Correct, this is the actual headline too. 100 tflops sure seems like it'd be more than that, but here we are.

If the headline was "FB8 is ~7% faster when kernel name has 'cutlass' in it...", it wouldn't seem sensational.

Flying is incredibly less expensive largely due to deregulation, and Budweiser has always been brewed with rice. So, yes, this is winning.

It is, and small teams were often rebelling against incumbents, so rejecting the aesthetics of big companies was a good way to attract talent.

Hadn't thought about it this way before, but given that LLMs are auto regressive (use their own data for next data), they're sensitive to error drift in ways that are rather similar to analog computers.

While I'm sure some chemical byproducts come out of that, it's important to note that hydrocarbons assuredly make some really nasty stuff along the way [1]. I also wish there was a way to more easily compare these things, but the misinformation around environmental data is really next level. General, consider thinking about renewable infrastructure as more of a stock that accumulates vs fossil fuel usage which is a flow.

(slightly) less pop science version: fiber optic cables are so sensitive, they can even detect the sounds of cidadas.

Watts aren’t energy, so no idea what this means.

Anyone know why this chart[1] hasn't been updated in a while? One of my favorite displays of incremental improvements in a project.
