If 1000 TFLOPS is possible to do in inference time then im speechless
But i can agree results are good but we need also to remember Samsung 8nm [rtx 3090 node] is 4 years old so 2 generations different from TSMC 5nm 4090 will be probably on 5nm node in few months and presumably will have 3x teraflops (probably 3x tf32 precision but it could be fp32 using 2/1.5x(?) more power).
(also I'm not sure about optimization it was write by apple employees and apple likes to drop open source support and focus on proprietary software)
Right now we have about 2milion UA refugees in Poland and about 2-3 million immigrants so they should be able to have normal life for a short period of time and communicate in Russian/Ukrainian in most places cause of enormous polish efforts otherwise they should go to Poland and from there you could start supporting them.
Apple is on TSMC 5nm here comment from 2years ago about 8nm samsung vs 7nm TSMC
"Hell, Samsung 8nm is really a 10nm process, it's just an extension of Samsung 10nm with a ~15-20% improvement in transistor density.
TSMC 7nm (EUV 4 layer) is nearly twice as dense as Samsung 8nm. non-EUV (first gen TSMC 7nm) is still far denser than Samsung 8nm."
Despite this m1 ultra gpu is a big step for all people intrested in apple market and DL/ML workloads
34s on ultra (64 core gpu) vs 11s on rtx 3090
So 3 times slower but taking ~4 times less power (350W 3090 70W ultra [on 48 core gpu so about 90 on 64 cores])
We all need to take Apple claims with grain of salt as they are always cherrypicked so i wont be surprise if it wont be even 3070 performance in real usage.
Julia is getting usable even in "normal" applications not only academic stuff, as person who come back after 1.5/2 years to julia i feel like i can use it again in my job cause it is a lot more stable at have a lot of new neat futures + CUDA.jl is amazing.
I hope Julia team will still explore a bit more static type inference and full AOT compilation if language got full support for AOT it'll be a perfect deal for me :).
I cant use mac with my LG OLED cause refresh is limited to 60HZ (WTF apple) i dont have access to CUDA and a few linux based python libs and ofc most games just dont work.
I can't use Linux cause 60%+ of games (multiplayer) that i play with my friends just dont work on linux or have random crashes, my Bluetooth connections are trash and smoothness of the KDE/Gnome isn't as good as windows (on nvidia gpu).
On windows everything just works. If i need linux i just install wsl2 + cuda if i need video editing software i can even use KDenlive, if i want to turn on some multiplayer game i just press play and I can play it.
ofc. I turn off all the "seciurity" stuff and block most of the microsoft ad's domain in pi.hole but still from normal use cases for most people that i know of in age of 20-30 (mostly other developers) W11/W10 is just best overall experience and everyone is using it daily. Maybe when i get older and wont spend as much time on entertainment Ill go for some GNOME based linux distro and buy 5m cable to connect my headphones.
For me it seems like fair exchange to give some data, for free and very good service that have no real competition :)
