The water use comes from evaporative cooling, not liquid cooling.

Liquid cooling pulls heat away from the chips. Evaporative cooling takes it out of the building.

There are alternatives, but evaporative cooling is very energy efficient.

> quadratic time in N!

I read this as O( (N!)^2 ).

What makes you think there was no competition?

Electricity? It's probably one of the best places in the world to have a solar+battery installation?

It just needs to be anything that will force OpenAI to IPO.

They count as a different type of failure.

We knew what to do but screwed up hard is a operational failure and we didn't plan for it is a design/planning failure.

The people who are hurt might not care, but understanding the root cause is important to address them.

Are these the current prices or the prices at the time the models were released?

They had contracts which forced them to buy Global Foundries even lasting into Zen 2 (I believe they used it with the IO die).

Layoffs might have to with what a person is working (project is no longer business priority, just cutting based on performance might lead to delays) or what team a person is working on (whole org gets the axe).

How is 1 false? Log improvement means for 10x the cost the model is 2x as good. For 100x the cost, the model is 3x as good.

Not a curve to be happy about TBH. You need to simultaneously find big efficiency wins and drive up costs substantially to get 4-5x improvements, and it is probably impossible to maintain good year on year improvements after the first 2-3 years when you get all the low hanging fruit.

Go stacks are dynamically copied and resized. Stack overflow is not a concern.

I think the discussions in these threads show how accurate the framing of this article is. You have some people celebrating Google and friends (slowly) leaving the C++ ecosystem and those that continue to emphasize the flaws that have driven companies away from it in recent history (safety being #1) on the list.
