True, but previous chips have been manufactured in China, and they’re also developing and manufacturing their successor to A100s (H100s) in China. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/01/nvidia-says-us-government-al..

Long term I also imagine it's much cheaper to run these large model trainings on renewables. It's a very centralized process that doesn't necessarily need 100% availability. The manufacturing process, however, is totally dece

Being a good manager is in my experience just as hard if not harder. But, it's much easier to be a bad manager and keep your job.

I don’t know how to homebrew. If I ask ChatGPT to help me get started homebrewing, it lists helpful steps to start homebrewing. I can ask it to expand on any of those steps until the breakdown is actionable. Checking some of the facts it gi

Nothing wrong with it but it’s pretty devoid of nutrition compared to other greens.

I mean the obvious counterexample is someone who eats 1500 calories of real food and 2500 calories of junk food a day. If you scale that down by half you start getting all sorts of nutrient deficiencies well before hitting your target weigh

I've been thinking about this recently and I think the answer (for me) is to get a non-tech job/full-time-hobby for a bit. It makes sense that all the ideas in the "corporate office/tech infra" space are all used up

These remind me of the posters you’d buy in weed dispensaries that came with a free “gift” in places like DC where possession was legalized but sale was not.

Not the only one, but idk why people would follow Musk’s lead as opposed to, say, Tim Cook’s, when apple’s valuation has barely taken a dip.

“High crime” urban areas are still generally safer for kids than car-centric suburban areas because cars aren’t going as fast. Kids are far more likely to die getting hit by a car than from violent crime.

Medical data, despite seeming like a juicy target, isn't really all that valuable atm. It requires a lot of infrastructure to move it around, and you can't do all that much with it without breaking the law. HIPAA/PHI fines ca

Using pre-trained AI models only requires surface-level knowledge about AI. You need to know its limitations, but you don't need to know tensorflow or how transformer networks work to be able to use AI for consumer applications.

This is the only advice that worked for me. Before you settle down to watch TV for the night (or read a book, or whatever it is you do to unwind), prep yourself for everything you want to get accomplished the next day. Pack your gym clothes

I’d like to be able to search long videos (or podcasts) for a keyword (or even better, semantic search), and be directed to all time stamps in that video that match. Things like this sort of exist, but nothing that’s really usable.
