for example, their people think that GB300s are twice as fast as B300s, when really their benchmarks just incorrectly divide GB300 instances on azure by 8 instead of 4, since they don't read or verify any of the code that executes thei

The semianalysis people have scripts which incorrectly count their numerators and denominators all the time. All their benchmarks are flawed. It is such a slipshod operation and they charge exorbitant amounts of money for it.

There isn't really any clinical evidence for CO2 levels impacting stuff beyond so called "sleep efficiency," where the effect is small (above 1000 ppm is 5% reduction in sleep efficiency) and it has the counterintuitive effec

at least in my experience in university - i didn't really ask this question, since it is obvious to me, but some students have asked it during lecture, or some instructors have volunteered the answer ahead of time - if you ask how to p
