@RadeonPRO @DayhoffHealth Great job Dayhoff Team!

[Wesley @WesleyYue]

this smells very bad. none of the claims make sense.

> low voltage hits 80% mfu

high mfu is easy if your peak flops is low

> low voltage solves power bottleneck

bleeding edge wafers is more scarce than power and it doesn't make sense to tape out lower perf chips on these wafers to save power if you want perf/$. the true bottleneck to frontier perf is max flops density to minimize going off die. power is the most fungible elastic commodity on earth

> half voltage = quarter power

presumably:
1. only matmul gates (~60% of die power) at half voltage. half voltage -> ~3x slower -> need ~3x more transistors, and their power leaks scale linearly. ~20% net savings at chip level 2. half voltage -> engineering complexity to fix timing violations + exponentially scaled soft errors (~20x). matmuls will randomly corrupt undetectably from bit flips (and drop model intelligence).

> btc miners run at 3x lower V

btc workload is hashing, so 1) error checking is literally in the problem 2) arithmetic intensity is like infinity so they don't care about packing flops density in single die unlike AI workloads. doesn't make sense to copy

> GPUs get low MFU from thermals

no, they get low MFU from mem bw and non-matmul ops.

> CSM 5x lower latency than Blackwell 4000ns

Blackwell nvswitch is 300ns? unless they are comparing their bare hardware to nvidia hardware + software.

the whole product design tradeoffs don't make any sense from first principles and only makes sense if their initial "transformer asic" had some horrible power issue that they solved by undervolting and they had to respin the whole story for investor marketing.

would love to be proven wrong if anyone from Etched wants to educate me :)

@AlajamFare69811 @grok is this in Cancun or near it? Have there been any Cancun or near it issues?

[Inder Saini @TechFanatic2020]

@WatcherGuru @grok whose tom Lee

[Inder Saini @TechFanatic2020]

@data168 @grok can you give me more info on this and why that is the case?

[Inder Saini @TechFanatic2020]

@allenanalysis @grok is this real? Provide more context

[The Interested One @topicofinterest]

@AlderLaneEggs it's like he's describing a car crash while being in the car as it's spinning out of control.

Arctic Mexico is crashing in real time.

@realDonaldTrump is the offer to become the 51st State still on the table?

@adam3us @metaplanet @grok does this math make sense

[Inder Saini @TechFanatic2020]

@Zmichaels117 @kingtutcap How's the speed difference of FirstNet vs Starlink?
Ping/mbps?
Price difference?

just curious

That’s it. If Pierre Poilievre can pack thousands into a venue in PEI — in what’s been a Liberal riding for 30 years — then I’m sorry, but what’s happening isn’t currently showing up in the polls.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

So far Pierre is:
-repealing bill C69
-15% income tax cut
-capital gains tax cut
-cuts GST on homes (up to $1.3mm)
-defer capital gains if reinvested in Canada
-travel tax breaks for workers
-crime/catch-and-release reforms
-getting rid of annual alcohol tax increases (go back to 2017 levels)
-will build pipelines (repeal bill C69)
-TFSA top up
-deport criminals
-will protect dental & childcare programs
-was responsible for axing the carbon tax

His platform is about wealth creation.

He is running laps around Carney.

We've known about and reported on $ZYXI's Tricare change on Feb 7th. The company even changed the commission structure to de-emphasize Tricare. Why sit on it for so long? Also, all you have to do is look at EMPI to understand what Tricare may be interested in.

@chamath There’s stats out from Moody’s showing top 10% of earners drive 50% of consumer spending in the US up from 36% in 1995, while holding 90% of the assets.

Tariffs will make it worse on lower class.

Not sure what assets they gonna buy if they getting squeezed further.
