Australia has a fake residential electricity market, until this year they had to directly offset electricity bills.
This year is the only year that prices have gone down.
For me it’s about the waste. Engineers have taken the time to build a screen into the car with a good viewing angle, that works well with glare, doesn’t obstruct the drivers view.
Then the software side just makes the whole thing useless with a terrible UX that will never be updated.
CarPlay is a great solution because the non safety critical stuff (music, navigation) gets offloaded to a competent software company.
When you include the thermic effect of food protein is closer to 3 calories per gram. Ie it burns about a calorie to digest a gram of protein

Definitely not going to be leasing it at a loss. GPU's are sold out, Anthropic will be paying a significant premium.
The problem with all these skill frameworks is when you are deep enough into AI coding to write one - your brain just cannot handle actually putting effort into it. These are all written by AI, and the authors skim read them.
It’s better to do the maybe 2 hours of human effort the authors put into them yourself for your own workflow.
Does not seem that complicated. OpenAI basically had to do a lock-in deal with Microsoft/Azure at the time, and they pioneered this circular funding hyperscaler deal structure so there were some rough edges.
Anthropic (all ex Open AI) knew the negatives of the deal, so they made a slightly better deal with AWS, not a full lock in. They also grounded it in hardware from the start, ie. being the flagship customer for Trainium, the flagship customer for external usage of TPU's.
This feels a bit overdone. OpenAI has had problems with every compute partner they've ever had. It's just not a solvable problem, who would they go to to allegedly get next-gen chips quicker?
Definitely not true. Meta is building tents for GPU's
Channel 5 did a good piece on "Tranq" which lets China skip the Mexican part of the supply chain as they can mail the finish product straight to the US.
Since the article suggests there must have been a change in china to cause this it seems likely they just moved from fentanyl to tranq.

I would assume this is a very well paid position, and with basically nothing to do.
The state government already failed with Feeding our Future and nothing has changed. The judge who "suggested" the payment of 250m is still serving his term, Jacob Frey (who's aide was indicted as part of it) is still in office, despite a literal vote rigging attempt to primary him.
This should be handled at the federal level, even just to reduce the chances of another jury bribe attempt!
There is plenty of fraud to go around but most of it is sophisticated and distributed (ie. lots of individual fraudulent PPP loans from somewhat real businesses exaggerating their expenses). The difference in MN is the fraud is jaw-droppingly stupid. Just read the Feeding our Future wikipedia page [1].
The fraudsters knew they were under suspicion, still got money from the state ,sued the state to force them to pay more - claiming racism, won, a judge forced the state to pay them 250m, blatantly spent the money on sports cars (again - knowing they were being investigated), got caught, tried to pay off the jury, the person who tried to pay of the jury stole the bribe money.
The investigation was wrapped up some time ago, but it did not get a lot of attention for obvious political reasons.
It’s not 50% of all Medicaid spending. Minnesota spends about 18B a year (federal + state) on Medicaid). This is an alleged 9b of fraud over 7 years in specific services, so about a billion a year. An organization Minnesota knew was likely fraudulent at the time was still able to steal 250m in a year during COVID so a billion a year doesn’t seem too far fetched.
“40% move to China”
This is the plan not a coincidence. China pays huge “grants” to their citizens to come to the US, get educated, work in big tech/science, then bring it all home.
I think this guide is mostly AI slop. The Google docs section is full of "they might have support for this" "you could do this", "maybe they will add this MCP". How is that a guide?
Down from a massive peak in 2020/2021 when cities tried the "lets not enforce crime" approach. Still elevated from pre 2020 levels.
After ChatGPT accidentally indexed everyones shared chats (and had a cache collision in their chat history early on) and Meta build a UI flow that filled a public feed full of super private chats... seems like a good move to use a battle tested permission system.

You can get a lot of free usage out of the models.
Heavily cut with cheaper substances, with no alternatives
Balcony solar kits are popular in Germany which are a more legit version of this.
The main thing I would be nervous about is the panels are claimed to be "rated for 120km/h winds". Presumably thats if they are bolted down? Just laying them down loose on the roof seems like a bad idea.
They should bring back the content too. When history books are written the current state of things is misleading.
Utilities always need to justify rate increases with the regulator.
The bulk of cost increases come from the transition to renewable energy. You can check your local utility and see.
It’s very easy to make a huge customer like a data center directly pay the cost needed to serve them from the grid.
Generation of electricity is more complicated, the data centers pulling cheap power from Colombia river hydro are starting to compete with residential users.
Generation is a tiny fraction of electricity charges though.
Right, just like how Bernie switched from targeting millionaires to billionaires once he became a billionaire himself.
Doesn’t triton write its own intermediate language that then compiles to PTX?
Definitely not true for these workloads. TPUs are interconnected, one dying makes the whole cluster significantly less useful.
There is a difference between supporting the stated aim of a policy (infrastructure, healthcare) and the implementation. Biden’s “infrastructure” bill was just an insane grift to all the Democrat special interests, see Ezra Klein talking about the broadband funding.
This is comparing push polling “are you in favor of a free money tree” with voting.

Is tape even cost competitive anymore? The market would be tiny.
The interviewer is just another engineer trying to understand if you are someone who they can have a design discussion with.
Dismissive answers that assume they are needlessly over complicating things tells them exactly what they need to know
The author would still be wrong in the tool-calling scenario. There is already perfect (or at least superhuman) chess engines. There is no perfect "coding engine". LLM's + tools being able to reliably work on large codebases would be a new thing.
