Making this argument is a strong indicator that you are extremely under-educated on this subject or motivated to make dishonest arguments. There are a variety of commercial reactor…

I love Japan. I love Tokyo. But go look at the conviction rate in Japan - it's not because their police are just so much better than ours that they just never get the wrong person.…

Just google 'mortality data statins' and there's a mountain of it. 5 years studies show minimal or no benefit for people in low-risk groups. High-risk groups see significant benefi…

VLDL is worse than regular LDL but high LDL in general is an issue. The science here isn't "If your LDL is denser everything is just peachy and you can be fine with 100 LDL," it's …

Significant inflammation reduction, which is another factor in ASCVD. More plaque sticks to you the more inflammation there is. It's a feedback loop, as well. There are some that w…

It (Particularly ApoB/Combining LDL-C and Lp(a) is one of the single largest leading indicators of health risk we have. If anything, the data we have is suggesting we've gotten wro…

> Low cholesterol production is an extremely serious condition. This is correct, but not in the way you mean it. We know people can effectively produce no LDL cholesterol in their …

The problem is if DDR4 was viable here it would also be absurdly expensive. There’s no world in which we survive this demand without a corresponding increase in supply. It’s not li…

I snagged my two 4tb acer variants for under 4k each. CDW still has them listed for close to what I paid.

I’ve got a 128gb m5 max mbp and two sparks. For my real-world use cases, a single spark running DS4 Flash will have fully responded by the time my Mac has even started generating t…

Plenty of demand outside the US. Why would the hyperscalers not buy the chinese RAM for all of their datacenters across the world besides the US one? Rising supply from China will …

Anything where you're dealing with a large volume of records/documents. Lots of people are using these for large-scale digitization of documents - scanned stuff being OCR'ed and su…

> The cuda cores can be broken up into compute complexes which larger blocks of memory directly attached to the cores. Perhaps in theory, but for the gb10 stuff the memory is all o…

The dgx spark is the same chip and those are in the low 3s to 5 range for most of them depending on manu, storage config, etc. The dgx sparks also have connectx 7 cards in them to …

Prefill is another advantage vs. Apple. It's way way way way faster on a spark than it is even on an m5 max. Same model, same quant, same query, as close to as matched settings as …

Not true. This is aimed squarely at the Strix Halo and Mac markets. It's basically just strictly better than the Strix, and it's not clear cut vs that Macs in any sort of blanket s…

For these in specific, they appear basically transparently to the GPU. There's a lot of software/firmware stuff for this, but also a different hardware architecture - while the RAM…

Never had this issue with any of my MBP. I never even have magsafe available, couldn't tell you where a USB-C to magsafe cable is in my house if my life depended on it.

There are a variety of inference engines that support this, regardless of whether or not there is native FP8 in Ampere - llama.cpp will do it quite happily. VLLM you can do W8A16 q…

I remember getting my first CalDigit TB dock and being excited - everyone seemed to love them. I expected it to largely Just Work. That thing Didn't Work more than it Worked, but o…

You can split tensors across an AMD GPU and Nvidia GPU - different architectures are not an issue. People run LLMs across some pretty crazy setups.

I've had multiple X520-DAs in desktop cases for years without doing anything special for cooling. Hell, one of them was in a fully watercooled system that had very little in-case a…

To the best of my knowledge, the Indian support teams for AWS have all the same access their US/EU/etc. support teams have when it comes to escalation and communication avenues. Ob…

From talking to people I know on support teams at hyperscalers and other tech companies: A mind-boggling huge portion. But even as an AI believer and thinking it's great for this s…
