Few people know what happens *after* the events of The Lord of the Rings. But it's one of the most poetic and thought-provoking endings in literature... 🧵
After Sauron's defeat at the end of the Third Age, the kingdoms of men are restored. Aragorn rules the Reunited Kingdom for 120 years, followed by his son for another century.
Stop building $7/m products for solopreneurs 😭 Build a $247/m product for companies with REAL budgets.. My $247/m database product brings in more revenue than my last 3 B2C products combined B2B is literally the cheat code 💪🏻
see the exactly b2b data as a service product that i've generated over $220k rev on
Went for a late-night run and had my torch on. I guess I kept accidentally taking photos bc I found these in my camera roll. Lol I feel like they’re cooler than the avg NFT???
Another run, another accidental drop. I call this one “cloudy night”
What in the F is an AI factory? I had to investigate what the unelected @EU_Commission is talking about today So according to them, it's some data centers (which they call supercomputers) in 6 different EU countries I checked out the most powerful one: Karolina, a Czech data center, it mostly has CPUs though (see pic) not GPUs, so mostly useless for AI The GPUs it does have are 72x 8x NVIDIA A100 GPU, so 576x A100, or equivalent of 240x H100s (H100 is about 2.4x the compute power of A100) So let's compare that: @xAI has 200,000x H100 GPUs So the xAI data center has 800x more compute than the Czech one If we combine xAI, Meta, AWS, etc. it's about 750,000 H100s If we assume the other 5 data centers in the EU are equivalent to the Czech one (which is massive stretch because most of the others seem AI consultacny services, they don't even HAVE chips!), the EU's new "AI factories" have a total of 1,440x H100 GPUs, let's round up to 1,500 to be nice So the EU is trying to compete with 750,000 GPUs with their own 1,500 GPUs, so 500x less?? Correct me if I'm wrong but it's just seems very low impact and another ridiculous idea and burning of EU tax payers money that will end up in local cronies and bureaucrats and will do NOTHING to improve the AI business climate for Europe The best way to improve it is to deregulate, make it super easy and low tax (especially when starting out) to start AI companies in Europe

The Dutch took over in supremacy around 1620 from the Portuguese (and Spanish) and Amsterdam became the financial center of the world 🇵🇹 Portugal was 1 million people, the 🇳🇱 Dutch Republic was 2.5 million, so 2.5x the size, more people and more rich and dominated them at sea 🇬🇧 Then around 1700 the British who were literally a poor backwater island looked what the Dutch were doing it, copied it very well and scaled it, they had 5 million people (2x more than the Dutch) and 7x more land (and resources) 🇺🇸 Then in 1950, after World War 2, the Americans took over from the British. The US had 150 million people, while UK had just 50, so US was 3x more, and they had 40x more land (and resources) Do you see the pattern? The country who takes over next from the top empire usually copies them, and then has more people and more resources
