  I like Mark Cuban, but this is running headlong into 3 issues: (1) Jevon's Paradox - as cost per unit of inference drops, inference usage will expand, not decline. There are (likely) billions of workflows that do not make sense to automate at the current price-per-unit of inference, but would make sense to automate if the price-per-unit of inference fell 90%. The 2nd part of this is that the actual data goes the other way. Since 2023, GPT-4 class inference costs fell from ~$30/MT to ~$0.48/MT (-95%). Spending still increased. Why? Because agentic workflows hits the model 10x-20x per task, and o3 class reasoning consumes ~80x more compute per task vs. GPT-4o. Net/net = inference has gone from 1/3rd of AI compute (2023) to 2/3rds (2026). Efficiency gains were not banked as capacity savings, they were reinvested in deeper reasoning. (2) The CapEx Issues - yes, buildout has crossed from cash-flow financed to leveraged. Yes, total private credit outstanding loans to AI-related companies will total ~$1T in the next 2 years. But none of that means that Google or Meta are the problem. CapEx as a share of Sales in 2026: Google is ~46%. MSFT is ~47%. Meta is ~54%. Amazon is ~25%. The problem child is Oracle (~86%). The CDS spread at Oracle has widened by 310% in the last 24 months. If there's a credit event (and that's far from certain), it will originate at Oracle + the NeoClouds, not Google or Meta or Amazon or Microsoft. If you really want to get into it, the circular financing (aka vendor financing) being done by NVIDIA is where you should point the spotlight. The entire program is - essentially - a backstop for its customers, where NVIDIA is willing to purchase compute at pre-agreed prices in order to allow its customers (e.g. the NeoClouds) to obtain the credit necessary to...drumroll please...buy NVIDIA GPUs for their datacenter buildouts. That creates the kind of correlated failure that Lucent didn't have. Under the terms of their purchase agreements, NVIDIA ends up obligated to buy compute it doesn't need, at above-market prices, at the exact moment its own product demand is softening...thereby becoming an accidental compute reseller into a glut. (3) The actual fiber analogy. I worked on multiple fiber projects back in my RE days. The reason we ran so much fiber (and were perfectly happy for 90% to sit unlit) is because it's a 25-50 year asset with near-zero cost of sitting idle and laughable marginal cost of laying relative to the "lit" segments. Put another way: the real cost was in trenching the lines. While we're down there, the cost of putting in 100 lines or 1,000 lines was trivial relative to the cost of digging up a city street. The relevant asset isn't the GPUs, it's the shell + power rights + infrastructure + cooling + land. That's a substantial chunk of the total cost, and - like the dark fiber - is the 25-50 year asset. The silicon itself likely will be worth a fraction of sticker in 5 years, but the land, building + power rights is going to remain valuable....so @mcuban will get quoted plenty on the data centers as pickleball courts (and it is a genuinely memorable line), but the reality is that the data center land, envelope + infrastructure ITSELF is the least likely thing to be worthless. Also - a small break from the fiber analogy - the interconnect rights aren't always going to transfer in the event of a default, where the fiber did.

  @RinoTheBouncer Monopoly is the real issue. With discs, Amazon, Walmart and GameStop compete on price. Digital = PSN or nothing, and Sony takes 30% of every sale. Look at PC: Steam, GOG, Epic, Fanatical all fight for you. That's why PC prices are sane. No competition, no ceiling.

  @4whirledpeas @cwebbonline So your proposal to seeing problems is government should control everything. Get rid of Amazon, get rid of grocery stores, government everything? Wrong idea...

  "no moat" that's absolute poppycock unfortunately i disagree & you need to show how your numbers work if you are talking about supply i doubt you know at all: what chiplets are or why they exist what binning is what defect rates are, how they affect a process what yields are, how yields are measured including the above intel is the only credible alternative to tsmc and the only advanced semiconductor fabricator on western soil intel has leading edge process node in high volume production, advanced packaging capabilities and the ability to adopt unique architectures, orthogonal methodologies it can do so in ways that are safe for the architect or intellectual property owner through trusted manufacturing/ramp-c/"Secure Enclave" customers, partners and observers include: apple nvidia microsoft amazon tesla, spacex fortinet google mediatek that is exactly how a process matures and how supply scales: lower D0 + smaller effective dies via chiplets + binning = more saleable product per wafer start, which is what turns CapEx into actual output. recent analyst notes on Intel 18A from BlueFin, KeyBanc, others- indicate the wafer-to-wafer variability issues that appeared earlier are resolved, defect density has moved into the mature-process zone (roughly the low end of the 0.1–0.2 D0 band), and yields have climbed meaningfully. reports of ~65% to over 85% range in a single quarter, trailing tsmc N2 but well ahead of samsung reported 2nm figures 18A is in high-volume manufacturing at U.S. sites (arizona fab52 and oregon), supporting Panther Lake with capacity in the tens of thousands of wafer starts per month with sequential increases 18A-P is in risk production while 14A is tracking ahead of the original schedule on defect density and performance intel just committed $5.7B to expand fab34 in ireland which accounts for about 30% of its 2026 capx, specifically to scale Xeon6 and whatever else is beyond the horizon on the Intel 3 node this came right after Intel repurchased the 49% fab34 stake it had sold to Apollo, for $14.2 bn, restoring full intel ownership intel is loading its most proven fab with high margin, high volume captive cpu demand like Xeon 6P Granite Rapids and Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest on 18A, which amortizes fab costs across more wafers, does anyone at Schwab even know what this means? that is just a small vector of the cashflow support for the foundry turnaround. it's low-risk and high-confidence on demonstrated tech. you just do not know what you are buying and what you say paths around this necessary technical knowledge, i already knew without watching the video

  System Design From Scratch Circuit Breaker 1. Why? What happens if Service B goes down? Without protection, Service A keeps retrying, making the failure even worse. 2. Simple Explanation A Circuit Breaker stops sending requests to a failing service. Instead, it returns a fallback response until the service recovers. 3. Real-World Example If the Payment Service is down on Amazon, the Order Service can temporarily show: "Payment service is unavailable. Please try again later." Instead of timing out every request. 4. Key Takeaways ->Prevents cascading failures ->Stops unnecessary retries ->Improves system resilience ->Automatically retries after recovery 5. Question If a service is already down, should your app keep sending requests... or fail fast?

  A murder hornet left its stinger buried in Mark Vins’ arm as the venom sac continued pumping. A giant centipede sank its fangs beneath his skin and left blood pouring down his wrist. But Brave Wilderness was never supposed to be only about getting bitten and stung. Mark joins Ken to explain how a rejected wildlife show became a YouTube phenomenon, why the “cow killer” video changed their lives overnight, and how the channel evolved from viral sting videos into conservation filmmaking across the Congo, Amazon and Galápagos. They also discuss anaphylaxis, EpiPens, cave diving beside human remains, armed wildlife rangers, shark finning, rare pink iguanas and the physical toll of spending nearly 300 days a year on the road. New episode dropping tomorrow @realmarkvins

  @AmazonHelp Hello, situation remains unresolved. I am not able to regain access to my Amazon account. I was given an email address to the account department that does not receive emails. I am being denied human help. I have called more than 20 times trying to resolve this problem without success. I will make no further attempt to contact Amazon.

  @ScottPalmer2025 Sometimes people don’t have Amazon and they want to help so this is an only way. Also, many things are cheaper elsewhere. You can get folders for .35 each at staples or Walmart and they are $24 for 16 on amazon. There are also Walmart and target registeries, but without spending a certain amount for free shipping or have Walmart +, the receiver has to pick it up, which isn’t a problem, but then you have to let them know which store is closer and what time works best for pickup and then it becomes a safety issue. Gift cards are great because several people can donate a small amount and the teacher can save for a larger item or for when something pops up. I can definitely see how one would be worried and how it could be a slippery slope, but from the teachers side, sometimes is better/easier/safer. Either way, thank you for supporting teachers. We appreciate you!!

  @Blitzraver @LeilaniDowding I dont even know where to begin with you. This is small fry compared to how much the wealthy siphon off and yes Meta, Amazon, Google etc are another problem too. There should be no loopholes for the millionaires

  @ik238 @dom_lucre @amazon Amen to that. I’ll never forget Reacher, S1. But that’s where it ends. Bc I’ll never forget how let down I was when I saw his TDS rants. It’s over between me and him. Kicked to curb he is. For me, now he’s the guy he pummeled for being an idiot! lol
