Monte-carlo modeling has been a hot topic here the last few days. I've been using a monte-carlo model to estimate the factors that contribute to AI energy growth and got curious as to what happens if we get agent to agent calls growin

I’d like to see what cpu governor is running on those systems before assuming a power cap is in place. Lots of defaults installs of Linux ship with the power save governor running which is going to limit your max frequencies and through th

3.5 Sonnet is definitely my goto for straightforward tasks in github copilot. It seems much more effective due to its lack of verbosity and focus on completing the task rather than explaining it. Really helps in the new agent mode too. Oc

Just an anecdote but my family member does university research and gets grants from NASA (also is ex NASA and left NASA due to too many rest & vest folks). In the last round of reviews there were 20+ NASA employees sent locally to revi

Two reasons that I understand 1. not all these AIs are LLMs and many have much lower latency SLAs than chat and 2. These are just one part of a service architecture and when you have multiple latencies across the stack they tend to have mul

There are a large number of reasons the AI datacenters are geographically distributed--just to list a few off the top of my head which come up as top drivers: latency, data sovereignty, resilience, grid capacity, renewable energy availabili

Yes we have an early PoC demonstrating significant gains. There are certainly levels of investment where consumption is managed well but that tends to be up to the point and at the DCIM level while we are working more on the compute level.

I wonder how this compares to the use of zarr format which seems to have similar goals and design and is already well integrated in several libraries (particularly xarray)?

Chopins posthumously published Nocturne in C# minor is a very popular piece to play/listen to. I also think there are several Debussy pieces he didn’t want published but are very popular now (maybe Reverie is one if my memory serves me

Couple of questions: 1. You link to fair.io but it seems there isn't a latest license there only a legacy version. Do you know what the current status is on what seems like a pending version update? 2. Your project repro actually link
