I guess this would be the expected, though boring, answer -- "incorrect" benching (i.e. clear the cache first).

I'm surprised no one has chimed in on how the program is "processing" 40GB of instructions with only 800 MB/s * 10s of disk read. If I had to hazard a guess, there's some kind of smart caching going on at the OS lev

That means the electric cost of the mining rig is essentially 1/3 "subsidized".

More clarity: 500 TWh/yr is ~57 GW on average. From a quick google, it seems that peak electricity usage is 60-80 GW, which makes the 80 GW milestone much more interesting.

Probably more accessible in general. (PDF) Papers are psychologically scary.

Something something no-cloning theorem prevents this (/s, since of course, we could 'teleport' the ships's quantum state onto the 'new' ship (/s)).

I hope we don't stop giggling. Lighthearted humor should be kept alive! It was fun even in uni.

This hilariously sounds like a possible "defense" in court after being caught stealing said ship. Was it really Theseus's ship?

Thanks, this was my initial thought as well! Generally: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/recursion+scheme (I'm actually kind of surprised ncatlab has this article!)

I didn't realize that Kerr was still alive and well! Similar to the feeling when I discovered that David Deutsch was on Twitter. Really incredible when names in physics textbooks are still around.

I have both. I drive both depending on context of my day and where I want to work. If I were interested in this, and the 4090 were faster, I'd just ssh into that machine from my Mac if I wanted to use my Mac -- and presumably, vice ver

Yeah, I'd also be curious why they can't simply send it over to a company which "just so happened" to buy anonymous data, before Nebula "happened" to process your deletion request.

AFAIK, it's the opposite -- the Fourier Transform implies the uncertainty principle.

You're forgetting about the `const` function ;) A martingale is a process whose next expected value is equal to the current value. Suddenly, it's all AI!

It really would be convenient to not have to tether + deal with battery life. Or, have the macbook be the mobile hotspot instead for whatever reason.

I see the lowball "base" model as a way to advertise the middle models, which is a common strategy. That being said, from what I gather, 8GB RAM on MacOS performs just fine except for truly professional users. Also keep in mind th

That's an interesting elaboration. It's also true that we can go beyond undecidability with an oracle, but that introduces a new "undecidable" barrier. Is there a relation between the tower of more powerful logics and th

Consider AMD Epyc 7742 vs an A100 -- 225W vs 400W (according to some TDP numbers). That's 1.8x-2.0x increase in energy, but something like 10x-100x more integer operations per second (depending on size of integers, depending on if you

To be fair, this makes sense: making a smart decision is "harder" than scaling a simple calculation out to a bunch of workers.
