40GHZ memory/compute for 10-100x power sounds like a great idea to me. We are going tohave energy abundant at some point.

Sure, but how do I know you in particular are intelligent? Any test you can device for this, ChatGPT would reliably pass if the medium was text, while a good fraction of humans might actually fail. It does a pretty good job if the medium wa

You can use the reactor in the open ocean where shielding is not a big deal, and switch to conventional fuels when needed. Nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers already exist in pretty good numbers.

Placing/moving containers for some specific loading/unloading goal has been a solved problem for a while. You can imagine this needs solving pretty hardcore optimization problems.

Okay based on your calculation, here's a neat way to do this. The battery capacity you have calculated needs about 500 shipping containers. A large shipping vessel carries 24000 container. So make the batteries containerized, and easy

Looking forward to this answer! Many of the absurdities of the US immigration system exist for good reasons and it would be great to understand the nuances.

It's a consequence of keeping our general purpose single threaded programming model the same for five decades. It has it's merits, but the underlying hardware has changed. Intel tried to push this responsibility to the compiler wi

Same consequence yes. But it will not execute xor, nor will it actually zero out eax in most cases. It'll do something similar to constant propagation with the information that whenever xor eax, eax occurs; all uses of eax go through a

It's funny how machine code is a high level language nowadays, for this example the CPU recognizes the zeroing pattern and does something quite a bit different.

What's a realistic number in your opinion? I managed to save about 100k per year in Denver and Salt Lake City with mid tier tech and govt lab jobs. I'm suspicious of the claim that Atlanta is significantly different. From what I h

I meant everyone with a good tech job, not everyone in the country. About a 1:1000 ratio I'd guess.

You do not understand compounding growth. You could have looked up the numbers for indices yourself, but here you go - S&P500 -> ~4 million NDXT (top 100 tech) -> ~14 million. > just save 100k out of your 170k comp Yes, that wa
