Not commenting on Moore's law, but I don't see how the last part is true when GPU have become a main component of personal computing. They are in fact becoming more and more important with the need for AI inference and always more

Saying they didn't lie but that they misled the public is really nitpicky. They betrayed the trust that people had in their opinion. Maybe it was worth it to manipulate people "for their own good" but I doubt it.

It is indeed where a lot of the current research is heading to if you count self-supervision as part of weak-supervision. Self-supervised learning brought massive improvement in NLP and is bringing state of the art result in vision after so

I don't think it's a fair assessment as many researchers are disappointed that the model wasn't released. And I'm pretty sure they do understand the model size concerns. Running inference on this massive model would be a

If you want to be able to run inference in batches, you have to normalize to a given input size. It often means a square input size if you want to minimally distort both vertical and horizontal images. You can also use variable input shape

The parent comment was talking about nuclear being subsidized in France and your example is in the UK. My point was about France if it was not obvious.

What do you count as subsidies to nuclear power? Wind and solar have been heavily subsidized in France through buying it at an above market rate. [0] 0: http://www.bsi-economics.org/1016-evolution-prix-electricite...
