The city of San Francisco: "...prohibit use of lithium-ion batteries assembled or reconditioned using cells removed from used batteries..."
Me, who does not respect the law:
@fcvprzhfgsybj@zettascale Reconfigurable dataflow is optimizing the wrong layer. For inference the ceiling was never the ALUs or the per-model mapping. It's the interconnect, and whether its topology matches the reduction pattern.
There are two planes orbiting downtown SF today, each towing banners for some AI startup you haven't heard of, and can't read on the banners. Two! Two banner planes!
The Franzia box wine banner is in shambles.
If I have infinite AI credits from work, why *shouldn't* I make "Woke Oregon Trail" where there's the option to be a black freeman, travel to Oregon, then be kicked out because of the Oregon Exclusion Law and have to travel back to Missouri?
I had a consultant email me wanting to have a chat about this product.
"This is four Nvidia 6000 Blackwells next to a random person's house. This is $100k of hardware. If I had this hardware now, I could sell these on Craigslist by Friday.
I own bolt cutters."
Nvidia will now pay you to put a mini AI data center on your house
It looks like a normal AC unit in the yard.
But inside sits 16 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs and Dell servers.
A startup called Span builds them, backed by Nvidia.
They bolt onto your home and you get paid for the power and Wi-Fi.
Some estimates put that around $1,000 a month in your pocket.
That is rent money just for hosting a box outside.
Span says it deploys way faster and cheaper than a real data center.
The AI boom is literally moving into the suburbs.
Save this, the grid is getting rebuilt in real time.
Alright, I've been _around_. I read the ads in issues of Wired around William Gibson articles.
I can't recall ~the language something is written in~ being a selling point for a piece of software.
Maybe Java, in 1996. Same with Delphi. But Rust? Holy shit it's written in Rust.
In our surveys, we consistently see that the *only* group Republicans aren't collapsing with is white, college-educated voters. In fact, in several of them, Republicans outrun Trump's 2024 vote share! So it means super white states (NE/NH/ME/WI) probably see less of a shift left
the AI that reviews the PRs is freaking out on the AI that wrote the code because it doesn't match the teams coding style like bro just merge it bro no human will ever gaze upon this land bro
We updated our style for telephone numbers in 2024 to drop parentheses.
We now recommend the form: 212-621-1500.
For international numbers use 011 (from the United States), the country code, the city code and the telephone number: 011-44-20-7535-1515.
Use hyphens, not periods. No parentheses.
The form for toll-free numbers: 800-111-1000.
If extension numbers are needed, use a comma to separate the main number from the extension: 212-621-1500, Ext. 2.
We gave an AI a 3-year retail lease in SF and asked it to make a profit.
The AI interviewed and hired full-time employees, applied for credit, and stocked the store with the books Superintelligence and Making of the Atomic Bomb.
