News is what people who do things use to maintain an accurate mental model of the world.

If everything that you know about the world fits in a 2km radius around your house, you aren't doing anything.

Large groups of people all contributing small amounts towards a goal none of them could accomplish on their own is the only way any of those things ever get done.

You can get an H200 (141GB) here for $2,700/mo: https://deploybase.ai/articles/h200-price

I could be wrong but my understanding is that 24/7 dedicated servers are wildly economically unviable. The reason cloud tends to cost less than local today (other than the subsidization) is because you aren't running models 24/7. So like 6 hours of cloud per weekday might beat the yearly cost of building local machines, but it's not in the same universe if you're running 24/7, as evidenced by two months of H200 rental costing more than the DGX Spark this Laptop is built out of.

Is it possible to be cheaper than the DGX Spark? Because that's $4,700. I would think Spark + Laptop would be necessarily more expensive.

Except that's the point. It is the same store. It is two different cashiers. The second one doesn't know you got the ID from the first one, that's why it works. The point is that if a store like that existed, it would be stupid as fuck.

Also, at least in ChatGPT, it has access to every other session, so you're never working with zero context unless you create a new account (and even then they could have other fingerprinting, I just haven't tested it).

Unfortunately not, each version of RAM uses a different physical slot.

Uber lost all of the money all of the original investors gave them, and sold that bag of dog shit to the public. Everyone who bought the IPO lost money.

Amazon was founded in 1994 and turned their first profit in 2001. A better example would be Uber, which ran negative until they had less than one year of runway remaining and then were somehow allowed to scam pedestrians into keeping their unprofitable taxi business solvent.

Here's the other five threads:

It’s already priced in. You’re just paying more for the features you aren’t using.

The way it’s supposed to work is that the government sells bonds and the money goes away. Much like your original premise, it doesn’t much make sense that people think modern monetary policy only thought up quantitative easing and not quantitative tightening.

Can’t speak to how it will end up working, but its definitely not a surprise.

They mean that the corporation is paying for the people downloading 70 terabytes from them.

It's an aggregate of the months you're selecting (2019/04 - 2020/03). If you select just March you can see what they're seeing:

This is something I love about watching business / finance news channels. Everyone is trying as hard as they can not to lie because it's illegal in their context.

I’d go even further: I hope it keeps falling until a better crypto currency is worth more. Bitcoin even existing proves the market is more speculative than functional.

Well no, every system requires people with power to be generally good. No system survives with only bad actors. You’re incorrectly assuming a generous billionaire isn’t a feature of capitalism / democracy.

But they all used to, which means functionally the only difference is now there isn't a link so I have to make an additional request, in a new tab, directly to Wikipedia for more information (Demographics, Economics, Government, etc).

Much of the time I don't see a link to Wikipedia.

If I Google "Malta" there is a paragraph on the right and no link to Wikipedia. This also happens in Google Maps, when you click on a city and they have the blurb, much of the time there is no link, so you have to leave the page to Wikipedia the name of the city.

Actually having just tried a few different queries, it seems to be inconsistent. I'm not sure why they'd show the link sometimes and not every time, but definitely Malta doesn't show a link for me.

Many people listen to audiobooks in situations where they can't watch or play things, like driving or working out.

Australia = 24 million in 296,790 square miles of habitable land.

California = 39 million in 163,696 square miles of total land.

California has twice as many people in an area half the size (not including inhabitable parts of California since half of it is a desert).

It's the opposite. A false sense of security is feeling safe when it isn't safe. In this case, it is safe, but people mistakenly feel unsafe.

The police are providing a real sense of security that both represents the actual security and the peoples' feeling of security.

If a stock dropped 60% you wouldn’t consider “it was very recently 10 times lower” a positive.

1% of people have the mutation[1]. 25 million people are registered to donate bone marrow internationally[2].

That statistically represents 250,000 total cures available worldwide for the 36.7 million HIV sufferers[3]. Not taking into account the other ailments bone marrow transfers cure.

You can just pass it through mixers to anonymize it.

Input 1,000 different peoples coins, output any one of their coins one at a time. There's no way to know whose coins are coming out the other side.

Here's the other thread that is still on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15661314

It's a little off topic, but I was thinking about this while playing a space-fighter simulator; how ridiculous it was that far enough into the future that there'd be combat in space, I'd still be manually controlling the targeting system.

A lot of tv shows and movies have this same problem. It seems no one has accepted the idea that the computers will win out here.
