This is common and expected. Even when a serial killer suspected of 20 murder is apprehended, arrest is often made based on one or two confirmed cases, more charges are later added as investigation deepens. Also, keep in mind foreign journa

Yes, that's why I was focusing on percentage of peak hardware performance, not actual flops.

Great article! For context: this WebGPU version achieves ~17% of peak theoretical performance of M2. With CUDA (i.e. CuBLAS), you can reach ~75% of peak performance for same matrix config (without tensor core).

do you realize that nurses in hospital, civil servants workers are among people carrying this device? That not all, not even majority of Hizbollah personnel have no military responsibility whatsoever?

Hezbollah is a political org, part of the government. Many hospitals, nurses were carrying those pagers. And, the only well-known fake child death scandal was the one fabricated by Israel aka 40 beheaded babies, babies baked in oven etc- sc

May I ask what does “very fast” mean in the context of an issue tracker?

by shihab 2y ago
Bias more often hides in the news you don’t see, not the ones you do. For example, many people have heard about 40 beheaded babies. How many have actually heard of Zaka? An ultra-right first responder volunteer group that made up this and s

After seeng your comment, I just went ahead and watched the doc, and I frankly I find myself in a state of rage right now. From my limited understanding, I had this impression this was an engineering failure. And you know, when you have a c

I agree about ROCm. When it comes to comparison to SYCL, HIP is much closer to the spirit of SYCL than ROCm is. Both aim to help writing a single codebase that'll run across multiple hardwares. For now though, the trajectory of SYCL ap

The thing about modern AI, it's that operations involved here (e.g. Dense matmuls) are lot simpler and GPU friendly than what you'd find in a typical HPC applications. This means you can get pretty close to peak hardware performan

Yeah. In this instance, I was talking about the same algorithm (phillox), the difference is purely in implementation.

But you can't support Pytorch without a proper foundation in place. They don't need to support zillion _end_ libraries, sure, but they do need to have at least a very good set of standard libraries, equivalent of Cublas, Curand et

Please, go through the images first. Then explain to me, how bulldozing a park aids in Israel's effort to fight Hamas? Again, Israel has the right to fight and fight hard, anyone would do that in their place. But I think many people

This article is not about Jews co-ordinating, it's about foreign govt agents in military uniforms coordinating with powerful sillicon valley leaders to punish, among other things, American citizens for holding wrong-think.

Among all these feel-good stories, how about one with a bit different ending? During my masters, I created a ML library that dealt with noise in dataset [1]. I implemented bunch of papers, but unlike your usual research code, I spent a long
