I see, so only if you are running an AI cluster. And what is it transferring between the nodes? Partial computations?

Is there an actual use for this in a homelab? Isn't 25gbps enough that no SSD will saturate it?

One of the problems with this kind of marketing is that there are essentially no base-models available at dealerships. So the flexibility supposedly provided by making the gauge cluster an option is not actually available to the consumer. T

I would like to agree, but that's not how insurance works, at least in the U.S. You get your catalytic converter stolen, and you will pay for it three times. The first is you paid for the original one. Then you paid for insurance to co

It's not irrational if you know that the insurance company has mispriced your policy, and filing a claim won't be more trouble than it's worth. Getting a contents policy in a safe neighborhood where you know that there's

> amusing You should find it insulting that they are likely selling that location data, not even to the highest bidder, but to a data broker that resells that data to anyone that will buy it for any price they'll pay.

It could be a typical design that the camera and LED always have power, and the LED is switchable. Giving the camera plus LED a separate power supply means that the camera has to boot or come online, which maybe increases the dwell time. An

Under my proposal, if someone wants to make prints of one of your old photographs, you are getting ~$20, which is ~$20 more than you are getting now. So it doesn't seem like a damage to you. If you get famous and now you could sell a p

Copyright law desperately needs a production requirement or allowance. The copyright owner must make new copies of the work available; the price must be no greater than the original price (not inflation adjusted). And if they fail to do so,

One feeling that I have is that we currently have: 1. Underpriced AI products (tokens too cheap) 2. Bottlenecked AI spend (can't get enough chips, can't build enough DCs) So it's possible that prices will rise until demand me

I heard that it was a COVID feature. I guess people thought you would be scanning your friend's foreheads before socializing. That sensor would be much better if it was integrated with the camera and LIDAR, so that you could "pain

It's a bit more complicated than that. There are fixed or per-vehicle costs: * signage, lighting, snow removal, etc. * weather-related wear and tear from freeze/thaw, thermal expansion, etc. * capacity (more lanes needed, driven b

I think the author is missing another major factor: the early bicycle doesn't solve any problem satisfactorily. A velocipede at best saves you a bit of energy going flat or downhill, with relatively little increase in speed, with a rel

I think there are startups making a similar sort of engine for general aviation. It's good to see that there is development of the same idea for commercial aviation. This isn't like a hybrid car. It's a parallel hybrid, where

I was able to see The Odyssey yesterday in 70mm, and it had a preview of Dune 3. I wasn't planning to see Dune 3, but that preview made me want to see it. Can we monitor seat availability on Dune 3 70mm as well? Maybe a beta? I think r

One of the hopes I have for AI is that products like this become almost unsellable. Gemini strongly disrecommends buying this product[1], but it's not clear if the opinion is based on Dr. Gough's review in-part. This, of course, l
