In many jurisdictions, "intent" is an element of the law

And my favorite -- you need to go north from Miami to be in "the South"

In the west, there's no actual competitor to NVIDIA hardware. Yes, people make other chips, but nothing is a serious drop-in replacement for the nv stack. Between the networking an…

Maybe they have something else im the books, I truly have no idea. But once you get down from the top rung of full-bandwidth cross section networking at the 100k node networking sc…

The concert analogy makes sense (I analogized it as "staunching the bleeding"). WRT SpaceX building data centers: I think there's a natural tension between a "low margin business" …

Thanks for the post. :( I had some ideas for little projects to mess around with and thought thread would've been something interesting to learn..

What I don't understand is how it's even a good low-margin business. Maybe I'm missing something but: Data centers (before recently) are low margin businesses because all the input…

I'm desperate for people to make tech that's searchable. I'd like to figure out some of the thread/matter bits for my own projects and this is terribly annoying to do

Fucking hell how is this website so unusable.

Calling a CPF a "tax ID" is a bit misleading, much like calling an SSN "the way you get social security benefits". You can (even as a non-citizen) get one in a couple mins at the p…

I think you're 100% correct that people won't lose the ability. There's a scary thing I see as a person who works with and recruits students and fresh graduates -- they might not h…

Sounds backwards -- your company is getting the benefits of your increased productivity and doesn't want to pay for it. Im not sure that's Anthropics problem? It's like I was a gra…

It's telling you chose to not answer the question and instead chose to introduce a different (straw man) question in response. At least people in the past had the integrity to ackn…

What's the ratio of citizens to non-citizens that's okay? One citizen per every hundred or are you thinking 10-1?

You keep moving the goalposts that much and maybe the patriots can win the Super Bowl.

I know nothing about the "industry" of MRIs, but from the physics side, (everything equal) more Tesla is better - at the end of the day, harder magnetic field gets you a stronger s…

There are a lot of airports in the Us and 2.5 million passengers transit them daily.

It wasn't -- was just noting that people keep saying "MRI", when there's no 5T fields around most security checkpoints

Certainly, but a) not at the prices people wanted to spend to get 25,000 of them b) not at the maintenance cost for 25,000 of them c) without the software to (by someone's metric) …

There's a whole ton of people taking about MRI -- MRIs are a completely universe than CT/X-rays

Nobody or no item is getting an MRI at an airport. It's pretty common for people to conflate that with X-rays but MRIs work on a fundamentally different process and exclusively (ou…

TSA (at ohare) has a repeating thing that says 100ml or 3.2oz over the loudspeaker (never mind they are different amounts)
