Twitter's ad revenue is reported to have doubled since Musk took over so, hum, yeah. It must be that non-leftist politics is a business failure on the net.

Who exactly is reporting that? Any search I do for twitter ad revenue 2023 are just hits along those lines, especially ones referencing the second one as it's more recent.

Not so much in Canada.

The majority of our power is hydro/tidal and nuclear. Natural Gas, petroleum/oil, and coal/coke are roughly 18.6% of our total power generation and that was back in 2019.

You are still right that solar and wind aren't yet well developed here either yet though.

Also the fact that a system from 5-6 years ago still holds up even for gaming these days unless you have some very very specific needs or want 4k+ output.

A lot of people are just fine with their 1920x1080 at around 60fps for games, and outside games unless you're doing seriously computation heavy work like 3d rendering and such there just isn't much impetus to upgrade with the cost of literally everything climbing like crazy. I suppose some things like hardware video encoding for streams is a draw, but even that is a small subset of the total market.

Today, the bosses do all their own spreadsheet work and write their own reports

I was with you until this heh. In my experience no they do not, they get a jr analyst to do it then take credit for the resulting reporting.

You're still right in that that's just a small number of analysts versus floor upon floor of people doing computations like in the past though, for sure.

Those reports about ChatGPT 4 having 100 trillion parameters has been called complete bullshit by OpenAI's own CEO.

When asked about one viral (and factually incorrect) chart that purportedly compares the number of parameters in GPT-3 (175 billion) to GPT-4 (100 trillion), Altman called it “complete bullshit.”
