Google uses semantic caching, so if you submit a query that is the same as another query in terms of the AI response, it won’t be generating a new reply each time.

It takes time to build out capacity to increase HDD production, but when operating margins are approaching 30%, somebody is going to want cash in. If the new reality is that every company wants to harvest and retain as much data as possible at all times in case it has potential as training data at some point in the future, then additional capacity will eventually be built to tap into that.

I know it sucks if you need storage now, but I think the smart decision is to hold off until the market stabilizes. You might even get lucky; the bubble might burst and the market will be flooded with cheap excess HDDs.

The only thing I could find relates to the company Oklo.

Ford’s $30,000 EV truck is supposed to be here fairly soon as well, although it looks like that will only be available as a crew cab, sadly.

In his opinion quashing the subpoenas, Schiltz lambasted the government for their “extraordinarily broad” request examining materials “that largely if not entirely relate to constitutionally protected conduct.”

You don’t see enough “lambasts” these days, it’s all “slams” or “blasts”

Homemade ranch with fresh herbs, garlic, buttermilk and fish sauce is amazing.

You wouldn’t, but that’s what governments are effectively asking be done, lending validity to the analogy.

The article is about AWS data centers not AI compute specifically. That’s the cloud infrastructure for a lot of the web. The comparison to agriculture is about scale, not the importance of the Internet vs. agriculture. Using 0.011% of the water as the farms in Kansas to power 25% of the Internet is nothing.

The average for farm land is around 500,000 gallons per acre per year. Using the same amount of water as 5,000 acres of farmland to run >25% of the nation’s cloud resources isn’t enormous. Not that they couldn’t do better.

It is still far from commercially viable yet.

Solid-state sodium is still in the laboratory stage. People assumed Donut was claiming to have developed a solid-state sodium battery due to their “no lithium” statement, but they never specifically claimed they were using sodium.

All solid-state lithium is a bit further along. Korea has pilot plants producing full-sized EV batteries that are being used for testing before they do the final scale up to production. Chinese manufacturers are also basically at the same stage. Those will likely be available in production EVs by 2030.

I was thinking about those red states where they’re now eliminating the last remaining black districts. In so many red states the real election is the Republican primary, since whoever wins that will win the general no matter how abhorrent they are. So why don’t all the now effectively-disenfranchised voters start voting in the Republican primary for the least-awful Republican? I can’t imagine the reaction of Louisiana Republicans if busloads of elderly black people started showing up to “their” primary after church on Sunday.

You can screw my corpse too, if that’s your thing. I’ll be dead and won’t care.

I had no idea eating grass was an option.

Vietnam is like 90% scooters and they dominate transport in pretty much all the other countries there except for maybe Singapore. There’s no way SE Asia as a whole is only 22% if scooters are included in cars. It’s a weird omission.

If you haven’t already done this: wipe all the apps and run the cache-cleaning or whatever it is in the system menu. That should get it back down to where the memory and storage aren’t at 100% and fixes most of the problems. I’ve kept my 2017 Samsung usable that way. Also, if you have a pi-hole you can set it to use that as the DNS and block the advertising domains, retaining most of the smart functionality without all the crap.

Nuclear is the best btw.

What’s the LCoE of new nuclear? What’s the LCoE when you add the cost of the storage mentioned in your meme?

In order to be able to read and replicate a journal article you really need an advanced degree or to do all the work it takes to get one. That demographic skews fairly heavily in one direction. Masami Tsuchiya only had a master’s degree and he built an entire functioning chemical weapons factory on a fairly limited budget. That was way back in the 90s too. The worst things you could do now are 10x easier and could wipe out millions or billions.

He’s saying we should codify war crimes as crimes in the constitution so in order to not commit war crimes presidents would need the precision targeting Palantir would provide. That’s the exact opposite of what the title implies.
