What's the current state-of-the-art for network interface -> GPGPU DMA? I recall reading a while ago that NVIDIA was working on the ability to DMA directly off certain network cards into GPU RAM. Has this come to fruition? For this

Thanks. Really insightful. I've never really considered the idea of declarative AI personal assistant interactions. The concept is pretty mind-blowing actually. It's pretty damn obvious that's the way to go. i.e. You tell t
