“No one out there is just eating spoons of sugar because of its addictive properties.”

Says who?

Go check how much sugar is dissolved in soda, it’s more that a spoonful and ask yourself why? .

It’s the second of third year in a row that this happens.

At some point it will be the new normal.

Yeah, but go tell that to the judge who’s just about to slap you with a sentence.

Unless you want to fight that all the way up the judicial food chain

Well, until recently Greece was struck by a savage “restructuring” and “reforms” package that left people without pensions or even chemotherapy when in need. I don’t think aircon is the priority for many of them

The delusion of engineers is that finally we have the means to stop compromising on quality to deliver, and fix all the garbage we’ve had to put out rationalizing about “cost-benefit”.

Trouble is management, who has the signature on the bank account which ultimately controls if and when the bailiffs are going to knock down your front door and throw you onto the street.

Management thinks we can now continue putting more, much more, of the same compromised garbage. Cheaper, faster.

Compute is also a rapidly depreciating asset.

I don’t know but this dude at my son’s school has a 32GB RTX 5090 and it’s worth more than what he paid for; and he did the same trick with the RTX 4090 before that.

Until shortages are the rule, these assets are appreciating

Well, at the risk implying intention and thus anthropomorphizing Larry... you know sharks don't eat, they simply consume food, like a fire consumes wood, this is what Larry Ellison advocates for:
