Weights are not burnt into silicon per-model. They're in SRAM/HBM. There's some more info on the website (etched.com) and we'll be sharing more details about model benchmarks this summer.
My first thought was that this was built someone who clearly cared about the system they were running.
"The Productivity Paradox" is what they called it when people were skeptical that computer would end up finding a place in the office. There are articles from the 90s complaining about how much people are spending on buying computers for no real impact on productivity https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/163298.163309
They found that ~15% of US adults under 30 claim to have been trained to operate a nuclear submarine.

Obviously Gemini doesn't know that "music truck" is another name for "ice cream truck", but more concerningly, the illustrations it made for the trucks were this kind of eldritch amalgamation of Cars-movie style cars and people driving cars. The story was just OK, I don't think it would have kept my toddler's attention for the whole ten pages. Plus, the mailman is barely involved.
And it shows up in some old BSD code: https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2017-04-17-xxx-fixme/
But... I think repeated letters are just easier to type than any other string, and since X looks like the classic "marks the spot" logo, it's what people jump to.
Small PRs help, but I often end up just opening a handful of windows to have everything open at once.

There, one of the things they mentioned was that they were hoping that RISC-V in general, and their cores in particular, becomes a platform for academic research. That way, cutting-edge things are shared in the open and the industry benefits globally.
The optimistic view of this is that it's hoping for a better future for all. The cynical view is that open source is much harder to sanction/export control. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
The margins of error on online opt-in polls are massive.
The DOJ has a high conviction rate, at 93%, but Federal cases are the minority of cases in the USA. Most cases are state-level, and the conviction rates vary pretty significantly (E.g., California has a conviction rate of ~65% for property crime: Table 6 of https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/lr-2019-JC-disposition-o... )
Skimming the Github repo, looks like this uses rt64 under the hood for the raytracing support ( https://github.com/rt64/rt64 ), and that uses the ubershader technique to emulate the GPU. This excellent article talks about the what, why, and insanity that are ubershaders: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2017/07/30/ubershaders/
