At some point I imagine they will be writing their own software for the entire training and inference stack. Kernels, libraries, why not? With compute so constrained it must be beneficial to optimize everything as much as possible

CinderX isn't generally faster unless you use "Static Python" which is a major change in how programs are written compared to typical python code.

This is fine for your own application code, but it doesn't do anything for the libraries you pull in for your project. I don't think that sprinkling Cython code in all library code is going to be a popular solution, especially for those not performance focused. The idea behind a JIT is to be a general performance solution not requiring changes in existing code.

What a shame. The alternative is CinderX? It's slower unless you stick to "Static Python" which is not most python code in the wild.

Very awesome. FYI Voyager(1,2) should be oriented with the big antenna dish pointed towards Earth.
The announcement says they're rolling it out over the next 24 hours or so. I think it's reasonable to do a slow-roll-out release for one of the most used products on the internet.

> Open-source the desktop client so the community can build on its full graphical experience, not just download it. An early desktop client already exists as a binary download, but it isn't open source yet — it depends on some proprietary components, including Epic's internal design system. We're working to make all of it available in the open so that the client can ship as source alongside the rest of Lore. Lore is an open project, so it is important that the desktop client — which will be one of the main ways many people will interact with Lore — is also fully open so that the community is free to review, extend, and shape it.

This is misleading between Trump and Biden, 2020 saw huge employment cuts and Biden gets all of the positive growth of the recovery. Jobs #s actually grew quite considerably 2016-2019.

Ideally us rich countries would help pay for overhauling of infrastructure in developing nations since each $ goes way further to reduce emissions there compared to at home.

Fair? Maybe not, but IMO it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is gross emissions. The effects of a warming planet will not be fair. We should be looking to reduce/eliminate emissions wherever they are happening.

Re:What a year of solar and batteries saved us in 2025
on Tuesday January 13, 2026 @12:12PM (#46604031)
That's not really apples-to-apples comparison. The Tesla batteries are AC coupled so they work with an (AC coupled) microinverter array. For a DC coupled battery you have to have a hybrid inverter and DC couple the batteries.
Your point that they are overpriced still stands though.

Each core is multiples faster than a 90's CPU for various reasons as well. I think if you look at an entire rack it's easily a multiple of a 90's datacenter.

How many batteries is that? If we're talking solar and you have say a 300MW datacenter and you need it to operate for 12 hours without sun you need at least two of the largest battery install in the world[1] at 1700MWh. That doesn't factor cloudy days.

Re:NIST was 5 μs off UTC after last week's power cut
on Monday December 22, 2025 @06:23PM (#46360471)
That doesn't quite match what the wikipedia page says:
> The official abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time is UTC. This abbreviation comes as a result of the International Telecommunication Union and the International Astronomical Union wanting to use the same abbreviation in all languages. The compromise that emerged was UTC, which conforms to the pattern for the abbreviations of the variants of Universal Time (UT0, UT1, UT2, UT1R, etc.).

Fun fact, early hand written lyrics were "purple haze, Jesus saves...". It was a recollection of a dream where he was walking under water. The connection to acid is more so by interpretation of the audience.
