Haven’t heard of one good reason why aid via land crossings is being prevented from entering Gaza. The US literally built a pier to deliver aid when this is not an island country. Mass starvation, transferring of population (settlers in the

Saying X is fine because everybody else is doing it is tiresome. It’s implied in the original argument that X is not okay regardless of how many entities are doing X, so obviously it isn’t okay in the other circumstances as well.

I’m angry about this but it does seem to me like this court will actually reject civil asset forfeiture in general based on what gorsuch said after about it. These hearings are more of a procedural thing after assets have been seized.

I’ve mostly been staying at Hyatt hotels but what I like there is that TVs have chrome cast built in so I can cast from my phone, that could be a potential solution here?

I used to support the death penalty, but inevitably it is used by the state against the vulnerable, poor, and politically weak. If there’s even the possibility of one innocent person being killed, it is a perverse justice.

I’m just estimating here from public numbers. My point is the power consumption could be 100W on that workload and the groq chip could be 1k, both ridiculously optimistic. The whole system is still crazy expensive. H100s will not have laten

Peak H100 power consumption is 700W. Average power consumption of the groq card (from their own website) is 240W. With 576 chips it just doesn’t look good. How much is that millisecond perf gain worth it to end users? That said I think thei

The smoke and mirrors around groq are finally clearing. Truth is that their system is insanely expensive to maintain. hundreds (> 500 iirc) of chips to get wild tokens/s but the power and maintenance expense is crazy high for that

Honestly I’m tired of landlords expecting good returns, I’m glad they had this wake up call that yes, in fact there is risk in every investment. What really irks me is when they prefer vacancy to lowering rents.

I feel like this can be trivially worked around by fine tuning from the initially copyrighted weights. They’re not demanding copyright, they’re just keeping them secret. If Meta keeps releasing high quality open source models, I don’t expec

You can’t scale horizontally forever because of communication. I think HBM would provide a lot more flexibility with the number of chips you need.

Describing tech platforms as a place where users work for no pay is quite an exaggeration. Apple and Microsoft for example do not conform to this business model. In fact the business models amongst the tech giants are so varied to group the

I feel like google acquired a ton of robotics companies and then completely failed at productizing any of them. They’ve sold them off now I think so I don’t think this fits with anything they’re doing.

A DSL lib is a subset of “all possible function libs” and there is no such thing as a function library which is a host language primitive by definition. You can’t be a primitive of a language if you’re implemented in a library for that lang

No lol not all libraries are DSLs, we’re talking specifically about libraries which provide functions allowing you to construct a computational graph. These libraries are DSLs, not host language primitives.

It’s a DSL by definition because a function provided by an external library cannot be a language primitive in the host language, or else it wouldn’t need to be an external library! Unless we’re talking about a LISP but we’re not.

He’s saying that PyTorch in essence is a DSL embedded in python which introspects itself to perform automatic differentiation. Libraries can’t normally peek at what ops are performed on variables in a given language, only the compiler/
