I don't understand why even put that HBM on top of the core.

From what I understand, in a typical gpu core you put logic and connectors on one side and innert silicon on the other. So unless you drill through silicon you don't get shorter routing.

Why not put GPU one one side and HBM on the other side of the PCB? This would fix the cooling problem?

Polish is quite good, expected based on the founders' background

Also, with renewable energy sources, the problem is not manufacturing energy per se but getting the energy where and when you want.

For example, you could run a gas turbine in Germany in winter at night during a spike of the consumption and run carbon capture on a desert during the day

In a sense you use atmosphere as battery/transportation system.

I am not saying that this must make sense but this is far more complex than napkin math.

What about using multiple open source projects with already existing tests? You check if results of execution are the same between compiler versions? This should also provide you with a better coverage of various features

My intuition is that as contexts get longer we start hitting the limits of how much comprehension can be embedded in a single point of vector space, and will need better architectures for selecting the relevant portions of the context.

We are dealing with multi-headed attention, therefore we have multiple points per token. You can always increase the number of heads or the size of the key vector.

I don't think so. Biological nitrogen fixation is far too inefficient for this to make sense. Deceased in yield would be too big tfor this to make sense

To give some numbers, just the fixation takes 5.4 more energy, and photosynthesis is 6 times less efficient than solar panels. Moving to biological fixation would also increase water and pesticide usage

This theory is trying to justify MOND, and MOND by itself has many problems. It has problems with explaining the bullet cluster, CMB spectrum, and rotation curves of some galaxies. This paper was not even peer reviewed. This is almost certainly nothing burger

My biggest problem is that this hypothesis does not explain why farming started so much later in the Americas than in Eurasia. From Wikipedia "approximate centres of origin of agriculture and its spread in prehistory: the Fertile Crescent (11,000 BP), the Yangtze and Yellow River basins (9,000 BP) and the Papua New Guinea Highlands (9,000–6,000 BP), Central Mexico (5,000–4,000 BP), Northern South America (5,000–4,000 BP), sub-Saharan Africa (5,000–4,000 BP, exact location unknown), eastern North America (4,000–3,000 BP). " and American civilisation were about 4 thousand years behind Eurasia when it come to technology.

TBH running a full A* for each soldier is not only waistfull but also not realistic. Most people are just moving with the group and might not even know where the entire formation is going

Almost all modern games, movies, and tv series would not have been created if there was no profit insentive. And even the book author needs to somehow make a living. Begin able to write books without having to work in some factory for half of your day makes writing easier.

But the fact that the computation diverges is not a problem by itself. All QFT diverge but this can be fixed by renormalisation. Problem is that for gravity this would require infinity many parameters and the theory could match any observation

I would say the benchmarks with lookup tables are bad. In the benchmark cpu will keep the table in cache but in a real program this cache would have to be shared with rest of the code/data. This would either kill the performance of cosine or rest of the app
