> machine learning is the sub field of AI. That's what I tried to explain then as well, and i brought up stuff like path-finding algorithms for route-finding (A*/heuristic-search) as an more old-school AI part, which didn'

What do you mean with "building this stuff"? As in building LLMs, or building applications on-top of them.

But why do you think this is? Like is it just the money/status that comes with calling yourself an "AI"-expert ?

If the alternative is a Linux-distro, likely UX won't be much better/more-consistent when applications use different UI kits/styles etc. Even Though Apple is doing a shitty job with their walled garden, a garden is still more

Made me instantly think of this: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/slime-mou... Something ironically self-referential about not only fungi growing (like) rail networks, but also IN rail networks.

Depends on how heavy one wants to go with the quants (for Q6-Q4 the AMD Ryzen AI MAX chips seem better/cheaper way to get started). Also the Mac Studio is a bit hampered by its low compute-power, meaning you really can't use a 100

I think the only exception is specifically for studying network/communciation-topologies. I've seen a couple clusters (ca. 10-50 Pi's) in universities for both research and teaching.

I personally just throw them at the top of my files as long block-comments, or sometimes inside/around very heavy functions. For example i often add little diagrams for when dealing with some bit-fiddly logic parts to easier visualize

As the other commenters put it, i dont think this is a huge issue. I usually use this for architecture level diagrams, and that shouldn't change often/at-all. In-case it does change, doing a new diagram is perfectly in-scope of w

Bought this couple months ago, and am now always looking for more ways to include this for inline-documentation. the fact i can export to clipboard and re-import it and reconstruct all the shapes etc. almost flawlessly is such a big win.

Funnily, they're far from being optimal for GEMM ops (especially in terms of power consumption). For GEMM you need to visit each row/vec n-times so theres a bunch of data-reuse going on, which isn't optimal for GPUs since you

Spherical harmonics are used all over the place in climate science. But two big examples are Global oscillations like NAO&ENSO (so ocean currents and atmospheric pressure mostly), and analyzing wind-patterns on the globe/sphere.
