Education allows you to reason about what you're being told and filter out a lot of the bad stuff. It's not perfect, but it helps you spot egregious "facts" and label the speaker appropriately as untrustworthy.

I think with a lot of these chips geared at AI there's so much variation in how performance is measured you can say things like it beats an H100 inferencing on a specific INT4 model and that might be true. However, it might only hold for that narrow case.

So press releases aren't worth much to me. Show me benchmarks.

I don't see how Huawei could have made that jump. There's a lot of generational knowledge and software development behind Nvidia's chips. No company can become a competitor first time.

I'd have expected overproduction to push the frequency up anyhow.

Pretty much anything over 10,000 employees. You can't really organise that many people in a productive way. Let's face it... You're exploiting something.

Only when you're already in a hospital when the injury happens.

It's known to melt witches in seconds.

Agreed, but the depth of most people's political analysis is "they scare the people currently in power", and that's enough.

It's not stupidity. It's desperation.

It's very much an easy/west split in Germany, and the fact is the east is still feeling the effects of soviet control. What works for the richer west is not working in the same way in the east because the problems are different.

When you're hurting, more of the same isn't a rational option.

Lurking account on a different instance.

Flywheels can give the same momentum.

Whilst we're still fighting those that caused Brexit I think we need to be careful of introducing instability with "in again / out again" policy swings. I think we're best aiming at something which removes barriers but doesn't stir up the anti EU sentiment that still exists.

Alignment, deals, treaties, but not membership.

US isn't the only market. Likely to see price drops in Europe when supply will outstrip demand, but still maintain a better margin that the US.

At least until production rates adjust.

Prices can't go below the cost of production and transport.

A lot of goods are on quite small margins. When the tariffs are bigger than the margin the product becomes uneconomic to ship to the US. This is what you're seeing. There's less demand for shipping because companies have halted shipments to the US.

Fucking politicians. All the same ain't they.

Edit: ...is what they are thinking.

We can work with metals, so we can probably make boilers.

I invent steam power 400 years early.

1 in 10: Not sure

2 in 10: Average 3 in 10: Great

If you all could just try to not take the rest of the planet with you, that'll be great.

...most kids...

Most kids? ⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠⊙⁠)

No, we say "FUCK! It's cold".
