Carbon taxes are regressive but if it is all paid back as dividend then a) poor people will end with more money than they paid b) rich people will end with less money than they paid c) no change in aggregate demand (although minor increase

UBI increases aggregate demand, so as you point out it increases inflation. However, it doesnt increase individual demand equally. Rich people’s demand will increase fractionally less than poor people’s. This means consumption inequality wi

But they factually don’t have these real assets and can’t gain them. This is why poverty can trap people.

Your profit (at 0 unit cost) will be (Sales not refunded * 0.7-refunds * 0.3) * price If Sales not refunded/refunds<0.3/0.7 ~ 43% Then profit can be negative (you lose money because more people refund than not). >57% refund

Because increased core counts are obviously needed for the data center segment. AMD has a a great chiplet design for their cores which means they will always have better yield for high-core-count chips over Intel's round bus.

That's an interesting Malthusian argument. I think I mostly agree in a sense that vast majority of PhD students I know had plans of staying in academia but had to join industry precisely because lack of resources. But if there were mor

If it doesn’t hit a cache then it should be passed on... that seems to be the basic premise of how caches work.

He wants the fun homelab not savings. His particular NUCs are ~$600 a piece, the nas was a few $k as well. Definitely you can get more compute on a single node but I think you'd be missing the point.

Except there are over a billion Indians, which is more than all of Europe+US combined. They are a standard onto themselves. There are more Indian English speakers than British English speakers.

Except the reforms were not reasonable. More like telling a man to cut off an arm to get a fish. Doesn’t teach you to fish in the future and creates lots of suffering in the present.

Was it ever understood why Keller left intel recently?

Base x86 is partially open partially owned by Intel. X86-64 has components owned by AMD. AMD and Intel cross-license. You can’t start a new x86 chip company without paying amd/intel (if you want to use modern isa)

This is a bit complicated. I’m not in Amazon but work for a (very large) org. Often we will have some product in mind and approach/maybe even partner with a vendor while at the same time having an internal effort. Occasionally we go wi

But it IS a qualitatively new mode of surveillance that can’t exist without large databases.

by ivalm 6y ago
It is a bit like face recognition databases. In principle, the data is already public-enough. In practice, building these databases enables qualitatively higher levels of surveillance.

Not always the right explanation. Magnetism of material is usually not because of charges but spin alignment of electrons. Spin is an intrinsic property of point particles, there are no moving charges (or moving anything) involved. You can

I am talking about serological studies in Italy and South Korea. For confirmed cases death rates are 5%, but that’s because a bunch of people are positive and untested (many of them asymptomatic). One thing to remember that at any one time

The velocity of the star in the paper, and our star, are both with respect to galactic nucleus. The star is still following orbit, just presumably a very eccentric one. I never said it is not impressive, just that it is similar to typical o

Microwave background provides a kind of reference frame for the universe. We are moving ~370km/s relative to it [0]. We are fairly certain CMB is homogenous so this reference frame is same everywhere. [0] https://en.m.wikip

900000 km/h = 250 km/s. This is fast but comparable to 224 km/s that the sun moves. Our galaxy itself moves at ~600 km/s relative to local cluster center of mass.

But batch size is prob least problem since you can do data parallelism (send half batch to each gpu, combine on cpu). I think only model bigger than gpu mem is where you really wish for nvlink on v100s.
