@BrianRoemmele @grok what happens when a NVFP4 model is run on Apple silicon? Is the advantage retained, or are the weights just converted back up to full precision, meaning you only save disk space?

@grok @JamesB684 @ZiaYusufUK How can a resistive heater be anything other than 100% efficient?

[Jeremy Sonander @JeremySonander]

@sciencegirl Seems great way to avoid herbicides and other toxic chemicals on our food. @grok, is this commercially available? How practical this is approach? There will be cost and power constraints, lasers need to be kept clean which might be a challenge on farm machinery.

@aakashgupta @grok are the main data points here: i55 direct reports, equal compensation, 3-4 layers of hierarchy known to be true for Nvidia?

@MelJStride @grok does this affect private pensions?

[Jeremy Sonander @JeremySonander]

@nikitabier @BillyM2k Why not run the grok Is this true? test by default on all posts and display the false ones differently in some way?

@grtr_than_equal @czarekjachowski I wondered this too. Is the PI there for Android Auto, or is it also the controller unit necessary to enable FSD.

@energygovuk Wow, first time I have seen this government doing something sensible!

Bitcoin miners inbound? Companies storing the free power and exporting later. Loads of opportunities here.

This is great because we want a heat pump, and are waiting for the grant to go away to get one fitted.

We have tried talking to Octopus and Aria and got the same story, the T&C of the grant requires that some approved heat loss model confirm that the heat pump can heat the house on its own, and defines the minimum size for the pump. For our house that requires some huge double width twin fan thing rated at 13kw, that will almost never need its full capacity according to our heat loss models and experiments dropping the gas boiler temp.
We want to go with an 8kw unit for a more common cold day and on the exceptionally cold days light the wood burner. The grant doesn't permit that approach, and so the installers are not open to considering it either.
I am hope that when the grant and its market distortions are gone, and the customer is paying the tab, the customer will be back choosing what gets installed.

@grok @ThatRothGuy @curiosityonx Err @grok, feeling alright there? Your answer disagrees with its self. Trusting your numbers and checking your summary, 3 x Everest at 5.5 each is 16.5, higher than Olympus Mons. Stack three Everests and far from being a bit short, you over did it by 2.9 miles.

[Jeremy Sonander @JeremySonander]

I think the transfers should continue until the original promise of full self driving is achieved, so the customer finally gets delivered the dream they bought into. Then its over. It was clear from the beginning that the FSD feature went with the car when you sold it.
I speak as a Tesla shareholder and someone who bought FSD in 2022 in the UK.

@KatieMiller @grok And yet this is what happens when I ask the same question. Yes/No instruction ignored, fence throughly sat on.

[Jeremy Sonander @JeremySonander]

The physics we know can account for 5% of the mass needed to make the universe behave as it does. So either our understanding of gravity completely wrong, or we have only figured out how to detect 5% of the universe.

Come back with this type of certainty when we can at least explain the faction of the universe we can see from this planet. Perhaps then we can start to speculate about what life might be able to do in the rest of it.

[Jeremy Sonander @JeremySonander]

If you reallocate that £1,400 in rent on mortgage interest at 3.5% you can borrow £480,000 and buy a house. At least now the money isn’t a total loss, the house will likely gain value with time. And while it’s ugly for a while, future pay rises will leave you with a surplus to gradually clear the debt, after which life is good.

Problem is banks wont lend you so much because interest rates could rise. You need an employed partner or a cheaper house, ideally both. £480,000 round here is a 4 bedroom new build.

[Jeremy Sonander @JeremySonander]

You don't state which side you were fighting for, and everyone here is jumping to the conclusion that it was on the side of democracy.

Given there were Lib Dem councils, eg Cheltenham, deciding to cancel the May elections, and your second sentence is all about opposing reform, I am wondering if the Lib Dems were fighting on the same side as Labor on this one?

@GimmySpoor73 @daniel_adinnu @Houseofyogi @grok @grok how accurate are these analogies a description of how the unrealised profit law in the Netherlands will work?

[Jeremy Sonander @JeremySonander]

@grok Excited that the feature has now turned up here in the UK. First question, what is the best way of ending a conversation with you in the car? If I short press the right hand wheel, it ends the conversation, but starts the car is listening for a command. If I say “stop” it cancels the navigation. If I say bye grok sometimes it works, sometimes that just sets you off talking about rock music. Guessing thats Rock with a capital G.

@RachelD1892 This sketch now playing out for real https://t.co/QGyLCVD1XG

@Teslarati I expect it to happen, but at a time the consumers determine by voting with their cash. Tesla will stop selling cars when mobility as a service has got good enough that most consumers no longer want to bother owning their own vehicle.

[Jeremy Sonander @JeremySonander]

I hear this a lot so always bought old houses. Recently my parents were the first owners of a Redrow new build, and I was amazed at the build quality. Well insulated, no drafts, no leaks, upstairs heating hardly ever comes on, ground floor heated under floor. A really well thought out and comfortable place to live. I went systematically through the house to build snagging list and all but one of the faults (mostly wiring errors) were fixed before my parents moved in. The remaining fault Redrow fixed shortly after. A year later they only needed the builders back for once thing and that was one day when we had biblical amount of rain, some water got into their heat pump and tripped a breaker. That’s now corrected.

Meanwhile we live in a 1920s house in Letchworth where the Heritage Foundation does not allow external insulation, its not practical to insulate internally without moving staircases and door ways, and so we need to run a noisy dehumidifier continually in winter to stop condensation and mould forming on the cold solid walls.

I am not associated with Redrow in any way. Just wanted others to benefit from this experience. From what I see its old properties that are the build quality disasters, and planning restrictions may prevent you from doing anything to fix it.
