It’s worth noting nvme and ssds make this possible. If this were off an hdd this approach would likely be slower.

I continue to wait for a compromise pointing to a cdn, cloud provider, or some other shared component like a JavaScript library that underpins the modern internet. This does not appear to be it according to the article. Something like an an

It can. Ubiquitous level 2 is probably more important than fast charging. Being able to get 8kwhs typically requires a 2 phase 50a circuit. Delivering a garage full either requires shared charging, or upgrades to support it.

It’s like an older gpu. It’s able to perform similar to a v100 for some cases we tested out. It was like a 10x the avx512 solution for the same problem on an icelake cpu.

I was calculating TCO vs cloud services the other day and was amazed at how little tier pricing had changed since 2015/2016. Previously they were dropping by ~20% yoy now they’ve stalled out at the current pricing levels. Meanwhile the

Isn’t it well known they had major issues with the battery design and 2 or 3 recalls related to it. If i remember correctly one of them include a warning not to park inside due to the risk of a fire.

AMD was but focused on hpc instead on ml. They have very large installations, but the card is tuned for fp32+ calculations not lower precisions like NVIDIA.

Isn’t this what happened with the credit default swaps? Banks found ways to lend money and pass the rush between them, causing failure for everyone. Yet here we are again with a new version of the same issue.

ASML said they can skip predicting orders for EUV. I would assume that there is one more generation of chips at at least 5nm that achina can hit. The sanctions aren’t working. That said I have a really hard time believing the Mate 60 is a r

Is this a side effect of low interest rates not allowing the traditional investment returns expected for the risk? Largely these folks held commercial real estate and bonds. I keep thinking the near zero interest rates messed up a lot of th

It’s likely about taxes. A company I worked for with two Bay Area locations wanted to use badge data to show that certain employees were not based in SF. They were using badge data to support this, and then they could reduce their sf tax ba

I wonder how much emergency responders have negatively impacted the economy over the years by insisting on safety protocols that are above and beyond what are required. Two examples I can think of are the opposition to battery storage in ho

Yes power in CA is expensive, and might be right for a Volt. However, here is a comparison of a Polestar 2 using $0.36 electricity: Full charge (.36 * 78kwh) = 28.08 Range = 276 mi Cost of fuel per mile = $0.10 Subaru Outback Full tank of

Class 2 would be 9 to 10 kw. For reference 33 kw is around requires cables in the us roughly 1 - 3/4 inch conduit. Each piece of equipment requires its own circuit so you likely have multiple circuits in the conduit depending on code.

Everyone time I read a low charge time, the thing that comes to mind is the ability of the charging cable to carry that much power that quickly. Minimally that means you’re delivering 6x the electricity (2x the amount and 3x as fast). I’m a

The original title here is misleading the report shows a slow down in the inflation rate when looking at the 12 month index. This indicates a 4.8% rate (minus food and energy) compared to something like 5.2% in May. Basically inflation is r

It didn't have cgroups, because at the time it was thought of as a distributed system meaning it would run a single service, authentication for example, and there was no real ability to share resources in the way we do today. Remember

I remember a two decades ago when the engineering team made us implement an open office plan at a company. No one wanted walls or cubes. Now it being rejected more and more. I feel it’s like it’s generational.

I actually tend to think of it to add feature degradation and handle micro service issues. It always seemed better to have the client manage that, and more graceful.

I wondered when this narrative would start. Companies want employees back in the office, and are starting to dial up the fear to do it. This story seems based on a comment a CEO made and nothing more than that. It does highlight real issues

I spent a lot of time thinking about this, and the conclusion I reached is while the cpu may be cheaper, it can generate revenue where the fpga cannot. So even thought the tco may seem upside down the opportunity cost of using a few cores m

Basically it sounds like your water cooling system was undersized. You didn’t have a good method to cool the water, so you just built up heat in your working fluid. The air did a better job because it was open. So you average initial temp w

According to Jonathan Haidt in the righteous mind, western cultures value autonomy, so the behavior is well explained by this.

Kind of a bummer on that. There is definitely a shift going on as folks move out of riskier assets to assets with guaranteed returns. How bad will it get, who knows. The biggest issue I see is that startups failed to build self sufficiency

This is where I think it probably should be. Solar w/o another generation or storage source doesn't accurately represent the full picture of what is really required to support the a whole day of electricity. So the combined total
