaned more into that. With LLMs as good as they are, cross platform compatibility will be a completely solved problem in 2027.
Apple just announced an Apple TV with the A19 chip, And now, it's the most ridiculously overpowered streaming box in the world It's over 10x faster than the already great Nvidia Shield TV Probably faster than some people's laptops or PCs too
