Well, sure, "green and blue background" is a proxy for "SMS capabilites and iMessage capabilities". People aren't protesting the actual primary colors of green or blue.

Anybody else feel like you enjoy the feeling of "having had done a thing" more than doing the thing?

Fair enough. I have blind spots for sketchy things done by companies that make products I like.

I think starting off with the impression of being a small wins person sticks, and people will think of you as "does small tasks well." No promos and whatnot. It's why being a loud jackass that deploys something horrendous has

I mean, if your benchmark is "not being as successful as NVIDIA", then yes, a lot of companies are failures.

Your point is bad. Ignoring the fact that Intel's bread and butter is the CPU, of which they have a dominant gaming marketshare, is obtuse.

Actually, Intel has been consistent with their specialized CPU DNN libraries and whatnot for years. MKL and the likes are pervasive in modern deep learning stacks. Pretty sure they've captured as much of the AI/ML business as CPUs

I got a nice Thinkpad T14 Gen 4 recently with a 7840U, if you like Lenovo Thinkpads. I've used many Intel ones before and I like them all equally.

The world is full people who say things like "I used an AMD video card or CPU once in 1967 and it had driver problems, never again."

We're still on Terraform 1.5 (pre-license change) and Scalr. Things are still working, fingers crossed. Was there any pain in preserving existing state files and large amounts of existing infrastructure (and terraform repos) when migra

Great take. You can't have it both ways - "let's build a community lalala!" but hostile and rejecting of the majority of issues and pull requests.

Lots of C++ inference code out there but this does training as well - impressive.

It's just a low-value analogy. Wikipedia says there's 10,000 cities in the world. Montreal cannot possibly be the exemplar of whatever this post is trying to say.

Something feels off about sticking Einops (a great utility library for tensor reshaping, been around for years) as a footnote in a "LLM 2023-2024 hype" list - it's an anachronistic inclusion. Feels like the author creates a n

I'm not the European Union. It's not my personal jealousy and distaste for Apple that's the driving force of the EU legislating against Apple's practices.

If the first line of Carmack's infamous code was "import fast_inverse_square_root" from Pypi.org, it wouldn't be as impressive.

Who's burned by what? NVIDIA's customers are happily training their models on superior hardware, so much so that they're begging to be able to order and spend more.
