U-234 is ~3000x less radioactive than Pu-238, so having ~120g of U-234 is negligible. I really fail to see a problem with these tiny amounts of non-brittle material embedded into a…

I found the specs for the fuel source: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e9/SNAP-19C_Moun... The high-power unit had 300 grams of Pu-238 in 1965. Given its 87.7 years hal…

> that (checks notes) has the potential to poison most of North India. How large is the amount of plutonium in there? I highly doubt that it has the claimed potential.

I am usually running Claude Code in tmux on a Mac. Absolutely zero scroll issues (but I use tmux scroll for that, naturally). It's a delight.

Apple raised iPad Pro prices in 2017 by $50 to address NAND memory chips price hikes from the vendors: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/13/ipad-pro-price-increase.html

Quilter is a real deal. Hopefully, open source catches up at some point. But for now, it's Quilter or a lot of manual work & more design iterations.

Yeah, this company (GeneralistAI) is, in my opinion, the most advanced robotics+AI company in the world. Slightly behind them Google DeepMind Robotics and Physical Intelligence, an…

In the meantime, China is constructing nuclear cargo ships ([1], [2]) that will be able to transport 14,000 containers at full throttle (200MW) without a need to refuel for years. …

I refer to the RDNA4 instruction set manual ([1]), page 90, Table 41. WMMA Instructions. They support FP8/BF8 with F32 accumulate and also IU4 with I32 accumulate. The max matrix s…

Not only they do not release models/weights. They don't even tell the size of the models! The linked whitepaper is pretty useless, and I am saying as a big fan of diffusion-transfo…

The story is amazing and officially available online: https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

This is just a fake product page to gauge interest. From their "order" page: > UPERFECT Omega is currently in the concept stage and will soon be put into research and development.

Quote from the article: >With these innovations, the team fabricated a 1.09 cm2 flexible monolithic perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cell. Competing with top rigid counterparts, the de…

It's 32GB for $1300 for Blackhole p150a([1]). The rest of your point is very true. 1. https://tenstorrent.com/hardware/blackhole

They seem to be showing very decent performance results for diffusion transformers. Not so much for the autoregressive transformers (the "regular" ones).

DeepSeek R1 has 671B parameters. If you want to run at 8 bits/parameter (the native format for DeepSeek R1, in which it was trained, so the top performance possible for the model),…

It's far from the first generation. Unitree has been selling robot dogs for over 6 years now and I remember them being a lot less refined. See, for example, what Unitree was sellin…
