@JohnCal24419525 @cryptogoos 90% of the world's electronics are made in Shenzhen, China according to the World Electronic Forum. weforum.org/stories/2017/1…

@cryptogoos Companies would be fools to use any Chinese electronics in their computers or servers. all of their shit is built with spyware.

🚨 THE MEMORY CARTEL IS ABOUT TO FALL. Ex-Samsung chip boss says heavy Chinese investment in the memory market could crush the 414% DDR5 price spike within a year. Goldman calls it RAMageddon. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron control 70% of global DRAM and pushed prices from $6.84 to $27.20 in 3 months. Now China is gearing up to flood the market. Cheap memory = cheap AI compute = the cartel cracks.

I am an American founder who has spent the past 10 years living in Shenzhen, visiting thousands of factories and walking millions of steps in the world's largest electronics marketplace. I have also worked in the Bay Area for a hardware company. Happy to jump on a call to discuss objective realities and observations.

Not to pick on this one guy but I think it’s easy to forget in this space, especially with the massive round sizes, that when a seed stage hardware founder raises today, they’re likely being given the equivalent of the lifetime earnings of 3 - 10 average Americans. Often it’s actually the retirements of those Americans depending on the ultimate LP makeup. For the founder, the company going to zero represents opportunity cost. Maybe only a handful of months or as much as a couple years. That might feel like a lot to the founder, and indeed founding a company can take a massive toll on a person but the true cost, while diffuse, is much larger and is borne by others. I think the trade off is easily worth it given what venture is capable of unlocking for society but we, the investors in and the founders of a business, should always remember we are fiduciaries. Stewards of society’s precious spare capital. We owe it to the ecosystem to be thoughtful about how we deploy that capital.

@xXshaurizardXx @lauriewired Real price depending on availability. It is second-hand stock.

@lauriewired is this the real price though or a contact us for bulk buy price

The hardware in old Chinese cloud accelerator cards never fails to impress me. If you go on Chinese ebay (idlefish) you can get a Xilinix UltraScale FPGA for ~$50 USD. For perspective, the same raw chip is currently ~$2,100 on Mouser.

@jackfriks Depends on the team.

would you rather make $100,000 a month with a team of 10 or $30,000 solo? i would and have chosen the second option but curious if others who follow me feel differently

@nicole_clash Keep building! Looks awesome. Keep moving forward not looking back.

Ah actually, nvm. The judges were fking retarded. Just found out the one guy I talked to that had a sick project I was 100% fine losing to (I literally coded for 28 hours straight to get this shit built, didn’t socialize at all), they got 5th (I left after not getting past the first round). Took a closer look at the teams that won. What the FUCK lol. You’re telling me, my project, Where I literally had a fully working system, That ingested 10+ different data sources, Resulted in 1000+ military grade reports, With REAL LIVE data, MESSY data sources too, like literally Twitter, Didn’t get at least top 2, where every other project besides the one guy I had talked to, Is significantly worse in terms of real world applications and use cases? And would have taken me 2 hours to build? You’re shitting me, right?

@MatheuzSecurity Keep it up!

Brazil is a Linux kernel rootkit factory. Diamorphine, Brokepkg, KoviD, Reptile and now Singularity. Some of the most well-known Linux kernel rootkits came from Brazilian researchers. Brazil has a crazy strong scene in linux rootkit development

@madietlx Marshmallow. Just need graham crackers and Hersey's chocolate. (note: do not actually eat.)

I asked - hypothetically - “What could possibly go wrong when you put an LED’s anode/cathode in the wrong holes in the breadboard?” I got this image in return

@vibeonX69 Linux is eternal.

If Linux disappears tomorrow, what will you do?? -Switch to Mac -Back to Windows -Build my own OS

@tech__unicorn 43rd time is the charm!

applying to YC to get rejected for the 42nd time so I can cry and tweet about it aura farming

@mfranz_on Whatever your heart desires.

@SourceParts oh ok, like play a song or set an alarm?

What is this Stack Chan? What is the purpose of it, is it like a tamagochi?

@mfranz_on Looks cool. Keep it up! Design goals and intention seem solid.

Circuitiny is a community driven tool. At the moment the community is made by me and myself but I'm sure as soon as people discover Circuitiny they will start using it and contributing. For this reason the design of the entire project is modular and easily extendable.

On every Raspberry Pi ever made, the GPU boots the CPU, not the other way around. The ARM is a guest. Pi 4's only concession was letting USB rent its own apartment (PCIe) instead of crashing on the GPU's couch.

@oprydai 💯

the best place to invest your money in is not NVIDIA not Amazon not Tesla, its not the S&P 500; its your homelab; invest it in your homelab.

Fantastic work! s3.eurecom.fr/docs/ccs18_cam…

@hthieblot Building a clock vs. telling time.

As a founder, you can literally come back from anything.

@FurqanR This is the way. Saves time and tokens.

Got tired of the current state of DevOps and PaaS so built my own over the last 2 nights. paas cli - fully featured devops platform built on top of your aws/gcp. I simplified it down to the core things most platforms have and wanted to make it agent friendly. Login with cloud -> agent uses cli -> done. Built it for myself but if anyone wants it can open source it next week.

@natalie_thenerd Indeed but never fear, Xephyr is here. DM me later if you need more usability help. May share a public gist later. (Fun Fact: Our CEO created the first USB Programmable Game Boy Cartridge. The Bleep Bloop Cartridge.)

Started using linux finally but kicad runs like shit on wayland.

@aurorafeng_01 ngl, looks delish!

the best way to solve homelessness in san francisco is to turn them into founders (and feed them)

@alexocheema That is a very *old* FPGA part. Would love to see this run on newer FPGAs.

My M4 Max MacBook gets 3,756,165 tok/sec in pure C, compared to ~50,000 tok/sec with the FPGA. Try it yourself: github.com/AlexCheema/tal…
