With live migration it could be quite low, like 10 ms.

How do they use stablecoins?

This all makes sense... if a YC startup is going to spend the majority of its funding outside the US. I'm having trouble thinking of such a scenario though. I'd expect YC money to be spent on rent, founder salaries, and API calls.

Stablecoins make a lot of sense in countries like Argentina where the national currency is a shitcoin. But YC doesn't fund startups in Argentina. Stablecoins can also be used to pay remote employees but that should probably go through

SVB was considered the "standard" bank for all startups for decades so it's not surprising that YC would give the same advice. If you run a startup out of a normal bank sometimes you get weird glitches: https://mit

More recently you'd have, say, a 512GB SSD with 512GiB of flash so for usable space they're using the same base 10 units as hard disks. And yes, the difference in units happens to be enough overprovisioning for adequate performanc

An even bigger problem is that networks are measured in bits while RAM and storage are in bytes. I'm sure this leads to plenty of confusion when people see a 120 meg download on their 1 gig network. (The old excuse was that networks ar

If you don't have Real ID they perform an equivalent background check at the airport which they charge you $45 for.

Data brokers already know everything about every American so the TSA is just buying existing information from them. Then they can quickly quiz you on the information to verify that you are you. https://network.id.me/article&

That island is part of the US. Technically SpaceX technology cannot be exported to other countries but laws are fake so...

Probably. They are building the largest data centers in the world with very little revenue.

It's crazy but legally there's nothing fraudulent here. I'm sure the deal was approved by the boards of both companies.

Yes, satellites and the ISS successfully radiate heat today.

Remember that he wants to make X a bank. An orbital tax haven. But seriously, I think legally satellites are under the jurisdiction of the country they were launched from.

Pet satellites or cattle satellites?

Vizio (and every other embedded vendor) knows they're breaking the GPL and they just don't care. It's not an analogous situation.

What is the purpose of the ZKP here? Why not put the attestation on chain directly?

You can demand payment but it doesn't mean you'll get paid. These days companies will clone your work instead of paying.

The ideal solution to that is pipelining but it can be complex to implement.

Personally I consider Tor less shady than these residential proxy networks because Tor has some normal users but yes, the considerations are similar. (I ran one of the earliest Tor exit nodes.)

10Gbase-T requires a lot of transistors and power (maybe over 10x more than 1G) so it just wasn't worth the cost.

There was discourse in the 1970s about whether software should all be free or if paid software would be better. Apple and Micro-Soft had different perspectives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists

Users are OK with acting as proxies because they don't understand all the shady stuff their proxy is being used for. Also consumer ISPs generally ban this.

I think they are also used for translation, summarization, etc. They're also available to other apps: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/FoundationModels

Apple does have their own small foundation models but it's not clear they require a lot of GPUs to train.

OpenAI will keep using Nvidia GPUs but they may have to actually pay for them.
