It’s worth noting nvme and ssds make this possible. If this were off an hdd this approach would likely be slower.

I continue to wait for a compromise pointing to a cdn, cloud provider, or some other shared component like a JavaScript library that underpins the modern internet. This does not appear to be it according to the article. Something like an analytics service could really cause wide impacts.

Seems like this is a compilation of other breaches.

It can. Ubiquitous level 2 is probably more important than fast charging.

Being able to get 8kwhs typically requires a 2 phase 50a circuit. Delivering a garage full either requires shared charging, or upgrades to support it.

It’s like an older gpu. It’s able to perform similar to a v100 for some cases we tested out. It was like a 10x the avx512 solution for the same problem on an icelake cpu.

I was calculating TCO vs cloud services the other day and was amazed at how little tier pricing had changed since 2015/2016. Previously they were dropping by ~20% yoy now they’ve stalled out at the current pricing levels. Meanwhile the cost of the commodities in a server has dropped over that same time frame. The difference in costs likely translated to higher profits. Especially in the last 6 months.

Isn’t it well known they had major issues with the battery design and 2 or 3 recalls related to it. If i remember correctly one of them include a warning not to park inside due to the risk of a fire.

AMD was but focused on hpc instead on ml. They have very large installations, but the card is tuned for fp32+ calculations not lower precisions like NVIDIA.

Isn’t this what happened with the credit default swaps? Banks found ways to lend money and pass the rush between them, causing failure for everyone. Yet here we are again with a new version of the same issue.

ASML said they can skip predicting orders for EUV. I would assume that there is one more generation of chips at at least 5nm that achina can hit. The sanctions aren’t working.

That said I have a really hard time believing the Mate 60 is a real competitor to Apples chip’s and phone, they are 1 full process behind. Additionally, this feels like China pushing back on apple similar to the government ban implemented this week.

Is this a side effect of low interest rates not allowing the traditional investment returns expected for the risk? Largely these folks held commercial real estate and bonds.

I keep thinking the near zero interest rates messed up a lot of things, and we’ll continue to see them pop up for the next few years.

It’s likely about taxes.

A company I worked for with two Bay Area locations wanted to use badge data to show that certain employees were not based in SF. They were using badge data to support this, and then they could reduce their sf tax base.

For remote in general I’m sure this also applies, even more at the state level. Say you’re in Nevada but coming to the office 4 times a week in California. California will come after its tax share, without any question. It’s likely there a headache to figure out for both you and your company.

I wonder how much emergency responders have negatively impacted the economy over the years by insisting on safety protocols that are above and beyond what are required. Two examples I can think of are the opposition to battery storage in homes in California, and the expansion of code requiring fire sprinklers in most new construction. These were done to improve emergency conditions, but may have slowed battery storage installation and new construction.

This feels similar in to me.

This.

I think he under estimates the arrival of solutions based on economic pressure. He sights platinum as an example of extremely limited resources. I think if supplies are cut off new solutions will be found, and new mines. It’s just the best current mines are priced low enough further exploration isn’t sensible. Same with silicon production.

Oil production in the us is a good example of this. We slowef producing oil because costs were too high, and exploration wasn’t worthwhile. When costs caught up, new techniques were developed, and new fields were discovered.

Yes power in CA is expensive, and might be right for a Volt. However, here is a comparison of a Polestar 2 using $0.36 electricity: Full charge (.36 * 78kwh) = 28.08 Range = 276 mi Cost of fuel per mile = $0.10

Subaru Outback Full tank of gas (ca avg 4.89 18.5 gallon capacity) = 90.46 Range = 476 mi Cost of fuel per mile = $0.19

Its still almost half the cost of gas. That said, experientially at times it feels more expensive. Also, there are rate plans that move the cost lower to something like $0.21 instead, which really relies on you managing your charging times.

Class 2 would be 9 to 10 kw. For reference 33 kw is around requires cables in the us roughly 1 - 3/4 inch conduit. Each piece of equipment requires its own circuit so you likely have multiple circuits in the conduit depending on code. All that said commercial cooking and refrigeration require a lot of power.

Going back to charging, for a circuit the size this would likely need your be looking at something with at least 3 1 inch wires, and would be at least 2.5 inches in diameter when packaged. It likely needs cooling too which means even more diameter.

Everyone time I read a low charge time, the thing that comes to mind is the ability of the charging cable to carry that much power that quickly. Minimally that means you’re delivering 6x the electricity (2x the amount and 3x as fast). I’m assuming the charging is pretty efficient, so you have to scale up the charger, and a bunch of issues start coming up. For this reason I think 10m charge times are bs.

The original title here is misleading the report shows a slow down in the inflation rate when looking at the 12 month index. This indicates a 4.8% rate (minus food and energy) compared to something like 5.2% in May.

Basically inflation is returning declining.

I’ve been posting off and on this year after a long hiatus.

GaAs is used in various diode production from what I recall.

It didn't have cgroups, because at the time it was thought of as a distributed system meaning it would run a single service, authentication for example, and there was no real ability to share resources in the way we do today.

Remember CPUs were largely single threaded, and you had expensive multi-cpu systems that ran 2, 4, and 8 CPUs. Compute heavy processes consumed entire systems, or CPU since SMT was also not common. You couldn't effectively microsegment CPU usage, because you were only really multiplexing idle time. Additionally, your OS had to consume more cycles to do that resource sharing.

Today, the story is pretty similar, but we have systems with multiple cores, and SMT. We can share resources more effectively, but its also that our systems have 16x more scheduling slots.

I remember a two decades ago when the engineering team made us implement an open office plan at a company. No one wanted walls or cubes.

Now it being rejected more and more. I feel it’s like it’s generational.

I actually tend to think of it to add feature degradation and handle micro service issues. It always seemed better to have the client manage that, and more graceful.

I wondered when this narrative would start. Companies want employees back in the office, and are starting to dial up the fear to do it.

This story seems based on a comment a CEO made and nothing more than that. It does highlight real issues with remote work, such as what is it that your are paying a us worker for vs a worker from a cheap labor market?

I spent a lot of time thinking about this, and the conclusion I reached is while the cpu may be cheaper, it can generate revenue where the fpga cannot. So even thought the tco may seem upside down the opportunity cost of using a few cores makes up for the additional cost.

Gcp for example has the potential for ~1 k revenue per core over a system lifespan. A smart nic is probably ~1.5k, so saving 2 cores outs you in the black and has other security advantages.

Basically it sounds like your water cooling system was undersized. You didn’t have a good method to cool the water, so you just built up heat in your working fluid.

The air did a better job because it was open. So you average initial temp was higher but could be sustained, because you always had cool air.

If you had a radiator with a fan it’s like the water solution would have still worked better.

According to Jonathan Haidt in the righteous mind, western cultures value autonomy, so the behavior is well explained by this.

Kind of a bummer on that. There is definitely a shift going on as folks move out of riskier assets to assets with guaranteed returns. How bad will it get, who knows.

The biggest issue I see is that startups failed to build self sufficiency and over spent. For example, deep discounts. Uber and Lyft could outspend on discounts lowering the price of a cab. However it’s not like cabbies we’re high income, so really the we’re competing with cities selling medallions. Nyc, sf, Chicago were great markets, the rest of the low density us(especially without a cab market) probably not so much. They kept spending to support the growth, and once the incentives are removed we can see the actual market share captured, and the actual return in investment.

I don’t think investors would have supported the growth first strategy as much as the did without low interest rates.

This is where I think it probably should be. Solar w/o another generation or storage source doesn't accurately represent the full picture of what is really required to support the a whole day of electricity. So the combined total cost is probably what should be shown to represent the costs of a full day cycle of solar, or a rainy day.
