~$125B per year would be 2-3% of all domestic investment. It's similar in scale to the GDP of a small middle income country. If the electric grid — particularly the interconnection queue — is already the bottleneck to data center deplo

If you doubt the computer’s influence has made its way into every walk of life, you haven’t met New Hope’s Jim Woolsey. For a decade, Woolsey has worked with the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharmshala, India, to put the Tibetan language

Jim Woolsey, a hippie and early-ish computer hacker from New Hope, Pennsylvania, was an important and early force in the digitization of the Tibetan language. This interview[0] with him from 1993 is a fascinating time capsule, and interesti

Powell has mentioned[0] that the Fed is unable to affect fiscal policy, which is the fastest and best solution to certain economic crises. Does this bring the Fed closer to being able to simply give people money? [0] https://roll

If you get a lot of value out of the pull request view, you might enjoy adding partial committing to your workflow. Rather than committing entire directories or folders at a time, you can page chunk by chunk through uncommitted changes, com

Even if you do benchmark something, maintainability can be more important than a marginal performance improvement. I've seen this happen a lot with JavaScript, particularly in the last 5-10 years as JS engines have developed increasi

I asked ChatGPT if it understood the rules of the board game Codenames; it did. I described the board and asked it to play the role of the Spymaster, and it provided a pretty solid clue.

By coincidence, the median estimate and world population are both fairly round numbers: 20M deaths on a planet with 8B people. Put another way: 1 in every 400 people on earth died from this disease. It's hard to process.

As an environmentalist, I have plenty of friends who are interested in degrowth, or even actively promote the concept. Curiously, however, none of them are interested in moving to one of the many rural counties in the US currently undergoin

Sure. I'm not suggesting it be used to this effect; I'm noting the generality as an interesting point.

I've always wanted to explore the word2vec space to find the most sparsely populated region, then (assuming you can train some sort of reverse vec2word model) coin that word that the English language was apparently sorely lacking.
