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

its ok for coastal mediteranean too. He did use it through canals of northern europe to get down to spain.

Styx would like a word.

The reason you can’t buy RAM anymore is that “projections” are 16gw+ of AI deployment in US this year requires 70% of RAM to be for AI. 5gw is a practical ceiling for projects currently in active development. NVIDIA not only is growing its undelivered inventory at huge rates ($30B latest), its customers have $150B in “Construction in process” inventory as they aren’t getting transformers and utility hookups to finish/power on their datacenters. The circular financing by NVIDIA is just forcing their customers to shift unused GPU inventory into their warehouses. It eventually leads to less new sales/manufacturing of their GPUs, and then hopefully, RAM price normalization.

I understand how black representation, and safe districts, makes incumbents in those districts angry when taken away. Broader power though comes from majority, and past GOP gerrymandering has indeed focused on making 99% dem/black districts so as to make more 55% GOP districts. This is actually the path to both corrupt fascist power monopoly, and increased divisiveness with low voter turnout. Generally, black representation is a distraction for serving other agenda. Obama won due to zionist supremacist establishment approval. Tim Scott is GOP insider with GOP/Zionist first agenda that ignores black issues.

The point is that black representation doesn’t change anything. Like Chuck Schumer, their job is to gaslight the blacks into supporting Israel.

Mixed districts does promise less divisiveness. GOP candidates can’t be all in on KKK/Palantir genocide of all undesirables, or ICE siege of Memphis, when they need Memphis voters too.

Memphis voter turnout can now make a huge difference in Tenessee congressional representation, and Israel/DNC first cooption less important than Tenessee/Memphis relevant issues/harmony.

US (enterprise/kubarnetes) datacenters also average 5% gpu and 8% cpu utilization. Much of datacenter buildout is for “reserving” capacity, even if existing infrastructure could accomodate "spot rental"or “serverless” (let google/aws cram your work request into the machine of their choice) to get 6x+ more “tokens”.

Google/Amazon/MSFT circular investments in the big LLMs are all entirely funded in compute credits. Even if they eventually escape profit velocity, it bleeds equity to the mega tech oligarchy, while padding their revenue/stock price growth.

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

when the temperatures rise, the wind would die,” he said, illustrating one of several reasons he and others think offshore wind isn’t suitable for Lake Erie.

No rebuttal addressed in article. Winter is actually highest energy use in region, and it can all be decarbonized. Solar is allowed as an energy source to help with summer loads.

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?

ty. didn’t know it was real. No one else could possibly pick out the squirrel out of the 3 other animals, so I would brag too :P

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.
