Any time I asked ChatGPT or another GPT a question regarding science (haven't asked any questions on other topics) I got a mostly correct answer back. And I've asked a few hundred by this point. This includes state of the art rese

Hopefully someone cracks the software to run on cheaper gaming RTX cards. How much is it to rent a VM in the cloud with an H100 or A100 GPU?

So you think everyone visiting NY is a millionaire, who won't trade 2 hours of his/her time for saving money on accommodation.

Is this guy a linguist, published in peer reviewed publications? It's so easy to make up stuff regarding language, that sounds reasonable, but has nothing to do with reality.

Such keyboards are good for people with wrist, shoulder, blood flow, etc. problems. But for the majority of computer users a regular keyboard is good enough - just take a short rest now and then.

There may be 99% chance of failing the great filter in the 500M years before an industrial evolution and 99.99999999% chance of failing it in the 10K years past. Humankind invented nuclear weapons and had a lot of luck that they are hard to

This bottleneck occurred before the split between "us" and neanderthals - so if this small population didn't survive there wouldn't be not only modern humans, but neanderthals as well.

IMHO you're only partially correct. The population of our ancestors was larger before and after the bottleneck. And it's a very important event, no doubt modern human genetics and behavior is influenced by it.

You can't think of a less inspiring figure, than the man who made EVs mainstream and built the most successful space company?

Actually compared to the economies of past societies, the modern economy in the West is amazing. If you work hard, have a little bit above the average intelligence and potentially a bit of luck you can make a lot of money. If not I guess yo

Big if true. Which Chinese fab can make 7nm chips? I thought the best they have is 14nm. Looks like the performance is similar to SD888 - which is not bad, but far behind the current SD8 gen 2.

Selling beer in Russia is not sanctioned by EU. The reason most companies are leaving is the public outcry - if the war continues for 6+ years that may cool down.

Not if the contract says that in the next 5 years the seller can buy back the business from the buyer for say $5M.

Most foreign companies that sold their Russian businesses have put an option in the contract allowing them to buy it back in say 5 years for a fixed sum. So to a degree a temporary transfer of ownership, rather than real sale.
