The Apple A8X is 10 years old. The current iPhone processor (Apple A17) contains 19 billion transistors. So now we have 126 acres in a pocket. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A17

The investigation of criminal misconduct at Boeing is not a panic response. It is serious. The company is run by actual criminals who knowingly and wilfully defrauded US regulators and ignore safety/quality concerns raised by inspector

Yes. Boeing is great. Boeing is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. They prioritize quality and safety above profit. No issues at Boeing management, whatsoever. Ignore the whistleblowers. Bunch of liars.

GPT-4 is not a piece of hardware. The comparison makes no sense. GPT-4 was enabled by hardware. The idea is that you use something like a Frontier to create something like a GPT-4. My point was about cost of computing. What kind of GPT can

The cost of computing decreases over time. No one will pay $100 Billion to train GPT-6. That is absurd. The current top supercomputer in the world (Frontier) cost $600M. It is rumoured that GPT-4 was trained on 10,000 A100 processors releas

Another thing to note is ChatGPT is configured to respond concisely to reduce cost (every token costs money). This reduces its cognitive ability. You literally have to tell it to think about what it is saying and to think of all of the poss

No the real performance is 125 petaflops at FP16. That is 138 gigaflops per core. You would need 64 of these to get 8 exaflops. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intell...

Performance is not an issue with Qt. He probably means the framework is too large and complicated from a developer perspective. The compiled code is fast.

That continued with researchers using cheap gaming GPUs for simulations. Today a single Nvidia 4090 GPU exceeds the performance of that PS3 cluster.

This is common sense and has nothing to do with nativism or jingoism. The offshoring was an action of pure selfish greed at the expense of the working class people who built the industry.

After simplifying and reducing the code as far as possible, it is rewritten in a compressed format using macros and without whitespace. Look at the #define statements.
