I'm keeping an eye on Hailo for this purpose. I think the future is small embedded AI systems, not massive data centers.

Neural nets and LLMs are not doing complex math, they're doing very large amounts of simple math. Quantum computing is probably not going to accelerate our current NN tech.

This is why GPUs are excellent for AI applications, they are built around the goal of doing large amount of pixel shader computations, which is pretty simple math. You could do the math to shade a pixel by hand, for example.

Pretty sure semis have better front vis than many modern trucks, especially GMCs.

It's active, but poorly policed and filled with scams. I've almost given up on it.

A lot of the military loves deployments. You get extra pay that's untaxed, which help you buy that new jeep renegade. Deployments also allow you to get over the dreaded e6 hump and become a platoon leader.

Are 401ks subject to disclosure? Also, 175k isn't that much when you live in DC. I know that's a joke to a lot of people, but DC is crazy expensive.

That's a senate page, but it might still apply. The TSP is not subject to disclosure, neither is an IRA in normal situations. I think AOCs retirement probably doesn't have to be disclosed and hopefully is pretty stuffed.

I wonder why? Most of our peer nations have some kind of government medical system, why are we so afraid?

Need to get the money out of politics...
