One of the most important aspects of modern LLMs that is most impressive is how improving in one domain doesn't harm overall performance in other domains nearly as much as it used to. This means that LLMs are able to effectively absorb the knowledge of multiple expert humans

Scam alert! Called me 1-415-222-9958 claiming to be https://t.co/ZNkCXMaNs7 support - number on my account had been changed. When I asked them to verify they said "look the number up its a twitter support number." Which it is - so they are spoofing that. Sent a password

Feast your eyes on two metric tons of West Virginia graphite that will be slowing down neutrons in our first nuclear reactor by next year! Baked at over 2500C by Amsted Graphite Materials, it’s the first reactor order of American-made, nuclear-grade, graphite in over a decade.

Borne of Fire, the Strength to Contain Fission. - Over 6 tons of American Forged Nuclear Reactor Pressure Vessel from @ScotForge! Coming to @RadiantNuclear’s headquarters for reactor assembly later this year.

So I challenge everyone to imagine this possible future: 1) 90% of Americans can charge their EV in 10 minutes within 10 minutes of their home 2) There is an EV in each category that is same cost or cheaper off the lot than the ICE version 3) EV can be had with 400-500 miles of

Model Y Standard & Model 3 Standard are here

Turns out a lot. There is a large space of optimization to make. Ohh and I forget Walmart announced that it will install fast EV chargers at thousands of walmart and sams club stores. 90% of americans live within ~10 minutes of a walmart. ....

Take a car platform we have plus a battery cell we already make and make a car. The market is now big enough that people can invest in second generation ground-up builds. If we build an EV from scratch and battery chemistry optimized for an EV what can we do? ...

This is a platform shift like the shift from web->mobile. The first mobile games were straight ports. Nobody built "touch first" games because the market was too small. First gen EVs and batteries have all been "straight ports"...

3) CATL and BYD each announced 5 minute charge batteries 4) CATL announced something even more clever: a battery optimized for cost alone at the expense of charge speed. This is a "range extender" battery that only gets used on long road trips. ...

no power windows, infotainment, door locks, climate control. single-motor/rear-wheel drive. Small so lighter, means smaller battery. I'd *love* to see a total parts count on this v.s. a F150. 2) Ford announced lithium-manganese batteries with longer range/low costs ...

EVs are the massive disruption staring us in the face. A few things announced in the last week: 1) https://t.co/GQBEOAGDwx announced a $20k EV pickup. They've capitalized on the idea that EVs have many fewer parts than ICE vehicles - so why not push that to the extreme: ..

My multi-decade run as extended family IT guy may be at an end. @ChatGPTapp video mode walking me through arcane Windows11 driver and settings debugging was impressive. Amazing work @sama

Yes we can build stuff in the US. https://t.co/BBJ77DArg8

This work is super cool. https://t.co/dA2OaX63G0

@schrep of @gigascale has been at the center of major tech shifts—from @Meta’s AI lab to deep tech and energy. We talked about AI’s future, why energy is a huge opportunity, and what he learned from Mark Zuckerberg about scaling tech. Listen to Episode 470 now!

Doing scaling hard tech office hours RIGHT NOW. You can also ask questions here if you have them :) https://t.co/Iiq0xOe3Dd

Demand for inference time compute will be nearly infinite at the right price. That price is chip cost x datacenter cost x cooling/energy cost. Right now #1 is the dominant factor (hello Nvidia!) but will move to #3.

on DeepSeek: 1) We don't actually know the training costs - likely much higher than reported (still impressive work!) 2) The big news is they shared the work so everyone can benefit. Awesome algorithmic improvements that move the field forward 3) Reasoning models use a lot more
