if so and it's not mil hardened, would it be more susceptible to EM jamming, I wonder?

the headline reminded me of "ancient computers" in sci fi games, which was essentially a tower of Hanoi problem inmplemented in-game

I'm wondering whether the simple fix would be: a) have NSA hack the controller for these things given it's commodity hardware, or just have Nvidia code in an "anti war" routine that shuts the thing down if it detects it

I think this was also published in a book. which I think might be in the giant pile of "to read" books on my shelf (realizing my modern job is terrible for book reading)

I am silently grateful to JetBlue for ordering Airbuses from the get go...

yeah but then it'll have to compete w/ aspirin/clopidogrel...meaning they're limited on the margins they can set for the med, and injectables tend to be pricey...

yes but tpa/tnk is way closer to an angioplasty than selatogrel...

these antiplatelets help a little bit w/ overall risk reduction after a heart attack, I'd say, but the big game changer would be a clot buster like an injectable version of alteplase/tenecteplase or something like that. The

what's so tiny about a box that has 6 gpus?

the models came out of an academic CS lab...can always fall back to those....

I remember his opening line at NEURIPS 2017, to an audience of grad students and postdocs, "only Nvidia would unveil their most expensive product to an audience who's completely broke" Then he went into a comedic monologue a

granted, at this point we plug the computer into the GPU, so it might not make a difference...

I suppose this is another illustration of "defaults are powerful"

is Ian not writing for anandtech anymore?

it would be nice in my field...a lot of computational neuroscience projects seem to default to MATLAB, so i have to keep my license active to use them, although I feel like Python is making inroads.

the last time I looked at microbiome stuff, someone at Stanford tried to chop up all the microbes in poop and sequence all the RNA/DNA sequences they could collect from that soup. It amounted to several petabytes of data or something

It's actually a pretty big field in neurophysiology along several levels, and not just w/ LLMs, ppl are trying to throw more basic EE DSP at it. Most analyses can do simple things - i.e. differntiator/discriminator type thin

Yes, that's why it was banned in Massachusetts, if I recall, there were state schools/institutions that were using it way back when.

So...there's a distinction: Electroshock therapy for behavioral modification in schools: bad Modern Electroconvulsive therapy under anesthesia: actually effective and arguably lifesaving for severe clinical depression.
