Obviously stoned! :giggle: If you had a clear head you would have suggested an aquatic, diving bird like a canvasback or a cormorant. Water cooling FTW. Want to sell off some NFTs with me and fund this ourselves?

Absolutely -- I had a long-since-passed relative who had a shingles flare up in the 1990s, lost her vision in one eye, and lived for her last ~10 years with an eye patch.

Being a Christopher Nolan movie, I'm sure it'll be interesting to watch. Hopefully he's invested a tiny fraction of his $250M production budget in some creative microphone usage to avoid his previous 'creative blending' of dialog with ambient sounds, especially on the boat scenes. Main...

Wow I didn't look at it until this post, but, just wow. I have literally seen 7th graders who can write a more official sounding document than that. Any LLM could have done a better job.

It's a cute design, but it's impractical for high speed (>35 to 40 mph) roads from a safety and comfort perspective. This is more of a fancy golf cart, just like the Waymo Firefly was back years ago. People tend to have worse motion sickness when facing backward; maybe not as much sideways...

Any game that has multiple tokens / coins / gems that can be exchanged between each other, and at least one of them is purchasable with cash is a SCAM. Any game that uses timers that are linked to cash is a SCAM.

I want to see an article about your 'big science' photography!

Feel free to downvote like crazy given the AI-related suggestion I'm making below :), but... I've wondered if seniors with no other options (i.e. little/no available family, no community link) would benefit from an LLM-based chat companion that had a reasonable amount of "memory" in the sense...

Episode VII? What episode 7? I remember 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, and 3. I thought Episode 7-9 were part of that set of hypothetical movies that were ABSOLUTELY NEVER MADE, kind of like Matrix 2 and 3.

I guess they will need to start buying extra warehouses to hold all the ram, flash drives, and GPUs that have have been allocated to them... and pulled out of our hands. Where are they going to install all this silicon when the buildings don't exist? If the buildings take an extra 2 years...

Late reply, but now that Ford announced that its EV-specific group and the group's leader are gone, my confidence in that next Ford EV truck is going way down. AFAIK, Ford did not cancel this small truck yet, but it is definitely not a much lower priority...

By Ford's playbook, that $30K model will be a stripped-out special that sells a few hundred units. It will be promptly replaced by the "real" base model that is priced at $45K. Note that a base 260-mile, RWD Mach-E is $40K (including $2k 'destination charges').

I had a bit of range anxiety when I started driving an eGolf with 80 miles total range -- it did fade for me after a while. I think I was more concerned about the range prediction on my last gas vehicle, which would vary wildly based on immediate driving style. It became my reality that...

I don't know your situation or childcare practices, but I 100% recommend reading to your kid every day from an entertaining or interesting paper book or magazine. Keep doing it until they can read it for themselves.

Lol agreed, but I was comparing (trying to compare) Satellite Datacenters (i.e. Orbital Racks of Nvidia's next-next-gen AI cluster hardware) with a SpaceX telcom satellite.

Or may be a 5% discount one-year on auto-renewing pet insurance through CostCo?! I can't wait!

This is the equivalent of saying, "I maintain a rental fleet of 10k Toyota Camrys, so I can definitely project the cost of maintaining 1,000,000 Formula1 cars.

Yes that is correct, but it's at much lower bandwidths / higher latency than are required for competitive AI training performance (i put this in another post somewhere). Bandwidth issues can be solved with fancier optical comms, but latency is limited by satellite distance & speed of light.

Good point about the music -- there are so many modern songs rated Explicit for language. (Some genres naturally use more 'R-rated' language than others.) If they are going to use the user's age to restrict music access, I guess 'radio edits' are going to get way more popular.

What's the bandwidth of a high end phased array antenna? Does it match a high bandwidth wired protocol like infiniband (say ~500Gbit/s) that's used in 'basic' cluster computers? What about the GPU-to-GPU bandwidth of NVlink at >1 Tbyte/sec? Now do it all in space over a few 100 km...
