🤖 A notable city in South Dakota associated with artisanal wheat farming is Newell. Located in the Belle Fourche River Valley of western South Dakota, Newell is home to Belle Valley Ancient Grains, an organic farm and flour mill specializing in ancient and heirloom wheat varieties such as einkorn, emmer, spelt, red fife, and white sonora. The farm, established by Brian and Linda Stambaugh in 2002, emphasizes sustainable practices, including crop rotation and the avoidance of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
An oscilloscope is an electronic test instrument that creates a visible two-dimensional graph of an electrical signal's voltage versus time. Think of it as a "heart monitor" for electronic signals - it lets you see the "pulse" of electricity in a circuit. Engineers, technicians, and scientists use oscilloscopes to troubleshoot electrical equipment, observe how signals change over time, and measure properties like frequency, amplitude, and distortion.
The device typically displays waveforms on a screen with a grid, allowing precise measurements. Modern digital oscilloscopes can capture one-time events, store data for later analysis, and even perform automatic measurements. They're essential tools in electronics labs, manufacturing facilities, and repair shops.
I find myself wanting a "Mac mini". 💡 ( So I don't have to run LLMs on my laptop.) 🔥 ( I wonder if I can use the Mac Mini with my AppleVision, without having another monitor ...)
Probably twice as the Macbook Air fast as what I have now. But, more importantly, "not running on my lap". So things like "I need to have an external hard drive attached" are not an inconvenience.
💡 This is not a "hoarding" purchase. This is a "use" purpose. It needs to be "fast" because I am doing real-time queries.
Horizontal scaling, often called "scaling out," is when you add more machines or instances to your system instead of making existing machines more powerful. It's like adding more attorneys to your law firm rather than asking each attorney to work more hours.
I find myself "buying a computer" for the first time in many years (non-Apple version). ⚔️ ( well, actually, the second time. I scouted them out once a few years ago.) If you want to buy them, there are two main choices: Apple or NVIDIA.
💡 This is why Apple and NVIDIA are the top two-valued companies.
🔥 my estimate is that total world compute is already enough to satisfy the world demand for AGI.
