Comment Re:Hahaha, wait for Tesla Dojo (Score 1) 18

will be a exponential step up, by polynomial orders of magnitude because no one is as smart as Elon

“Frankly if they could deliver us enough GPUs, we might not need Dojo,” Musk told analysts on Wednesday during Tesla’s Q2 earnings call. “But they can’t, because they have got so many customers.”

In October, Musk said he wasn’t even sure his latest project would prove itself superior to buying Nvidia chips off the shelf—unusual given he typically demands the best from his team. Instead he was full of praise of Huang and thanked the company for prioritize some of its orders.

“We’ll actually take Nvidia hardware as fast as Nvidia will deliver it to us,” he said yesterday.

Tesla has a voracious demand for A.I. chips that seemingly outstrips virtually any commercial competitor. It aims to reach an in-house compute capability of 100 exaFLOPS (an extremely high level of supercomputer performance) by the end of next year, a truly staggering figure that would ensconce it easily among the global top five providers known currently, according to the company.

Comment Re:Hyperloop ... (Score 2) 142

Huh, Teslas in a Tunnel? Wasn't this Hyperloop thing supposed to be a Vactrain, straight out of a SciFi novel, operating in a near frictionless low-pressure tunnel system?

costs more money for trains and maintenance is harder,
their main focus is improving the boring speed and lowering the cost of tunneling
trains would add few $100m to the price tag

Comment Any good shows with lots of episodes (Score 1) 139

I chose Internet but I often find myself watching old BBC shows I never saw before or knew about but never watch such as QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats, or ones I really like such as The IT Crowd (normally I watch a TV show or movie and never watch it again).

  Anything that is a bit old and there are lots of it so I can go through it one by one.

  Next on the list is Star Trek: DS9 I'm a big Trek fan but I never really got into DS9 but I think I will go through each episode from the start, now it's like a wrapped present.

Comment There are different kinds of nuclear reactor (Score 1) 229

I'm not an expert on reactors but I don't this attitude of there being a 'nuclear plant' as if there were only one type there are different types and even the growing popularity of liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTRs).

  Canada, where I live, has plants using natural uranium in vessels that are not pressurized and they work fine without all the drama.

  Japan can do as it pleases of course I understand why but everyone else is freaking out over misinformation.
