No way to avoid the memory cartel, even if CXMT catches up.

Each minute that a GPU isn't running is money evaporating

Wow, if only the Chinese knew that! So easy!

Matrix multiplication is one of the few operations that isn't regularly limited by memory bandwidth. BLAS implementations come with several heavily optimized, architecture-specific versions of sgemm.

Isn't the delta fed to an arithmetic coder?

Not as many as the ones that the US snatched in operation paperclip

I'd bet on the inverse: China scaling DRAM production until the price crashes, and the whole US stock market that is propped on top of that scarcity going down with it.

Prefill (GEMM) is compute bound, decode (GEMV) is memory bound.

EPYC 9965: 614GBps of 12-channel DDR5-6400

A100: 1935GBps of HBM2e

Most of those FLOPS are constrained by memory bandwidth.

A social safety net

And definitely not more evil than the workers at current Meta.

Is it? Spack has only one package that depends on chapel.

And state actor LLMs probably don't need convincing

Copy Fail was found using AI and made our last week miserable (thanks RedHat). Anyone with access to a SOTA model can point it at any package in your stack and go fish. You're underreacting.

> GabeN also had the wrong take in that it's a "supply problem" or whatever nonsense he said.

It is a supply problem. Steam regional pricing and game passes have demolished piracy in countries where people wouldn't have dreamed of paying for a game 15 years ago. And so did Netflix for a while with video, but then everyone had to jump on the bandwagon and now piracy is flourishing again.

If the image contains information required to bring up the device, why isn't that data shipped in firmware?

At some point SBCs that require a custom linux image will become unacceptable, right?

Right?

It's predatory pricing.

If any of those addresses sold a single sat the price would crash hard.

That's a genius idea, keep adding broken stuff into the standard until there's no choice but to break compatibility to fix it.

Imagine considering some bird poop staining the paint dangerous instead of the air pollution that's slowly killing you.

I can't even play the decent free games I got because I can't find them in the UI. It doesn't have sort by rating (or any other popularity metric) so you have to wade through the junk. Imagine paying for that experience...

They did try to pull a Valve and use their successful game to fund a game store that prints money.

The 9800X3D has wider everything. Decoder, execution ports, vectors, cache, memory bandwidth...

If you get the "You're absolutely right!" response from an LLM that screwed up on a field you're familiar with and still let them play with your health, you're...courageous to say the least.

You'd have to be quite tall to average an ~80cm step. 193cm (6'4") according to a quick search.

Because most ARM SBCs are still limited to whatever linux distro they added support to. Intel SBCs might underperform but you can be sure it will run anything built for x86-64.

Apple's A4 was launched 4 years before RISC-V.

Why would the market jump from one proprietary ISA to another proprietary ISA?

> They could make a systolic array TPU and software, perhaps. But it would mean abandoning 18 years of CUDA.

Tensor cores are specialized and have CUDA support.
