A typical hair dryer uses about 1500W. I guess GPUs are mechanically not much different from a hair dryer.

If you can't afford to buy the lego, you definitely can't afford to have the space to display it.

Only the collectible ones. It's do different with shoes, cars, Pokemon cards, etc

Guessing the depth of a puddle is not an easy task. Many untrained horses will refuse to step into shallow puddles. Then we also have human drivers driving into flooded road.

I highly recommend a free Amazon warehouse tour. You really get to see how the items you order gets picked and packaged.

Their design department needs an intervention

That's why we call it software engineering, not software science.

In places with a lot of flat empty land, solar farms are a lot cheaper. South Korea doesn't have any flat empty land though..

It's a desert so trees can't survive without irrigation. Since water is scarce as well, there aren't enough trees to cover the vast low density area.

One important detail is lost in translation. This law applies to publicly-funded parking lots. Public parking does not mean any parking lot open to the general public in this case.

It's car optimized because the 110F weather makes it un-walkable in the first place. When I lived in a walkable city, I would prefer to walk 30 minutes than drive. When I lived in Phoenix, I did not want to spend more than 30 seconds outside in the summer.

This is a classic case of Productivity Paradox when personal computers were first introduced into workplaces in the 80s.

A famous economist once said, "You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics."

There are many reasons for the lag in productivity gain but it certainly will come.

There's a famous quote by a cyclist, "It never gets easier, you just go faster"

Not that I agree with the pardons, but former presidents are usually old. Letting your political opponent die in prison can have a massive backlash so most presidents would rather not let that happen.

I'm half joking but if this AI boom continues we're going to see Nvidia exit from consumer GPU business. But Jensen Huang will never do that to us... (I hope)

The brand aware "consumers" are really just DIY PC builders, which is relatively a small number. Enterprise DRAM business is doing so great that Micron just doesn't see the consumer market is worth chasing.

This is bad for consumers though since DRAM prices are skyrocketing and now we have one less company making consumer DRAM.

Well unless there's some ghost-like life form in a gas state, we sort of need the molecules to stay together to form life.

Or 1300 horsepower

It was definitely not perfectly clear. I was very confused when I first read the comment.

If we were talking about laptops I would know M3 refers to the processor, but there's literally a car named "M3" that's been popular for nearly 40 years.

Sir, M3 means something else in the car world

Nvida has a P/E of 47. While it may be a bit high for a semiconductor company, it's definitely not a meme stock figure.

I sometimes wonder how many talented engineers top colleges are rejecting because they were busy working on real engineering projects like this than academics and test scores.

Some of the side effects of semaglutide are just a result of eating less calories.

Without a control group who also ate the same amount of calories but without the drug, it's hard to know if the side effect were directly caused by semaglutide or just a result of being in a calorie deficit.

Nobody should take Dow Jones Industrial Average seriously. It's only relevant because it's been around for 139 years. It only tracks arbitrarily selected 30 large companies and it's not even weighted by market cap.

It was made this way because 139 years ago we didn't have computers and someone had to manually calculate the average.

I see news as three parts: facts, opinions, and curation.

There are plenty of free and reputable news sources and paying doesn't seem to increase the credibility of the news.

So we're effectively paying for the opinion and curation. However, I don't feel the need to pay to read about a random journalists opinion nor the curation of a (possibly politically motivated) editor when I can read hundreds of people's opinions nicely curated by upvotes on sites like Reddit and Hacker News.

I have to admin, I spend far more time reading comments than the actual article.

If you're in LA and want to see the first Falcon 9 that landed, you can see it displayed in front of Space X HQ.

Google AI is wrong too often that fact checking the AI's answer is becoming more work than just searching the answers myself.

What VR is lacking is content. Apple needs to make a user friendly 360 camera in an approachable price range. I take a 360 camera whenever I travel and rewatching 360 videos in a VR headset can put me back in time. Being able to relive the moment I saw the total eclipse or walking through my childhood home is not something a phone camera can do.

Currently the image quality of consumer grade 360 cameras are webcam level and having to edit and export 360 content then side loading it to a VR headset is not a very user friendly experience.

So looks like FCC is implementing some new rules to protect against SIM swapping and that's taking effect on July 8, 2024. Though from the press release, I'm not quite sure if that'll protect the customer from a carrier employee being the bad actor.
