Comparing against a raspberry pi 5 is kind of overkill. While a Pico 2 is close to computationally equivalent to a cray 1 now (version 2 added hardware floating point), the cray still has substantially more memory - almost 9MB vs 520k. For

That's what incompletes are for. When life strikes - as it does - give the students a break and let them pick up where they left off with no penalty after the fan blades aren't covered in you know what any more. (This is, at least

They're not confused at all, this is just a (correct) description of TPU v1. The repository is 8 years old.

It's mostly a fusion reactor, to be pedantic.

Most code optimizations end up looking somewhat asymptotic towards a non-zero minimum. If it takes you a week to find a 1% speedup, and the next 0.7% speedup takes you 2 weeks to find ... well, by using the 1% speedup the next one only take

I think you meant to say NIH for the second budget number?

That's weird. My LG front loader has been amazing for 6+ years now. Washes well, super quiet, and energy efficient enough that I ran a load while my house was operating on battery during a 4 day power outage. I would totally buy anothe

"much" more might be overstating it? We get about 6% more UV: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100316142529.h... Which corresponds with the ozone layer being about 5% thinner: https:&#

But it's not. Look at the number of people who voted for Trump believing he would do things he explicitly said he wouldn't. Right-wing control of media sources is a really powerful thing, from Murdoch to Sinclair. The democratic p

This matches my experience having Claude 3.5 and Gemini 2.0-flash generate openSCAD, but I would call it interesting instead of a game changer. It gets pretty confused about the rotation of some things and generally needs manual fixing. But

There are a lot of Republicans who aren't the rolling coal crowd, though. The partisanship is really weird that way. More Americans support environmentally friendly policies than vote Democrat, for example -- unless you tell them it&#x

Loss of automatic inlining of non-generics without LTO, to be a little pedantic. Functions marked #[inline] can still be handled across crates. LTO can inline across crates but, of course, at a substantial compile time cost.

But are you factoring in the opportunity cost, i.e., the lost earnings of not working for four years during college? That's actually the bigger factor for many colleges. And then compute the interest / investment gains on those ea

I think you mean 165, not 16.5? But probably, what, only 50m use public restrooms, but some use multiple times, so 150 uses / liter seems reasonable. That's under 10ml of spray / spill per use, which is maybe a little high bu

That's awesome. :) and even that article is off. They probably were thinking of DistBelief, the predecessor to TF.

Because I'm an idiot and left off a factor of 365. Thank you! A 20k GPU for 30 seconds is 1/3 of a cent. Still more than the power but also potentially profitable under this scenario informing all the other overhead and utilizatio

The first TPU (Seastar) was designed, tested, and deployed in 15 months: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04760 They started becoming available internally in mid 2015.

1/2 kW/minute costs about $0.001 so you technically could make a profit at that rate. The real problem is the GPU cost - a $20k GPU amortized over five years costs $0.046 per second. :)

Yup. (Source: was at brain at the time.) Also holy cow that was 10 years ago already? Dang. Amusing bit: The first TPU design was based on fully connected networks; the advent of CNNs forced some design rethinking, and then the advent of RN

Before replying too quickly to the headline, please note that it's another case of "bad headline-itis" that is conflating two things that the article DOESN'T say. (1) Tesla sales have crashed in Europe. (2) BYD sales are

I think Tesla is a special case given Musk's close relationship / enabling of Trump. The chairman of BYD does not appear to have succumbed to billionaire brain yet. Shifting from Tesla to BYD, were it to happen, is fairly differen

You're misinterpreting the article, which admittedly has a confusing headline. (1) Tesla sales have crashed in Europe. (2) BYD sales are up globally, with the largest gain in China. Most of those sales are not in the EU; the EU has imp

Every situation is unique. The US is a mess in part because of oligarchical control of media, and we still have lots of media organizations that maintain high quality journalism standards. Nationally, ProPublica is doing a great job, for ex
