Cultivating and leveraging fear is truly a cornerstone of Security™. I don't think the claims about capability are ridiculous. The idea that the general capability is proprietary a…

Sir this is a Wendy’s

> Small companies can have downsides, and big companies can have benefits. A virtue of scale is that it can provide resilience in an age of crisis. Nassim Taleb would argue the pol…

This has been developing for a while... The big players have basically been competing for allocations of a set production, so NVIDIA negotiated into the allocations that some % of …

you're right mostly, person above even created a nice diagram

makes sense, thank you. How'd you generate the diagrams so quickly?

reductionist view can be applied to what we call "thinking" and "intelligence" too. When I'm asked a question, my brain is also just picking a suitable sequence of words based on m…

not a web person - why does the original approach not have the CORS problem? Isn't it still generating the request from the same local machine?

Denoting it in $ for efficiency is peak capitalism, cmv.

TPUs are essentially garbage compared to NVIDIA hardware. TPUs are king of nothing, but a primary ingredient in Kool-Aid

Not a meaningful amount :). Their “AI chips” are, for now, marketing.

There is nothing of value in this article

It's my understanding from friends in the business that the actual chips do not represent any capacity issue or bottleneck, it's actually manufacturing the devices that the chips a…

still blown away that he was my calc II professor in college.

It's an entire book, based on a massive research project, of which that was one small result. The clickbait title of the book is because that is what sells books. "good managers ar…

There is a leadership book called "First Break all the Rules - What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently". It's data driven by a large meta-survey and research project. One…

even type II water, which is a standard output of off-the-shelf lab water filtration systems, only has And Platinum is like $30 a gram. There is 1/5th of a gram of Gold in a standa…

Good intuition about the importance of pure water. In professional engineering, filtering water is a sufficiently solved problem. Even for consumer use, you can buy multi-stage fil…

does anyone know how it works that towards the end of the video, it shows the resulting torque curve of the motor is actually negative for a decent span. Does this mean the motor a…

Maybe some irony here as IIRC Facebook started as essentially a scraping company, pulling student profiles from college websites and re-publishing it for their own profit. The scra…

The largest fault in the practical (life) applications of probabilistic thinking is that estimating the odds in real-time is often impossible. Poker is a constrained environment wh…

Is this site related to Knowledge Project / Farnam Street (fs.blog), a competitor, or just a ripoff??? I noticed because I read what seems to be the exact article there, with the s…

I had a systematic way of doing this for reverse engineering a large undocumented system. First you get first principles in mind - there is control flow (execution), data (files, d…

Haven't looked further, but I'm wondering about that. Is that the result of training to be able to explain that specific joke, or is it generalized? In the past these things have b…
