The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 9 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Ross: GridMarkets cuts rendering turnaround from months to hours
“We serve studios who make movies, animations, and special effects, and they would use our service to submit what's called rendering and simulation, which is a very computationally intensive application, and through a button that they can push in their applicat…”
Ross: Roughly 80% of Global HPC Servers Sit Powered and Idle
“So today there are roughly 80% of the high performance computing servers that are in the world are not being used. They're idle. They're electrified. They're racked and stacked, but they're just sitting there waiting for something to come to them.”
Ross: GridMarkets processes over 1M credit hours monthly
“Well, we've I would say we're in the probably just over the millions, million mark at the moment.”
Ross: Rendering a standard 1-minute ad requires ~100 servers for 3–4 days
“A typical job will take probably around a hundred machines working potentially over a three to four day period. And that, that configuration would produce a typical advertisement. So, you know, maybe, maybe a minute long, or maybe a bit longer than that.”
Ross: Major animated films require millions of compute hours to render
“When you get into large animations, like the ones that Disney and other movies studios produce, you're literally talking about millions of computer hours that are needed to produce those kinds of movies.”
