I was about to link you what I thought was best coverage of the priority I knew about, https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.278.5341.1270 but now I see that's in the second edit of the accepted answer

Fwiw I certainly didn't mean to say this is unique to physics, I'm just not qualified to comment on other fields. Furthermore you make a good point, the hero worship is fruitful. Anecdotally I'd say a full third of my undergr

A thing of beauty is a joy forever - John Keats Honestly, physics is so full of pretension and hero worship. Even among seasoned lecturers there's a tendency to mythologise the progress of the art by making it sound like all the grea

Don't forget "structured sparsity" where two out of every four weights must be zero. Another trick that Nvidia still happily assume for the sake of a graph or an headline figure.

This satire is too good to be detectable at a glance, I can only hope it doesn't get greyed out of existence.

I think it's particularly egregious that they use such a lossy encoding. I can't read the hanzi, but at least "Hùn yuán" would have been more helpful, or even "Hu4n yua1n" would have enabled me to pronounce it
