Is their somewhere a (honest!) exploration/essay on why there are so few nuclear power plants being build? Like South Korea is building some, and China (but they invest way more in renewables). All other countries are either building 0

Since all comments seem to agree that noise cancelling wont work, 3 practical tips: 1. use the Bernoulli-Effect, aka get "up to 50+%"(depends on fan model) more airflow by placing the fan 0.2(0.5) - 1.5m away from the window.

[+114% Attention acceleration] Any idea how they got +50% FP4 from the same silicon? "Firmware" improvements? Or did they found a way to disable the INT8 and FP64 units and re-use them e.g. as overspill registers? Any other ideas

I could not get over the fact that 0,0 in d3 is the top left corner instead of the bottom left. Why?? Everything in real life uses bottom left for 0,0! Probably because the first EGA/VGA accelerators worked this way to save one instruc

Not that I dislike criticizing OpenAI, but this seems to be a case of "your users are way dummer than you thought". Like the button says "allow it to be shown in web searches". How can you misunderstand this?

Nvidia is full of shit, but this article is full of shit, too. A lot of human slop, some examples: - 12VHPWR is not at fault / the issue. As the article itself points out, the missing power balancing circuit is to blame. The 3090 Ti ha
