It's a taxpayer's money so why wouldn't the taxpayers have a point if they think that their money is not spent best and, in the context of the global situation, not really efficient at all in making the quality of life of EU

So, after introducing the euro, and everything overnight becomes ~2x more expensive, salaries will match that trajectory and eventually also become ~2x larger, almost universally no matter the job type? Did I get your argument right? I ask

So you're saying that there are no professional therapists that can do the same bad? I think that the issue is more subtle, and as with everything, nothing is really black and white. I have, for instance, used LLMs a couple of times to

At this moment LLMs are used for much of the serious work across the globe so perhaps you will need to readjust your line of thinking. There's nothing inherently better or more trustworthy to have a person compile some knowledge than,

Obviously yes but NVIDIA Ampere/Hopper architecture has 64k 32-bit registers per SM. A100 has 108 SMs and H100 has 132 SMs so go figure - registers aren't a bottleneck.

~10x improvement "at the same hardware rental cost" over ClickHouse/DuckDB, as suggested, sounds too good to be true.

You've made several incorrect assumptions and I am not bothered enough to try to correct them so I apologize for my ignorance. I'll just say that 16ms memory tax is wildly incorrect.

Not really. Registers are irrelevant. They are not the bottleneck.

Round-trip between VRAM and GPU registers? That's what the cache hierarchies are for. I think you confused quite a bit of concepts here. Moving data to and from VRAM is ~100ns of latency. Moving data from RAM to VRAM through PCIe 5.0 i

Right. Your argument doesn't really follow. Since I cannot buy a TPU, which you agree with, then a single viable option is really only a GPU, which I _can_ buy. So, according to that, GPUs aren't really going anywhere unless there

Batching isn't about "moving weights around less". Where do you move the weights anyway once they are loaded into the GPU VRAM? Batching, as always in CS problems, is about maximizing the compute for a unit of a single round

Wouldn't batching the multiple inference requests from multiple different users with multiple different contexts simultaneously impact the inference results for each of those users?

So, what exactly is batch inference workload and how would someone running inference on local setup benefit from it? Or how would I even benefit from it if I had a single machine hosting multiple users simultaneously? I believe batching is

I do not. Even with those skills you're still looking for a lot of hours to burn in. It only happens that those skills are more or less a prerequisite for more chance of success.

I'm aware of that. Please see my other comment that already addressed your concern. The point rather was that EU strategy won't even get us so far because it doesn't have or doesn't want to have a plan.

Then please correct your comment into Berlin/SF rather than EU/US. Otherwise it sounds like you're talking uninformed nonsense.

There are 44 countries in Europe. What makes you think that your experience of getting the most of your government/taxation whatever you want to call it matches the experience of any other European country government/system?

If you want to attract the best people in the EU it's the fact, and not even for a discussion, that you have to pay them the good $$$. Those people are found in places where the most complex infrastructure software is being built. And

It's not false. Those are the people who have already proven that they have the necessary experience to build those products so the rate of success is simply much higher rather than seeking the talent elsewhere. Startups and US compani

The recipe is simple but nobody supposedly wants to do it. 1. Find all (e.g. LinkedIn) the EU-based engineers working or having worked for American cloud companies. 2. Offer them a proportional salary to join and start building the EU cloud
