World Cup ticket sales have been a disaster.

FIFA held back tickets to create artificial scarcity, launched its own resale platform with a 15% fee for both buyers and sellers, and now there are still 180,000 tickets available for purchase.

Everyone thinks the AI bottleneck is compute. Well...not exactly.

From the A100 to the B200, compute scaled 8x. Memory bandwidth scaled 4x. Capacity only 2.4x.

The gap between what a chip can calculate & what you can actually feed it is the real wall.

I’ve always wondered, why can’t we run CPU’s hotter?

Look at any modern CPU, and the maximum junction temperature (TJMax) is around 95ish C.

Leakage current explodes past that point, and reliability drops off a cliff.

But the question is…couldn’t you make a “tougher” transistor? The answer is…sorta.

The Glenn research center at NASA experiments with silicon carbide wafers. Venus is crazy hot (~470C!). Apparently, NASA has been somewhat successful running a medium-scale IC at 500C for 1 year.

Ozark IC also won a contract to develop a multicore RISC-V cpu intended to operate at 500C, but I haven’t seen updates in a while.

Perhaps an EE can chime in. Is ~95C TJMax just a local optimum that everyone collectively settled on? How much density would you have to give up to run things just a little bit hotter?

I wonder if a special, “low density space H100” could reliably run at say, ~150C, or if that’s completely outside the realm of what’s feasible.

Can you rt this? Maybe we can make a difference

What hardware actually powers open-source AI?

Not benchmarks.
Not vendor marketing.
Real-world community usage.

We’re launching @huggingface Hardware:
→ trending GPUs & CPUs
→ VRAM distribution
→ inference hardware trends
→ what the OSS AI ecosystem really runs on

It is time for the United States Postal Service to ban junk mail.

Unsolicited spam calls are already prohibited by the FCC. Emails are heavily regulated by the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Junk mail is the majority of mail, 100 million trees per year. Enough!

Friend of mine who was an ultramarathoner went for a run and was killed when he was hit by a car.

You need to be careful as a pedestrian or on a bike when near cars, particularly in the US where driving habits are getting worse and worse.
