That is statistically impossible in a bit flip scenario.
You couldn't do it in a googol ages of the universe.

486! hah!
The avionics package on the orbiter in fact consisted of 8086s. You may be thinking about Hubble.

In our datacenters, our per-server MCE anomalies are, averaged, ~0.2/yr, across ~150 servers.
We're at sea level, and in datacenters with lots of shit on the roof, so maybe we're doing a little better than someone's house, but 1/week is 100% not the FSM fucking with your bits. That's memory or bus timings or voltage on the razor's edge or something.

Na, that's a problem in the bus or the memory.
We have hundreds of servers and don't see that kind of MCE log frequency across all of them combined lol

My concern is that the companies that bought them to run LLMs will become miners themselves to try to recoup some of the costs.

RWNJ is Slashdot's Tucker Carlson. Educated, erudite, pretending not to know things in order to justify the worst possible conclusions. I wonder if he wears a stupid bow tie.

Yeah, you've nailed this. This part of TFS made me laugh:

"This is so cool to me to have the opportunity to be at the forefront of this," one 18-year-old told the New York Times.

LLMs aren't new any more, given how fast the computing industry moves in general, though they are still the hot thing. This kid is nowhere near the forefront in any way. This is just the latest development in a field that's as old as computing.

It's still relevant. In particular it's how you get around restrictions.

Released earlier this year but if anyone has yet to see it this video is really fantastic at breaking down how this came about and why it feels so weird and unfunny, even to the audience they're trying to reach.

If they did that it would increase emissions a lot. They also have already tried to do that but courts ruled that a) California could still have its own emissions standards because California invented emissions standards as far as the US is concerned and b) other states which previously chose to follow California's emissions standards before the US had them can continue to follow California's.

Of course there's no guarantee that the conservative-owned SCOTUS won't change that again.

The standards for operation of commercial trucks, busses etc. are already set by the federal government. States implement them but are not in charge of them, except for filling in the blanks left by incompetent and inadequate federal law as usual. Maybe you should educate yourself about the status quo before agitating for changes to it.

Also Honda, and GM was also well invested at one point, but they seem to have given up on it.

Every battery company of note has proprietary electrolyte. The differences between one battery chemistry and another can be significant.

Most of them are using Chinese batteries.

It's not simple to figure out what you're talking about, a search doesn't return anything obvious through the flurry of marketing content.

It applies to every CAN standard? There's like five of them.

Since after the 1990s, you mean? While there were a few CAN vehicles in the 1990s, it didn't really become popular until the 2000s because the interface chips were still relatively expensive.

Most of them aren't video cards as they don't have video output. A DAC and ports cost money that you don't need to spend to run LLMs. The other uses for these cards are mostly scientific, and there's not enough money in that to justify owning them. Perhaps the AI bubble crashing will lead to a push towards some kind of crypto still efficiently mined with GPGPUs. Eew.

Larry Ellison Is a ‘Shadow President’ in Donald Trump’s America

Yes, and they suck now.

Generally agreed. They are also slow in common real-world driving scenarios, e.g. on twisty roads. You can't ride them at 10/10 in case you find a little patch of sand or oil as you will then die. I have been stuck behind sportbikes and superbikes in a 240SX with a stock motor a bunch of times, the motorcycles probably have 4 times the power to weight ratio but not enough traction. Also if you lose the front tire at speed you will likely die.

Aptera wants to create commuting vehicles that will be in the crush of traffic going 70+, and can lose pressure in just one tire and end up with just two left which don't naturally track straight. It's an insane proposition right on the face of it.
