isn’t 4d a line of cubes? would need 6d for cubes of cubes?

Styx would like a word.

need for quota to grow, but overall, its better for Canadians to have cheaper Asian shoes, than rely on US owned industry that wants subsidies while cutting production here. Even if Canada gets a labour cut, which is in extreme doubt, US plan is to isolate NA market to extortionist uncompetitive oligopoly.

Your link is based on them only making $1.3B in q1, instead of hoping for $1.4B profit. As AI would say, that’s not broke, that’s a 1300 foot superyacht.

I knew the quota system would limit to high end cars, but was hoping for $80k models.

decent performance on 6gb gpu without quantization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F_5pdcD3HY&t=9s

qwen 3.6 is awesome, but 48-64gb is still real money these days. (though 32gb on dedicated separate machine is also more money). Sonnet 3.5 to opus 4.5 level benchmarks. and the online cost metrics for 27b and 35b are way off considering the overall usefulness of a 48-64gb machine (inclusive of gpu vram for 35b) which even in single, non batching, use could displace $5-$7/day of use.

Local costs are much lower than online costs in linked chart, but if online, there are better models

Literally the most absurd offer in history of universe. You pay $150/month to have some extra noise and space taken away from you. While they install batteries in your home, it is for their use, and takes up more space. All you get is a phone app that can turn off lights in other rooms.

Their production rate is still 4 per month. They did promise large production capacity this year.

Can’t peaches be used to make alcohol? Is closing of canning plants with captive supply based on US immigration policies?

Weird map should be illegal, not on race basis, but, they made districts in the middle of nowhere smaller, while there are giant districts spreading over populous Nashville and Memphis in addition to giant rural area.

To analyze effect on election outcomes, https://engaging-data.com/county-electoral-map-land-vs-population/ (shows county results that districts don’t respect, afaiu) you could compare 2020 election results, and add Dems overperforming 10% over Biden, and that can be more than 1 tenessee district blue. If this is midterm map, memphis/nashville turnout can win 3-4 states.

This can happen, because GOP in Memphis/Nashville would run a lesser-nazi (not Trump sycophant) level candidate to just steal a few votes for senate/national level, and voter turnout can be low if they know district result is certain. Even splitting Memphis 3 ways, winning all 3 districts is possible. Nashville split is not clear to me.

You can be angry at GOP bs, but this is mostly an opportunity for Dems. Older map was a much longer shot at flipping a seat.

Safe Dem seats also is a recipe for pure Zionist first, do nothing else, rule. Same with racially divided seats that increase divisiveness, and increase pure facist ideology from bumfuck counties, who don’t need to concern themselves with humanist values, because none of their voter base has any.

new generation of models makes the cost of inference lower, so that with sufficient customer volume, the companies running the models can make enough profit on inference to make up for the staggering up-front capital expenditures

cost per quality is definitely going down at a fast rate. LLM providers are in extremely competitive field, where open weight models are at a huge competitive advantage for any quality level (privacy, customizability). The competition is all on 2 month release cycles that essentially throw away the old version/code/weights each time. When Claude pretends its newest model is too powerful for non oligarchs to use, it limits its token reach, and then required contribution margin per token.

The buisness model flaw is “one day, a winner becomes a monopoly, and AGI self improves the model at low (except for ultra expensive compute) cost.” Monopoly pricing power is very hard/impossible to achieve, because if necessary, foreign governments will subsidize competition to not let a hostile US empire AGI monoplist take hold. Due to corrupt energy oligarchy, it is categorically impossible for US hosted services to ever provide comparative value compared to rational economic energy policies outside of the US. Distillation (Teacher/student RL) means that using another AGI (or leading LLM) will improve models that are behind. There will always be competition on the price/quality curve that prevents even the best/most expensive model from capturing all share. There’s always free tier LLM competition availability as well.

Finally, there are layers above LLMs. Agentic and swarm and “deterministic program access”/validation front ends to LLMs can add various levels of token burn, but also divert most tokens from the expensive LLMs, and iteratively improve output. There isn’t just a cost/quality curve there is a cost/speed/quality/privacy curve, where non AI coordination tools can improve on the latter curve points independently of leading/expensive LLM/AGI quality.

This is new, and somehow related to onshore wind farms. Courts have issued rulings that DoD BS about radar interference was BS related to offshore windfarms, (previously OK’d by DOD for not creating interference) essentially allowing them to resume. This would be even more BS, with no possible chance of passing court review, because DoD can’t make radar BS claim.

Can’t you just vibe code your banking app? As long as I can make my balance higher, this will beat iphone rounded corners banking app.

so paywalled, didn’t even show a byline.

This is fundamental mechanism behind subprime crisis., Channels to offload debt so that more debt can be issued.

where are the content changes?

Dit it actually air saturday mornings? Or some weeknight past 8pm?

Never mind the issue of incorrect political bias classification, is political bias a bannable offense? That seems to be the prompt focus being used.

A lot of companies building AI datacenters, are laying off people to afford the gamble. Oracle, Meta the biggest ones. So there’s a real burning of core bridges effect to get into the bubble gold rush.

Long-term the only available and viable solution is making electric vehicles more attractive (by subsidizing them, the electricity to operate them and/or punishing the purchase of ICE cars).

Carbon tax and dividend is best/only policy not subject to political BS. $300/ton is right tax level (75c/liter gasoline). In US, that would be enough to pay each citizen/resident $4000/year with unchanged behaviour. EVs are better TCO even at $1/liter gasoline. Government/polticians doesn’t need to be involved in marketing “science benefits”, and carbon tax and dividend costs 0. Let private sector convince people how to save money with a better type of car, or let people use transit/cycling or live closer to where they need to go to. You effectively do punish behaviour that needlessly wastes fuel.

EV subsidies incentivizes car purchases not car use. If a used gas guzzler is cheap because it is uneconomical for most people, someone who needs it for 10 miles/week of school drop off and groceries gets a cheap car that pays for minimal climate destruction it contributes to. West has tried EV incentives before. Political BS of giving incumbents $$$Bs, while establishment funds disinformation to protest against the subsidies and disruption of establishment. Human sustainability gets massive disinformation budget to condemn it.
