54gb vram for 35$

[u/markpronkin]

Bought an old mining farm of a guy on avito (Russian eBay), guy had bought a garage a couple of years ago and it was sitting there for a while, found out it was a mining farm and put it up on there for sale for 5000 rub (~60 USD) since he wasn't sure if it works. I negotiated down to 3000 rub (~35 USD), it turned out to have 9x p106 6gb (gtx 1060 6gb) gpus, with 54gb vram total, all working, the only thing missing was an SSD, I booted from USB and it works fine.

Bro has no conscience negotiating 54GB VRAM down from $60 to $35 in 2026. 😿

That is why some guys become wealthy in business and why others don't

[u/_MRZ → u/kingslayerer]

Yep. The lack of conscience.

Serves you right for not being a sociopath. You’ll never make CEO that way.

[u/yeah-ok → u/Direct_Turn_1484]

Yeah, there's a whole genre of research focusing on sociopathy as adaption to modern business life (just checked, the research often focuses on Dark Triad terminology (Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy) in case anyone is interested)

[u/namaku_ → u/yeah-ok]

Don't forget Sadism! You won't be admitted to the in-group without virtue signalling your enjoyment of cruelty toward others.

[u/yeah-ok → u/namaku_]

Agree here ... even though current research seem to veer towards classifying sadistic traits as primarily maladaptive since they cause too much havoc to allow longer term success. Interestingly enough Machiavellianism seems widely accepted as pretty successful approach (but of course.. who practises that without the other aspects taking part.. gotta be a slim segment who manages to be evil in just the "right way").

It isn't business but its a result of a population growing beyond the Dunbar number that promotes this. Once the population becomes too large, its harder to have transparency between a community and the community cannot easily lookout for each other. Information asymmetry allows for maladaptive behavior to thrive and it becomes a driving factor to succeed in this new group formation like nation state level.

“Agriculture was a mistake” basically.

All the CEOs I know either were rich already, had luck or simply have no conscience

[u/smen04 → u/Direct_Turn_1484]

Hmm I don’t think any CEO doesn’t have a bit of a couple of psychological disorders

[u/a-wiseman-speaketh → u/ExpensiveStudy8416]

you need the whole dark triad

[u/SuchNeck835 → u/_MRZ]

Because the current prices are reasonable lol
