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.

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

This is a bit involved, but will work if you have the time and know how to set it up.

You can likely port your landline number to a VOIP service and then setup asterisk. Use IVR to play a message when you are called. Have a code that your friends and family know that will allow them to break out of the IVR and ring an extention.. Funnel everything else to voicemail or whatever you want.. You will only get a ring when it is someone who knows the code.

Comment Re:second hand e-smoke (Score 1) 314

I smoked for years, and could never quit.

Three years ago, I tried an ecig on a lark, and actually quit smoking without intending to, which to me seems like a miracle!

I went through a month or two of coughing up stuff from my lungs, but I never felt the need to smoke cigarettes.

I still have a nicotine addiction, but have been slowly weaning myself down to weaker and weaker e-juice. On day I will quit, but I feel a hell of a lot better than I did when I was smoking!

For me, the patch isn't even close !

Comment Re:Sony will figure out a way (Score 1) 268

The main contributing factor to fiber being inexpensive is that most lines are run above ground here in Tokyo.

NTT has a monopoly on Fiber. I haven't researched this, but I would be shocked if Sony wasn't riding on NTT fiber.

I don't have a motivation to change though. I have a 200/200 capable fiber line (realistically I get 60 to 70 up and down), and bandwidth is never a limiting factor for me.

Comment Re:Budget over Justice? (Score 3, Insightful) 626

Option 4.The government pays for the test and justice is served. A million bucks is not a huge amount when we are talking about government budgets.

You are right though, there is a an amount and a level of certainty where it doesn't make sense to do the test, but a million bucks to keep a serial rapist (or perhaps two) off the streets, would likely pay for itself.
