And _we_ will never see the telemetry. Maybe NTSB will. Certainly Tesla will. And that will inform how their PR team responds to this collision. Maybe some plaintiffs will if they can manage to subpoena the data from Tesla in some hypotheti

I think it was just a way to describe Space-X as being a Musk-owned company. A little bit of SEO in the WSJ page title.

Yes, kernel is an overloaded term. This is about functions running on GPUs, not Operating System core functionality.

Most of the GPUs built in the past year are sitting in warehouses, just waiting for data centers to break ground and for electrical expansions to complete. And Nvidia can’t get China interested in buying their products in the Trump era. The

LLMs are terrible at generating code for “less commonly used languages”. They require LOTS of data for high accuracy. I describe it this way: they are good at interpolating from what data they were trained on, but terrible at extrapolating.

I’m less anti-“anything AI” and more anti-“how AI seems to be used right now”. It is: being used as smokescreen for massive layoffs industry wide. a repeat of the business models of 1999-2000 (growth without profit, race to IPO, promises of

This analogy is getting really strained. If I expect North Koreans to North Korea, I’m not aiding them in doing that by failing to criticize their behavior. They were going to do the North Korean thing with or without my dismay.

Localhost is “on the device itself”, but so is an installed App and files and user settings. This is also missing a lot of what localhost means in this context (networking, violation of the usually way similar apps and websites work on an A

That’s debatable. It’s likely the cocaine originating from Colombia was going to end up in the US with or without the CIA’s help. Also, it’s worth reading about the journalist who broke the story about Contra-sourced cocaine making it to LA

Tesla’s market cap is entirely about Optimus vaporware hopium. Similarly Space-X’s IPO valuation is about “data centers in space” vaporware hopium and “timeshare all the GPU time that Grok isn’t using”. There’s a trend with Musk’s companies

Do data centers in space still depreciate GPUs over 6 years if the datacenter falls to Earth in 3?

No, the parent was saying the other rule change is arbitrary. The tiny float and just a few days before the index funds buy means they have to buy without any more revenue / earnings info than was already published pre-IPO. 90 days is

Moving the goalposts of an index fund for one or 3 IPOs puts the reputation of S&P and Nasdaq in question. The comments in this thread make that clear.

by thephyber 4mo ago
An index fund like the S&P500 is not the S&P500. It is stuck competing in a world of low margin pain. I sincerely hope S&P and Nasdaq rollback the SpaceX-targeted changes, but unfortunately I seriously doubt it.

We expect thieves to thief. Police are only useful so long as they are effective as policing. It’s insanely difficult to put a price on a cost center which doesn’t add value, but only has a chance to reduce the loss of value if they do th

I suspect the 1960s was chosen because it was before the Church Committee. Back then, the CIA had fewer restrictions about working within the USA.

The company hires people who match the company’s desired culture. If the people in the CIA who do hiring want the talent who are excellent at lying and compartmentalizing their ethics, then that’s what the organization becomes over a genera

Many people have already mentioned that officials have stated the valve isn’t working. But also, the chemical is actively undergoing an exothermic reaction (which is why the tank is at risk for failure). How do you transport such a toxic fl

It’s not simply that the tank might explode. That is one hazard, but spilling the chemical is another serious hazard.

I have seen this claim (the plant was there first), but I can’t find a source. The nearest houses were built in 1958 according to Zillow.
