Bleeding edge processes is what Intel specializes in. Unlike Apple, they don’t need TSMC. This should have been a huge advantage for Intel. Maybe that’s why Gelsinger got the boot.

We would also need to imagine AMD fixing their software.

Apple could do it. Why can’t Intel?

Don’t forget kids expenses. Private school is $3-4k/mo each kid, private lessons could be as high as $100/hr.

I just meant that if you want to understand the tools you use as a SWE you will need to learn the relevant math to understand LLMs. Not sure if that would help with “leveraging”. Similar to any practical benefits of learning something like

They could try paying decent salaries, so people would actually want to work there.

One can argue that today’s coder needs to understand how code-generating LLMs work. Which means learning a bit of linear algebra, calculus, and probability/stats.

I have plenty of meaning and community outside of work. Unfortunately no one wants to pay me to do dumb shit at work, probably because I’m too expensive.

Maybe they didn’t think Trump would win? But yeah, those who don’t know the history are doomed to repeat it.

Good post, thank you! On an A100 80GB we get 312 teraflops per second of float16 compute and 1.5 TB/s of memory bandwidth, and this ratio comes out to roughly 208 tokens. Few thoughts: 1. One token != one byte 2. Your prompt ("E

At the same time many people stop improving after the first few years on the job, and some even get worse with time as they get lazy, or bitter, or they simply don’t adapt.

This won’t work – he wants to publish new information not already in the book.

Pretty much the same as it was 20-30 years ago: can perform any task that an average human can do.

Great example. I don’t know anything about coffee, have no idea how to make it, and no desire to learn it. If I’m ever forced to make my own coffee it would probably suck. When I want to drink coffee I go to Starbucks. Their coffee tastes g

People did care back then. This paper had jumpstarted the whole model compression field (which used to be a hot area of research in early 90s): https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.00363 Before that, in 2012, Alexnet had to be p

How is this different from simply inviting your friends for a party?

I feel like shit any time I get less than 8 hours of sleep. Usually I get 9 or 10. However a day nap of 45-60 min does help a lot when I’m at a deficit.

1% of world population have more than $1M. That will be almost 100M people globally. I don’t see how you can own anything substantial (eg datacenter, power plant, factory, etc) if you have less than 100M net worth, hence my original questio

Let’s say I have 10M in stocks. What is the optimal strategy to not end up as “have nothing poor” in an automated economy?

What will happen to those of us who are not rich but also not poor? Upper middle class with net worth between 1 and 10 million?
