Love the idea of discounts based on model error. ”this one doesn’t know what butterflies are, it’s on sale for 8% off”

Beef and gas prices are up due to policy (tariffs, war) If anything, it shows how effective government policy can be. Ironically higher beef and gas prices are quite good for reducing carbon emissions.

Anyone have guesses about how a transiting primordial black hole would effect a Sun like star? Paper is about tidal forces inducing supernova in white dwarfs. For that matter how might it effect sea tides?

I read it because Elon Musk mentioned it as a favorite. It’s a good book and you can see how the concept of controlling ubiquitous tech is a thing he tries to do

In a data center that is power constrained but not space constrained they could build out new racks and flip the power from the old racks. Wonder if this will lead to moderately used server GPUs on the secondary market someday.

This will probably work well with SotA planning and local chip implementation. I see them being like cars. Cost a few 10k on credit, buy a new one when the old one goes bad or marketing convinces you to upgrade.
