You're not going to have any access to non-local data or services while traveling unless you set up a foreign office first (that's what we did). Or go satellite which in someplaces is a major crime.

When I travel internationally, I do not take any electronics with me. If I need a cell phone, laptop, etc., then I will buy or rent something cheap at the destination. I got into the habit while traveling back and forth the mainland China a

We run Gemini fast for random end user queries for general staff. We have our own on-premise inference server (quad MI300A) that runs Kimi 2.8 extremely well and we transitioned all heavy work to it since it's basically instantaneous f

Oh I know about it... I just hadn't seen a reference to it in years. Kind of like seeing JR Bob Dobbs or the Church of the Subgenius mentioned.

When I was an undergrad (35 years ago) I had at least 2 days a week where I was so busy that I had to choose between eating or sleeping. I usually picked eating because not sleeping meant I could pick up another shift or grind on a class pr

Well that company has been collecting that info for all kinds of analyis for decades (even used pen and paper long long time ago) and its name rhymes with hall mart. Just an FYI.

I would be very interested to see how these laws deal with camera systems that do not do ALPR. At work, we had a system that would scrape offline video and pull faces, plates, etc. and identify them and that system is over 15 years old. No

There's nothing stopping you from buying an LPR and publishing the data. Also, with a PI license, you (might) be able to access the nationwide Nlets LPR Index. https://nlets.org/resources/blog/nlets-news-our-n

They also have to be feeling the heat of the ASIC vendors. AMD just acquired Taalas and they work with Cerebras all the time on special projects. ASICs outgun nVidia's chips by an order of magnitude.

Rat and mice infestations are not fun. I have had enough trouble dealing with my pollinator and monarch butterfly habitats and mice. I actually TRY to get rabbits and squirrels but mice go after their babies.

Basically right from Lisa Su's speech: "AMD is essentially taking one of its MI350X accelerators and cutting it in half, resulting in a card with half as many compute resources, half as much memory, and perhaps most importantly, a

California has both very high taxes on gas and a custom formulation that is only used in California... which is just about the most Californian thing I can think of.
