For those that would want a dedicated GPU, the 16 inch model has an expansion bay that allows putting in a Radeon GPU.

Coming from a place where I'd bike nine months of the year as my primary mode of transportation, I tried it in the bay area and got hit by a car after a few months. So I got a car, even though I'd much rather bike.

The problem with that approach is that it also makes conflicts more likely if there are no drawbacks to deployment of such weapons. There's a lot of push back to deploying human soldiers in a conflict, but much less so for remotely con

A plane going up and down 20-30 feet seems like it would be very unpleasant. Considering that there's longitude and latitude, isn't it more likely that the altitude is coming from GPS, which is notoriously inaccurate with regards

I wonder if one could build something like SETI@home, but for open source model training. Assuming the model fits on a gaming GPU, it's just data distributed parallel training but with a large distance between training nodes.

It might be less than 1% globally, but moving from gas cars to electric has the potential to lower the US carbon emissions by more than 16%, according to your numbers.

For those confused by the title, there's Ampere computing (which makes ARM processors) and Ampere the Nvidia GPU generation (eg. A100). This is about steam running on the former though x86 emulation, and also can use the latter GPU arc

Coworkers have different incentives than players in a game of Dota. In a competitive game, they'll skulk or grief until the game is over, then queue for another and likely will be matched with other people. That behavior doesn't r

I'm not going to comment on Cruise specifically, but keep in mind that AV companies have an insane burn rate in the order of 9 figures yearly or more, without any meaningful revenue at this point in time. They're under a lot of pr
