    Aren’t they having major issues delivering on their AI comitments? I’ll have to do some googling but I thought I read that they werent meeting target delivery schedules and going so far as punishing any customers they found out were using competing AI services to fill the gap waiting on Nvidia to deliver.

    I feel like shit like that burries companies on erning reports way more than the market usually expects.

    In my experience not delivering on target schedules is just another thursday in any industry but when a company responds pissy like Nvidia may have done, its a tough metric to measure despite the customers getting shit on will NEVER commit to another substantial purchasing agreement with the pissy company ever again.

    Guna tries to find sources and will follow up with what I can find or to redact everything I wrote for making it all up lol and take the angry mod chasing me out of town.

    Edit: Oh shit. That did not take long at all. What a shithead company. I knew they had reason when they start3d acting like little cunts for their GPU’s getting scalped and used for mining during covid but now this is turning into a trend.

    You combine alienating the customer base they are investing, I assume, the most amount of operwting cost and investment into with an outrageously inflated market value and I imabout to go around my neighborhood epsteining kids for cash to dump into Nvidia puts. That’s coming from someone who forgot for 2 years now, my Webull password lol

    Hear hear! Have spent my entire voting life living in NY. Ill support republican or democratic depending on candidates. However, at the poles, I vote 3rd party every fucking time for president. We dont get fucking primaries, the only election where NY went red was the fucking Reagan landslide over whatshisname who only won the districts for his hometown and congressional district. The point being, use every platform available to vote for what you believe in. We’ll never see a 3rd party candidate take NY but if every ygear if that 3rd party pool gets bigger and bigger, I know it may not be much, but it means my vote is vindicated and not wasted like it would be if i just voted with the crowd or didnt vote at all.

    Ok thats a half empty glass of sunshine if I ever saw one. How you guna spend your time conversing with something that’ll live less than a year, shit out a bunch of seeds, then die? Why not find out what the Oaks, Cypresses’ses’, Hemlocks and Maples have to say about the day America was conceived, birthed, crawled, walked, flew, first fuck last fuck. Shit I’d retire and walk the trails listening to stories from something that has expierienced 3 life spans.

    Well put. Your comment hit shockingly close to home for me and describes really well exactly what you’ll find in tons of small to mid sized privately owned manufacturing facilities.

    Super short story of my experience with this:

    Worked at my family’s owned machine shop for years. Toward the end of my time there, unbeknownst to anyone outside of ownership, the company went through a series of LEAN manufacturing and general procedural changes. Hindsight being 20/20 its glaringly obvious they were prepping to sell to an investor group.

    One of these changes was the addition of an actual maintenance department (tell tale sign I teach people now is that when places add a “department” and the department is a single dude or dudette they’re fluffing their tinder picks for more sellers to swipe right). So up to this point for the previous idk all the years I was alive up to that point, all maintenance on the Mazacs was done by whoever ran the machine until they couldnt at which point Mazac would be called to send out a rep.

    So one day I come in to the machine I spent 1000x’s more time inside than the time spent inside all the females ive been inside of put together was padlocked for lock out tag out. Start times were staggered depending on department and maintence didnt come in for another hour. I read the maintenance report, saw it was a coolant line problem I’ve fixed dozens of times. Went to maintenance cage, grabbed the dude’s key, unlocked the lockout tag out, fixed the problem and had the machine running before maintenance punched in for the day.

    Hot damn was that a mistake. Got a big write up, management calls a meeting with me making claims they were doing me a favor by not firing me. The issue wasnt the unauthorized unlocking of rhe machine because I was trained for lock out tag out procedures. The issue was that I unlocked a machine that was lockout tag out’ed by another person.

    Whole fucking thing didnt sit well with me. By this time there was no secret if the sale, managment was transitioning, and the whole thing felt like a flex by management to make a show and used me as their public tar and feathering.

    So stubborn as mule me reads the whole section of the osha manual for lock out tag out. Pulled the training records. Put everything together and went into the person’s office responsible for the whole shitshow that was the special meeting to demonstrate that I wouldnt get special treatment. Laid out for him how the company failed to follow mandated training schedule, never assigned trained lock out tag out personel with assigned tags, then once they started assigning tags they never assigned tags to the previously trained team members and lastly never provided adequate resources on the policy and procedural changes for employees to reference.

    Half way through this very aggressive conversation the dudes office had the newly appointed GM with almost every other member of management from the meeting.

    Despite the classic internet meme where everybody stood up and cheered, its honestly the closest i could imagine to having people cheer lol. Noone chimed in most just took it in but there were enough faces with shiteating grins thst in the moment I felt certain I successfully threw what he thought was the perfect opening move for his new promotion right the fuck back in his face.

    The most satisfying part wasnt telling him somthing along the lines of, “The cognitive dissonance it takes to schedule a special meeting with attendance from every single department lead and fucking manager there just to fuckin tell me Im not getting special treatment shows how unfit you are at this role.” Naaaa the best part was shortly after the meeting I resigned, then about a year later I’m told, “Have you checked out your old production manager’s new youtube channel?” I respond wtf you talking about, “You didnt know [insert anonymous name] got fired and started his own youtube channel hes calling consulting videos but really its just him talking to a camera the same stupid ideas and methods that got him fired. But you gotta check it out cuz the last video he posted this week his wife walks uo behind him and just start shaking his titty! He even puts into the comment an apology that he couldnt rerecord it because of how great the 45 mins of recording was upto that point!”

    To this day my heart melts with joy knowing someone I called dumb was proven by a jury of our peers to be undoubtedly as dumb as I said he was.

    I’d start with a braoder picture first that will have the best chance of naturally funneling you to the information you seek.

    I’d start with looking up what merits are used to consider a government ran program successful.

    From there use those merits but look for examples of programs and the governments responsible for the programs that have been used as models for what happens when a program FAILS to meet each of those merits.

    Then look at what each of the failed programs cost to the taxpayers and what percentage of that goverment’s total the failed program accounts for.

    Divide those costs by the population of tax payering citizens and you will have what earch failed program cost each person.

    Do the same process for successful programs to form a picture of what efficient tax funded programs vs inefficient/failed programs look like.

    Ive done similar analysis cant remember what the reson specifically was for but the added bonus of doing the search yourself is eventually you’ll start finding similar researchers doing similar analysis and discovering methods, questions, variables you didnt even know you were missing.

    What I do remember from my similar search was finding several really good articles on the systematic failures plagueing government ran programs that exist accross many different government models and why they cant be fixed without a complete overhaul of how a governing body is structured.

    One of the things they broje down is how any government ran program is the same entity assessing the cost efficiency of a program is almost always the same entity making its budget proposals. Which is the same entity that usually advocated and proposed the program. Which is the same entity whose tenure is dependent on the success of the program.

    Its been a really long time since I read the article and did my best from memory but without finding the articles, ill admit I may have butchered explaining that example lol.

    Basically for a governing power to have longevity it needs to have redundancies to prevent burning out and those redundancies make gorernment ran programs incapable of having many of the natural variables of business to affect any government ran program.

    Again, full disclaimer I’m shooting from the hip and the take away should be the method that works for me to find answers for either really obscure topics or really specific topics.
