Ask HN: Any good sources for learning about advances in compute power?

1 pointdottjt1 comment

With all this news about ChatGPT going on in HN, I've realised we never really see any news on the advances of compute power, which seems to be the other side of AI (arguably, more important than the models themselves from a long-term point of view)

Does anyone have any recommendations of sources for learning about the latest advances?
