Lee Kuan Yew on Prostitution:
“We were candid about the problems we could not solve. Vices like prostitution, gambling, drug addiction and alcoholism could only be controlled, not eradicated. Singapore’s history as a seaport meant prostitution had to be managed and confined to certain areas of the city where the women were given regular health checks. Gambling was impossible to suppress. It was an addiction Chinese migrants had carried with them wherever they settled. But we had eliminated the triads or secret societies and broken up organized crime.”

The funny thing is, China probably sees the Jensen affair as a boss move. Let me explain.
About 15 years ago, I was in Beijing on business, hanging out with a real boss. A prominent Chinese businessman who showed us around, sometimes with his wife, sometimes with his mistress.
One night, after quite a few drinks, I asked whether his wife minded him parading a baddie all over Beijing. I’ll never forget his response:
“Mick, if I didn’t have the most beautiful mistress in Beijing, my wife would think business was bad. I could never do that to her.”
I kinda think Jensen missed an opportunity with his mealy-mouthed corporate PR statement. Imagine if he’d said:
“Guys, we’re in the middle of a winner-takes-all AI arms race. If I didn’t have a mistress, the CCP and our customers would think business was bad at Nvidia. I could never do that to our shareholders.”
Boss energy. 😂

She wasn’t a spy, just one of Jensen Huang pawns (albeit one he got too close to) serving his goal of selling as many GPUs as possible, even to where shouldn’t have done so, until the FOMO was strong and people didn’t realise they needed much much less compute to run great AI

Bro we use to wrap our xbox 360 in towels and let it run\cook to try and fix the red ring.
Diue to astronomically high hardware prices, we'll be performing such rituals to resurrect our gear 😭 – at Harare, Zimbabwe
A GeForce GTX 1080 has been brought back to life using a household oven.
The 10-year-old GPU was suffering from black screens after just 10–15 minutes of use. After replacing the thermal paste failed to fix the problem
The solution was 35 minutes of heat treatment at 120–130°C.
And somehow, it worked. The card was running normally again and even passed a FurMark stress test without crashing.
Just don’t try this with your kitchen oven please

While this is true it simply doesn't matter literally at all. Consumer electronics are rounding errors on data center revenue. It sounds nice to be leader there but it would be fiscally irresponsible.
I'm a gamer but I can't blame AMD. There is no way AMD could have remained profitable selling consumer GPUs when memory and storage prices are so high and still climbing. On top of that TSMC is also raising prices. – at Harare, Zimbabwe
Never underestimate AMD's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
They had a prime opportunity to edge out Nvidia's dominance in the consumer GPU space aaaaand they squandered it.

You can’t be stuck in red pill rage forever. You have to redirect that great energy and information into a healthy, positive direction.

Your future wife is fucking an old ass nigga on a boat.
Do you have the stomach?
We'll just have to keep our current hardware longer. This too shall pass. – at Harare, Zimbabwe
AMD is putting priorities on AI ahead of gaming, CEO Lisa Su openly declared: “We are a data center-first company.”
AMD’s gaming revenue dropped 40% to $773 million, while total revenue hit a record $13.4 billion, up 97%.
AMD plans to more than double its data center business next year, PC gamers clearly aren’t the priority anymore, we are so cooked
