Sure, but even heavily discounted Nvidia chips won’t be competitive for inference if they’re worse on perf/W.

As opposed to closed-source models? Benchmarks for GPT Sol wouldn’t be particularly meaningful, as no one else can run the benchmark, and we don’t know what the exact model specs are. Picking the best open source models is really the best t

“There is a population of qualified workers […]” In my experience, this is not true. Demand for software engineers has been so high, and pay so high as a result, that it’s pulling in workers from adjacent industries. The total software-qual

Developers are users too. If users cared enough not to use cross-platform software because it didn’t look native, then it wouldn’t get built.

"rather hard" is really underselling things. Without considering generator->motor losses, 250W is a lot of power, even for a larger (>80kg/176lbs) rider. For basically anyone who doesn't train on the bike, this is

Intuitively, I can understand that English Second Language students would struggle in classes other than English, but are the demographics really shifting enough to explain the drop in attainment shown in the article? The best demographic d

I'm missing something. What change in demographics are we talking about, and why would that influence math results?

Garmin has a market cap of ~40B USD. Inflation adjusted, that's where NVIDIA was <10yr ago. It's not missing resources to do the work IMO, but it's missing the market dominance to singlehanded set the standard for the indu

For me, it's that the ergonomics are straightforward, and everything works out of the box. If I find myself on a new machine, just installing fish gives me an ergonomic setup without having to install too many additional tools or mess

I don't have statistics, but given the student visa -> H-1B pipeline changes, it would seem there are a number of H-1B holders who are educated in US colleges (either at the undergrad or graduate level). This indicates that the prob

I was thinking the same. Also, I would have liked if they discussed/measured the worst-case power draw of the device before starting to add capacitors, as it's possible a PC USB port just doesn't supply enough current to powe

Before I knew this I had someone pull out their lighter and point the remote at it when our sensor bar died. Took me a little bit to figure it out.

In general I agree, for instance an Apple Watch crams in so much hardware, that the battery frequently lasts less than a day. Compare that to my Garmin 245, which often lasts 2 weeks on a single charge if it's not using the GPS. It doe

This assumes that the same number of vehicles use the charging station. Lower charge times means potentially higher steady-state throughput.

The way I see it, induced demand is just a way of saying that all modes trend towards equilibrium. If you invest more in trains, they become more attractive, and people gravitate towards them. The same is true of cars, busses, etc... How ea
