>To improve performance using the same basic architecture the model need to scale both compute and training data.

What you are trying to say here is that you need to scale both parameters and data as scaling data increases compute.

That said, it's not really true. It would be best if you scaled both data and parameters but you can get increased performance just scaling one or the other.
It IS a simple process. It uses a ton of pre-filled IRS docs.

> Discrete logic circuits can be fast because they have a lot of area over which to dissipate heat and can guzzle current.

... but not too fast either, because the long trace lengths are antennas so you'll end up in EMF emission regulations hell on the one side, and signal integrity issues on the other side. On top of that come losses from inductive and capacitive coupling.
The Apple A8X, found in the iPad Air 2, contains about 3 billion transistors. (This is comparable to the number of transistors in modern desktop computer CPUs as well.) At the scale of the MOnSter 6502, that would take about 885,000 square feet (over 20 acres or 8 hectares) — an area about 940 ft (286 m) square.
We have a bunch of new methane monitoring satellites, so it is very observable and enforceable.
This doesn't appear to support any FPGAs other than their FPGA chiplet [1]. Also, like UncleOxidant said, the most complex parts of this toolchain are just existing open-source tools (Yosys and VPR).

Imagine how many topics and stories have been suppressed around the world on Murdock stations.
I noted that there were two sides. Explaining it doesn't advance the conversation.

"...in the political context the market is embedded in" is nonsense, especially when appealing to the "market sorting it out" in the next breath.

Which argument are you recruting? Political intervention or the free market? Both? That's nice hand waving, no offense. Seemingly to make it as if your position is so elevated that it satisfies all political ideals. Instead, choose. Unless you mean to imply that the (free) market is also the political market. But your language should be a lot more precise if that's your point, so as to eliminate the look of vague line straddling as a rhetorical tactic.

Your rebuttal over-simplifies my response and therefore seems like a word dump.

Your view, absent your muddled (imo) rationale described above, is included in my response. The complicating factors were a). the common simultaneous advocacy for importing millions of unskilled workers and b.) the implied fact that increasing wages decreases available jobs.

Those factors are included in my total "complaint" (observation). Which is not a "political conviction".
> Their claim is that this method is still yet cheaper than drilling/fracking.

They claim the green way to go is converting hydrogen into methane....check out the link for a company claiming the green way to go is converting methane to hydrogen:

https://www.pnnl.gov/news-media/new-clean-energy-process-con...

I rather suspect that taking an energy detour through methane either way is a red herring. I mean....the OP says that their whole process is powered by solar energy. So they are presupposing that solar energy is going to be WAAAYYYY cheaper than methane. Why not just use the solar power directly?

I wasn't intending my comment as anti-housing. More pointing out that "unused for most of the time" is a somewhat useless metric.

Though, I am curious on your claim. I agree that feels like a common thing that almost certainly has happened. I am curious on how common it truly was?

Yes, correct. Human rights is a liberal concept. Pluralism is a liberal concept. Secularism is a liberal concept. There are in fact lots of people who actually literally disagree with these ideals. Lots of ‘em in the Middle East, in fact, which is why you cannot assume that merely lifting the oppressor’s thumb would yield the outcome that’s so intrinsically appealing to your sensibilities that you’re struggling to even identify it as an opinion that you hold and that others may not.

No, I was referring to western liberalism that’s why I used the term western liberalism not “neoliberal hegemony of wealthy Western nations.”

> even regular people should pay their taxes, no?

Taxes aren't an ethical or moral topic, they are a legal topic. If you can avoid a tax through some legal structure, you are within your rights to do so and you can't judge this as some sort of shady business. Taxes are mostly used to create incentives and collect money, if people are allowed a legal structure to avoid a probate tax, then that might be an incentive on purpose. Just because you did something to pay less taxes does not mean that you are some bad actor exploiting a loophole.

For example, taxes are only paid on profit, so companies are incentivized to spend their money and pay less in taxes. No one sees this as a legal loophole that needs to be fixed, it is very much intentional.

Also you are making the false dichotomy here of "regular people" as something different from "somewhat versed in financial entities people". That's weird.

> Imagine using a program that can only allocate 4GB of ram because it has 32-bit address space. There's no benefit to that limitation

You're looking at isolated parts of a system. In a system, an artificial "limit" in one component becomes a known constraint that other components can leverage as part of their own engineering.

In the example of memory addresses, it might be "artificial" to say that a normal application can only use 32-bit or 48-bit addresses when the hardware running the application operates in 64-bits, but this explicit constraint might enable (say) a runtime or operating system to do clever things with those extra bits -- security, validation, auditing, optimization, etc.

And in many cases, the benefits of being able to engineer a system of constrained components are far more common and far more constructive than the odd occasion that a use case is entirely inhibited by a constraint.

That's not to say that we should blindly accept and perpetuate every constraint ever introduced, or introduce new ones without thoughtful consideration, but it's wrong to believe they have "no benefit" just because they seem "artificial" or "arbitrary".
The last commit in December is on the 21st, so I'm not sure how much can be read into it.

But note that he comes back next year on the 5th, then disappears for 6th and 7th, and comes back at 8th. 7th is the old-style Eastern Orthodox Christmas, as celebrated in e.g. Russia, Serbia, and Georgia, and 6th is therefore the Christmas Eve. Although in Russia official holidays are the entire week from January, 1 to January, 8 inclusive... still, for this kind of work I wouldn't expect them to stick to the letter of the law there.

Trust them to merge a bugfix is different from trusting them with my identity isn't it?

There are degrees of trust. For example I have a gmail address in my profile because the spam filter on there is better than what I have on my personal domain. People I've known for longer, business or otherwise, get the other (that I read more often).
This is just semantics then. If you're implementing a linked list or a tree without a class (or at the very least a function that behaves like a class), it's going to be awkward and clumsy.

Data-structures beyond what the standard lib gives you (string and array) are the main reason the addition of classes to JS was so helpful.

Usually you would compare it to other instances of urban combat.

E.g. you might compare it to ukrainian battles that took place in cities, but you wouldn't compare it to ukrainian battles that took place in the middle of nowhere where no civilians were.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualty_ratio has some things to compare against. Part of the problem is it is often hard to identify who is a civilian, and often different battles will categorize them differently. For example, in the iraq war us was accused of significantly undercounting civilian casualties. All this makes it hard to do direct comparisons.

That sounds a lot like CouchDB and PouchDB. I haven't used the latter, but CouchDB provides a standard REST API (with authentication) out of the box.

But more stuff like this is always welcome!

The current transformers used by Sense are inductive by their very nature, but that property does not suggest preferential detection of specifically inductive loads.

It can detect inductive loads as being unique, but it can also detect largely-resistive loads as being unique -- as well as many other things that present a particular signature.

The toaster presented in the blog is an excellent example of a largely-resistive thing that still behaves in unique ways.

yes :-) Think about it: why did Saturn V use hydrogen and oxygen? Because burning hydrogen produces more energy by weight than any other chemical reaction.

If putting hydrogen and oxygen together releases the most energy, then splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen would also take the most energy. Any other chemical reaction which yielded H2 would take less energy.
