Ford also has a Germany factory. Probably most big auto manufacturers do. Foreign cars are big in Germany (I think I read 40%), as they are in basically every country.

Of course other factories should still count, why wouldn't they? You're only thinking of Tesla because its always in the news, but there are plenty of other 100% legit foreign auto manufacturers in Germany.
France, Portugal, Spain, UK, Netherlands, Denmark too are partially located outside Europe.
Amen!

Speaking for apps but also of OSes, all that crap (AI integration, "Abobe Cloud" integration, and so on etc) should be not just opt-in, but also invisible once switched off (as opposed to some icon or banner nagging you about it in the UI, or ocassional popups asking you if you want to "enable it").
Dutch Roll is a coupling of yawing and rolling dynamic modes, and is a product of the aircraft's aerodynamics. If the aircraft is disturbed off a steady-state path either by control input, changing winds, or turbulence, then it should return back to it's steady-state path with oscillations that quickly dampen. Dutch Roll is a phenomenon where these oscillations grow rather than dampen as a result of out-of-phase yaw and roll modes.

So Dutch Roll can be triggered by turbulence/wind, but the Dutch Roll itself is the result of something going wrong in reaction to that stimulus. This is different than the aircraft just being batted around by turbulence.
I work for a large German company and some of our suppliers and business partners have had a fax machine for a long time that they used exclusively for our purposes.

Fortunately, these times are over, and the company has celebrated the long overdue abolition of the fax machine ;-)
Frankfurt Stock Exchange or the DAX is mostly irrelevant. Germany has a strong, family-owned Mittelstand, those companies are not publicly traded and thus not listed. Plus, we have some giants that are also not publicly listed but belong to the richest Germans (Lidl, Aldi of discount groceries, but also automotive OEM Bosch).

I'd never heard of her, so I checked wikipedia. Try that.
Yeah, that's the weird part.

Nuvia's ARM license (now owned by Qualcomm) may be invalid for Qualcomm non-server use.

But how can Nuvia IP be invalid?

Presumably ARM never owned Nuvia's IP: why would they have negotiated that, given they already had license control?

Ergo, Qualcomm owns Nuvia IP without a Nuvia ARM license.

... but that's fine, because Qualcomm has a Qualcomm ARM license.

"I revoke your license, so you can't sell your IP to a willing third party" is a pretty dangerous precedent. You should be perfectly free to do so, to the extent that your buyer would also need their own license.
Most likely it'd be burned in a bioenergy powerstation.

Drax in the UK [1] is a quite good case study for this (assuming they get it all up and running), though they're not using algae. Right now they grow trees, and burn those in pellet form. It's currently considered sustainable as it's not adding new carbon to the above-ground system (whereas coal/gas/oil is adding to the above-ground carbon). Their next phase is to attempt to capture the post-combustion emissions from their chimney stacks, at which point they have a non-biodegradable mass of carbon to bury somewhere.

We did and it was a lot of work. We had to maintain 5-6 libraries ourselves instead of using one maintained by the services themselves. We had to fork libraries because they became abandoned.

Elixir has been around for 12 years now and still hasn't gained any meaningful traction.

The risk of using Elixir vastly out ways the benefits today if you are trying to build a product.

There is a reason why almost every product today is built using JS and Python because it easy to find developers, it's easy to find everything you need, almost every service supports it and there are tons of resources for it.

We switched for Elixir to JS and we only have to maintain the app itself. We have hundreds of OSS helping maintain the libraries we use most of them working for companies that the libraries are for. That's the massive advantage of using popular languages that everyone uses.

Elixir is a fun language but that's about it.

Isn't SXM5 higher bandwidth? It's 900 GB/s of bidirectional bandwidth per GPU across 18 NVLink 4 channels. The NVL's are on PCIe 5, and even w/ NVLink only get to 600 GB/s of bandwidth across 3 NVLink bridges (across only pairs of cards)?

I haven't done a head to head and I suppose it depends on whether tensor parallelism actually scales linearly or not, but my understanding is since the NVL's are just PCIe/NVLink paired H100s, you're not really getting much if any benefit on something like vLLM.

I think the more interesting thing critique might be the slightly odd choice of Mixtral 8x7B vs say a more standard Llama2/3 70B (or just test multiple models including some big ones like 8x22B or DBRX.

Also, while I don't have a problem w/ vLLM, as TensorRT gets easier to set up, it might become a factor in comparisons (since they punted on FP8/AMP in this tests). Inferless published a shootoff a couple months ago comparing a few different inference engines: https://www.inferless.com/learn/exploring-llms-speed-benchma...

Price/perf does tell a story, but I think it's one that's mostly about Nvidia's platform dominance and profit margins more than intrinsic hardware advantages. On the spec sheet MI300X has a memory bandwidth and even raw FLOPS advantage but so far it has lacked proper software optimization/support and wide availability (has anyone besides hyperscalers and select partners been able to get them?)
That is almost exactly how they usually do it, but they many times negotiate per company. However, it does look like ARM trying to have a redo on their contract that they have had in place for a very long time, now that ARM is more popular. When it was the cell manufactures that made it possible for ARM to be in the current position it is in precisely because of the terms ARM had in its contract years ago. Qcom may have a good case as they have put arm chips in computers before (omnitracs). ARM saying it has to be tied with a modem, and buying another company does a full reset on the existing contract may not go far.
Pretty much everything you said makes sense.

Tesla's current range doesn't go low enough to replace all vehicles, but transport is one of the single largest greenhouse gas sources — electric vehicles may not be sufficient, but it certainly is a necessary part of solving climate change, given the scale of the problem.

I meant relate to the concept of: what is important to your bubble might not matter to the rest of the world.

Most people don't care about surveillance, nor have they heard of open source. But being a tech nerd, I absolutely do think they are very importang for the whole world to embrace.

But on a philosophical level I can see that other people have other priorities. Or a different angle how to solve things.

Many would say climate change is the most important problem, to which I would say, open source (hardware) has the best chance of solving this crisis. Making the tech broadly avaiable. (And anti surveillance so we do not end up in totalitarian states while trying to solve the other problems)

But to a conservative he sees no base of anything, if the foundations of (his) morals are destroyed.

Packetloss with TCP creates unnecessary latency for games.

The OS TCP stack basically will show data in a sequential fashion to the userspace code, this greatly simplifies things like a HTTP stream but in a game it also means that even if 9 out of 10 packets have arrived, if the lost one is the first packet then we need to wait for another roundtrip or more before seeing all the packets because the first one still needs to be re-sent before anything is seen.

With UDP and custom handling you can just proceed to render and show everything as it shows up, asking for a re-send will at worst cause re-simulation in an engine like SS's but for most parts the player won't notice unless something significant was lost.

For those that played Quake 1 before Quake World the difference was staggering, a Q1 session would freeze on packet-losses when the client tried to catch up(hard when a significant portion of the bandwidth was already used on the modem) whilst QW mostly kept on trucking with some jerks (they probably made other improvements also).

The US isn't the only country with a large private space sector. China and India have both been heavily investing in it since the mid-2010s, because a dynamic space sector also means having an indigenous capability to deploy spy-satellites and ballistic missiles.

There's a reason why Maxar, SpaceX, etc all get outsized DoD funding.

India's space sector is also getting a massive cash infusion from the UAE [0] and KSA [1], as they both begin their process of building domestic space capabilities due to worries of Iran.

To be honest, you're not answering a lot of the questions.

That's not a criticism. That was the point of the post. That a lot of people read a question, and allow emotion to get the better of them. (I would argue that nearly all people do this.)

Just as a for instance, you answered "no" to 3. This was based on, again, according to you, "admittance rates of blacks vs asians". But if you read the question, it was about discrimination in "academia". Point being, you had your preconceived narrative, which would be confirmed if you took "academia" to mean undergraduate admissions. And people who answer "yes" have their preconceived narrative, which would be confirmed if you took "academia" to mean, say, hiring into academia from a pool of people who already received a PhD. (Even those receiving a PhD from the same department in the same school.)

The question as posed, is not answerable in an objective manner without qualifications. But you gave an answer, which will be taken as an answer without qualifications. Which evokes claims of bias and on and on and on. For instance, will you sit on a hiring panel for your department after such an answer? And, at root, the trouble is only due to the question being an unfocused question, calibrated to evoke an emotional reaction and an almost instinctual deviation from scientific rigor. Not really due to the biases or baser instincts of people offering an answer of yes or no to said question.

My recommendation:

We should stop with all the sensitivity training, and instead have yearly reinforcement training on the principles of scientific rigor. Training where we work through just these sorts of exercises so that people can see how easily they can be moved away from the scientific method if they're not paying attention.

Almost no one uses liquid fueled Ballistic Missiles any more (I think China is the only one) because they are so operationally terrible.

The eventual rocket sounds like it's a hair larger than RocketLab's Electron. Which is struggling to reach profitability after being in its segment for 7-8 years mostly without peer competition. Largely thanks to SpaceX's transporter (and now bandwagon) missions sucking most of the volume out of the market.

Making a working rocket is undoubtedly an amazing accomplishment. But at the same time, I really wish that companies stopped making small-lift rockets. There's just no way for them to work financially.

"Dutch Roll" in context: it's one of the dynamic modes of a plane -- a bit like the "phugoid" (e.g. when your paper airplane repeatedly speeds downward, pitches up, stalls, and speeds downward again on its way to the ground).

In broad strokes, the dynamic modes can have natural frequencies -- in the same sense often used when speaking of resonance, transfer functions -- and there's a trade-off between (1) having low natural frequencies and (2) having a responsive control system.
