Cook is getting significant considerations on imports and offering Trump PR with zero obligation. Maybe they invest, maybe they don't, maybe they just do what they were going to do anyway.

Once again cutting off their nose to spite their face. And showing their complete ignorance of economics. Or possibly just their personal indebtedness to the oil and gas industries for supporting their election. The long term costs of clima

You should never look at code and say "this should work". If it "should" work it would work. If it doesn't work, you definitely made a mistake. Poke every assumption one by one. Preferably with an interactive debugg

The fact that xAI only exists for Elon Musk's personal spite and they produced a top performing model certainly implies that model training isn't any kind of moat. It's certainly very expensive but not mysterious.

Having no experience in the field, is there a reason they don't drill ground source heat pumps for data centers? If the biggest power draw is climate control, ground source has the lowest operational cost.

You'd think, yet I get it sent to me legally anyway. It is under a very restrictive REMS program, but it you're formally diagnosed with the very short list of applicable conditions, it's not that difficult to get.

It's politics and optics. But as someone taking a schedule 3 medication that is really a schedule 1 in disguise (sodium oxybate) I wonder why they couldn't use the same tap dance for psylocibin or MDMA. Slight chemical modificatio

I think the recent Grok release and considering xAI was relatively late to the game shows that the only moat to training giant models is how many GPUs you can buy. ChatGPT was earth-shattering and it took less than two years for multiple cr
