Loved the newsletter. One interesting point is this isn't HPEs first rack level deployment. Via Cray, HPE delivered the measley 30-40MW El Capitan Super computer last year for the LLL. But that further illustrates your point. This shit is wasted money. It's so specialized, no one can use it.

Because I sell and build the 200/400/800Gbps backend networks used for large accelerator clusters. Even for inference, they use RoCE to talk GPU to GPU. With some inference tasks taking 8-12 GPUs, that's multi-node processing.

They can't though. The networking for this won't allow it. At the speeds/latency they need for node interconnects, length of fiber is a concern let alone any other infrastructure. These systems rely on density.

That was in reference to the Gazan genocide. That trajectory looks to be about the same. And a majority of the voting age people did vote. 64%.not great, but similar to many peer nations. Our system sucks because we couldn't give a reason or the ability to the rest to vote.

Assuming they give a shit, you ask if you are being detained. If they say yes, record and ask for their reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime you have or are about to commit. If they can't it's grounds for a civil right violation. Again they have guns and no one will charge them.

It's like when you realize you're in a ponzi scheme. There's no way out that doesn't hurt you and everyone else. "The Bezzle" does a great job of explaining it. I think they are all just trying to cash out silently like the Nvidia team did or just time it the best they can to rug.

That's the scam. If they reported actual Annual Recurring Revenue or even Annual Contract Value the lemmings in VC would have to try really hard to not see what a bad idea it is. Spot Monthly Annualized Revenue is a metric that can always go up. And if it doesn't, like April, they don't leak it.

The starvation started with the Closure of the Rafah Crossing in May 2024. I just don't think you can say with the facts on the ground that Biden or Harris would NOT have gone along with this. It might have just taken longer.

What do you mean? Israel cut off aid in March of last year, during the Biden administration. Don't forget that Biden didn't try to stop this either.

Shit, you're right. Visa overstay finally went under half a couple of years ago. I'll admit when I'm wrong. It's about 45% overstay. I'm curious about how the half a million people ripped from TPS will affect the projections for 2025.

A study also finds that the unauthorized population from Mexico has declined by 1.3 million people since 2010.

uhhh, yeah. I do. I thought I was clear about that. Shit, I want to treat people who have been convcted of crimes like people too. Imagine if running a red light could get you kicked off Medicaid, because that's the same level of civil infraction as crossing the border without documentation.

Well, most people who are undocumented entered legally on a travel visa of some sort, so...being pedantic they did ENTER legally. What narrative? I want to provide health care to all people in the country and you don't? Say it with your whole chest. No half measures.

Good. That's what the people of Utah and many other states decided. That isn't the Federal Money this Federal bill is referring to. If you don't want to provide healthcare to poor and brown people, say so. Skip the WFA dance. If WFA is what you're worried about, we can start talking single payer.

Here is one data point among many that I've seen in my career in healthcare IT. The providers in the liberal city of Beaver, UT, committed nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars in Fraud over the last decade. The population of 3500 voted 85% for Trump in 2024.

Thirdly, you don't understand large complex systems and diminishing returns. In 2024 the Medicaid improper payment rate was ~5%. Of that over half is just bad paperwork. So if it costs more than 2% of the budget to change systems and add checks, it's a net negative. Not counting any impact to care.
