There is a big difference between the above 'request' and, say, me politely asking the time of a complete stranger I walk by on the street. Requests containing elements of hostility, shame, or injury frequently serve dual purposes

Fair warning, I know nothing about these boards outside of their existence. But, 'from the hip', I'm guessing that they are just daisy chaining bridge chips (PCIe -> PCI -> ISA). ITE makes some PCI -> ISA bridges and

You know what, I was out of line with that language. My apologies. Others are right, I intended to imply "the vibe of the person" you expect when you see an F-250 in a city where even Civic park up on the curb to avoid being clipp

FINALLY, someone I can agree with. With the birthright citizenship now in play, I say we should expatriate everyone in tech as well! Now that code can be written by LLMs, tech workers will just be drain on the economy. If one don't hav

60%? Serious citation needed. The largest Christian population in Iran are Armenians. There are far fewer than 1 million Armenians in Iran. So unless you have evidence for the claim that there are 50+ million atheists in Iran, the number ju

I don't know if you really need the full ROCm stack just to throw matrices at a card. Inference requires less "scaffolding", but maybe Fujitsu just want to outsource the whole stack and forget about it. My only worry would be

I would reject the comparison as a false dichotomy. The world's political systems can't just be bimodal distribution of ineffectual neolibs and self-styled 'strong man' autocracts.

The 'general' TSP (unless P=NP) does not admit a worst-case constant-factor approximation, at least not on classical machines (we're still working on the quantum PCP theorem). So while I'm not immediately familiar with t

Factoring hasn't been shown to be NP-complete. It maybe the case that it's in P (and we just don't have an algo yet) or it maybe the case that it is an NP intermediate problem.

It's an approximation algorithm. It's not about the runtime. It's about the worst or average case approximation quality while remaining in a polynomial budget.

You know, if Mexico is a place where 'no sane person' should go... then shouldn't we be more understanding when people want to leave?

I don't want this to be a defense of elon musk. Everything he is currently doing is unequivocally wrong and he does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. That said, there have been multiple cases where 'unconstitutional' acti

I am a little confused about what is happening now. What Mao did was wrong. Holding the gun or being in charge of those who do is a distinction without a difference. Law by violence is wrong. Whether it is Xi, Mao, or the mob, it's wro

Misquoting (in translation) the sophomoric military machinations of a person who never served but who's polices managed to kill millions isn't going to curry favor here. Group action with clear purpose is compatible with capital.

Table 2's results are interesting. If the paper is to be believed, just adding the memory model seems to improve reasoning tasks across the board. That said, I do wonder if this a bit of mirage. At 1.7B parameters, they are 3 orders of

I couldn't believe that either. The RTX 3090 comes out sept 2020. More importantly, the final form of the GA102, the A6000/A40 (with 48GB of RAM, every single cuda core enable and $5k+ MSRP) comes out a few days later. We were wel

The M* ultra has more cores/execution units on the gpu and cpu side of things, but the best m4 max is comparable. Quick rundown: 1. Memory bandwidth is about the same (same width bus but 533 MT/s difference favoring Apple)

Honest question, why? USPS is cheap. Is there something special about a stack of blank PCBs (or ICs, or caps, or whatever) that precludes USPS from shipping them? I know they are weird about batteries, but everything else, right?

This is really cool! Plus I like the ramification that the 'hard bits' of playing a game like tetris might be contained in the vision/recognition phase. My only gotcha is with calling DFS 'classical AI'. I get they

I was just thinking this. The central valley produces something like 25% of the USA's edible food and 40% of it's nuts using maybe 1% of USA's farmland. It only rain like 2 weeks out of the year there. If we don't have a
