Issue for any country that is not China. A single country getting the most AI tokens business would be generally bad for global economy. Hoping against hope that this business gets globally distributed and there is a healthy marketplace competition overall
It’s all about economic warfare. The cheaper you can run the models, the cheaper you can offer them. Undercutting expensive tiers with token limits or exuberant billing practices.
You are right to be scared, because this race to the bottom also provides open weights/models/qat’s for the rest of us and it’s been crazy to see how good they can be on a consumer grade RTX card.
That's Intel. Probably IBM too, though they've been doing mass manufacturing with TSMC (and GloFo before) for years instead of their fabs. I wouldn't be surprised if HP did similar things back in the 80s.
What do you mean by etching? Google does also it's own chip design with TPUs, data centers, and models but afaik only TSMC Intel and Samsung do the actual semiconductor fabrication
Intel and TSMC are not what they are today just because they buy a very expensive EUV Machine from ASML but because they have the knowledge and infrastructure to even use these machines.
Some of these don't seem like "YC scandals":
- Zenefits: A non-YC company put a spy in Zenefits.
- Pebble: Still loved by many, just had black swan event of Apple launching a better product
- Cruise: Looks very much like a GM issue.
The problem is more so that I think I'd need a brain-machine interface to get what I want. If I'm brainstorming a way to solve a problem mechanically, some if it is drawing but honestly a lot of it is just imagining it in my head. From there I go straight from imagination or sketches to CAD, which is why text-to-CAD or drawing-to-CAD generally doesn't work, the act of making the CAD file is how you learn and figure out how to solve the problem better once you see it all in 3D space
Two children of different co-workers both have Oculus VR headsets and have evinced some interest in 3D printing and 3D design --- I suggested various 3D design tools intended to work with that, but no idea on how workable they are, or if there was any success....
A few things that have helped me in the past are:
- Find small wins. Don't expect big changes immediately. Small wins accumulate over time. Examples: say hi to neighbors, go to a gym, work from a coffee shop etc.
- Join a coworking space. This was a huge help personally. It still took more than a few months but this changed my life.
It's a short book giving obvious advice, that one needs to embrace change, using a metaphor of mice and cheese. It receives a lot of scorn for that, despite many needing to hear the message.
I'm ready to embrace change, however in this case no one cares. The cheese hasn't just been moved, it has been taken to another planet where us mice are not allowed to go.
I don't know what the difference is intended to be but the guidelines also don't have anything to say about voting on comments except not to complain about it.
There are 4 different categories of fixing the global CO2 challenge:
a. Remove CO2 from atmosphere
b. Prevent adding new CO2 from reaching atmosphere
This could also be a good use case for #b where CO2 is captured before being released to the atmosphere. For example factories and vehicles could be mandated to use this.
