You need ability, means (as in -- have the money to spend time on it), and motive. Many people have the ability. Many people have the means. (And there is some overlap, but the overlap isn't that large.) Few people have the motive. The

There are a number of issues with this comment. One of them is that debt and saving are just sides of the same coin. More importantly, everybody can see that debt for investment allows more growth. Just think about how many more people can

This is an interesting question, so here's a bit of speculation. Banter is a matter of wit. You could call it an intellectual pursuit. Blue collar jobs are primarily not intellectual pursuits. They need their own kind of smarts, but th

It actually isn't, that's what makes it fused. If you separate the operations like that, the intermediate result is rounded. The final result is then often different from the result of the FMA, which doesn't do the intermedia

A single Zen5 core can do 32 single precision FMAs per clock. That's using SIMD, but so is Nvidia for all intents and purposes. Those "cuda cores" aren't truly independent: when their execution diverges, masking is used

Nvidia's marketing is misleading. Those "cuda cores" are more SIMD lanes than cores. Number of SMs is a more appropriate equivalent to CPU core count.

Yeah, a lot of it is just market forces. I guess going to four channels is costly for the desktop PC space and that's why that didn't happen, and laptops just kind of followed suite. But now that Apple is putting pressure on the m

It's a bit more subtle than that. In Germany, crossing at a red light is very frowned upon. Many Germans even wait at a red pedestrian light in the middle of the night when there's zero traffic. Crossing streets in places without

Nit: That's not the defining property of capitalism. The defining property of capitalism is that the means of production are privately owned, as opposed to e.g. market socialism.

On your last point: I think it's useful to think in multipliers and desired outcomes. Do you want the best doctors involved in care for patients and training juniors, or do you want them to spend time jockeying for a position in the hi

It's also not really true. Consider a problem like edit distance, which is solved using an n^2 dynamic program. What are the n separate problems there? Sure, you're filling out a table with a nested loop, but that's a very me

There's code for training and inference that could be open-source. For the weights, I agree that open-source doesn't make sense as a category. They're really a kind of database. Perhaps a better way to think about it is in te

Computers are not beings with 10 fingers that can be up or down. Powers of two are more natural in a binary computer. Then add the fact that 8 is the smallest power of two that allows you to fit the Latin alphabet plus most common symbols a

The second L in LLM stands for "language". Nothing of what you're describing has to do with language modeling. They could be using transformers, sure. But plenty of transformers-based models are not LLMs.

This honestly feels like the kind of thing where 20 years from now we'll be more aware of the side effects and people will shake heads about how stupid "we" were today. If this is going to be an exception, it'd be truly

That is understood. However, it is generally too hard (in C and C++) for compilers to tell whether you were wanting to do the thing at any one particular place. So compilers have two options: Assume that you never do the thing, or always as

Regarding compound statements returning values: There are a number of languages which have that, including Rust. Ironically, it made me wish for a reversed form of the construct, i.e. something like { ...; expr } --> x; /&

In the usual model of how these problems are defined, problem inputs must be represented in binary, so the edge lengths are discrete by definition. What problem formulation do you have in mind?

Not sure why you feel the need to call out Nvidia. Interpolation of 3D textures has been a standard feature in graphics APIs for a very long time. But the author is correct in that this isn't specifically geared towards SDFs.

So no doubt modern software is ridiculously bloated, but ROCm isn't just a GPU driver. It includes all sorts of tools and libraries as well. By comparison, if you go and download the CUDA toolkit as a single file, you get a download fi

Obviously there have been ports of DOOM to GPUs. This port is different in that it runs the software rendered DOOM in a ROCm kernel, with RPC callbacks for OS functions.
