I enjoyed some of the incorrect options. For "Debilitate" one of the options was "Remove a bill from the tab".
Look neat. FYI clicking "See All Connectors" is a 404.
A UUID v4 is a 128 bit number, but 4 bits are reserved to specify the version number and 2 more bits are reserved to specify the variant, which leaves 122 bits of randomness. That means it can take on 5 x 10^36 possible…
Neat. What about power density? An H100 has a TDP of 700 watts (for the SXM5 version). With a die size of 814 mm^2 that's 0.86 W/mm^2. If the cerebras chip has the same power density, that means a cerebras TDP of 37.8…
I'm an American living in Germany. When I first arrived, the way Germans write the digit 1 surprised me. They write it with the upper hook thing very long, almost like a capital lambda (Λ), which sometimes makes 1 and A…

I clicked their link to Knative so I could read about it. On the Knative webpage, the cookie banner pops up. I don't want to accept so I click "learn more". That expands the cookie banner to include a button that says…
There's a recent Tom Scott video about an office inside an elevator. It has a desk and chairs, the whole thing. It's on the corner of the building too. It seems, from his video, that nobody is really sure why it was…
My question here is about underlying fab capacity. This chip is made on TSMC 4N, along with the H100 and 40xx series consumer GPUs. I assume Nvidia has purchased their entire production capacity. I also assume that…
See also the International Obfuscated C Code Contest. [0] This program [1], for example. It just accepts some input on stdin and returns the same input, but mirrored along the diagonal. So the first row of the input…
There's also this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3FkAUbetWU He shoots the Prince Rupert's drop with a bullet. The bullet wins. In high speed, you can see the bullet splat against the glass and break into shards,…
I've read about this. Studying the psychology of group dynamics and conflict in a confined environment was a part of the experiment. Sure enough, the crew of 8 quickly split into two factions. It still seems like a…
So, what do people think of Vivaldi? I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've been scanning for a new browser for a while now. Even if it weren't for stuff like this, I'll have to change anyway when Firefox dips below ~3%…
I hope that Brother doesn't succumb to the same forces that drove HP (and everyone else) to these decisions. In the short term it makes sense for HP because 1. At first the printer works well. This causes reviewers, who…
I took a linear algebra class in high school and we used two textbooks for the class. One gave a simple and soft presentation which we used most of the time. The other one was much more rigorous, referred to in hushed…
> retail GPUs are much more powerful I agree with your basic point about building vs renting, but retail GPUs aren't simply more powerful. Retail GPUs are just as fast but have a lot less VRAM and memory bandwidth. The…
One of the issues is availability. Lambdalabs and Paperspace never have instances available. AWS and GCP have the per-account quota set to 0 by default for GPU instances and deny requests to raise it, even to 1. (One of…
AI is moving too fast to regulate. A lot has happened in the field just during the time that these "last minute amendments" have been discussed. It's more likely that the EU will end up with laws that are obsolete by…
I spent a while trying to find the 'but' in that sentence. I assume you meant 'not'. :)

I'm aware of these laws but I've always wondered - what if a German startup really does want to operate in a new and "unexpected" way, but doesn't want to trick their customers? They put the unexpected stuff clearly on…
> What beats Steam will not be a better Steam. It will be something else... Right. It will probably still have to be better than Steam though. Like a game streaming service in which all the games are available to play.…
Bitwarden already does one thing well. It's everything I'm looking for - open source, costs money but not much ($10/yr), 2FA, clean interface. I'm happy for the new investment, but I hope they don't start adding new…
