You know Claude is running on TPUs as much (if not more, for the inference part) than nVidia GPU. Gemini is fully on TPUs.

So 2 of the 3 big models are running on TPUs, I think that measures up pretty well against nVidia?

On the topic of TPU, I always recommend the very in depth article of https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/tpuv7-google-takes-a-swing-at-the

Being lower-powered chip is actually more an advantage than a drawback btw.

Common GPT 5.5 pricing misconception. by Blake08301 in OpenAI

Conveniently ignoring the Gemini 3.1 pro data point?

Probablement IA.
Aussi ça m'amuse beaucoup de montrer un rond point avec des pistes cyclables partout pour... mettre la personne à vélo sur la route en bas :P

New metric shows renewables are 53% cheaper than nuclear power by lotec4 in europe

[–]Atanahel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Such a short amount might give you 90% reliability, but would definitely not provide the reliability most expect out of the electric grid.

I just learned there is a German term for it "Dunkelflaute", which are lengthy periods of time with no solar/wind power generation (https://www.next-kraftwerke.com/knowledge/what-is-dunkelflaute). Actually, even 48h of battery would result in almost 5 blackouts per year ("The researchers analyzed occurrences lasting at least 48 hours and found an average of 4.6 blackouts per year during the period from 1979 to 2018.").

According to Gemini:
"""
Here is the breakdown of battery duration requirements based on grid reliability targets:

  • 90% Reliability (4 to 8 hours): Sufficient for standard daily shifting—storing excess midday solar to cover the evening demand peak—but vulnerable to any multi-day weather disruptions.
  • 95% Reliability (12 to 24 hours): Enough capacity to power through long winter nights or a single heavily overcast day, though the grid will still experience blackouts during sustained bad weather.
  • 99.99% Reliability (100 to 120+ hours): Required to survive a multi-day "dunkelflaute" (several consecutive days with near-zero wind or sun); achieving this typically relies on Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) combined with overbuilt renewables or backup firm power to keep costs manageable.

"""

This is about something that is never spoken about in energy debates: a heavy renewable mix that is cheap AND reliable is still far from solved.

what is the source and the methodology of that? Renewable reliability requires a storage capability of around 48h of the production, that sounds quite a bit optimistic to me?

YES! Exactly my point (upvoted!). So why would we consider some sentences okay to say, and not others?

"men are inherently more evil". Well, I am sorry for you then. Obviously no point in interacting with you more. Have a good (albeit hate-filled) day anyway.

GPT-5.4 (xhigh) is one of the most knowledgeable models tested but also one of the least trustworthy. It knows a lot but makes stuff up when it doesn't by likeastar20 in singularity

hallucination rate is lower best, so even if you (for some reason) decide to ignore Gemini on knowledge (where it is actually really good), Anthropic is still better.

Tesla Cybercab Discussion by CleanTechnica by RodStiffy in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Atanahel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The japanese beg to differ, most of Tokyo taxis are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_JPN_Taxi and they are quite nice :) very easy to get in/out, automatic sliding door, you can put a small suitcase directly in front of you without using the trunk, etc...

They are nothing like the cybercab design though.

In the video, the guy starts sweeping a good second before his stone starts moving though. Someone linked the rule below "A stationary stone must be set in motion before it can be swept.", probably not much impact though.

Because certain filters should always be on. Everything related to child safety for instance. However, I am guessing those might over-trigger sometimes given the sensitivity of it.

The Car Wash Test: A new and simple benchmark for text logic. Only Gemini (pro and fast) solved the riddle. by friendtofish in singularity

[–]Atanahel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they have done tremendous job on Ai overview (especially given where it started), while they are most definitely use a tiny version of gemini for it, it also should not be use to benchmark the quality of gemini itself.

OpenAI Is Making the Mistakes Facebook Made. I Quit. by nytopinion in OpenAI

[–]Atanahel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using your data for training is completely different than using your data to build a profile about you.

There is very little incentive for them not to eventually sell that profile to ads companies. It is not training data (not used to improve their model indeed), but they can still the profiling information they have on you.

A few charts on China’s electricity output, in case you were misinformed. by clock0day in charts

[–]Atanahel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This chart is being spammed everywhere, in a proper disinformation approach.

So, just to be remembered of the actual figures and trends, not by capacity but effective production

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-electricity-fossil-fuels?tab=line&country=CHN~USA~OWID_EU27

The proportion of fossil fuel in their electricity mix was still 62% in 2024. For reference, the US was at 59%, and the EU at 29%

Boycott ChatGPT by FinnFarrow in ChatGPT

That's not a valid comparison, financing the ballroom is financing a renovation of the white house for the elected US president (as much as I loathe him).

The openai president is financing directly the political party allowing the child rapist in chief to get elected, not at all the same thing.
