Salt... it has lots and lots of salt in it. It's been sitting for 20+ years. It isn't going to "compost" any more than it already has.

There are plenty of blacks (and latino, indian, phillipino) in my neigborhood as it's a firmly middle class neighborhood. What we don't want is CRIME and transient residents that don't care about the area along with the landl

I purposely bought my house in a federal and state historic neighborhood so that I wouldn't have to wake up one morning and discover I was back in a dense neighborhood. I lived in downtown urban environments from age of 18 to 52. That

It was directly tied to the disruption of neighborhoods culture. That's the root of my supposition.

Never heard of white flight, huh?

And then the current residents leave before their investments (their homes) lose value and the neighborhood as a whole loses value (or turns into a slum). People vote with their feet and their wallets.

Well, yeah. Transient residents (and that's AirBnBs, too) raises the likelihood of more criminal behavior and lowers property values. Most places are not NYC where renting is the common model and only the rich own. Now condos, sure. Mu

They specifically mention AIDS and Parkinsons, both of which the patient could be terminal for decades but otherwise mostly fine. There's plenty here to discuss without being hyperbolic.

This appears to be an opportunity for middleware companies. Put another ai agent in front of your prompt to decompose it into micro-prompts following an interrogative chain of inquiry and synthesize an answer for the original query. Basical

Imagine the price of a $9 million NVL72 dropped to about $100, used 4 orders of magnitude less power, was the size of ARM cpu, be bundled with pretty much any electronic device, and ran as fast a frontier AI is today. That's about how

AMD MI400 series is already shipping to customers (basically everybody) and it is crazy fast (8x to 10x faster than the previous gen and beats published Vera numbers in FP8, loses in FP4) and 432 GB per chip. 72 chip unified rack architectu

Partnerships then consolidation comes next...

Yep it will be ASICs and DSPs all over again. Orders of magnitude changes.

That's about it across the whole server. Kimi 2.8 is about as big as we can go. Kimi 3 is massive.

Correct but even with 30 simultaneous users, we're not seeing any noticable lag compared to AIaaS even with agentic workloads.

Our use cases are data analysis, software development, general AI chat with RAG so far.

We're running Kimi 2.8 on a $107k server and getting around 50k tokens per second or better on most things. We've already saved money compared to last years token cost on Claude/Gemini

We use it for business analysis in a manufacturing environment (inputs from sensors, databases, external signals, etc.) We also use it as a programming tool to design software, ingest logs and do analysis, find patterns in data, etc. We bou

There is a variation of lime wash that includes a fatty oil as a sealant and has been around for 100s of years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadelakt

Yes. We have a quad MI300A server and run several inference models on it. For $107k it has saved us so much money on tokens already and it's a heck of a lot faster than cloud services.

AMD Instinct is their direct competitor for compute and they are better per dollar, better per watt, and out competing on raw performance. Only thing holding them back is fab capacity which nVidia keeps buying in bulk to keep them small.

In many instances removing or repurposing lanes (road diet) decreases congestion much more effectively than just adding capacity. Congestion occurs naturally regardless of capacity due to fluctuations in flow (jitter) more often than being

I have $100 devices in industrial devices that have them. In bulk, they cost next to nothing (not quite as cheap as RFID but getting there).

More likely 4G LTE MTM ( https://www.verizon.com/business/products/internet-of-things... ). It's dirt cheap and paid for by the vendor of the device it is in (usually) in the name of 'telemetry'. I&#x

Chipmaking is not a high labor industry (other than during the building of plants). China's one big advantage over other work forces is massive amounts of labor that can be directed by central planning. As their labor costs have gone u
