Inches are 2.2" per inch and CM are also over 2 CM in length, almost an inch, just short.

But hey, even CMs are wrong and wonderfully explained in this short - enjoy https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Z2LLcVM2ih4

Well MemoryX compared to H100 HBM3 the key details are that MemoryX has lower latency, but also far lower bandwidth. However the memory on Cerebras is scales a lot more over NVidia. You need a cluster of H100's to create a model, as only way to scale the memory, Cerbras is more suited to that aspect, Nvidia do their scaling in tooling, with Cerbras doing theirs in design via there silicon approach.

That's my take on it all, not many apples to oranges comparisons to work from on these two system for even rolling down the same slope.

Marketing and hype have, as they would say `synergised` in recent decades under new media. Which sadly distracts from the analysis of companies, which is why valuation of companies is more based on PR over assets. I would go as far as calling it hypedinflation, as all that money that ends up in the market, comes from consumers in the end.

So saying AI is the biggest threat to the S&P is glossing over the root causes. Analysts, getting sucked into the marketing hype, are self-fulfilling in that some people go on their recommendations. After all, in the past if a bank was questioned about how stable it is, could easily see a domino of withdrawals that snowballs into actualy becomming unstable, even if it wasn't before.

I found myself picking a row and focusing on the letters, though one stand out. Would have preferred it to be vertical scrolling down over left to right. Maybe add options to pick the scrolling, or is that an aspect of later levels?

A few things that this made me think about:

1) If only there was a cryptocurrency tied to training AI models and make crypto grinding useful than maths that solve no real-world problem external to the token creation itself.

2) Larger and larger AI models, you start to get more hallucinations, maybe we should focus on dedicated highly tuned models for dedicated aspects and have a higher up conductor model that knows what to farm out to which models and from there combine and send out further requests to other models etc to come to a result. Certainly, the need for highly tuned niche models, after all, language recognition as an example, a model that could identify the language, local dialect and accent, that would then use a language model tuned better for that speaker it is recognising. That approach feels like the way over one large model that does it all itself.

Ones you can replace the storage with a screwdriver are a safe risk, the soldering upgrades are a void warranty and something you are always best getting somebody who can do it in their sleep to do for you. Soldering is not as easy as it used to be, even the pros will not have 100% success and need to reflow or rework.

Store a local copy offsite with a friends or relative you visit regularly(encrypted). One fire and all your local copies gone otherwise.

As well as underappreciated.

Communication—the ability to convey ideas clearly but with tact and elegance—is a skill independent of IQ or creativity. Even highly intelligent and creative individuals can struggle with it.

However, AI, when used correctly, can refine and enhance expression, making communication more effective and polished. It serves as a powerful tool for articulating thoughts with greater clarity and sophistication. Mastering the art of AI-assisted communication, including its techniques and potential pitfalls, could undoubtedly be the subject of a valuable and insightful book for all spectrums of humanity.

Was on about Autistic people being able to use it to understand the other person, not the other way around, which would be a nightmare for them, which sadly is what they get in real life anyhow already. Though might be useful to warn them that they are sending the wrong signals, so a mixed bag on that way around.

I would imagine that such a tool to infer emotional states would be most useful for autistic people who are as I can attest, somewhat handicapped upon that front. Maybe that will get challenged as disability discrimination by some Autistic group. Which would be interesting. As with most things, there are rules, and exceptions to those rules - no shoe fits everyone, though forcing people to wear the wrong shoe size, can do more harm than good.

Exactly- trickle-down economics does not work, it's trickle-up that was the overlooked and needed solution.

Universal basic income, known as UBI is one tool to enable this. Removed inequality and equally, restores dignity and makes benefits and the lambasting and disdain of those in that position a thing of the past.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-46960532 is worth a read, there are few videos that I shall try to dig out that covers matters in far more depth

Basically, the CFA got locked into the Euro currency when France joined it penalised African countries (former French colonies) into it as the CFA was pegged to the French Franc. This made those former colonies crippled by exports to anywhere apart from France who with the CFA setup that those African countries having to store 50% of their currency reserves with France at a 0.75% interest rate. Combined with the subsequent Euro pegging, that alone penalised those former African colonies with the CFA. Equally, they gained nothing from France joining the Euro and lots more pain.

This may provide interesting reading for many, as it was prior to the referendum of independence from the EU (which was painted as BREXIT by the EU)

https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/3534-will-britain-vot...

Born in the 1960s, I remember when the UK joined a trade bloc. Decades later, during the Brexit referendum, the "think of the children" argument was heavily pushed by the Remain campaign. Yet, as someone who grew up within the trade bloc and later the EU, I recall that we had no say on the Maastricht Treaty—while other countries did, with some even being told to vote again.

I also remember the Liberal Democrats advocating for a referendum on EU membership from the early 2000s onward. However, when the vote finally happened, the level of vitriol and disdain the party directed at Leave voters completely changed my perception of what "liberal" and "democratic" truly mean. Their stance no longer aligned with those ideals.

Corporate lobbying has a significant impact on EU policy, often overshadowing the interests of its citizens. The EU’s influence is a mix of positives, negatives, and deeply concerning interventions. One striking example was when the entire EU was forced to pay higher prices for imported solar panels to protect a single German company. Another was the rushed adoption of CFL lighting just before LED technology became viable—CFLs contain mercury, posing a serious health hazard if broken, and many have likely ended up polluting landfills.

While I support the idealistic vision of a united Europe, many well-intentioned policies have been poorly thought out, leading to unintended consequences. The depopulation of many towns and villages across Europe due to youth migration is a direct result of EU-driven policies, yet little thought was given to the broader impact.

The UK sought EU reforms, but when those were denied, a referendum became inevitable. Many who voted Leave did so because the trade bloc they originally joined had evolved into something they no longer recognized. For decades, key decisions were made without direct input from the British people. It's no surprise that those who had once voted to join felt compelled to vote to leave. Yet, the mainstream media labeled them as racists, disregarding the complexity of their concerns.

Beyond the UK's experience, France’s actions in African countries when it adopted the Euro are worth investigating—they reveal a shocking side of EU monetary policy. Meanwhile, Germany, whose strong currency transitioned smoothly into the Euro, benefited enormously—often at the expense of struggling nations like Greece and Italy, which found themselves locked into an economic framework that served German interests far more than their own.

Saddest part is, France blocked any reforms until the UK had left the EU, and had they only engaged back then and made some reforms, the UK could have justified a new vote on the EU, with a more informed opinion. That in itself is a tradegy, but then the UK being physically seperated from Europe, has always seen many cultures and approached, not as aligned as the Europe and subsequently the EU as a whole, which beyond cheap holidays, duty free, not many really embraced the EU as a whole and vice versa.

Last year, it was Russian bots; this year, it's Chinese bots. So much debate gets dismissed under these labels, shutting down common sense. Of course, such bots exist—but so do American ones, and, in reality, every country and even corporations deploy them in some form.

Sometimes, I wonder what could truly unite the world. Sadly, it often seems like only a global catastrophe—something as extreme as an alien invasion—could bring humanity together. Religion, politics, and countless other factions keep us divided. Even race, which should be a meaningless distinction, has been weaponized. I've always believed we are one race—the human race—but at times, it feels like we've drifted so far from that truth. When you take a step back and see the whole picture, it's enough to make anyone with a heart just sit down and weep.

That would be a smoking gun and add credibility to this. However, with hindsight—and especially if you had inside or advanced knowledge of something groundbreaking—it would be obvious to capitalize on it in some way, as long as it didn't violate stock market trading standards.

For example, if a company developed a revolutionary drug that would disrupt an entire market and weaken competitors, purchasing options against those competitors wouldn’t constitute insider trading or breach stock market regulations, as I understand it. However, buying shares in the company itself based on that inside knowledge would.

It depends on how granular and selective it is, or how it is framed.

Could leverage that at any company that gets a government grant or assistance which has a marketing department. Heck could say MAGA is astroturfing and even GPT would agree if you ask ("Is MAGA astroturfing?") it that (yet ask the same question of DeepSeek and the response is less clear-cut, that it feels more unbiased, so that I recommend trying for yourselves), but then politics is very much deep into that on all party politics in many countries.

A country taking pride in a major AI breakthrough, with people celebrating the achievement, is now being framed as a deliberate attack on the U.S. stock market. If we're being fair and impartial, that feels like sour grapes.

The reality is that stock market values are shaped by large companies operating in dynamic, cutting-edge fields. Any significant advancement in those fields will naturally impact shares.

For example, if a photonic-based CPU were released tomorrow, it would affect companies like AMD, Intel, and ARM—just the way markets work. History is full of similar disruptions, from pharmaceutical breakthroughs reshaping the drug industry to the rise of electric vehicles. Tesla’s emergence didn’t exactly boost traditional car manufacturers, but that was widely accepted because it was an American company.

Market disruption happens more often than people realize. The difference here is that AI has been heavily hyped, leading to inflated stock values. When a field like this is so dominant, any leap forward—especially from a competitor—will inevitably have an impact. If investors put too many eggs in one basket, volatility is to be expected.

Ultimately, China achieved something impressive despite adversity. Instead of blaming them for their progress or for sharing their advancements with the world, we should applaud it. Spinning this into a conspiracy misses the point. If anything, the real issue lies in the hype-driven nature of the AI market itself.

As they say—diversity solves many things, stock markets included, though I'm sure in the days/weeks/months ahead - I expect a campaign of Deepseek is just wanting to capture people's data with it for the Chinese government and others more sinister allegations, though I'm sure China could claim the same from GPT and the like just as equally. Still, we never hear about that.

Smitty didn't get in the way of scripting, you could just craft up what you wanted and was F9 iirc you could press and see your options all as they would execute in the command line. So could just go thru smitty to set what you wanted and instead of running it, just crib the command line sequence and pop into your script without even having to learn AIX nuances.

This could be interesting, though it became less so after they dropped Vista in my experience. Currently, people can upgrade to Windows 10 or 11 for free. The main issue for many, however, is that Windows 11 only supports certain CPUs. As a result, many users with systems powerful enough for the games they play on their system that are already beyond the required specs will see themselves forced into an upgrade they would not otherwise need, want, and perhaps afford.

Wow, it's so worth watching just for a laugh.

The amount of awareness and integration with its revenue streams makes it a loss leader. It equally helps tie people into that ecosystem. So it's an underrated appreciated marketing budget more than a loss.

Now they can and should have added functionality(worthwhile pay for add ons) earlier and then, Alexa does have some basic flaws in dialogue, like try and ask it for the wind direction without being subjected to a weather forecast that tells you everything but the wind direction. Then the pet peeves for example - Ask for the time, you get the time, and you politely say thank you, to which Alexa responds "Anytime".

But with the processing done at a backend, they do have an opportunity via ease of access and user-base to jump into the AI personal assistant race, if they price it right. Which is what seems afoot, though the price will be key here.

Having worked on the Honeywell DPS8 range I'm so bookmarking. Software and sourcing may be an issue, but just to play with GCOS again be nostalgic.

Yes, if you just want to record shadow puppets.

2 hours into the post, nobody else noticed it is dated 2025, so what am I missing?

Given Elons lawsuit, how would this impact that is a wonder?

Is it a way to solidly say that Sam had no real say with authority so anything he and Elon agreed was not binding to the company and formally acknowledging that by this action?

With the gravity of the moon, and tectonics. It will be interesting to see what insights this will reveal. That all gets down to how frequently they sample areas. If anything, the gravitational impact on the planet beyond waves would be useful for augmenting seismic measurements/events.

Perhaps NVIDIA or somebody could invent a RAM upgrade via NVLINK? Seems plausible and not every problem would want to add another GPU when the ability to add the extra memory alone is all they need.

"Compliance-wise, it passed 97% of COBOL 85 conformance tests, a success rate not yet achieved by proprietary vendors, Sobisch boasted."

Thinking about that if you step back is amazing, to think a standard written in 1985 (I was doing COBOL back then into the 90s) has yet, even today not had any of the big names/players meet full compliance nearly 40 years later.

I'd love to read more about that aspect
