>Surely if the machine you go to for answers regularly makes things up you would just stop using it? Not necessarily, namely because P != NP. Verifying the correctness of a solution is faster than solving it. Thus a system that outputs

Thermal dissipation scales quartically with T, that's about as graceful as you can get from a physics POV, very few things scale at that rate. COTs GPUs throttle at about 90-100C but that's because they have plastic parts and sold

Pinch to zoom on an early iphone navigating those fixed-width sites worked surprisingly well. I still prefer it to the responsive pages where stuff moves unpredictably and annoyingly. Before you never had that feeling that the webpage was

Right but that's because you've now layered in government control. 401k plans are more heavily regulated, often negotiated by the employer rather than the employee. The real question is why are employers able to limit employee 40

The beauty of capitalism is you have a choice. There are already ETFs that exclude SpaceX/Elon's company's for those who so desire. See QQNE and SPNE.

Yes it would be better if it took these into account but doing so would not change the overall numbers. Risk of perforation is something like .03% and almost never fatal whereas a colonoscopy reduces colorectal cancer mortality by 60-70%.

Not sure it's so clever because I completed it as "not always wrong but often wrong", which their graph in the article seems to confirm. Mainstream predictions are easy, usually it means predicting status-quo. It's the

Just as there a counter-suits perhaps we need more counter-laws. When something like this is defeated, a law is instead introduced to make chat control explicitly illegal.

I doubt that, there really wasn't much effort put to allowing GPUs to run hotter. You can always add a heat pump to create the thermal gradient of the GPU can't handle it itself.

Energy radiation scales T^4 so physics is really on your side here. If you can engineer GPUs to run a little hotter you get significant decreases in radiator size required.

What law of physics do orbital data centers violate? You must have learned some strange physics.

Good thing Elon's companies have a history of moving engineering impossibilities from impossible to slightly late. Remember when globally competitive electric cars, re-usable boosters, catching a rocket with chopsticks, playing a fps g

That is true but likely only temporarily. Why is the single worker even needed? We tend to have a pretty human-centric worldview so if there's a single human working to keep a hotel running, our default is to attribute all the generat

Marx fails to imagine a world in which labor actually has little to no value. His worldview is primarily that capitalists 'steal' the valuable labor. However it doesn't seem that that is actually the world we are in. Instea

Perhaps it is the use of the dollar as an instrument of offensive diplomacy that is weakening it. Economic sanctions used to be rare, between 2000 and 2021 they grew by 1000% and the list is something like 17,000 entities long. Is USD stil

These already exist and there are very few use-cases because typically waiting a little longer for a significantly better answer is preferable.

No because profitability is only required to enter not to stay.

This is mostly due to human attention and how the human vision system works.

Index investors often believe that indexes work well because they average everything out. The reality is something like 96% of public companies underperform treasuries. ref: https://paretoinvestor.substack.com/p/why-96-
