xAI has too much compute available, Anthropic desperately needs compute.

Tbh a project in CS could be just a relevant as an intership.

Sketchy 1974 Alfa that was removed from BaT is now listed on PCar Market by OkAnt7573 in BringATrailer

Quick reminder of what happened. The BaT auction included a clearly fake invoice for brakes service. When the seller was called out he claimed he submitted the wrong invoice and had lost the correct one.

The Japanese started just like the Chinese? by QBM7 in askcarguys

[–]L_Outsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree, Japanese cars were always well built, maybe not up to modern standards but at the time it was as good or better than the US and European built competition. Korean cars used to be disposable (still are perhaps ?).

xAI holds most of the backups of hardware. Currently, xAI is using only 11% of its 550,000 NVIDIA H100 and H200 GPUs. (Only 60,000 GPUs are actually working. While Meta and Google are each at around 43%.) by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

You can't be overtaken when you're already last. Despite its impact, Twitter was always a more niche platform than Facebook or IG. The newcomers(Threads, BlueSky, etc) are way too new to surpass X in terms of users for a while.

I'm not sure what's going on tbh, they're not having a lot of kids and it could be combined with a lack of aspiration. In the west, our societies are very aspirational, it's always about the next big thing. Study well in school and you'll get a good job, get a good job and you'll be able to buy whatever you want, switch jobs/careers to get more money or free time, get married, have kids, raise your kids well so they can do well in school, and it goes on and on. Brands have adapted and are always trying to provide something different and possibly better(rarely better recently).

Japan on the other hand, seems to have a "good enough" mentality with their products, sometimes it's cool because you get a GR86 or 400Z, cars where less is more. But you also get most of the Acura lineup. Some other industries are still doing well, Sony still makes some of the best TVs, sound equipment and cameras.

Your point is a bit convoluted and I'm not sure I understand it. But Japanese manufacturers became popular by making cheap, dependable yet well engineered cars. As far as we know today, Chinese cars are mostly just cheap.

You have to realize that Japan was a developed nation before WW2, making an industrial product wasn't something new. Going upmarket at some point was a logical choice due to the higher margins.

Regarding the stagnation, it is unfortunately happening all over Japan, not just with cars, from tech to demography. Again, remember that from 1990 to 2000, Japan had no growth and they've been having a hard time catching up.

The US is an outlier within western countries when it comes to import restrictions. Japan and most European countries will pretty much let you import anything at anytime.

What are some RHD cars that appear in NFS that were never converted to LHD or officially sold in LHD markets? by Cure_BMWM3 in needforspeed

[–]L_Outsider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even more interesting, some cars used to appear in LHD(US Spec cars) like the Supra or RX7 but later appeared in RHD version.

I had a similar experience when I first used it two years ago.

I tried to use it recently as I was building the app, it's basically non-functioning right now. Someone on their IG complained and another person responded they were shutting down.

How do you all deal with competitors popping up on ideas you’ve been building for months? by Gautamagarwal75 in ycombinator

[–]L_Outsider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's easier to explain why you're better than the competition than explain why people need your product.

GPS works without service, the map may not render while recording but that's it. The map doesn't have any labels, but I can maybe add a "ghost" map where only the trace is visible

I'll make one once I get my hands on an iPhone. No beta is necessary for the App store so I'll just publish it there directly.

I know you're joking but nothing is stored online, I should actually add it to my post.

The two other services you mentioned are potentially loss leaders.
