We could spend hours describing what makes Murmel so great. We could tell you about its powerful aggregation and indexing algorithms. Or, we could speak at length about our mission to fight disinformation and fake news.

We value your time. That's why decided to give you a sneak peak instead.

It should have been obvious that #climatechange stops #skiing, but I was somehow unaware of that until this article.

I don't sympathise. From my one childhood skiing holiday and all subsequent encounters with skiers, it is a fun sport, but the company is awful. Crowds of brash, noisy, shallow, moneyed eejeits. 🤮 Naturally, skiing is almost compulsory among England's #HoorayHenrys.

So it's great to see #skiresorts closing fast. #GoodRiddance

I've had the growing impression, in recent years, that it has become thoroughly uncool to do your best. Exceeding expectations is embarrassing, merely meeting them, even worthy of ridicule. I see it all the time. You're caught rehearsing, or journaling in public? how performative. It kept you up at night, did it? you poured sweat into it? such a try-hard.

But I don’t think this is new. It’s that ol' familiar cynicism, one we’ve cycled through before. It usually precedes a moment when people grow tired of poorly made things, and what is done carefully and thoughtfully can once again be appreciated without shame. I'm hopeful that we're about to emerge into a renaissance, and convinced that my friends who are doing their honest best are just avant-garde.

Nvidia Just Paid $20 Billion for a Company That Missed Its Revenue Target by 75%

Nvidia Just Paid $20B for a Company That Missed Its Revenue Target by 75%
----
- 32 minutes ago | 30 points | 7 comments
- URL: blog.drjoshcsimmons.com/p/nvid
- Discussions: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
- Summary: Nvidia bought Groq for $20 billion, 40× its July valuation after a 75% cut, signaling an AI-hardware panic buy to squash a faster, power-sipping LPU rival. The deal exposes a bubble: Groq never hit revenue, OpenAI burns $75bn yearly, data-center power demand is tripling consumer rates, and Nvidia finances its own demand via $100bn “lease-back” loans. MIT finds 95% of firms report zero AI ROI; mass layoffs blamed on AI fail, triggering off-shoring and H-1B wage pressure. Smaller AI players cancel IPOs as valuations tumble; the author expects 2026 cascading down-rounds, credit tightening and the bubble to burst, though AI tools themselves will persist.
