Rice and Chessboard, and When Will I Reap My Investment? - Long Post for Quarantine Reading

Seorang teman saya yang baru saja join ke investasi (saham) bertanya kepada saya: "ya kalo kita invest trus, trus kapan kita bisa merasakan hasilnya? Kan enak juga tuh bisa jalan2, beli ini itu, dsb. Masuk portofolio terus ngerasainnya kapan?"

.

Mungkin ada yang pernah dengar cerita ini. Cerita ini ada dalam banyak versi, tapi saya akan menceritakan versi yang paling legendaris saja.

"Alkisah di India zaman dahulu kala, ada sebuah raja kaya raya yang gemar bermain catur. Raja tersebut mengalahkan semua orang di penjuru negeri tersebut dalam permainan catur. Karena bosan, si Raja membuat sebuah sayembara bahwa bagi yang menang bisa memilih hadiah berupa perhiasan dan emas.

Pada suatu ketika, seorang pertapa datang dan mengajak Raja bermain catur. Sebelum permainan dimulai, Raja bertanya: "apa hadiah yang kamu inginkan jika menang?", dan si pertapa menjawab: "saya ingin 64 kotak papan catur ini diisi oleh biji beras dengan syarat nilai biji beras pada kotak berikutnya adalah 2 kali nilai biji beras kotak sebelumnya." Sang Raja terbahak-bahak dan menyanggupi permintaan tersebut.

Singkat cerita, Raja pun kalah dari pertapa tersebut. Dan Raja menyanggupi permintaan Pertapa. Kotak pertama diisi oleh 1 butir beras, kotak kedua 2 butir beras, kotak keempat 8 butir beras dst. Ketika mencapai kotak ke 16, sudah 32.768 butir beras yang harus ditaruh. Dan mencapai kotak ke 30, sang Raja pun sadar bahwa dia tidak bisa memenuhi permintaan sang Pertapa karena beras di gudang persediaan sudah habis. Masih ada 34 kotak lagi, dan setiap kotak adalah 2 kali lipat kotak sebelumnya.

Si pertapa pun berkata, "Tidak usah dibayar sekarang", dan si Pertapa pun menjelma menjadi Dewa Khrisna. Itupun sebabnya hingga saat ini ada tradisi di India pada hari tertentu yang memberi makan orang miskin dengan panganan beras untuk membayar "hutang" sang Raja kepada Khrisna."

.

Jadi, apa ada yg penasaran berapa jumlah beras di atas papan catur jika 64 kotak tersebut terisi dngn peraturan seperti di atas? Well, jumlahnya adalah... 18.446.744.073.709.551.615, atau 18 juta triliun butir. Setara dengan 210 miliar ton dan bisa menutupi seluruh India setinggi 1 meter. Hingga hari ini, produksi beras dunia kita belum mencapai nilai ini. Luar biasa bukan, mengingat semuanya berawal dari 1 butir beras saja.

Nah, cerita di atas adalah kisah bagaimana luar biasanya Compound Interest atau Bunga-Berbunga yang pernah saya bahas di artikel pertama saya. Terus apa hubungannya sama keluh kes

Mainonta. Missä menee raja?

Tuossa vastikään taloyhtiöni aulaan asennettiin pari kappaletta isoja näyttöjä toimimaan ilmoitustauluina. Näytöt on jaettu keskeltä kahteen alueeseen joista toisessa pyörii mainoksia ja toisessa näkyy talonyhtiön tiedotteita. Näytöt asentanut nimeltä mainitsematon firma ilmeisesti asentaa näitä näyttöjä veloituksetta taloyhtiöihin sillä ehdolla, että saavat pyörittää niissä omia maksettuja mainoksia.

Ei siinä että itseäni liikuttaisi tuo näyttöjen asennus, mutta se laittoi miettimään kuinka paljon nykypäivänä tuputetaan mainoksia joka luukusta. Rajoituksiahan on ilmeisesti sen suhteen mitä saa mainostaa (alkoholi, tupakka yms), mutta onko mitään sääntöjä sen suhteen missä saa mainostaa ja miten? Onko meillä kohta Blade Runner tyyliin valtavia hologrammeja talojen katoilla joissa heiluu henkilöt tuotteita esittelemässä?

Raja Koduri claims Intel is working on something like an ASIC to replace GPU mining. What would that look like?

I would hope they can free the gaming GPU market from the grip of miners.

https://youtu.be/Yre8CHS73-Q?t=1700

How much of a GPUs core components outside of memory bandwidth are actually needed for mining? What parts inside a GPU could be completely stripped out or scaled way down without having any significant effect on hash rate? Is it possible to build a GPU the size of the die on an RX 6600xt or 5700xt at like 230-250mm2, but with the memory bus and memory bandwidth of an RTX 3080ti/3090?

I feel like if you could take something like an RX 6600xt, and remove all the unnecessary stuff for mining on it, such as video output, the media engine, and all L3 infinity cache cache, and then triple the memory controllers to make a 384 bit bus, 12GB card with 18gbps memory. How much compute do you actually need on a theoretical card like this? People are already underclocking these to sub 800-1000mhz rates, so it seems like even 3-4 TFLOPS is good enough to feed that card. I don't think this potential card would need even more than 10 TFLOPS if even that.

No one would want these cards once they are done being flogged to death, but if they can charge as much money for them as a current RTX 3070, while costing less to make than a 6600xt, and being as profitable as a 3090, it's a win either way. Especially since it'll make GPUs look bad for mining.

Sobre limpiarse la raja y los bidés

Fuera de webeo, he visto minimo 10 publicaciones en distintos subreddits acerca de lo bonito que es limpiarse el aro del jordan con agüita o con toallitas húmedas. ¿Creen que sea coincidencia, efecto dominó o publicidad subliminal de las grandes bidempresas?

Además, ya me convencieron. Desde chico me enseñaron a limpiarme con e m u l s i o n a d o que deja el papel como toallita humeda y las montañas suaves en su estrecho. ¿Recomiendan cambiar a toallita húmeda? y si es así, ¿cómo se usa, la paso unas veces y listongo? O tendría que experimentar visualmente o con las papilas gustativas incluso el papel para asegurarme de la limpieza.

Finalmente, ¿cuánto sale uno de estos bonitos bidés que se ponen en la taza?; esos aditamentos para el pobre que no tiene espacio. Estoy realmente considerando uno. Si no cuenten el truco del aseo potal en la tina y cómo hacerlo (qué posición ponerse, si me tengo que empelotar o qué para que funcione, etc).

Raja Salameh earns a commission every time new banknotes are printed

https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07BEIRUT352_a.html

The Embassy has not been able to confirm or refute rumors that Salameh profited from strategic trading of GOL debt ahead of Paris III and from family connections at the BDL. Salameh signed a contract with Canadian firm British-American Banknote for printing the new Lebanese currency when be became BDL Governor in the early nineties. Salameh,s brother, Raja, is involved in the deal along with former Syrian Vice President Khaddam,s son, Jamal. Raja Salameh earned a commission on the deal then, and continues to earn a commission to date every time new banknotes are printed (as the quality of the paper is not good and the new currency has to be replaced every few years). Riad Salameh has sponsored his son-in-law Chafic Abillamah in the BDL Legal Department and in his private law firm's legal business
