This is the absolute biggest grift of the century by the groq team. They never shared actual TCO, and I remember a Seminalaysis article about the power consumption being actually insane - this makes sense because they scale the number of ch

If the neo-nazis celebrate it as a Nazi salute, I don’t think it really matters what others think. In addition to that, seeing it with my own eyes is all the confirmation I need. On his intelligence SpaceX and Tesla were/are revolution

It’s because capitalism assumes a free market with competition. If you allow monopolies to thrive, you will not get those benefits. It’s just that some of these types of markets have different dynamics due to their structure. E.g. natural m

Yeah where they have every inch of SF mapped, and then still have human interventions. We were promised no more human drivers like 5-7 years ago at this point.

It just seems like the rating is a vote. You’d end up with the same problems.

Everyone always thinks this at least in big tech I’ve never heard a PM or exec say a market is not winner take all. It’s some weird corpo grift lang that nothing is worth doing unless its winner take all.

I’m amazed this is even viewed as a “hot take” tbh most of what he said here is pretty high level of abstraction and standard practice for custom hardware. In essence I feel like he’s saying nothing really controversial other than publicly

The idea that cutting research will make a dent in the budget is a fantasy. NSF has a budget of 10 billion. Stop rationalizing gutting crucial programs because of “the deficit” Medicare, social security and the military are the main costs i

I used this to onboard to the PyTorch team a few years ago. It’s useful for understanding the key concepts of the framework. Torch.compile isn’t covered but the rest of it is still pretty relevant.

One of my friends stated this phenomenon very well “it’s a lever they can pull so they do it”. Once you’ve tied your career to a specific technology internally, there’s really only one option: keep pushing it regardless of any alternatives

Why does Bezos care what trump thinks of him? I feel like he’s only really associated with blue origin nowadays but could be wrong

Like idk how long I need to hear about all the great things in tech he’s done when I see his handiwork in an actual tech company over at X. Maybe he was a grifter all along?

This is chesterson’s fence playing out in real life with the major superpower of the world and it has real consequences for people. It should not be the insane fiasco that’s happening right now with an unelected foreign citizen admitting in

You don’t need to be deep in designing NNs and the theory behind them, but I would say you should be able to take some linear algebra equations and be able to map them to the GPU arch. This does require some knowledge of the math being used

Like sure I’m not familiar with the value of these programs, but you get that these programs are literal pennies compared to the government’s budget right? It’s not even worth talking about these. DOGE cuts aren’t going to add up to shit an

Going bankrupt isn’t just some chill thing, your credit score will get completely destroyed. Some people will definitely continue to pay.

They’re the same. They publicly announce both on earnings calls and both increase demand for a stock.

I think they could start with not destroying hospitals and schools and doing better than “at least 1/3 of the 40k people killed were militants.” Israel , the most moral army in the world /s, thinks that two citizens killed for eve

I love how their rationale for blowing up a hospital is that there were tunnels underneath it. As if that’s justification for blowing up a hospital.

I’m glad for this, bus companies have been fighting train development for decades to prop up their garbage service. Hopefully if they get broken up and sold for parts we can have sensible public transit in this country which doesn’t rely on

Agreed, when a company rises to prominence so fast, I feel like you can end up with inexperienced people really high up in management. High risk high reward for them. The board was also like this - a lot of inexperienced random people leadi

I had to retake a driver’s test recently and I’ve never heard of checking your mirrors before a yellow. What’s “a vehicle unlikely to stop” even mean? Like I can ascertain that in a second? The driver behind you is supposed to be traveling

Both parties made an agreement with the software maker to not deviate, in effect forming a cartel.

Yes it is absurd to rewrite your entire software stack when 99% of scenarios have the same requirements: CPU, I/O, drivers. You know how many bugs you have with one stack? Multiply by 2x for each of your custom OSes. I’ve seen the frag

Man I was just lurking but this take is so wrong I just have to comment. It’s in fact the exact opposite. Every other country in the world is much much worse at this. Look at China! They’re actually destroying companies left and right. You
