I'm disappointed... It looks like all the x.xxx domains were registered in 2012 and are just parked (or maybe the register reserved them? I can't tell). It would have been fun if this could be a real email.

Except in this case they're defrauding customers instead of corporate like in Office Space... not quite as fun.

My opinion is that including trans people in this sort of study actually reduces the bias, because they're the only people who will have experienced the social impacts of presenting both male and female at different times. All cis-gendered people will be inherently biased towards their own limited experience.

Most of those seem like nonlinear relationships, so it still doesn't make any sense still. The undergrowth would only start becoming an issue when the height gets taller than the egg diameter.

I'm pretty sure Tesla has offered delivery to a home pretty much from the very beginning. I remember they had some money back guarantee when they announced it because obviously you can't test drive if you don't go to a dealership.

You may recall Tesla started out with basically no dealerships, and this was one of the first options for getting one outside of major city centers.

I'd be fine if there were no more car ads tbh. Sounds like another "not my problem".

Oh neat, this is basically an electric Kei truck. The front looks a little weird with the wheels so far forward. Reminds me of a golf cart. I can't really complain though, I'd love a small practical truck.

Yeah... chip designers have been battling heat output since silicon doping was invented. The main source of heat is transistors changing state, since it doesn't happen instantly, and will disipate more heat when half-on, acting almost like a resistor.
The higher the clock speed, the more time a transistor spends half-on. This is why things like undervolting and underclocking reduce power usage.
Physically smaller transistors usually also means it takes less electrons to saturate the gate, so it allows lower voltages and currents to be used, while still toggling the state at the same speed. (Not to mention timing gets easier the closer the transistors are to each other)

This was actually the main market for Intel Optame. It's got great write endurance, and better latency than Flash. I think they ended up stopping making it because it wasn't cost effective. I'm actually using some old Optame drives in my server for the OS boot drive.

Unfortunately this 1 bit / 400 picoseconds metric is 10x slower than GDDR7. The applications for this will be limited to things that need non-volatile memory.

1 bit / 400 picoseconds is 2.5Gbit/s, or 10x slower than a 1-bit GDDR7 bus (which the 5090 runs at 28Gbit/s * 512 bits).

To be fair this is non-volatile memory though, so the closest real comparison might be Intel Optame. The speeds actually seem somewhat comparable to DDR5, though even that is starting to run in to physical distance and timing issues. The real questions will be around density, cost, and reliability.

That's pretty much my understanding. Most of the advancements happened in memory speeds are related to the physical proximity of the memory and more efficient transmission/decoding.

GDDR7 chips for example are packed as close as physically possible to the GPU die, and have insane read speeds of 28 Gbps/pin (and a 5090 has a 512-bit bus). Most of the limitation is the connection between GPU and RAM, so speeding up the chips internally 1000x won't have a noticeable impact without also improving the memory bus.

 

I was on a road trip through the prairies and had to stop on the side of the road to watch the northern lights. The entire sky in all directions was lit up. I was able to take this shot with the big dipper visible.
