A large telecommunications satellite operates at about 15kW. A Blackwell GPU consumes 1kW so you would be at 15 Blackwells per satellite. The cooling surface needs to scale linearly so there is little return to scale. This doesn't soun

The author was frustrated that the error message identified him as an organisation (that was disabled) and mockingly refers to himself as the (disabled) organisation in the post. At least, that’s my reading but it appears it confuses about

Should have asked Claude how to write it better.

I understand your logic but I found LLM's to be quite strong at C#. It makes little mistakes and the mistakes seem related to the complexity of what I'm doing, not the language itself.

This is incorrect. The miner just changes the header of the block and rehashes. The transaction set is fixed for many tries.

by Bootvis 9mo ago
I agree this is easy enough to follow but I'd like to quibble about something else: Comments should answer the question why you are not using some kind of hash set and do a single pass over the data and why it's OK to reorder the

by Bootvis 9mo ago
This can have another explanation as well: the moment a block is found, the miner starts building on top of the previous block but hasn't constructed a new full block of transactions yet as that costs a bit of time to calculate and dis

The whole series is excellent and as a non regular user of assembly I learned a ton.

Maybe, but buffer overflows would occur written in assembler written by experts as well. C is a fine portable assembler (could probably be better with the knowledge we have now) but programming is hard. My point: you can roughly expect an e

Not kidding, I bet llm’s are excellent at triaging these reports. Humans, in a corporate setting, are apparently not.

My point is, needing to use something with care doesn't prevent it becoming from wildly successful. LLM's are wrong way more often but are also more versatile than a calculator.

It does if you’re a clumsy operator and those are not rare.

What about a strict subset of C#. The use case for F# seems to be shrinking because MS is putting all its energy in language.

This seems like an actually useful computation to do, unlike earlier results. Is that a reasonable reading of this article?

I understand this as follows: Legal: doesn’t break the rules of chess. For example: no pawns on the eighth rank or in check when it’s not their turn. Reachable: there is a series of moves that lead to this position from the standard startin

This “feature” amazes me. It is badly done and a bad idea. I haver never watched a dubbed video so why show me a translated title? It’s also surprising, Google has plenty ESL employees on staff.

The point is that bit of information doesn’t tell you anything about yourself and your own skills and intrinsic value. You could be there best hire to date but someone even better than you shows up, or the bosses nephew or funding went away

Really, what are you making that a 5% increase in productivity doesn’t justify a Copilot subscription?
