Yeah q8 made so littler difference back when I was testing such things I'd be surprised if people could quickly notice that as a change. It's got to be either further quantized or some other type of optimization that…
It was the M3 Ultra that had that much RAM capacity, not the Pro or the Max. It is disappointing they didn't up it to at least 256GB on the laptops, but we'll have to wait for the next iteration of the studio to see if…
The second foundation was also made by Harry Seldon though, there wasn't a completely separate force that attempted to change history using his research.
You are 100% correct, I lost a full prefix of performance there. Edited my message. Which does make the clusters a fair bit less impressive, but also a lot more sensibly sized.
A high grade consumer gpu a (a 4090) is about 80 teraflops. So rounding up to 100, an exaflop is about 10,000 consumer grade cards worth of compute, and a petaflop is about 10. Which doesn’t help with understanding how…
It took 6 years between the last largest prime number and the most recent. The two gaps before that were each only 1 year though. So depends on how lucky you think you’ll get.
I’ve always thought the real answer was to stop the businesses from hiring people. Make an actually useful national ID system that employers can use to identify if someone is allowed to work in the US, and then come…
I doubt there’s a business model there because who is going to opt in to a scheme that loses them money? What could work is social media giving people an easy button to block links to specific websites from appearing in…
Firing someone for having tattoos or having done sex work is completely legal in almost all US states. Generally speaking, the only things private employers can’t discriminate based on is things intrinsic to who the…
You could freeze your credit, it you wanted to be careful. Realistically though, you should have already been monitoring to check if unexpected things were being done in your name. I’ve presumed that all our SSNs have…
To me it’s similar to the whole “SSO wall of shame” thing, where a vital feature is locked behind more expensive pricing. As said in the article: “We tried saying that we don't need any number of the 14 features that…
Narrowing things down to “this group of people who live together” would be pretty useful forensically, I don’t really see a problem there. Has all the same issues DNA tests do on the “bullshit for the justice system to…
That’s the internal use restriction. There is also the restriction more relevant to the use cases I’m talking about on Value Added Products which is “the customer is prohibited, either contractually or technically, from…
And as I understand that license, you are allowed to use Timescale for anything that doesn’t involve offering Timescale itself as a service. If you were using Timescale to process lots of time series transactions in…
No, the point of the ascension mechanic is that it gets harder and harder so that you need to play more and more optimally to have a chance at winning, there aren’t any benefits past ascension 1. If you aren’t the sort…
Or, perhaps, the sort of person who spends time on a website centered around reading is unsurprisingly in the top percentiles of reading amount.
The use case is watching something with people who are half a world away I think, not with people who are physically present with you.
Would Apple even approve something going on the app store that tried to do things in ways that were that non-standard? More generally it’s not like you can choose to host your own servers or, in forgoing all of Apple’s…
Makes sense to me that only very popular and generic stuff makes the top of the list. Even if Wikipedia was used more for high level queries in aggregate, there’s so many possible things people could be looking into…
The difference is what the primary focus of the game is, I think. Mindustry is a tower defense game that uses factory style base building as added spice. Factorio is a base building game that adds some tower defense…
Sure, but time isn’t necessary for a causal chain. Even if from the perspective of the demigurge it has always existed, in some causal (or anti-causal depending on the laws outside our reality) way it must have…
Almost certainly there is more life out there somewhere. But if the level of rarity is “for every billion years, it happens once in every thousand galaxies” rare, then unless FTL travel is real humanity will probably…
In fairness, training machine learning models is definitely one of areas where only running when it’s cheap to run makes some amount of sense. It’s something you want done eventually, not something that is responding to…
It doesn’t matter how high the skill ceiling is, just how much effort the average player puts into the game. In Starcraft 2 to be top 4% player essentially means to be the worst player in masters league. But the gap in…
Also businesses that could have been profitable, but failed due to being out competed by businesses that secured 10X the venture capital and sold things at unsustainable prices for years.
