This genuine technological breakthrough is real and should be a main topic when discussing Tesla.
Admittedly, the road to a working version of FSD has been a bumpy one, with many overly optimistic timelines, but now it's finally here, and it is almost completely ignored.

It's a heat battery for district heating. Could be other sources than electricity, e.g. municipal garbage incineration plant.

SpaceX acknowledged the use that has apparently moved to cut service for some scam camps: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpd2e5541d1o

That is a good question. https://starlink.com/map shows neither Myanmar, Thailand or Laos having coverage.
Perhaps they were using the "roam" version (https://starlink.com/roam), which seems to work pretty much anywhere.

Despite all the fanfare, it is actually still DoD.
The decree merely allowed the use of DoW as a "secondary title".

Any idea what "output token efficiency" refers to?
Gemini Flash is billed by number of input/output tokens, which I assume is fixed for the same output, so I'm struggling to understand how it could result in lower cost. Unless of course they have changed tokenization in the new version?

Thanks. This comment above does mention ASRock: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43112594
On the other hand, dmidecode output in the article shows:
Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: 0H3K7P

Were you able to identify the manufacturer and model/revision of the failing motherboards? This would be extremely helpful when shopping for seconds hand servers.

> but avoid LangChain like the plague
Can you elaborate on this?
I have a proof-of-concept RAG system implemented with LangChain, but would like input before committing to this framework.

Take the announcement with a grain of salt. From German physicist Sabine Hoffenfelder:
> The particular calculation in question is to produce a random distribution. The result of this calculation has no practical use. > > They use this particular problem because it has been formally proven (with some technical caveats) that the calculation is difficult to do on a conventional computer (because it uses a lot of entanglement). That also allows them to say things like "this would have taken a septillion years on a conventional computer" etc. > > It's exactly the same calculation that they did in 2019 on a ca 50 qubit chip. In case you didn't follow that, Google's 2019 quantum supremacy claim was questioned by IBM pretty much as soon as the claim was made and a few years later a group said they did it on a conventional computer in a similar time.

Neat. I am curious what notable differences there are between Modal and Tailscale.

The conversation is up on Gemini still in its entirety: https://gemini.google.com/share/6d141b742a13
Nothing out of the ordinary, except for that final response.

Interesting. Do you know if your tool supports conversions resulting in multiple files, such as HLS and its myriad of timeslice files?

And, thankfully, high-voltage systems are extremely well-managed in EVs.
Evidence in support of this claim is that EVs are statistically 4-5 times less likely to catch on fire compared to ICE vehicles.
