    What I like about this, is that it significantly increases the probability of a sci-fi scenario where you're picking up a hot chip on the black market; rumor has it, Mythos 9 weigh…

    > The only argument they have here is that they use GB300 GPU's which for some reason should not be available to chinese citizens Note that Chinese companies are free to rent from …

    On the one hand, these debts may be off the balance sheet, but institutional investors certainly know about them and can reason about the company's valuation. Retail investors may …

    Noticed this as well. And the additional definitions under "explore this word" are all relating to the root word, not the actual form of the answer

    Definitely agree, I was very confused to see the latest guess (and with the most narrow letter ranges) at the bottom of the list.

    Though, by the time we've replicated a complete industrial hinterland (up to and including a semiconductor supply chain) which the author describes, it seems like generating fuel a…

    I suppose it depends if you're assuming the probe is a complete factory, just taking in regolith and spitting out new probes, vs if the probe deploys and builds up the factory on t…

    > So the question is can they keep the pricing up on the older ones a few years down the line They don't expect to keep the prices flat over time, and everyone involved will have p…

    Unrelated to the accomplishment or proof itself, but it's interesting how much of the prompt, even in this latest-and-greatest model, is spent essentially telling the model to actu…

    >> approximately 700,000 A100e GPU hours of black-box automated red teaming Amusing that they use A100e as the reference point to sound impressive. Different ways you could make th…

    If I recall correctly, Gibson had never even used a computer at the time of writing Neuromancer, so that's perhaps not shocking.

    Uhm.. Super High Frequency (SHF) and Extremely High Frequency (EHF) would like to have a word. Though yes in my experience, at those frequencies people stop using ITU designations,…

    Logic gates and memory bits have very different fabrication processes (mostly because DRAM is optimized for a high density of big capacitors doing the storage). You can put some me…

    I enjoyed that book. But which part are you referring to?

    Someone please give Nemotron a thesaurus. This reminds me of the early days of SEO, where you try to hit 1% keyword density. The new game is finding a single sentence with the most…

    Interesting writeup. Would be nice to have a couple images of Linear A/B scripts to visualize. Looking on google, they're very daunting!

    The water is a clever impedance matching trick. The contrast in density between air and human flesh is high, so the waves all reflect off the surface rather than penetrating and re…

    This is really interesting! And perhaps surprisingly doesn't trigger any immediate major technical red flags (as someone who has worked with MRI and phased array beamforming), as m…

    We already ultrasound babies in the womb, so one would hope this has been studied.

    To be clear, fuel cells are considered "low air pollution" because they eliminate certain nasty combustion products (NOx), but they still produce as much CO2 per kWh as a gas turbi…

    Also gas turbines are on backorder until 2029, and new grid connection queues on a similar timescale. Hence why all the bitcoin miners are cashing in (or trying to) by converting t…

    Minor point, but is there a trademark issue here with Yahoo Scout? (the Yahoo finance AI summaries widget)
