These companies have a demonstrated track record for having no qualms about bald-face lying. Suddenly we'll have an influx of "private sector researchers" to cover those tech jobs.

Excatly. It was meant as a temporary program in the early-90s. It wasn't meant as a permanent solution for skilled labor staffing. We've had about 35 years to build a domestic pipeline of Novell NetWare, SunOS 4, Windows 3.0, and

Most algorithm analyses don't incorporate memory hierarchies. I'm not sure what the point of this post was. If you are really concerned about it, compute the empirical roofline for your machine. Also, if the point is to point out

>I'm not entirely certain, but I think a data center might just provide more temporary and permanent jobs than a golf course, and with likely higher mean and median wages. Well, you're right to be uncertain. After they're

That is quite a limb to go out on. What is the exact value proposition of AI as it exists right now for the average person who lives where these things are being built? They don't even get jobs. With golf, they can enjoy the outdoors a

This will end in another 'adpocalypse' episode. Something like: ChatGPT generates recipes from the Anarchist Cookbook and adds Home Depot ads at the end, or inserts Amazon affiliate links for the Turner Diaries.

Google putting AI search summaries is the worst of all worlds. You need cheap, fast inference to put on a search results page and finish near the deadline (~3 seconds). Cheap, fast inference is more likely to get stuff wrong. No one is happ

It depends on the "ratio economy" of the tracker. Some are very hard: Bibliotik offers very few opportunities to build ratio. Very few people download any given random book, and there is no source of free credit. The economy is ve

"National security matters" was never in good faith. As a concept, it's used as an escape hatch whenever it wants to avoid public scrutiny.
