I was thinking the same. People were not happy with even the idea of running a block as an experiment. And now this guy wants to reflect more as nothing more than a party trick, and looks like he is going to start imminently. Next I think we should propose encircling the earth with a giant sphere and people have to pay to get some light. I mean what could possibly go wrong. /s

So traditional tech greenwashing. 300MW is not very much if the DC is 2GW, and really based on the footprint I saw in some articles, I think it could be more than 2GW. So maybe 15%.

I searched and came up empty. Google apparently isn't saying. So if the battery can provide 300MW, but the DC consumes 2GW, I see a shortfall.

No way, this has grok/musk written all over it. They are bro's again, so more pork for leon.

The president also swears by that oath and well how's that been working out? We have now invaded two countries we are not at war with and have no reason to be doing so. Beat Russia now, they only did one.

Musk at the moment is laser focused on SpaceX. The IPO that is. It will be the vehicle to make the first trillionaire on earth. Mission accomplished.

Be great if the orange one died before she gets out. And ironically, it might be an assassination by one of "his" people. The kid that just tried at maro was a disillusioned trumper who was "disturbed" by the epstein info. I think that makes all 3 that tried to whack him ex-trumpers. It really should frighten the orange one, as it is "his" people that are mentally unstable and could go off the deep end over the epstein stuff. No security is perfect, one might succeed.

I got a mailout from the R party here and they were struggling with whether or not to support Paxton in the senate race against cornyn. In the end they reluctantly endorsed cornyn because the paxton infidelity. Weirdly these same types wholeheartedly support trump, the guy who was cheating on his wife while melania was prego. maga's are truly nut jobs.

Popular place, isn't Ghislaine there too?

GF's mom in high school worked nights. Manufacturing. Wrecked havoc on the poor woman. Dad had a day job. I think she had OT on weekends fairly often as well. I think maybe whirlpool if I remember right.

I've been in the chip biz forever. EDA co's are always claiming 10X since the 80's. The thing is, they have gotten way more than 10X, but never the way claimed. What has gotten the impressive gains is not say a layout tool that does manual layout 10X better. What has gotten the gains is P&R and synthesis. But these came with a hidden cost. Density and power. I'm sure many will argue but but but power is way down from the 80's. And I'd agree. But not because of eda. It is because of the fab process. The magic of transistors that are 5nm instead of 1u is amazing. Particularly since the ratio gets squared for trans/area which is what counts. More so that 12 layers of interconnect goes a long way towards p&r squeezing instead of the 2/3 in the 80's.

With that said, what is going to be the catalyst for the AI to provide more for less. Chips are kind of at the end. I don't expect to see transistors scaling down to 1pm(picometer) since 5nm is already at the couple atoms level. And it is clear the power requirements of ai are enormous. And the capital costs have exceeded anyone's wildest dreams. These two things may outweigh any benefit even if it they get the kinks out of the hallucinations.

I've used nix for a very very long time. I am just more comfortable with command line for everything. Constructing search conditions for me is so much easier as a equation than as a gui with fields. The gui usually just cannot comport to what I really want to do. If I wanted to edit the list of files, I'd just pipe the find result into a file and use the file to open the set of files of interest.

I've never used windows beyond trying to help friends who somehow believe a nix guy can help them. I usually cannot. With luck, windows free til the day I die.

Sort of in the same boat. I'm linux exclusive on x86 and arm. The arm for me is limited to many pi's I have for home automation/test equip gpib stuff. I don't think I've ever seen a case where I needed a package that was on x86 but not on arm. The article is probably referring to commercial offerings like adobe. As an example, I don't build for arm for my product, just x86. I've considered it.

All the time:) Find is a great swiss army knife. Unfortunately I do have to refer to the man page to do stuff like restrict the time range. I do use the -name option quite often with either \*.h or \*.c depending on what I am looking for.

I've used nix all my life. One of my favorite sequences is

find . -type f -exec grep foo {} /dev/null \;

Took me awhile to be able to remember that and even aliased it for awhile. Now it is like my right hand.

Science often gets a tweak when new better tools are available. JWST is definitely a better tool. Amazing work.
