For those who would minimize the effects of social media on teens, I would highly recommend looking at this report of Meta's own research on the matter, published after it was revealed in discovery by States AGs. https://pap

The Japanese have been obsessed with it since the study came out and have a variety of treatments (tannins in persimmons and greentea) though none have passed large scale clinical trials :) I was fed a YT video about it recently so it must

So following this to the obvious conclusion, the NSA is responsible for the closure of the Straight of America, high tarrifs, dropping employment, and high gas prices?

You modify tens of thousands of tubes and they are installed as they are replaced in the target facility.

I have to say that after reading other commentary about the 2015 paper this was based on, it seems to be far less relevant, even if it comes up very high in tehGoog search rankings.

There is also the problem that that impedance mismatch between the gas in the tube and the glass surrounding it is huge so very little power is coupled. Interesting things would be for the tube length/resonance to be closer to the soun

Exactly, what exactly is an English major going to do, if YA novels are the pinnacle of reading achievement? I'm baffled, and reading more about it, concerned.

I've talked to a few high school and young college students in the last few years to get a feeling for what pandemic and LLMs have done to education, but this seems near apocalyptic to me. An inability for a majority of English majors

If you're worried about >100mg (0.1ml) then, don't think about the dosages people use for botox! It's 1x,2x,3x 80picograms per injection. I guess it's a biological product, but it's certainly not "living&quo

How much does open source rely on copyright for enforcement? Do court decisions that limit copyright protection of AI generated content cause problems for open source? Isn't there a requirement for a "Mental Conception" of th

From the outside, it seems like Canary Warf was where most of the high density building in London was done. That wasn't nearby lots of low rise single family homes, was it? Certainly, some people are moving to the Bay Area, but the rat

All of Tokyo was basically rebuilt after the war, because it was bombed. Much of it was not originally built to earthquake standards. Rebuilding high density in bombed US SFH neighborhoods, would certainly make sense. I completely disagree

So you're saying that they build giant malls, office building, and (what is left of) manufacturing in cities by tearing down SFH? Certainly, not what I've seen. So people coming for "the jobs" DESERVE the kind of nearby,

by kurthr 21d ago
But why does the high density housing have to be where the SFH are? Why does it need to share the parking, facilities, retail, roads, schools, etc. of something that was built and has been maintained and evolved for 50-100 years? Why not bu

I'll note CoreWeave didn't commission the very first Blackwells until ~Jan 2025 so it hasn't been very long for RMAs. Furthermore, for training even when the NVL backplane can use the remaining GPUs a ~20% drop in performance

Since the current NVL72 are still at the ~15%/yr failure rate it's not clear your new data center is going to have half it's compute in 3 years. If you're still running H100s they draw >10x kWh/Mtoken as new desi

The metal masked ROM is basically only 2 metal/contact layers. It's not a full new design and tapeout. You could roll a new set of parameters every ~2-3months. It's not an architectural change. See statements below. https:&#

Contractors are commonly net30/net60/net90 or paid on completion and inspection of work done. This isn't a union job with biweekly paychecks.

Yet strangely, we imprison people based on their intent all the time. For years a woman ran around in traffic and was killed by a car to protect her from the state. Nothing could be done? She had to die? https://www.sfchronicle.c

Yeah, (Optane) 3D XPoint from Micron would have a decent density speed trade-off. I don't know whether it makes the margin they can get from RAM though. Or whether CiM for masked ROM with a 3mo wait for parameter update (and much lower

They must each have 20mm customers paying $10 a month to have 50% margins in profit. Or are they just VC funded? Are there 100 of them? That would be 2 billion customers.

So thinking this through to come up with your numbers, total investment through 2027 is ~$2T and interest on debt is over 7%, which makes servicing this ~$140B/yr. However, failure rates on H100-B300 installed HW have been over 12%&#x2

Yes, but that is the point we don't anthropomorphize stochastic outputs even when they are dangerous. Obligatory quote: "Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you

I've read a lot of these, but many that I've never considered masterworks. I mean, I'm a Dick head, but that's a lot of representation on the list.
