This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.
NVIDIA seems to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery. The argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into is nonsense...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now, or else. GPUs are stacked in warehouses.

“the nihilism of a narcissist who wants nothing good for a world that rejects him or soon will be done with him. He is working to erase history to reject that which those who rejected him valued. It is the thinking of a sociopath… I’m no psychologist…” I am a psychologist. I wholeheartedly agree.
Did we really win the Cold War? Defeat fascism? Bury the Confederacy? In retrospect, thanks to Trump, MAGA and their enablers, perhaps none of those things. My latest. Hope you’ll give it a read. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/so-as-it-t...

One of the best finpods I've listened to in a very long time. "Buy humiliation. See hubris". I do, and my long term conviction outweighs short term pain. #FinSky

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Opinion: To say that Trump has checked out of the business of governing is an understatement. It would also imply that he had previously checked in. ft.trib.al/KFBc5d4
