> Which seems like only a matter of time if we're going to keep doing this. What's funny is that people have been saying this since OpenCL was announced but today we're actually in a worse spot than we were 10 years ago.

SoftBank is like the investing equivalent of the guy that shows up 2 hours late to the party with two beers and a joint. Go home, dude. None of us are going to be here in 30 minutes...

Both matter quite a bit. The first-mover advantage obviously rewards OEMs in a first-come, first-serve order, but CUDA itself isn't some light switch that OEMs can flick and get working overnight. Everyone would do it if it was easy, a

I give it 4 years, tops. This isn't a populist decision and it can be repealed just as easily as it was instated.

Not to mention the same thing happened to OpenAI and basically the same effort went into shaming them: https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/3/24191636/openai-chatgpt-ma...

Apple's strategy already failed. Their big bet on NPU hardware did not pay off at all, and right now it's effectively wasted silicon on every iDevice while the GPU does all the heavy inference work. Now they partner with OpenAI to

Nobody, really. America put it's full faith in a software industry that we thought was socially progressive, and then got sucker-punched by the realization that money was the only thing keeping people civil all along. Now greed rears i

If you think it's bad now , imagine how bad it was for those of us that pre-ordered it. It was a dadgum mess back then. Most people are warming up to this game because they're delivering on the original game concept and still goi

Nvidia can actually charge larger margins if inference compute goes down. It would enable them to manufacture more units of smaller GPUs using inferior and cheaper silicon, all of which would increase the profits per unit sold as well as

Sure they do. They just don't have any capacity for producing the chip density that Apple demands. It's like showing up to a motorcycle factory and complaining that they don't know how to manufacture cars. If America wanted E

To my knowledge, there are also critical exploits that simply have no mitigation. Thunderspy was disclosed to Apple nearly 5 years ago and there is still no credible solution to the threat it presented.

Hacker News has fickle guidelines around politics that can justify flagging anything post-hoc. There is no hard-and-fast rule banning Musk posts but almost anything mentioning him does tend to get sandbagged these days. Here's a cheat

Job openings don't stay open because there's a labor shortage, they stay open because the employer isn't offering competitive compensation.

And only twice as expensive as the competing hardware you use to run R1 671B at 3-bit quantization! Ordinarily Apple customers cough up 3 or 4 times list price to match the performance of an equivalent PC. This is record-setting generosity

FWIW I've been following this field obsessively since the BERT days and I've heard people say "just a few months now" for about 5 years at this point. Here we are 5 years later and we're still trying to buy more run

It began back in 2016. The tech market didn't want to hear that their progressive leaders were bending the knee. But it was happening, and we know today that it only got worse. Doesn't matter if you're gay like Sam Altman or

Apple is one of the only companies in modern existence that could take a 2x hit to their SOC price and still turn an enormous profit on their hardware alone. There are non-Intel options Apple might consider like the TSMC Arizona plant, but

Sorry, what? Depreciating a product has never been illegal in America. Consumer protections are an afterthought, and that applies to Google as much as it applies to Apple and Microsoft. You aren't owed shit. The rules of reality are wr

Quite the contrary, really. We've been seeing "success stories" with AI translating function calls for years now, it just doesn't get any attention or make any headlines because it's so simple. SIMD optimization is

Intel's fabs aren't competitive, period. They might compete when 18A gets taped out, but that's been in development hell for years now and is struggling to leave the sampling stage. TSMC has a track record of profitable EULV
