Everyone having a computer in their pocket and multiple modes of access have made the keyboard and conventional computer less relevant. But-- that means "not pivotal any more, just hugely important."

Short term elasticity and long term elasticity aren't the same thing. Whoever has the greater elasticity doesn't pay much of the tax. In most markets, long run elasticity of supply is very, very, very high. So that means demand s

An A100 is probably 2-4k tokens/second on a 20B model with batched inference. Multiply the number of A100's you need as necessary. Here, you don't really need the ram. If you could accept fewer tokens/second, you could

One of my points was re: #2: I am not sure how I would answer on that survey. It really depends on fine details of how the questions were worded. For sure towing would be "rarely". But "personal hauling"? I am not sur

The Telo appeals to me. I've resisted getting a truck because I like a smaller vehicle and don't want to have undue impact and because I've listened to arguments like this before. But I was offroad last weekend. I move shee

You've never accidentally spun something up that consumes all the leases? It's just been a couple of times, but I've definitely done it (e.g. bridged a couple of networks that shouldn't have been). But mostly, it's

I like low lease times. DHCP server knows what's really on the network, and if something requests lots and lots of the pool you'll be fine in 15-30 minutes. If things are set to a really long time, >=12 hours, you find out the

Neat video. It seems to capture the middle between "super high coastal wave" and "shallow but long duration wave in deep water". That's what you'd get with coastal waters several tens of meters deep.
