Considering Musk's power and the shrinking moat of OpenAI you would think he would be create something better with government support - or as some new department.


It certainly doesn't say much about his confidence in X.ai keeping up with OpenAI


Congrats Paras.


I've been waiting for this to get good enough. Can any of these apps do passthrough of USB/webcam?


Looks like it's not supported in RustDesk or Parsec, but there are other tools that will do it [1].

It seemed to be some capacity issue with the CDNs. When I stopped and restarted the stream it worked again. Perhaps they do not use real time multi-cdn switching.


I get that ambulate just means to walk around but it gives the sense to something medical (as an American).


That was my reaction as well to seeing the name. It makes me think of both ambulance and amputate, which are not good associations.


The usage of the word is reminiscent of ambulatory which has a distinctive medical jargon connotation to my ear.


Don't we have to move to GaN anyway?


If you think sand usage is primarily silicon power electronics you're missing a lot.


I know the California CC system pretty well and have taken a few courses. In tech, there are usually two main paths: either transferring to a 4-year school for CS/Engineering, or specializing in something like Cybersecurity, AWS, Cisco, etc. For Software Engineering, there’s not gonna be any employer demand for those students at CCs since most people going that route tend to transfer to a university and their education/experience isn't really complete for that role.


PCIe bifurcation - so splitting one of the x16 slots into two x8 or similar.


Worth mentioning - this also cuts the available bandwidth to each card by 50%.


While you're technically correct, assuming you're using PCIe 4.0 or higher, the performance difference between x8 and x16 is practically zero.


Is this because the graphics cards are not using all available PCIe bandwidth? Or why?


Yes. In fact, even running a video card in a 4x slot (again, assuming PCIe 4.0) results in only a modest (5-20%, depending on what you’re doing) drop in speeds.


Even for training?


I haven’t done a ton of training but everything I’ve heard and read indicates that PCIe 4.0 8x provides enough bandwidth for just about any application. You might see a negligible drop in performance, but no more than a few percent.


Intel was getting something like $20 billion from the CHIPS act - but it seems like by the time the fabs would have been ready TSMC will already have them beat to 1.4nm/a14 (also using High NA EUV). Intel has just consistently failed to execute whereas TSMC has been fairly close to schedule.


Their email systems are managed by Google Workspace.


Then the obvious solution is to instead have them managed by their CS department. And fire whoever previously thought it should be otherwise.


They would probably crack down on storage more if they had to run their own storage arrays.


Why? 5GB of storage is like five cents of storage.


You can’t be serious? I can’t think of a bigger waste of time.


For the people who write the SMTP RFCs and teach students how to implement them to have hands-on experience operating a mail system?


This wouldn't be RFC work, this would be sysadmin work.

Probably not the worst use of time, but you'd need to find interested students and faculty year-over-year.


Students do worse for less money in the search of internships all time.
