Yah but browser and computing are so much powerful, who needs to install software on their machine when web app and apps store is sufficient for general consumers

As someone who has been in the line of PC building, the entire “build your own” industry has been in a decline. And this “RAM apocalypse” is pretty much nail on the coffin.

Enterprise business from small, medium to large get laptops or use mobile application and online SAAS.

There entire PC industry is for enthusiasts and tiny segment of the worlds computing needs. The laptop variation has already been eating into PC market.

In today’s world, it’s just not practical to own a PC unless you are gamer. And for gamers, it’s just better to get console. And for developers, their is more money to be made selling games on console then PC.

In the end, from business, to revenue generation stand point, custom PC industry is just a legacy of old computing world. As I type this, custom PC is more of a “marketing segment” for Nvidia for example to upsell Nvidia cloud offering - i might be stretching too far - but that basically is the point.

Yeah, I’ve come to the same realization. Israel does the dirty work for the US and they take all the heat. If the U.S. really wanted Israel to stop, all they need to do is take out special privileges Israel gets and put down economic sanctions.

That’s good! We need to protect our children.

But who gets the $375 million dollars? Anyone know the cut the law firm will get from this incredible amount of money?

Hmm all my experience with using AI has been mostly VRAM. I haven't experienced any bottleneck on the CPU side. What does this chip offer over Intel or Apple Silicon? Anyone expert here know whatit is?

New comment by mattfrommars in "OpenAI Has New Focus (on the IPO)"

mattfrommars — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 22:19:36 +0000

Agreed. This year around is the best time for OpenAI related firm to IPO. The stock market has been resilient reaching and hovering around ATH. Along with them, SpaceX plans to IPO and will force index fund to purchase their shares at trillion dollar evaluation.

OpenAI and SpaceX firms need exit liquidity - and markets are ready!

My advise for retails folks is to stay invested in the market since these trillion dollar companies cannot afford market to tank at all.

Incredible. I'm more amazed at OP's ability to generate that kind of revenue from SAAS when we live in LLM world where the issue really isn't producing apps, but distribution and turning it into profitability.

that's reasonable I think if he isn't using any kind of game framework.

I find Gemini 'guided learning' to be very good as a Leetcode teacher. I finally been able to understand dynamic programming and have become better.

This is incredibly heart breaking, but unfortunately, in war, there are always casualties. This is the grim reality of war.

This is incredible piece of work. I was looking into .claude folder and skim reading it. One thing stood out to me how large it is.

If I'm not mistake how Claude Code or AI agent work, they need everything in 'context' and few tricks to reduce the context size. Sure, but given the number of files you have, how much of the context is consumed by all those claude files vs actual user input?

incredible. And this was all using $20 plan from Claude or do you pay extra for Claude bandwidth?

Random: are you personally paying for Claude Code or is it paid by you employer?

My employer only pays for GitHub copilot extension

I think it’s because of Kings Kids on their iPad playing this games vs being on PC playing a game on Miniclips or Ebaumsworld…

What on earth, at least they could have provided 16gb as base RAM. 8gb RAM in 2026 - what on earth were they thinking.

mattfrommars — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 14:47:05 +0000

More affordable Mac, there is nothing wrong with it.

But the only issue in school is the rick kid's parent will get them Macbook Pro or even Macbook Air, and the poor kids will get Macbook Neo... I'm sure the kid will not feel great about having Neo while her friend have Pro version.

mattfrommars — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 15:28:38 +0000

I have yet to understand myself why did I pay $2300 something for M4 Pro with 512gb storage. Like, for that kind of money, I should have gotten at least 1 TB.

My worst purchase thus far.

like the other comment, openai can force itself onto the massive index like VOO/FXAIX etc to make retail folks to provide liquidity exit for openai investors.

mark my words, the entire stock market will need to float until openai goes public.

there is no way openai - and players who are vested them can afford market to tank before it.
