According to this first hit from the ol’ search engine, NVDA has undergone a cumulative 480x split since 2000—so one share in 2000 would be be 480 shares today companiesmarketcap.com/nvidia/stock...

How many stock splits have happened since then though? For example, if the stock has split once in that time, and it was just a two way split, if you bought 259 shares then you would have 518 shares now

I’ll take Hot Fuzz all day long over Shaun of the Dead, but for some reason the latter gets all the chatter. They are both good movies! But Hot Fuzz is better

When did you get into Sumo, Aaron? And how does someone watch it from the US?

I was going to say that I've been reading arstechnica.com since the 90s, but I guess they were bought by Conde Nast a while ago

Any favorites? I’ve only read Player of Games

I’m not sure if it’s actually good (I read it decades ago during a different phase in my life) but Aldous Huxley’s “Island” is his take on a psychedelic-influenced utopia. This was 30 years after ”Brave New World” and well after his writings on his experience with mescaline in “Doors of Perception”

Any interest in forming a community of like minded individual? we will work together towards a common purpose on the shores of the Missouri, eschewing the decadence and corruption of the world outside.

The forecast for tech companies is looking PRETTY stormy, Leah. Not sure if this is when the bottom falls out, but it’s not looking great for the AI maximalists

Incredible stuff—I haven’t been able to see it in my neighborhood, but I’m beyond psyched for those who have

It’s okay! Conference schedules also don’t always allow for much non-conference stuff. Next time!

We rolled out the first winter storm of the season to great you 😁

Are you a fellow Chicagoan?

As someone who currently gets paid in part with Amazon stock, I'm admittedly loving this pump up.

I also think all of the AI stuff is entirely insane and will not be loving the crash out

Subscribed and got my first print issue last week! I have fond memories of buying the print edition back in the late 90s, and the fact that you brought it back made it easy for me to throw money at you all

You know me, I was doing the same for a bit. I honestly gave up doing that, am trying to do more in my community

Having left Facebook and other Meta products behind earlier this year, it looks like nothing has changed. They still don’t want to show you stuff from the people you know, but from the people who pay them for your eyeballs. I knew a little more about my loved ones‘ lives, Meta doesn't care anymore

Do you have Tidal, and enjoy it? I have Apple Music (because fuck Spotify) and find it good, not great

I can’t wait for AI to implode upon itself. Will it remain in some form afterward? Probably. But it won’t be shoved down our throats daily from all sides

“Mehndi claims his music was often criticized for only being popular due to the abundance of beautiful, dancing women in his videos.[1] The singer responded by creating a video that featured nobody but himself.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunak_T...

This is crazy to me—it’s a great song, but the only reason why I ever heard of it (years ago, in college) is because of the video. Do you know the story behind the video? 1/2
