  • He declared victory after first couple of days. Can claim nuclear program and infrastructure is 20 years from rebuilding. navy, air force, blah blah. SoH is world's problem, and they better send their tankers to USA for generous USA extortion of the situation... so "double win". Not even counting the diversion from Israel genocide of Lebannon.

    That Dems not praise the victory is still a better political outcome, than $150-$300 oil, and destruction of GCC desalination and production capacity, with likely regime changes there. US just leaving will still brings GCC closer to Iran/China, but regime change moves them against Israel sooner.

  • While a critic might argue that’s just swapping one federal government for another, Lorusso argues that’s not the case in the US, where states have powers that Canadian provinces do not.

    States don't have the power to secede, so it's a hotel california situation. Health care is not under control of any state. $100k in extra debt per person = $4000+/year in interest. $3000/year per capita military spending, about to increase to $5000/year. Higher interest rates and home building costs, including O&G drilling costs due to tariffs on Canada.

    If negotiating secession with Canada, Crown land should stay with Canada or at least form a land bridge within Canada. Canadian policies would charge more for transporting Alberta exports, and reduce their energy use. Alberta secession economic optimism is based on going all in on dead ender energy without any real friends. Don't expect keys to the store open arms invitation to being 51st state, either.

  • The short term demand destruction is flight cancellations, and restrictions on filling up times, work from home policies. So many ships standing still is a dent too.

  • Iron flow batteries are not in cells pictured in OP. They are in vats that fill a fuel cell to make power. Under 80% efficient, though OP claims to have broken through 75% efficiency barrier. 8 hour charge/discharge rate is good enough to be practical, but the balance of plant of fuel cell and pumps makes it not as cheap as pure iron could impress.

  • wtf... theoretically, Trump has already received the ballroom donations. While I'm tired of the shooting scam spectacles, it is a sacrifice I prefer to make, rather than pay for this.

  • China's robotics/automation is next level. They have gigapresses to form the car body in one step.

    The bigger question is if we can't manufacture shoes in the west, why not just design cars instead of making them as well?

  • I'm unsure the defense industry analogy is correct, although fewer hires does matter. Instead of hires, some people (often deeply unqualified) are now building software for spec to sell to industries that might be charmed/but unqualified to judge the software. Other's making software for their own personal productivity, with self monetization ambitions, often copying what seems useful to others. It's unclear whether there are fewer people working on software, or just bigger monolith companies shifting engineers to take on a more entrepreneurial role. That can mean trouble for the larger software companies.

    You could (many have) make the same argument against higher level languages all these years. If no one actually knows assembler and metal networking (or GPU for that matter now) protocols, they can't possibly make optimized/knowledgeable architecture decisions. The only people allowed to program should be compiler contributors.

  • If fwend, why pitbull shaped?

  • what does github copilot do? ELI20ish

  • Don't even know what you're talking about... but hopefully all (them) agree that more federation is bestest federation.

  • It's like 9/11 or Reichstag fire. It doesn't have to be under preplanned direct US command, for it to be the great opportunity to push through a ballroom, or inflict more fascist budget items. The best line is that "he was there to harm rapist pedophile traitors. Mr Trump, why do you think that meant you?" which is actually only evidence to charge him with attempted assassination of president.

  • This screws over the north east with less energy. Trump/GOP likes to cancel their projects then point that them for mismanagement. North east has to import energy, and boats from TX/LA count as imports. With Jones act shipping rates.

  • This is fine! I get paid to write code that passes tests. if Format F: and recreating test environment passes the most tests...

  • Huawei's clusters have close to 4x the ram as NVIDIAs, and TFLOPs is most relevant to training. Huawei has better interconnect technology than NVIDIA, but incompatible with H200s, and so for China/friends use, it's a much better package. Price/performance of 910 vs 5090 or 6000ada is much higher at single card level. The power cost/availability in China gives them much higher potential deployment rates. Chinese cloud rates tend to be lower than the same model on US clouds.

  • 3.6 27b is probably most powerful/efficient (to size) model out there. Qwen has a history of leveraging deepseek power as well. (deepseek creating small models with Qwen as the base), and Alibaba is main hosting service for deepseek. Alibaba/Qwen in talks to invest in Deepseek, atm.

  • Huawei outperforms NVIDIA at the "cluster" level. Which are mostly turnkey systems for datacenter units. And promises truck container level cluster for next generation that is 30x the zetaflops as NVIDIA rubin cluster. China currently operates at 50% electric production capacity, and energy extremely abundant and low price, which make the per level card performance deficit irrelevant.

  • It is for inference, which is generally good at open backends. Most models done in pytorch, with backend library.

  • It's all going too slow, with Trump negotiating with himself. Iran should publicly reject Mossad agents being sent to negotiate if they want any deal/purpose to talks.

    Toronto needs to secede from OPG, or Ontario debt, or even Canada. Entirely justified by Ontario energy policy/corruption alone

    Green Ammonia systems in a container now $500/kw. At least in China. This offers simpler storage/shipment than H2 systems. Link is to Canadian company that is competitive.

    in 2025 war, Israel attacked its BFF Qatar. Patriot systems failed in such a way that they may have a kill switch that US or Israel can trigger.
