Still, you got it wrong, because the curve around 100 is flat, and given that the IQ is rounded to a whole number, a significant part of the population has an IQ of 100 (or 99.5 to 100.5). Thatâs what the curve vs. triangle was aimed at. Add to the fact that individual results can vary a lot, depending on the exact Series and the current State of mind of the one tested, results between 95 and 105 are well within the IQ-100 group.

Well I'm happy paying a lot more than I do now. My productivity is rocketing, so as a freelancer it pays for itself ten times over.

The USA has introduced two new problems every time they tried to fix one by being ignorant murderers.

Vietnam firmly entrenched the horrible NV maoists in power.
Irak created ISIS.
Al-Qaeda was another one, born out of US interference in the Middle East.
I'll admit that Hamas and Hezbollah were the result of Israels actions and even outright support in the case of Hamas, but that was underpinned by the USA.
Afghanistan? Do I even need to say anything?
Iran being controlled by Khomeini was the direct result of murdering the democratically elected leader and installing a dictator.

Don't even get me started on South America. Those people crossing your border in the South are the direct result of the USA installing dictators and reducing the people to poverty.

There is no high ground to find for the USA. They only create problems. They've never solved one.

Two orders of magnitude less copper. The stacked modules aren't complex enough to make a dent in existing PCB/pick&place/component market.

Complex to engineer, but the complexity in implementation is miniaturised and mass manufacturable.

Thatâs not an independent thinker. Thatâ(TM)s someone who routinely doubts everything. But as Henri Poincaré already observed more than 100 years ago: To doubt everything and to believe everything are considered two equally convenient strategies, both of which relieve us of the necessity of thinking or reflection. (And I know, a witty saying proves nothing.)

Everytime I run the output through the Test test suite.

With AI, it is now easier than ever to demonstrate why you should not rely on basically "digital hearsay".

If you have to wait years for transformers, this creates a huge market for electronic converters for high and medium voltage AC. Their production can be ramped up much faster. The problems in designing such electronic transformers is not much different from HVDCHVAC converters, it's obviously possible to do it reliably.

I completely agree with this. My state was all about banning ICE vehicles and gas stoves and furnaces in about a decade...but had very few plans to handle the terawatt capacity requirements...and this was *before* datacenters got a seat at the table.

I'm...not quite sure I agree with this one as much...

This...I think, has some wiggle room. Sure, training new models requires greater amounts of compute power, and as newer models and services develop, there will be a need to increase compute power. However, that doesn't mean that older models are useless. They may not be front-and-center, but they can still be used in lesser capacities. ChatGPT 3.5 isn't quite as awesome as v5, but if it's what is used to serve up ads in ChatGPT sessions, the hardware is still perfectly fit-for-purpose. Same goes for Google or Microsoft - older boards may not be front-and-center, but they can still do boring, smaller-scope tasks that are still useful.

...we can only hope.......

It's even more complicated. German law treats the grid as "copper plate", and ignores all regional differences. If a wind park in Northern Germany offers electricity for 8 ct/kWh, then a consumer in Southern Germany is allowed to buy that power and is entitled to get it delivered via the grid. And if the grid can't handle the load because of weak interconnectivity, then a gas turbine in Southern Germany will start and generate the power for 18 ct/kWh, but the consumer only pays 8 ct. The 10 ct/kWh difference is paid by all consumers with higher energy prices.

For Southern Germany, this is quite the deal, because they can now operate expensive gas turbines, and get them subsidized at least in part by electricity consumers in Northern Germany with higher energy prices, while the cheap energy generated in Northern Germany is switched off, as the energy on the books is sold already, but the electricity is generated somewhere else. But because Southern states profiteer from the situation right now, there is much resistance to changes in the law, which would make energy in the South more expensive, while Northern states would get a relief.

Dual ISA? The z processors (z13 right now) were multi-ISA from the very beginning. You can load them with different microcodes, and they will turn into different processors, CP, zIIP, zAAP, IFL...

IBM sold off their massively cheap commodity stuff long ago. The eServer series are now Lenovo, like the laptop business.

Look, they JUST finished their migration away from Lotus Notes...

My point is that all the big models are pretrained on any decent open source project to begin with. That other LLM too.

Of course you can argue that. You can argue that huffing coal makes your lungs grow stronger as well.

You do you. But at this point we all know that that's just shilling for the oil companies.
