H100s being thought of as consumables is keen - it much better to analogize the H100s to coal and chip manufacturer the mine owner - than to think of them as rails. They are impermanent and need constant upkeep and replacement - they are n

Yeah - I think that the extremely fast depreciation just due to wear and use on GPUs is pretty unappreciated right now. So you've spent 300 mil on a brand new data center - congrats - you'll need to pay off that loan and somehow

As a Canadian I'd also say that having such a party is a huge boon to the country. Separatists are going to separatist - your choice, as a nation, is whether to allow them to organize and have their voices heard within the system of p

If a justification was given we'd be able to evaluate the worthiness of that decision - if there were technical notes about, for instance, food safety concerns, we could evaluate the justification against other standards in different a

They won't always. You'll always have turn-over - but if it's a major problem for your company it's clearly something you need to work out internally. People, generally, hate switching jobs, especially in an uncertain

Both numbers are entirely ludicrous - highly skilled people are certainly quite valuable. But it's insane that these companies aren't just training up more internally. The 50x developer is a pervasive myth in our industry and it

When it's a silly marketing email - sure. But you'd be surprised how hard you need to work as a sender to ensure that your content will render correctly if your business is actually to deliver information via email. Remote conte

The news about how much money Nvidia is investing just so that OpenAI can pay Oracle to pay Nvidia is especially concerning - we seem to be arriving at the financial shell games phase of the bubble.

These approaches may be nice to demonstrate the concept in brief but I'm a bit sad the article didn't take the opportunity to go into a design that only stores the triangular data since it's pretty trivial to overload operato

It's an excellent time to buy your own device for wifi broadcasting and disable any ISP provided broadcasting (or maybe put it in a faraday cage?) - it's relatively simple to set up with off the shelf components though less techni

Never before have I heard of lighting a pile of cash on fire being a fiduciary duty. Post-GPT AI may eventually prove a highly profitable venture - right now the only people making money are the shovel sellers and most of the launched appl

They're a dinosaur and have forgotten how to innovate and provide new value. This is what complacency and shifting your business to focus on regulatory capture ultimately leads to.

Not from what I've seen - that small incentive is usually outweighed by the immense burden of retraining and finding a good candidate. It's similar to probationary periods - you'll see a few people fired right at the three mo

This feels like a great thing for the government to do which is why NOAA/NWS have traditionally maintained these services. The data these stations produce nationally is valuable but hard to quantify on an individual station level - sh

PHP has it all! I think the main dividing line here is whether you want to lean into strict typing or whether you prefer a more loose typing structure. The extremes of both (where, for instance, the length of an array is part of its type d

Another colloquial saying to back this up is that "Oh, that house is five acres down the road" or, for a non-standard unit, "The store is three blocks away". We often use area measurements for length if it's conven

B2B websites often can keep regular business hours - if your customer base is working professionals in NA then outside of 9AM-8PM EST your site traffic probably drops dramatically. At my company we looked at analytics and realized our traf

Unions are a bargaining tool that can theoretically advocate for anything - it's more useful generally to talk about what they usually do. Generally unions focus on employee rights and will only organize for specific business policies

Your statement isn't false but it isn't the norm. Unionized employees have much higher retention rates and that comes with better skill growth within an organization which generally leads to a more competitive entity. The modern
