  • The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, while ChatGPT, a large language model, has 175 billion parameters (often referred to as “artificial neurons” in the context of neural networks). While ChatGPT has more “neurons” in this sense, it’s important to note that these are not the same as biological neurons, and the comparison is not straightforward.

    86 billion neurons in the human brain isn’t that much compared to some of the larger 1.7 trillion neuron neural networks though.


















  • Does Intel make its main CPUs in China for those high tariffs?

    Looked it up and found this info at least:

    Key US Locations:

    Arizona (Fab 52 and 62), New Mexico (Fab 9 and 11x), and Oregon (Hillsboro) are major Intel manufacturing hubs in the US, with the new Fab 42 and 32 also being part of a larger campus in Arizona. Ohio is also a major site with construction well underway for two new leading-edge chip factories.

    Global Footprint:

    Intel also has manufacturing facilities in locations like Israel (Jerusalem, Kiryat Gat) and Ireland (Leixlip).

    Expansion and Future:

    Intel is actively expanding its global network with new fabs in Ohio, Germany, and other locations, according to Intel Newsroom and plans to make the German fab one of the most advanced in the world.


  • Automatics and other weapons and explosives already require heavy tax stamps and long approval processes. I’ve also needed a weapon multiple times in my life in multiple states. I suppose people who live in a sheltered utopia may never need one but I certainly have, along with many people I’ve known including my father. Wildlife, humans, wild dogs even in cities (pepper spray isn’t a guaranteed deterrent, but I go for switchblade first with sidearm as backup), etc.
