- I think that the private carriers are more likely to be helped by this, since they will manage the paperwork.
It’s more likely a set of products that were shipping directly from factories disappears from the market. For example, the direct from factory Halloween costume.
It could end up being a step backwards in living standards and access to daily luxuries.
- Gradual damage is consistent with over heating. I've seen racks of servers do the same thing.
Overall, there is a continued challenge with CPU temperatures that requires much tighter tolerances both in the thermal solution. The torque specs need to be followed and verified that they were met correctly in manufacturing.
- More generally beats better. That’s the continual lesson from data intensive workloads. More compute, more data, more bandwidth.
The part that I’ve been scratching my head at is whether we see a retreat from aspects of this due to the high costs associated with it. For cpu based workloads this was a workable solution, since the price has been reducing. gpus have generally scaled pricing as a constant of available flops, and the current hardware approach equates to pouring in power to achieve better results.
- Scope, it’s all about scope of your team. Em to director requires opportunity as well as performance.
For you that means focusing on a growing area of the company, and finding new areas to grow your team in. You also need to have a team of managers, who are growing their scope as well.

They reach the conclusion here they are more reliable.
- I don’t know this is significantly different than modern engines. They require special tools and software too.
The bigger issue I think is most of the cars are teslas, which didn’t behave like a normal automaker for better or worse. For example the work done during the pandemic to avoid supply chain crunches may result in a maintenance headache a few years from now.
- Mishandling aside, the issue I've seen is there really isn't consumer demand for this. Prior to AMD having AVX512, most of the comments were around wasting the silicon on SIMD, rather than improving other aspects of the CPU. I'm pretty sure there was good reason to think it was largely a dark area of the chip.
From what I've seen, but haven't heard discussed much, the naive implementation vs AVX512 is a huge gain, but AVX2 vs AVX512 was not very impressive for the application I was looking at. The complexity this code added, and the cases where we needed it to run on AMD (for other reasons), basically made taking advantage of the feature undesirable for a single digit gain.
Things like VNNI or AMX are better wins, but they are only needed in very specific cases. VNNI in particular looked to be a 30% improvement in a BERT workload.

- At the core of this article is that these platforms are setup for you to make a living off them alone. You see more successful influencers shilling vpns, and setting up newsletters on YouTube to stabilize revenue. TikTok has the same problem vine did, the content is short form so it a bit difficult to put a pitch in without making a mini infomercial.
- > The intercity rail part is the easy part. Getting people to actually use it requires a pretty decent city transit network on each end.
I don’t think this is true. People take airplanes and rent a cars all the time. The same could be true for train travel. All of the ways someone would leave a train station generally exist.
People don’t take trains for two reasons: 1. They take too long. 2. They are too expensive.
For example sf to la takes at least ~9-13h and costs between 50-80 dollars. Versus a southwest flight for ~140 that takes an hour. For most people that extra 60 dollars for 7-11 hours is worth it.
- This is someone who was on disability or at the very least was entitled to protection under federal or state law. They are trying to limit liability, hence the very straight forward language.
I would be surprised if everyone got these emails, and I would also be surprised to hear they sent lots identical to this.
- I think there have been two major drivers to inflation in fast food: - wages - delivery apps
Wages is pretty obvious, and the article cited the changes in California. It is important to keep in mind that we’ve seen wages jump in the golden state 66% for fast food workers since 2019. That’s huge, especially since labor it’s the largest cost for these restaurants.
Delivery apps added a new fee that showed consumers weren’t as price sensitive as they thought. So I think we’re seeing some increases related to that.
- This all has to do with how commercial real estate is valued; rent determines the valuation. If companies are unwilling to pay the rent the space sits empty waiting for a tenant willing to.
The reason for this is if you take lower rent than previously your building value changes and your lenders make you cough up the difference to cover additional principal.
Since the loans come due every 5ish years we’re now seeing buildings unable to justify their previous value, and having to walk away or get valued at their current rent.
It’s going to be ugly for a while.
I would guess their interconnect technology is what NVIDIA wants. You need something like 75 adapters for an 8b parameter model they had some really interesting tech to make the accelerator to accelerator communication work and scale. They were able to do that well before nvl 72 and they scale to hundreds of adapters since large models require more adapters still.
We will know in a few months.
