increasing the number of total heartbeats ... wearing out the heart early

this is a common meme [1]

Do you actually understand why evolution methods are beneficial?

SGD generates a stronger learning signal,is more efficient, and scales better. Using it end-to-end makes it stronger yet.

Yet somehow mixing in a weaker blunt evolution stage improves the result?

this is nice

can the browser connect to a server to offload heavier calculations?

Standard LFP cells - with higher QA and optimized for safety over performance

The pack/container is (over?) designed for fire suppression and humidity control

CATL and also CALB have specific marine-grade product lines

At sea - even at full power - the packs discharge relatively slow

What would u recommend for freight/trucking optimiser? not real time.

(scaling to 100s-1000s of units)

practical voltage for a DC grid using early electrical machinery is around 2 kV.

What is a current (pun!) practical limit?

If a 100MW PV farm and a data center are separated by 1km (20 Olympic pools) - is there a way to avoid AC?

I know there are future solutions [1]

Israel has both universal healthcare and tuition free university

This is both wrong and off topic.

Israel health care is funded by a 5% additional income tax tier. non working people pay a significant fixed annual fee.

University is not free. $5K for the public institutions - which have limited admissions. $10K for many of the spill over private institutions.

Now - about those space lasers ....

$85k and closed our account

This seems excessive. Unfortunately OP does state how many disputes they had.

Why would an operator now withdraw the monthly/weekly cash balance?

fully local home security system

R u running the GPU at full throttle 24x7? Have you encounters silicon failures over time?

for longturn games (23-hour turns)

Why 23 hours? Is this a typo?

great write up (and effort!! ;))

what are your thoughts on MCTS for coding?

this can/must be paired with a smart execution harness to optimise roll out and roll back of execution paths and system state.

does this change the calculus for optimal post-training ?

Was Karpathy "fired" from Tesla because he could not make camera only work ?

Or did he "resign" since Elon insists on camera-only and Karpathy says i cant do it?

MiniMax first in my AI workflows, GLM for code tasks and Kimi K2.5

Its good to have these models to keep the frontier labs honest! Can i ask if you use the API or a monthly plan? Do the monthly plan throttle/reset ?

edit: i agree that MM2.1 most economic, and K2.5 generally the strongest

I have a spring/react jar.

Previously I built a jar/docker and deployed to a common server. Fine.

Can this service deploy this to AWS free tier? Will it "know" how to avoid any paid services? (I don't necessarily need a docker or even permanent storage yet)

EDIT: Also - charging a % of AWS bill is pretty wild...

The irony, Mrs Morissette, is that Nova caused the battery to appear to fail, and would drain the battery still on a new phone

my battery is no longer draining for no apparent reason

Oh man. I just replaced the battery on my 5 year phone - for the sole reason of not having to reconfigure Nova on a new phone :\

there plenty of published preflop charts and GTO ranges

in fact, a fun project would be take a non-reasoning model, play on a lesser known game format, and see if it learns an "a ha" moment or explicitly simulate moves ahead

Do you still get deals from angellist (your angel.co link now leads the HR Site)?

The angellist site itself seems to hide the startup/pitch side

food waste from various stores brought to a facility to be fed to insects

a. how does that solve the transmission problem?

b. amazing work by EU bureaucrats to regulate businesses that dont exist yet

c. they can export the feed to fish farms or china or whatever. the question is do the economics work. US soy bean is just incredibly productive (and subsidized)

This is less about masked modelling and more about reverse-curriculum.

e.g. DeepCubeA 2019 (!) paper to solve Rubik cube.

Start with solved state and teach the network successively harder states. This is so "obvious" and "unhelpful in real domains" that perhaps they havent heard of this paper.

can you spare 5 minutes for a quick email/chat about bidding/campaigns?

its rare to find a technically proficient media buyer ;/

(I am not a FB employee or a lawyer.. ) I will send you a DM on twitter

The original report by Ember [1] is decent but clearly biased.

They assume each battery cycles entirely EVERY day - even in winter. They also assume PV is never curtailed - not even in summer. They of course ignore multi-day weather anomalies. Like wise for weekend/holiday demand variations. etc.

The best part of the report are real world bids of 2025 ESS projects.

FC size is 5-10K orders/day, maybe up to 20K/day in certain cases, but the core technology should certainly scale down profitably to 3-5K.

deja-vu from the e-scooter business. even with a good product, its just not profitable/scalable enough

what is the feasibility/crazyness level of "llm porting" the javac source code to c++ ?

setting copyright issues aside, javac is a pretty clean textual-input-output program, and It can probably be reduced to a single thread variant

Only 2000 GPU hours Heavily customized network 95% win rate in recent human tournament sample Several training techniques for evaluation/learning rate

I’m Joseph, and along with Arpan and Bailey we are the founders of OutSail Shipping. We’re building a sail the size of a 747 that rolls up into a shipping container.

Whatever happened to the BYD Sodium ESS [1]? By 2024 they were already taking orders and building a something-something giga-actory

Fingers crossed for both CATL and BYD

also good at larger scale structural macro-optimization

Can u give some examples?

Perhaps you mean small granular choices which occur widely throughout the code?

I played online professionally for the year leading up to the big online shutdown

Are today's online tables simply impossible to win? (bots, collusion)

Or are players simply too evenly matched and the house rake/fees kills you anyway?

TAM of ~$38B, and ~$150B for the entire US.

Sigh. No. Actual TAM is $0 which is why these wells are orphaned

For contrast, maritime shipping IMO (my current obsession) has set a $100-$400 carbon price. So now the efuel market a realistic $10B ZNZ pot to aim at.
