Yes, anthropic and openai have really been brought to their knees and ipos cancelled because of the legal consequences of obtaining their training data.

What sort of algorithms do you run on SAR images?

classic! Used the same thing to solve for the rigid transform of an April tag for a calibration problem years ago.

This is kind of a bummer. I have a nice co2 meter. another reason to be skeptical of everything.

Thankfully all this stuff has been or is being killed by ebikes and escooters which are vastly better technology.

The hardware has some open documentation. You don't actually need to read the kernel source to find some of the method documentation or qmd formats. See https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-doc/blob/master/classes/c...

You actually can! See libultrahdr and all images that come out of pixel phones.

I think I was more referring to the switches with sfp and the transceivers themselves. I have never tried to get something "low end".

So tell me... how much did you spend? Is fiber doable without insane money.

Cooling doesn't really take more energy than warming, because cooling is warming if you have a heat pump. Are you not just observing here the usage of fossil fuels for heating, which is extremely common?

unfortunately this trolling has caused trump to try to halt all large offshore wind projects in the United States in federal land grants. it's terrible.

there's 3000 waymos running around.soon there will be 10000. This prediction may really only be five years off. Do you find it unrealistic for there to be 100000 waymo vehicles by 2032?
