Curious, how do you deal with hallucinations for important stuff ?

That is the direct GDP contribution of IT/allied services. The indirect societal contribution is significant. Most real estate in big cities, transportation, food and other services rely on the IT industry. Expect a lot of pain in India when this is impacted.
On the other hand, it would be fun to explore these on device SLMs on a more capable phone with extra ram/storage.
My experience with RVV (i am aware of vector architecture history, just using it as an example)so far indicates that while it is not the greatest thing, it is not that bad either. You play with what you have!!
Yes, compared to regular SIMD, it is a step up in complexity but nothing a competent SIMD programmer cannot reorient to. Designing a performant hardware cpu is another matter though - lot of (micro)architectural choices and tradeoffs that can impact performance significantly.
What has intelligence (let alone superintelligence) or lack of, got to do with the last two. All these discussions about AGI seems to have reduced what it means to be a human being to a token generator.
How swiftly the strained honey of afternoon light flows into darkness
and the closed bud shrugs off its special mystery in order to break into blossom
as if what exists, exists so that it can be lost and become precious
Your first part may be right, however using the term Luddite as a pejorative without understanding what they meant or stood for (given the social context) is a sign of ignorance.
The primary reason is not that it relieves us of the disappointment, but that worrying about the outcome increases our anxiety and impacts our action which hampers the outcome.
Like the sibling comment said, I should be able to choose to be able to pair my phone with my car.
There is no winner take all in an ecosystem. If it happens, that ecosystem collapses !!
It is strange that you use this as an example yet fail to understand it fully.
Nature is a complex system ... with adaptive feedback. Every process is a cycle - has feedbacks that amplifies/regulates it. Yes there are apex predators, but there is no winner take all in an ecosystem. Living beings coexist.
sigh Cash is the barrier for interest rates going negative for too long. sigh
Similar , however I see them more as extreme greed (for power/control) and technological hubris.
Interesting how people interpret things differently based on their life experiences. I feel this is what strong advocates of objective facts and EMH tend to miss. People have the same input data, however the interpretations are different based on the (hidden) internal state.
I keep wondering, what does the richest man in the world want more ? Why this ? I find it a very revolting way to live.
Even waste , inefficiencies ? That is setting yourself up for a big collapse too. One needs to look at it from a more resilient, sustainable perspective, like a biological system.
The issue is memory bandwidth. These techniques indeed help you save multiplier area however the performance is still bandwidth limited - you'd need to be able to feed more data per cycle to increase performance.
One thing the paper doesn't talk about is energy. For DNN, at the network level the energy consumed by integer macs is not that high. Localizing data computation would have a much more impact on energy reduction than optimizing MACs.
You and I have a very different understanding of stoicism. Stoicism's concept of attachment is much more closer to a Daoist/Buddhist one. They don't advocate renouncing the world in fact the opposite - how to live fully. Just that don't cling to things - especially the results as a lot of factors that affect it are not under our control and when things don't happen the way we were forcing them to happen, resentment and anger follows. This can be applied to work, relationship, parenting. It is quite practical.
It is fascinating that these two different cultures developed similar philosophies around the same time in history.
One needs to let go of the medieval/modern interpretation of stoicism which creates such resentment and approach it from a more eastern perspective.
It's a tradeoff. What we call progress is actually a tradeoff for what we value and prioritize more. It necessarily doesn't have to be good - just a state of the world we create.
Or broken. The latter has a higher a probability.
This is pretty naive, one dimensional thinking. Making things efficient requires deep systems understanding and lack of which is on display here (Chesterton's fence). And one can achieve it reasonably for physical/technical things, however dismantling social processes that have evolved over the years for variety of reasons indicates neither the capability nor the desire to improve them.
You see, we are trading improvements in some aspects to that of another.
The thing is you cannot separate the benefits these technological advancements bring with the problems they create. The rate of technological change is much more rapid than our ability as a society to adapt to it. This is one of the source of friction as the negative effect become real only later.
There is no physical law that says technology has to improve - it is our quest, or drive to seek it, we choose it, every time. And I say this as someone who is part of this.
If you are adding n terms using an adder tree, the 1 feeds to the carry in of the next level ( it is simply a concatenation since the carry term is shifted left by 1). Only thw final carry propagate adder will have the add with 1.
You feed the partial products into a carry-save adder tree and choose a level which minimizes the delay and the extra flop area/power. I am not sure about the pentium technology but whatever the area, it might be comparable to the x3 multiplier
There is an implicit add in the x3 multiplier circuit that increases the delay which was deemed acceptable than the radix-4 delay. Considering all this, I strongly believe latency was a hard constraint (may be for SW perf).
When scaling saturates, less computationally expensive models would benefit more.
