The around 100M tons is what we know to exits and we know where it exits. As you can see, more is getting located as we move on.

8 GB of memory is a little restrictive but still usable for many problems like visual classification problems. Training would take a little more time though as you can't do as much batch processing as it would be possible with more mem

You can totally do some visual classification problems (like object detection) on current consumer hardware. Even more. You can also take some smaller existing language models and fine tune them for some special task - also completely feasi

This is good. It is a little over 1% of the US continuous land mass (e.g. coast to coast without Alaska and other territories).

The confusion comes from wrong vocabulary. There are two different words in use: resources and reserves. Resources is what ever there is in (or in some cases on) the ground. Reserves is what can be viably extracted. World lithium resources

Yes, indeed, it is not, but coincidentally today a person was imprisoned for 50 years for being a little critical about the king of Thailand. 50 years! A young man! It clearly foreshadows this otherwise very good news. Many people I know li

First, it has been not found in US and even if it had, it would have been not a sizable share of US economy, but for Thailand it would be. Second it was told most likely because it is the newest news about Thailand https://www.ny

There is important lesson to learn from here. Everybody who claims that there is not enough some mineral for something must consider the following. First in every moment in time there are certain number of mineral resources - these are know

Perhaps, but we can say that there are certain reasons why the public transportation can be not very good in the developing world. Imagine that we but every country and their development index and their public transportation development ind

I do not think that it is valid to compare a developing country that can't provide even proper sanitation to US. We can compare US to Japan, to Europe, perhaps to some parts of China but certainly not to India - it would be too much ap

It depends. In my case the commute is a (seriously) bumpy bus ride that takes 2-3 times more than by car (the bus has stops and it takes a longer route and I have to change the bus at least once, that adds extra latency). Fortunately the bu

Yes, it certainly means that there should be some structure in the work, but do we need 6 or 600 human level AI agents or instead all can be done by just 1 agent that would do the human intelligence level work just faster? Imagine the same

There are multiple factors. People are easily distracted. They can be also fooled by claiming that something is cause of something else (that it actually is not). There are also foreign adversaries that take advantage of asymmetry that West

US health insurance is simply completely nuts for an European (EU) person. My health insurance is not free (it is taxed as a separate social tax) but it is way, way less than this. There is still one important disclaimer to add. Because ver

I disagree. This is an important context a non US person might overlook.

What country they are talking about? UK, US? I'm not sure that it does apply to other countries - looks to work well by my observations.

If this can be used for training then this magic trick can be enough. Training a language model uses in principle also just one magic trick - trying to predict a next sentence in a large set of ordered sentences.

Yes, that was my point - 10Gbps is just way too slow, even full Thunderbolt bandwidth can be easily saturated in raid configuration - NVMe are just incredibly fast.

There was a moment with the spinning rust drives where it would have made sense to have storage in a networked device and not locally but now it rarely makes sense unless an incredibly fast interconnect could be used. Of course this example

Actually, it needs 4 clicks as one additional click is needed to return to the previous screen (like navigation or media). This means that in total 8 clicks are necessary to turn on and off air circulation. The areas to click are not in the

I got an European plugin hybrid after manual car and there is one thing I very much like about it. When I take off my foot from the gas pedal then it automatically kind of behaves like a manual car depending on the situation. If there is no

While not all people appear to appreciate your comment then I can relate to it. Not everyone enjoys this kind of story and world building and would like to get to the point already.

It's a great movie, saw it in local cinema. It was quite interesting experience to see the art on the big screen.
