Elon offered funding. OpenAI declined the offer then signed a deal with Microsoft. Elon did not force them to choose Microsoft. It was simply a disagreement. After they signed up with Microsoft, Elon tried to get some of his money back. D

You're right that GPU is a misnomer these days. The top-end chips are for HPC and scientific computing in general. Good for training, inference, and non-AI applications such as molecular dynamics simulations. They can accelerate FFT an

Having Apple dependent on and paying for Microsoft infrastructure is a win for Microsoft. Of course the deal benefits Microsoft as much as Apple. Microsoft needs Apple as a strong competitor. Otherwise they will be declared a monopoly and b

They declined to give Elon Musk control when he offered them a billion to save the company. Instead they turned around and gave up control to Microsoft for billions. Do you honestly believe that if you were in Elon Musks shoes, that you wou

"it’s a dick move" implies that you are somehow entitled to that money. Otherwise it's a fair move. It is extremely delusional to expect to receive $1 billion dollars unconditionally.

Fair enough. But I would do the same if I were in his shoes just out of spite for selling out to Microsoft. Sue them for everything they are worth.

"in the hopes of bankrupting them" Where do you get that idea? How exactly were they entitled to his $1B donation?

By the same reasoning, a CPU is no different to a GPU. They can both do matrix calculations. A GPU is optimised for 3D rendering (and is useful for parallel computations in general). An NPU is optimised for neural network inferencing. These

That guy is just some random blogger and I wouldn't take that to literally mean they use the same chips as a Macbook. Apple only says they use "Apple Silicon". Common sense to assume it is designed for servers and AI inferenc

No one said they are M chips. These would be custom made for servers and AI inferencing. Also note their "ARM based SoC" has a GPU with 800 GB/sec bandwidth in the M2 Ultra.

I've been using Siri more often recently and surprised at how capable it is for something that runs entirely on a phone. The speech recognition is perfect and it can do basic tasks quite well. Send messages, lookup word definitions, se

Try reading the thread before mindlessly replying. "I fully expected them to announce a stupendous custom AI processor that would do state of the art LLMs entirely local." State of the art LLM means GPT-4 or equivalent. Trillion+

Apple uses TSMC for fabrication. The roadmap for TSMC and Intel are planned years in advance. Two orders of magnitude improvement in 6 months? Not possible. Have you heard of Moore's Law? Maybe in 20 years. https://en.wikipe

by xcv123 2y ago
Why would you expect that? State of the art LLMs need a GPU with hundreds of GB of RAM costing tens of thousands of dollars. Apple doesn't have magical supernatural powers. They are still bound by the laws of physics. Siri is still run

You're welcome. I learned about the basics here http://www.emulator101.com Then I read the docs at NESdev Wiki and eventually wrote my own NES emulator. https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/Nesdev_Wiki If you h

You start by reading hardware documentation and you don't need to understand the machine at an electronic level. It's not a simulation of digital circuits. It doesn't need to be that complicated. An 8-bit CPU is a simple stat

Mainframes typically execute batch processes on a CPU. Much simpler than a game console with a GPU. Cycle-accurate emulation is less relevant for mainframes.

You would probably need a terahertz CPU for cycle-accurate PS2 emulation. Cycle-accurate PS2 emulation means emulating the state of the CPU, GPU, other interacting processors, and their various interconnecting busses at clock cycle granular

That is not perfectly cycle-accurate, but it is accurate enough to run almost anything without issues.

Japan was already trying to negotiate conditional surrender when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuked. The US demanded unconditional surrender, and they nuked hundreds of thousands of civilians to force that demand. The bombing of Dresden is a
