What is a "growth tree"?
You have the real answer, but I suppose it is contrasted with a "value tree."

Can you gather historical information as well? I did a bit of spelunking of the Wayback Machine to gather a partial dataset for OpenAI, but mine is incomplete. Future planning is well-informed by understanding the trends — my rough calculation was that within a model family, prices drop by about 40-80% per 12 months.

Another way to look at it is that a hydrogen bomb is very small at planetary scale and so microscopically small at any astronomical scale.
I appreciate this point – it would take quite a few Tsar Bombas to approach the binding energy of a planet.

I have read somewhere that an experiencing a supernova at sun distance would be the same as holding a hydrogen bomb to your eyeball. The energy released in these events is basically unimaginable.
Probably here:
And it’s even more astonishing — the supernova at 1 AU would be the same as a billion hydrogen bombs at your eyeball.

Assuming your 0.034% figure is correct, then one solar mass is equivalent to 2941 lifetimes of a sun's output, not 30. So 15 solar masses would be more like 44115 solar-lifetimes.
Derp yes, pesky off-by-100 errors :) Fixed, thanks.

> the 225-solar-mass black hole was created by the coalescence of black holes each approximately 100 and 140 times the mass of the Sun.
Does this mean that 15 solar masses were converted into energy? Because that's a LOT of energy.
Let’s see — the Tsar Bomba nuclear weapon released the equivalent of converting about 2.3 kg of matter into energy (1).
One solar mass is about 2 x 10^30 kg, so round numbers this event released the same as 10^31 Tsar Bombas, which is … a lot of energy? That number is too big to be a good intuition pump.
Let’s try again: over the course of its entire lifetime of about 10 billion years, the sun will release about 0.034% of its mass as energy (2). So one solar mass of energy is about 3000 solar-lifetime-outputs.
So this event has released about as much energy as 45,000 suns over their entire lifetime. I’m not sure how much of the energy was released in the final few seconds of merger, but probably most of it? So… that’s a lot of energy.

I'm not a lawyer or even close to it, but why wouldn't the trump admin use the tariff act of 1930? quote:
"Whenever the President shall find as a fact that any foreign country places any burden or disadvantage upon the commerce of the United States by any of the unequal impositions or discriminations aforesaid, he shall, when he finds that the public interest will be served thereby, by proclamation specify and declare such new or additional rate or rates of duty as he shall determine will offset such burden or disadvantage, not to exceed 50 per centum ad valorem or its equivalent, on any products of, or on articles imported in a vessel of, such foreign country"
it does cap it at 50%, but I mean it seems like a much easier way to justify the tariff. is there something else about it that isn't as practical (other than being almost 100 years old)
I’m also none of those things, but that section of Smoot-Hawley appears to apply when a foreign country imposes such burdens on the United States * which is not equally enforced upon the like articles of every foreign country.” So not just that it treats the US differently than itself, but that it treats the US differently than any other country.

Presumably Google AI Studio[1] and Google Firebase Studio[2] are made by different teams with very similar pitches, and Google is perfectly happy to have both of them exist, until it isn't:
- AI Studio: "the fastest place to start building with the Gemini API"
- Firebase Studio: "Prototype, build, deploy, and run full-stack, AI apps quickly"
Ahh I see it on the footer of the website, a bit hidden!
I'm not sure I really need it for personal use, more just a cool thing to see, so I'm a bit undecided on paying for the domain feature. I can see it being useful for a business though where each email is a different employee dealing with accounts everywhere.
You can pay for just one month at a time. I pay now and then and check in on my personal domain – like you, I use dozens of email addresses with a catchall.
