The cuts are justified regardless as they are in wasteful areas that don’t contribute to anything you listed. The next argument would be that most of the spending is not wasteful, so doge will fail to make a dent, as most money is going to

Another example is Joe Biden, who had this exact thing happen (covid twice in a row with paxlovid). Notable because while the chance of him just catching it again from someone are not 0, but about as low as it can go (an elderly POTUS under

AWS has a cool general approach to this problem (one badly behaving user effecting others on their shard) https://aws.amazon.com/builders-library/workload-isolation-u... The basic idea is to assign each user to multipl

Having a permanent bureaucracy that ignores directives from the executive only really benefits democrats (look at the Washington DC presidential vote totals). So this executive order is not a both sides thing, or about executive overreach.

To me Milei is worse because he should know better with his background in economics. Argentina is also a relatively big user of crypto due to their currency being worthless, crypto actually has utility there [1] Trump has been licensing his

Its the same in the US. Except for texas which does some slightly more innovative things. Its really hard to do anything else than overbuild, Texas was strongly criticized for underbuilding its network when there was an ice storm a few yea

This is a third party site that just scrapes utility websites. So open data initiatives are not relevant.

Gas turbines can be spun up really quickly through either portable systems (like xAI did for their cluster) [1] or actual builds [2] in an emergency. The biggest limitation is permits. With a state like Texas and a Federal Government thats

The new scaling vector is “test time compute” ie spending more compute in inference.

Much more likely is what xAI did, portable gas turbines until the grid catches up.

China bans them. Europe, Canada and Australia are constantly trying to regulate the media parts of the business. If they had the capacity to built an alternative (like china) a ban or forced divestiture doesn’t seem that out there.

The report identified (but didn't directly name) 1 sheriff. Assuming it’s the current sheriff, a quick google of his background + the fact that he "facilitated" the militia members FBI interview gives a pretty strong hint why

Capital one shopping (basically the same thing) definitely originates traffic, like it prompts users to go to other websites for a better deal.

I think the author is twisting things a bit to suit their own hiring needs. Researchers at big tech companies always struggled to get promoted without showing some sort of impact. What changed is before they could just publish papers (with

How do the cache sizes compare between AMD GPU’s and nvidia? I remember reading a while ago they were quite different (enough to make flash attention painful to implement)
138.
by cavisne 2y ago
I think it’s hardware not software. “Cuda moat” is a misnomer. The PTX spec is relatively short (600 page pdf). Triton directly writes PTX, skipping cuda. Flash attention was created by a non nvidia employee without access to any of the sec

This seems like exactly the sort of problem Elon is good at solving (or more accurately incentivizing engineers to solve). xAIs cluster buildout (powered by generators while the grid was being ramped up) would’ve had a lot of lessons.

The issue is in corporate jobs (including tech) Friday is a very relaxed day. If you are working a shorter week than everyone else, you end up doing the same amount of work in less time for less money.

Didn't they end up taxing competitors who didn't use the government owned network?

What happened here is a specific scam where companies are targeted for ADA violations, which are so vague it’s impossible to “comply”.

Bizarre article, it makes it sound like this is some new experiment and a contrast to the US? Homeless camps were effectively legalized by a 2018 court ruling in the US, as long as there isn’t shelter space. Sounds simple enough, build more

The past few years there has been a weird situation where Google and AWS have had worse GPU's than smaller providers like Coreweave + Lambda Labs. This is because they didn't want to buy into Nvidias proprietary Infiniband stack f

Im not sure Google is GPON (or has passive splitters at all). They were very early to deployments, and their plans are always symmetrical (which doesnt make sense for any standard *PON deployment).

Article is from 2020, when there was a big load increase from WFH. They way HFC (cable internet) works you would have to cap upload speed for everyone on the network, as it uses time multiplexing for uploads.

What is the basis of the China solar panel install number? Given China lies about their economic data like GDP why do we trust other data?

your data is likely old. IB demand has gone pretty wild since the AI boom.

Only because of Nvidia's margins. "Worse but cheaper" is actually great for a company of Googles scale, but it doesn't make for a particularly compelling press release or paper.
