In November last year I could still buy them for €1.57 each.
Or is the only way to do that successfully, doing it subconsciously/covertly like the state actors are swaying public opinion? :-/
2/ This is like complaining that climate activists were harping too much 30 years ago, and that's why nobody listened
I would love if we'd put efforts towards better economic/political systems.
The Mac mini GPU also isn't as optimized as the datacenter GPUs
Training a year, and running a marathon feels more worthy of recognition than driving 42km in a car from the start to the finish.
While I don't empathize with the defeatist tone of the post. I do empathize with this part.
> government should be small enough that it fears the people
How would that work when the government controls the military? Would that mean that a country's military has to remain small?
A well-funded minority can shape what the majority is angry about.
Do you mean the users of the browsers not benefitting, or specific Google employees/stakeholders?
Given (enough) time, it’ll also happen to the ones at the peak now.
The SR-71 was uncontested in the 70'ies, but it wouldn't be today. Today it would be vulnerable. Missiles reach higher and fly faster. There are missiles that are designed to intercept ICBM's, which come in faster than a Mach-3 SR-71.
Radar detection, tracking and firing has also become much more effective in the last 60 years.
I think they planned with proper return. Which can also be at slower speed.
How old is your NVMe?
If we want the heat pump's cold end at about 40–65°C, then for each 1MW of GPU heat, we need another 1MW of heat pump power. Now you need 2MW of solar power.
Good news is that the radiator at 227C (500K) can emit about 5× more heat per square meter than at 57C (330K)
But on-topic: iOS shouldn't show any ads.
A lot of other crafts and jobs need way more expensive hardware. Software engineers "only" need a $1,000 - $3,000 laptop every 5 or so years. That's typically less than 0.5% of that 5 year's salary.
> For the US, ASEE and NCES put engineering bachelor's degrees at a stable 130,000–145,000 a year, rising above 200,000 if computer science is included. Because China counts CS as engineering, the fair comparison is roughly 1.35M against 230–250k US engineering plus CS graduates. That is about 5–6x in absolute terms. Adjusted for population (1.41B vs 335M), China produces about 950 per million people and the US about 700 (1.3–1.4x more).
Even Claude highlights that the numbers aren't apples to apples and in China the definition of "engineer" is more loose. I do believe that in relative numbers, more engineers graduate in China
On lawyers:
> In the US there were 1,322,649 active lawyers as of January 2024. For China, there were around 650,000 lawyers in 2022. Which in relative terms is 8x in the US than China.
At 1G constant acceleration reaching Andromeda would take ~15 years, or ~29 years if we also need to decelerate at the same 1G rate to not just whoosh by.
The furthest known galaxy is MoM-z14, which would take ~47 years to reach.
But unlike Andromeda, MoM-z14 is accelerating away from us, or more precisely, the space between us and MoM-z14 is expanding. It's "receding" at 726,000 km/s (= 2.4 times the speed of light). And still accelerating. Because of these, even the magical constant 1G accelerating spaceship can never reach it, not even in 1 Billion years.
It's off-putting to me too. I wonder if the AI enthusiasts that stopped manually writing also find it off-putting
