You’re talking about Fortune 50 companies here. I don't think Google is going to be messing around spying on them in direct violation of the no-doubt sophisticated contract that will be signed between them.

I'd argue that GPU (and TPU) compute is even more general than CPU computation. Basically all it can do is matrix multiply types of operations!

I thought it was because snow and ice would collect on the wide deciduous leaves and break the tree's branches of they didn't drop them. And coniferous trees have thin leaves so they shed snow.

I flag some stuff like that because I don't want to read the same political flamewars on HN over and over again, not because I like Trump.

Why are they expected to be different on different planetary bodies without sharing of materials? Is the early solar nebula kind of like a reverse centrifuge with denser isotopes near the sun and lighter ones further away?

Because for whatever reason IC is an acronym widely used in the tech industry (and daily in career discussions on this website) and NM is not.

No, frugality has been an Amazon "value" from the beginning. Look up the story of Jeff Bezos famously using an old door for a desk. Or all the execs complaining about having to share a hotel room during business trips for the firs

Just more purchases period. If I don't have $500 but I wouldn't think twice about a $25/mo bill I'd be forced to buy an Android if financing wasn't an option.

What can you pay with if you're doing financing? If they don't accept credit cards, they make way more than twenty cents back with reduced fees. If you finance on an Apple Card you don't get the 3% cash back (last time I look

Great question that I don't think the other commentors really answered. Sadly I don't really know "why" either. Second system effect? Instead of making IPv6 just "IPv4 with 128bit instead of 32bit address space&quot

Are you claiming TSLA is fundamentally worth less than $43.6B, and the mere fact that Elon owns 23% of TSLA shares is worth four hundred billion dollars? I know that selling 23% of a company in one go would move the market, but a 90% haircu

Pretty common for most big mature companies to do at one point or another as their section of the economy swings up and down. This is probably only new for new big teh companies they have only experienced growth. Cisco has done plenty, and

What is the threat model if I run lots of untrusted JavaScript, but I only have a small amount of memory in other processes worth reading and I would notice sustained high CPU usage? Is there an example in the wild of a spectre exploit stea

It kind of could be for some meals maybe, but not really. What people love about sous vide is that you can cook a steak to 135 or whatever exact temperature you desire then sear it. To do that you need both circulating water (to make sure t

It was funny to me too talking to execs in the datacenter space for the first time and hearing them talk about computer in MW terms. "Last quarter the team brought up X MWs in Y Chicago, good job everyone."

Margin call You short 10 shares at $400 and you have $4500 in your account. The stock is wildly swinging around and temporarily goes up to $440/share. Your position would cost $4400 and you only have $4500 in your account, so your brok

Hardly novel. I see lots of libertarians and conservatives advocating replacing most government spending (and beauracracy!) with UBI. The conservative economist Milton Friedman advocated for UBI in the form of a negative income tax.

Think of it this way, since you aren't dying of asphyxiation when you sleep at night, you're already getting some air exchange with the outside air. With an ERV you can control how much air you get, and put whatever filter you wan
