Odd that it doesn’t run on phones. It isn’t that large, 212MB on a Mac. Phones are basically everyone’s EDC and most are quite powerful.

They just started competing against each other? No.
Anthropic is going public soon. Until September, OpenAI was going public. Neither are remotely profitable.

I hoped it would be Alpha.

Understanding the problem before attempting the solution is always a good idea.

> Sergey Brin and Larry Page came up with this precise algorithm, i.e., PageRank, which was one of the key algorithms that helped catapult Google into a household name and made them tons of money. Both Sergey and Larry were grad students at Stanford, so their coming up with such an amazing algorithm doesn’t seem surprising.
No, Brin wasn’t a co-inventor of PageRank.

I saw Dolly at Hardly Strictly in 2005. She was great.

Brookfield's police chief has defended his officer's, saying they responded appropriately given the information in front of them.
This meant there were no humans in the loop.

Zuckerberg's boat needed to be monitoring 13 (bridge to bridge) as well. It was in US waters, power driven and greater than 20 meters.

How much effect the CPU's register remapping has? Probably a lot and the article doesn't discuss it at all.
However, the Intel Xeon E-2236 was released in 2019; so it's hardly ancient and the current E-2400 isn't so different.
As for hardware register renaming, Tomasulo dates to 1967 and out-of-order ROBs were common in the 90s. I don't know that there's been any major new ideas microarchitectural ideas in register renaming since the 90s.
I still think it's a meaningful experiment but could be improved with consideration of microarchitectural features.

I was taking 5mg of Creatine and was in the ER for an unrelated reason. My metabolic panel measured creatinine at 1.34 mg/dL. A panel from last year without the supplement was a very normal 0.95. These were gummies and I wasn’t slamming water.
BTW, it tends to trash the eGFR test which relies on an unbiased creatinine reading.
