Only problem is that they cost $10,000/mo instead of $10/mo.

Pop 3 stars were formed in the very early universe and have been long gone. So there is no way for us to see the light they emitted without looking at the most distant galaxies.

The cost of training is actually quite a bit less. Emad, the creator of SD stated this on Twitter:

"We actually used 256 A100s for this per the model card, 150k hours in total so at market price $600k"

There is more to life than chasing TC.

If you ever find yourself asking "WHY???", the answer is probably "Why not?"

That's a typo, Frontier uses the Slingshot network from Cray/HPE. The table below has the correct information.

Not to diminish their contribution but implementing the model is only one third of the battle. The rest is building the training dataset and training the model on a big computer.

The biggest problem is having to deal with USCIS, at least until you get your green card. Simple things like renewing your driver license, getting a mortgage, filling your taxes becomes way more complicated and sometimes impossible. Depending on the type of your your visa, you may have to postpone your foreign travel or job changes while done paperwork is stick in limbo at the USCIS. And if somehow you get into a complicated situation because USCIS messed up your application (happens more often than you think), be prepared to be stonewalled or ignored while you pull your hair out trying to fix it.

Is there any evidence to support that NRC/CAA and farm laws caused slowdown of growth? Or is it a laundry list of things that Modi government did so they must be bad?

The US military is a job creation program first, and a defense force second.

Doesn't imply that positions popularly held by self-proclaimed liberals are closer to any objective truth. Reality is what we make of it through our biased consciousness, colored by our value system and sense of morality.

Unfortunately, Democrats don't have a great track record of passing pro skilled immigration bills either. In 2009-2010, when Democrats controlled the house and the senate as well as the presidency, they didn't bring in a single major immigration reform bill [1]. The DREAM act for childhood arrivals didn't pass the senate, and DACA was later passed through executive order in 2012. And right now some Democrats continue to oppose skilled immigration claiming that it is "racist" [2].

> It's a win-win.

Except for the individuals. US educated students who want to remain in the US, work, and raise a family are now basically being told to go back. Or people who prefer the US for non-monetary reasons (crazy thought, I know).

But what I find interesting is that programs like the diversity visa (DV) lottery with even more relaxed requirements or even illegal immigration don't get scrutinized as much as H1-B. I wonder if it's because H1-B workers primarily compete for well-paying white collar jobs while most DV winners and illegal immigrants go for blue-collar jobs.

While I don't think being able to sell your organs is immoral or unethical, there are practical ramifications that makes it difficult to agree with your position.

If organ selling is legalized, poor people will be coerced by force or by money. And they may not realize the full health implications of that until much later, where they have no recourse.

As a society, we generally try to prevent people from entering such unfair contracts, e.g, you can't agree to become a slave, or establishing ceiling on interest rates to limit predatory lending. People willing to sell their organs are probably desperate enough to agree to anything, and saving them is worthwhile.

> If he is making the workplace less comfortable for particular groups of people then I certainly would have no issue firing him.

Would you be okay with firing an LGBT person because they "made the workplace less comfortable" for some conservative employees?

Just be aware that it's a double edged sword. Mass acceptance of censorship makes it easy to stifle societal progress by designating ideas which you disagree with as extremist content. We are lucky that the people currently at the helm of tech industry happen to hold mostly liberal views that we broadly agree with. If that was not the case, the same argument could have been used by them to suppress many left-wing/progressive ideas that you may hold dear.

1. Price discrimination (some people care a lot about the purchase price, some aren't that concerned)

2. Upselling higher end models and trims (add-ons are where the money is)

3. Signing up people for high-interest long term loans they shouldn't take on (negotiating monthly payment instead of purchase price)

It's far more likely that he held some options that became worthless due to the sudden drop in the stock price. I love Elon and his vision but tweeting that was irresponsible.

Sometimes you can learn a lot from the metadata without actually looking into the actual data stream. For example, if B&H was hosted on AWS, Amazon could deduce the effectiveness of their holiday sale tactics by looking at the overall page traffic, DB writes, etc. These metrics are already recorded by Amazon for billing purposes and someone stealing a glance at them would likely leave zero evidence.

You are correct, my math was way off. Buying ITM options is definitely not the best way to protect capital.

On the contrary. For example, MSFT is currently trading at ~$165. A single MSFT Put option expiring on March 19, 2021, which gives you the right (but not the obligation) to sell 100 shares of MSFT at $165 at any time before expiry currently costs less than $20. So for $20, you can protect your $16,500 asset from a market downturn for a year. Also, options were significantly cheaper before the recent increase in market volatility.

This may come across as crass but I legitimately believe that there is a market for "emergency preparedness" as a service. It can deliver a set of basic necessities at sign up and perishable supplies at regular intervals customized for your geographic location, number of family members, storage space etc. While you can do the same by trawling through prepper forums and making monthly trips to Walmart or Costco, it's not as convenient.

Wow. At that point it makes more sense to fly out to another country, see a doctor there, pay for the medication in cash, and take a vacation at the same time with money left over.

But it is also plausible that if an indefinite strike was on the agenda only 1% of them had joined the walkout instead of 20%, making them easier to let go.

> there's such a shortage of top talent domestically in the USA

>> The best engineers I've worked with (by far) have been US-educated

GP's statement does not preclude your experience. For example, all US engineers could have great expertise but there could be only a few of them.

I have used HTTrack in the past for this.

Can someone explain why advertisements for prescription medication should be banned? Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't see anything egregiously wrong with it.

> But. The earth has a tendency to regulate itself and take care of itself. It will wipe out humanity if it needs to and then time will continue.

There is no evidence that the Earth is sentient and assigning needs and wants to it is fallacious. Geological records show that the Earth has gone through several eras where life flourished followed by major extinction events. If we want to achieve long term stability for the human civilization, we need to achieve the power to control the climate and transform landscapes. Of course, we need to do it judiciously; but not developing such capabilities is shooting ourselves in the foot in the long run.

The definition of a supercomputer has changed over the years, but currently what defines a supercomputer is its interconnect. Most of them have InfiniBand or similar with <1us node-to-node latency. It's necessary for the type of workloads typically run on supercomputers, e.g. scientific applications. The fastest you can get on EC2 right now is ~15us, and that requires specialized hardware and software.
