Assuming the average GPU costs $10,000, those 600,000 GPUs amount to $6 billion.

First time I've heard of a Federal Circuit Court referred to as a "lower court"

To get nickel-63, one has to bombard nickel-62 with neutrons. What is the efficiency of that relative to lifetime energy output? If it's less than 50%, I don't see it being viable.

First, what counts as plagiarism is whatever the institution decides and the employee agreed to.

But I think Harvard's rule is so strict, when it comes to non-fiction, that I think it slows down science. A fact should be allowed to be repeated verbatim, because attempts to paraphrase said fact inevitably change its meaning.

Twitter’s slide into irrelevance and extremism as it decays into X has hastened the explosive growth of a whole host of newer social networks.

The death of Twitter is greatly exaggerated. While revenue is down to 2014 levels, the number of annual users is growing steadily upward (aside from a plateau 2015-2020). https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/

OK, looks like it's available to rent or "buy" on Amazon Prime Video, but not to purchase the DVD.

That is Kurzweil's solution. His 2017 DVD set Singularity, which describes it, is oddly not listed at Amazon, but it is available on ebay https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=singularity+dvd+2017.

The idea has merit, and it may even be the best idea, but I don't think it will prove sufficient. I'm an AI Doomer. Here's my 11-minute explanation on why from 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk-0nu4fg1w.

What? I thought it was Castle Wolfenstein 3D that ushered in the (continuing) era of FPS. Although I never played it, just seeing it gave me confidence to develop real-time 3D scientific visualization just using the 386.

Even though Wikipedia lists mobile notifications as an application of push notifications https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology#Push_notification, I reject the application of the term. Push technology came about as a mirror to normal web browsing, reversing the intended direction. Thus IMO, "Push" implies some sort of subversion of the protocol, and should not be applied to a mere direction. Phones receiving notifications is an intended part of the protocol; the phone is receiving what it signed up for. There is no "push", no force, involved.

The job won't be done until we each are able to wear a nuclear reactor like a wristwatch and it provides a personal defensive force field.

I pay on SubscribeStar/Patreon to get video podcasts. Does that count as "Pay TV"? Other than that example, it had been 30 years since I paid for TV.

That's a test for ASI, not AGI

The board, including Ilya, handed the $90 billion OpenAI, a non-profit company, to Microsoft, a for-profit company (which had previously touted the advantage of OpenAI being non-profit).

So Asus is now using Generative AI to design motherboards?

Boosters of the Iraq War stuck to their position years later saying the same quote.
