Protected designation of origin is both the worst and the best innovation of the European Union. On the one side, it allows me to easily discern if for example a bottle of olive oil is probably going to be decent without having to do resear

So this is probably too soon, thoughts and prayers for the datacenter operators and staff out there, but are they going to auction off the flooded hardware? Trying to restore a flooded Google rack sounds like a super fun project. Anyone exp

Yeah the banh mi roll is a modification on the french roll with the exact same goal that you want for a philly cheesesteak I bet.

Oh interesting, yeah at least the dictionary seems to hit all the keywords except friendly, hitting social instead which might or might not be accurate. "Living-together-ness" would be the literal translation, which is a bit weird

Companionable. It's the most direct translation, and it's very close to how we use the word "gezellig". We just use the word a lot more frequently. The warm feeling you get when you are with friendly company, even if t

You download the 2.76TB of data. Then you run it through Llama's training script for a couple months on 40 NVidia A100's, and you should have yourself a pretty fine large language model you could use to host your own ChatGPT servi

MS SQL? I've been a ("full stack") web developer for 18 years now, and I've never seen anyone use MS SQL for a web application. That's immediately a tell that I'm in a bubble, and obviously you are as well if y

Yes, of course. Philips (the Dutch company that initially invested in both TSMC and ASML) was founded on old tobacco money. But that's like saying Microsoft has to thank William Gates Sr. profitable lawyer career for their success. It&

Damn, we had the temp set to 17 or 18, if I walk in and it's 21 it feels like a wall of heat in the winter. I can't imagine having the thermostat set to 24, I'm pretty sure it would be uncomfortably hot unless you never go ou

We might not do computers, but we can do software just fine. With all the published research out there, and the base of the datasets being out there, and the fact that Europe has boatloads of money it's only a matter of time until ther

They're so non confrontational. Their performance comparisons are against "CPU". Just come out and say it, even if it's not apples to apples. If the 3D-torus interconnect is so much better, just say how it compares to NV

I hope you're right, I haven't had time to look at the same warning for 6 months now. There was a hard deadline on it in February and it came and went. The backwards incompatible Kubernetes api updates are a PITA. I know they said

Can anyone explain or link some resource on why these big GPT models all don't incorporate any RETRO style? I'm only very superficially following ML developments and I was so hyped by RETRO and then none of the modern world changi

Ground rhino horn and tiger penis don't have measurable results, sure it's not ideal we might not understand how aspirin does what it does, but at least we know that it does something. That's not even in the same ballpark as

That you have more than one means they're not your daily drivers. The parent means that Apple laptops are often used by the same person as a daily driver for long times sometimes even 10 years. My previous MBP I used as a daily drive

Were normal maps new in 2007? I feel I learned about normal maps in around 2005, as a high schooler just hobbying around in Maya. Did they maybe get a head start in PC games, or in raytracing? Maybe my memory is just mixing things up, Mario

Maybe crunchy data? ( https://www.crunchydata.com/products/crunchy-high-availabili... ) haven't tried it myself, it sounds like a very nice service. Maybe someone here has experience.

Same, only maintenance is that it runs out of disk space every once in a while. Have a cron script that does various docker pruning tasks now, so it's become fewer and farther in between very time I discover a new leak.

When I did my undergraduate degree, you could opt to do that for 1 extra point. Compiling for an ISA is not that much more difficult than compiling for a bytecode IR like that of Java or .Net which I imagine is the typical target of these c

1% is a wildly different number from the 20-30% I've seen mentioned here. What makes you say they're only 2B short?

Well a defense might be to increase their liquidity by selling those treasury bills, which would drive their price even lower, making other banks also be illiquid on paper. So yeah I imagine all the banks nervously looking at eachother. Who
