I initially saw just the latter part of the meeting where the conflict happens and it seemed like a premeditated thing, but after finding a video that shows the meeting from the beginning[1], I agree that it comes across differently. It see

Perhaps the technique requires a lot of additional metadata, so that you could fit a 50% full "normal" hash table in less memory than it takes to store a 99% full hash table using this new approach. Thus the normal hash table can

Jevon's paradox would imply that there's good reason to think that demand for shovels will increase. AI doesn't seem to be one of those things where society as a whole will say, "we have enough of that; we don't ne

Price of labor is part of it, but it's mostly the batteries. China is basically the only country that makes LFP batteries in high volume. That may be gradually changing (some big patents expired not long ago), but it'll take tim
