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.

Seriously. It’s not like that was the actual purpose of html or anything.

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.

Classic spinal tap. “These go to eleven.”

Well a carbon tax would essentially end coal.

Or perhaps you overestimate how many people hold any view of Boeing at all.

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.

Roughly 30 times faster than an airliner.

Note that futexes aren’t especially new to Linux anyway. They first appear in kernel version 2.6 released in 2003.

Or we could make a generalized solution, like a carbon tax, that will minimize the government picking winners.

I agree it's not wrong to like trucks, and that hating on the owners is a cheap shot. I also think that this video points out the externalities that trucks impose. In a rational society, one would expect the government to address these externalities, but here we are.

The low voltage side of a transformer needs to handle more current. You could use the same gauge on both sides and get the same voltage, but you'd experience more losses.

Sure, could be simpler, but there's a spec and multiple implementations: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180.html And the spec is ~5 pages.

Not sure why NDJSON is considered simpler, as json objects can be arbitrarily nested. Breaking into records is easier, but parsing is harder.
