I think part of what's happening lately is that chip folks are start to realize they can make margin too. Maybe it's possible thanks to consolidation but for sure folks see the crazy margins nvida, apple etc have, and I suspect t

But I mean,are the employees safe at home? I guess if the really targeted the data center then home is safer, but in the fog of war maybe the data center wasn't the target?

Stereo cameras? My 2015 Subaru has them to detect obstacles and it works great.

I'd be kind of shocked if Nvidia isn't playing with this. I don't expect it's like super commercially viable today, but for sure things need to trend to radically more efficient AI solutions.

The fundamental design choice of Teams teams channels makes channels unusable vs Slack channels. The chat part (outside channels) is OK. I've seen the metrics for our instance (10k users), the teams channel part is basically unused.

I'm not advocating their system, but here's one pro for China obviously.

I think a big factor is generational. Bigcos are led mlby generations that are phone or email first. Chat is an afterthought. For orgs like that, Teams is great if chat is your least important collaboration method.

I mostly don't blame Amazon. If the mob boss demands $10M in protection money in order to allow your $2.5T business to operate, you pay, especially if that mob boss happens to be the head of federal law enforcement. Maybe we shift a bi

Yeah I think this is a good way to think about it. I mean Google, MSFT for example have effectively unlimited developers, and their products still suck in some areas (Teams is my number one worst) so maybe AI will allow them to upgrade thei

I remember a former colleague, (may he RIP) ported a similar optimization to our fork of Python 2.5, circa 2007. We were running Linux on PPC and it gave us that similar 10-15% boost at the time.

Transmission loss in gas pipes is probably lower than electric transmission? Underground probably easier than above ground. Lastly I think they are building data centers near natural gas fields...

You can sometimes see green copper transmission lines, but they're all rather old and becoming far less common

Hydro power as well, and usually they put the smelter rather close to the power source to minimize transmission. But maybe we're still low on copper, IDK, but making aluminum should be rather possible.

California sent me a notice I screwed up and owed an extra $100 or so. Didn't really explain it, but I paid and they never bothered me again. I paid on the actual official website, did not get scammed BTW...

Yeah I was thinking they probably picked a public use case that looks a lot like their classified workloads... The article mentions the simulation ran quickly, the time spent was debugging. Suggests to me the real classified system will be

Azure yes, I'd expect this and the restart would take many minutes. Been there done that. AWS this is surprising

I don't hear this blatantly obvious point made often enough. 100% EV penetration seems optimistic any time soon, but 30% seems like a slam dunk.

I think helping control ebola pays a few dividends for the US. It was not completely selfless.
