> Hitler had been subject to gas attacks as a foot soldier in WW1 and forbade the use of chemical weapons as inhumane. He didn’t seem to have a problem using them against civilian targets.

Yes! I started going down the path of building a ripple carry adder already (which seems to work fine). Then I was going to try for a full on ALU, then some sort of ISA that sits on top of it all. I have no idea what the end result will loo

I had fun reading this. Thanks for sharing. With dendritic compartments, this seems like a waste of a perfectly good neuron that we could productively use elsewhere. ;) Note that a SINGLE neuron can compute nonlinear functions like XOR. Sha

Don't get me wrong, both are pretty terrible. I'm not going to defend Tesla. But BYD is on a whole different level with that stuff (e.g. human trafficking, suicides and the factory that collapsed and killed a bunch of people). The

BYD uses slave labor. "In the dormitories of the Jinjiang Group, the company hired by BYD to carry out the work, there were no mattresses on the beds, and the few toilets served hundreds of workers in extremely unhygienic conditions. T

Speaking from past experience with the DoE (I'm happy I don't need to deal with security like this anymore), there were constant and randomized checks to make sure fiber cables (they were all fiber to make it harder to tamper with

They have multiple networks. One of them is definitely airgapped (red for RD). The medium security one is protected by annoyingly strict network ACLs (yellow for ITAR). Then there's a low security one for stuff like sharepoint (green).

They already have CUDA cores in production. This is a lab that's looking for the next big thing.

Probably because they're hosting an exascale-class cluster with a bazillion GH200s. Also, they launched a new "National Security AI Office".

2025/5/5 is the next square root day. The next one won't happen until 2036/6/6. Also, the year itself is a square (45^2=2025). If I'm calculating right, the last time this was the case was on 1936/6/6

Classical reversible computing feels like it would be a good way to interface with a quantum computer (since it's also reversible in theory).

It's very similiar. The rod logic in diamond age (Eric Drexler was the one who originally came up with it) moves linearly -- not rotationally like this does. It's also reversible.

On several of the slides in this, it compares Northguard with Kafka.

Yeah, it's definitely a significant shift. The Xinfra component helps with Kafka compatibility, but that still has quite a bit of complexity to it. Also, it's written in C++, so that requires a different mindset to operate.

Keep an eye out for Northguard. It's the name of LinkedIn's rewrite of Kafka that was announced at a stream processing meetup about a week ago.
