Yep. The thing is, even if you divide the power needed by two (by being smart about which planes you charge, or by how much) and then by two again (for a smaller airport) you still need a full new power plant to supply it. It's well out of SMR territory.

The way you'd have to do it is something like the Tesla approach: put small charging stations for luxury planes in as many airports as possible (because nobody, but nobody, will fly a plane into an airport they can't fly out of), and build out from there. That way you can do something financially interesting at SMR scale, and build momentum for the next step on something marketed as aspirational. Because the hardest SMR to build will be the first. Once you've got one, installing a second should be an easy sell. And two leads to four, and so on and so forth.

This is, of course, making the further assumption that something can be done about charging times. Getting 90GJ into a 737 currently takes about 23 minutes. That's 65MW, which is a nontrivial problem to solve all on its own; anything that slows down the recharge means longer queues to turn around, which, one way or another, means more land area or fewer flights for the airport, and worse economics for the operator.
What about the last decade? My guess is that iPhone battery density hasn't improved at all.
Qt is not bad but it's also not as good as Electron. It doesn't look native (unless you're myopic), it's slower than native, it's quirky, it's buggy... it's cross-platform on paper because when you manage to build your app on another platform you'll see half of it doesn't work well... and on top of that, it costs money. A lot of money. No wonder it lost.

On one hand I understand it's good to have competition. On the other, I'm happy that bad solutions lose. That's the way of the market.
Ruffle is an open-source reimplementation of Flash player. The only differences there are stem from the fact that Ruffle is still very much a work in progress.

While you can't install a plugin any more, you can still install a standalone Flash player. I even have it on my M1 Mac. Works surprisingly well.

A bit late in my reply but here it is: The problem with the EU ramping up a military bloc large, powerful and well enough equipped to be even roughly comparable to the United States (or to China in terms of its impending military capabilities) isn't about human resources or fundamental technical capability.

After all the EU has a larger, well educated population and enough of a young population created by immigrants to easily staff such a military power system. It also has the economic and technical capacity to do so, since as a whole it has an economy roughly the size of the U.S. economy.

Thus none of these are major obstacles. Neither is geography an insurmountable difficulty, since the EU has only one major land border to defend, in the east and even that against a set of countries that are much poorer, weaker and much less populated than the EU/NATO states (despite their larger landmass).

Raw resources could be a problem for the Union, because the EU has them to a much lesser degree than Russia or the U.S., but this could be partly solved by support from overseas (The U.S. for starters), and even partial protection of these seaborne imports by the globally powerful U.S. navy, which would likely be friendly. Also, the sophistication of the EU economy is such that it could likely do more with fewer materials than Russia, even if access to them became a problem.

Thus with all the above covered, the biggest difficulty is in cohesion instead:

The U.S. consists of 50 states and many different ethnic groups, but they almost universally and firmly submit to the central power and direction of the federal government along clearly , historically defined and well respected lines. They also have a long and mostly uniform history of getting along with each other as parts of this national whole (taking aside the 4 years of the Civil War, 162 years ago) On top of this, most people across the whole of the U.S. strongly identify with being American and defending their country. This by the way applies even to the first generation children of most immigrants, which is an impressive showing for the value assigned to American culture and liking it.

The EU on the other hand consists of 27 mostly distinct countries, each with its own unique political, legal, social and economic history and attending sense of identity based on these. Neither the governments of these countries or their people consider themselves European first in the way Americans do. Getting them all to join together militarily in the same way as the U.S. would thus be incredibly hard, considering past animosities, the above-mentioned qualities and of course, simple resistance to economic sacrifice. Sure, EU member nations and their people superficially play along with the practices of supranational government while its convenient, but this could go out the window the minute it becomes really hard or dangerous. In a military context, much more so, and especially in a war scenario outside of the purely, urgently defensive.

I read an article recently about the growth in sales of such "trucks" in Australia. In there people were complaining that the existing parking spaces aren't big enough for these vehicles, so there should be a review into parking regulations to make spots bigger to accommodate them.

In my mind I would like to see the opposite happen, and instead have a review into these "trucks" to see if they are actually what we want for the road.

There's been diagrams produced that through the ages these vehicles have been getting bigger but with less actual cargo space in them. While some in the country might want them I don't believe for a moment they are as necessary nor as useful for the cities and suburbs where parking space sizes would matter.
I'm not sure what that has to do with my post?

A bit of feedback, if I may:

* maybe it worth showing some feedback when AI is thinking/composing the answer vs. when it's already finished. Currently, on my machine words appear rather slowly, so it's not always clear if Assistant is done answering or not. Currently, I use CPU fan noise to check when it's done thinking :)

* also, scrolling the white text field to the bottom might be useful to see that text appeared.

* and it looks like it has some issues with non-latin symbols - try submitting some emoji or cyrillic text to it - black console at the bottom shows "Invalid UTF-8 leading byte 0x0000008d encountered when deserializing a UTF-8 string in wasm memory to a JS string!" message and user input (and AI output) appears garbled in the white field at the top.

Other than that, great stuff!

> What they should be asking you is to show the most optimal way to reverse the array, which is to find a popular highly optimised library and use that, one that is also likely to be far less buggy.

The most optimal way is not to reverse the array at all, but instead index it in reverse later in the code when it's used.
Are jumbo frames needed any more?

Most NICs have various types of offloading now, especially if you get into 10+ GigE, so how much of a bottleneck is frame processing nowadays? (Either on the send or receive side.)
Probably I don't know enough to argue, but those are the repeated arguments and which I agree with. In my current place, I know we can reduce the infra bill significantly if we move to renting physical servers or VPSs, but nobody would like to gamble on the "big words" (availability,..). We already have a system to deal with downtime in one region but it will take much more efforts that would lead to a minicloud if we want to go with the dedicated hosting.

My F150 pollutes much less than my wife’s car simply by virtue of me working from home while she commutes every day. Taking up more space is not an issue for people who don’t live in big cities. Trucks are not more inherently dangerous than any other vehicle just because of their size. If that were the case let’s outlaw semis, delivery trucks and anything larger than a VW Golf (a car I had & loved in my youth.)

You folks need to get it out of your heads that one size fits all and everyone needs to have the same values and make the same choices as you. Everything has risks and trade offs.

globally install a modern version of Python in a Docker container

You lost a bunch of people right there. There's a significant difference between "open a terminal" and "install Docker, create a container, configure the latest version of Python."
> There is no standard.

There are standards, they just aren't relevant. 802.11(n) specifies 7935 bytes (A-MSDU), 802.3(as) specifies "frame envelope" at 2000 bytes. (The latter is to have room for encapsulation headers to be able to deliver 1500 regardless of encap.)
I feel like the back of the envelope calculation must have slipped a decimal point somewhere. 9GW is approximately 1/4 of the total electrical consumption in the whole of the UK. From memory aviation as a whole is only 2% of global emissions (although it might have an extra forcing effect due to being released directly into the upper atmosphere) where as electricity generation is 20-40% of emissions.
That could be one way to reduce the desirability of these "trucks" and SUVs by making anything classified as a truck require a truck license to drive. Though I believe as in Australia in the USA drivers licenses are on a per-state basis. This makes it much more difficult to get enacted, though I imagine California and New York might be places where it could get traction.
It's also the same in at least some, maybe many or most, large private businesses, not because of any legal requirement or regulation but as part of their internal ethical standards.

Not surprising given how impractical and expensive modern pickup trucks are. There seems to be a market for smaller practical vehicles but auto manufactures want to sell trucks and SUVs because they make the most of them.

That's in large part to light trucks having less stringent fuel-economy regulations.

> Do you pay % of the house you will sell it for to each handyman

It's not material to your point, but if you're flipping houses, and don't have much cash, and have someone you've worked with before and that trusts you, it's not unheard of for then highly skilled and licensed tradesperson (eg electrician) to take a percentage off the sales price. Most people don't buy or sell houses that often, and most people don't work for promised future cash, so it's definitely not normal though.
Yeah I wonder about this as well. It was decades ago that a friends Mercedes was stolen in Poland and the police just immediately concluded that it had been taken to Russia. I'm thinking "well yeah, if you just decide all stolen vehicles go to Russia then they in fact are never found".

> That is a very expensive expense, though. And the result might still be worse.

That's entirely possible but it is hard to tell without going through the entire learning process. There might be a lot of redundancy (as we can quickly recognize mirror shapes) which if tapped at an early age might make it actually a trivial "add-on".

Anecdotally you can learn within minutes to slowly parse script in reverse order. Whether you can ever get to the same speed is not clear. We do know that some cultures did use alternating script (so its clearly not impossible) but we also know that they abandoned it in the end - so there might be some disadvantages.

Maybe the reason for eventually adopting uniform LR or RL instead or alternating is not the difficulty of mastering mirror versions, but being able to quickly start reading from any line on a page. For example finding the spot where you left reading, or scanning to find a relevant part. For this task the alternating form is actually less efficient as you need to jump back and forth as you go down (or up :-) the page.

Since the EHT is an interferometer, the observations contain less information than what would be available from a single telescope of the same equivalent size. Therefore to reconstruct the 'full image' you need to find the model which best fits your interferometric observables. As far as I can tell, what they've done with PRIMO is basically a fancy version this kind of modelling. The data isn't necessarily being guided towards the simulations, it's more like we have a better computational technique to precisely fit the data.

Disregarding everything else, you still lose a minor amount of performance to the IFG (inter-frame gap) and headers that need to be repeated. The offloads on the NIC — and switches/routers inbetween — also consume some small but non-zero amount of power per frame to do their work, which if you multiply by the number of servers in a Cloud DC…
Hybrids that emit carbon will still have a huge effect on global warming, simply because there are so many cars. There isn't a huge amount of headroom for efficiency increases, so you're only going to get anywhere near "net zero" by charging from a renewable grid nearly all the time.
You can purchase 80GB A100s right now for about $12,5k on the open market. I think the list price is $16k. I don't know what discount the big purchasers see, but 30% should be table stakes (probably explains that $12.5k prices), 50% for the big boys wouldn't be at all surprising to me based on my experience with other computing hardware.

So under the assumption that 8 80GB gpus are required, we're talking about a somewhat more than $100k one time cost (for 8x 80gb A100 plus the host) plus power, not 6-7 figures annually. Huge difference!

Evaluating it in a latency limited regime but without enough workload to enable meaningful batching is truly a worst case. I admit that there are applications where you're stuck with that, but there are plenty that aren't.

Anyone in that regime should try to figure out how to get out of it. E.g. concurrently generating multiple completions can sometimes help you hide latency, at least to the extent that you're regenerating outputs because you were unhappy with the first sample.

> that can handle one user interacting with it at a time.

That bit I don't follow. The argument given there is without batching. You can do N samples concurrently at far less than N times the cost.

> OpenAI are charging
