Apple ships MLX, which has found support in creator communities, and is starting to see support at places like hugging face. In fact, it seems to me to be growing faster than ROCM support, but of course, it is starting from scratch, and this is just anecdotal.

And, MPS are a drop in replacement for many programs in pytorch -- just replacing device="cuda" with device="mps" works relatively well, much of the time. For those doing inference at the edge / playing / testing, mps works well -- it is entirely the reason for llama.cpp's popularity, for instance.

Rumors are that Apple is looking at using high memory M2 chips for datacenter inference -- 192GB of RAM is pretty great, yo.

So I guess I'm saying I think you're wrong on the facts -- Apple does support pytorch, it does have an alternate full stack offering with MLX, and I would not be surprised if more tokens are generated through llama.cpp's downstream offerings on Apple Silicon than are generated on AMD.
Probably less than you'd think. Moving things on wheels is a lot easier than (for example) lifting and, compared to cars, it does not need to accelerate fast or deal with highly varying loads.

But it’s not free, it cuts quality significantly.

It’s not hard to find ways to speed up transformers if you’re willing to give up quality.

You could argue some tradeoffs are worth it and that’s true sometimes but I don’t see that they’ve made the case for it here.
Reading along with great enjoyment, until I got to the part where the author is photoshopping and editing a component diagram of the D19 to get more manufactured.

I think to myself, "how strange! even if the manufacturer isn't willing to pay for the standard, it's got to be worth it for the guy who's trying to get them built!"

A small bit of Wikipedia browsing followed, in which I realized that I've been laboring under a decades-long misapprehension that the D in D-sub connectors stands for DIN. Nope, just the shape, and not a DIN, or ANSI, or ISO standard. Just de facto.

Note that this isn't totally insane, there are in fact DIN connectors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector. Just so happens that D-sub connectors have nothing to do with them.

In other areas, one might compare code jurisdictions, where presumably all the legislative clauses share a common vocabulary (and probably even conceptual framework), with common law jurisdictions, where all the legislative clauses occur in different centuries and thus one adds "picking a parallel transport" between the legal languages of the times (and jurisdictions) to the difficulties of adjudication.

I support technology in law enforcement. For example body cams that exonerate officer behavior in extreme situations. Non-lethal restraining mechanisms.

From what I’ve seen of facial recognition technology at this time, I think it’s extremely unreliable and more likely to cause harm to innocent citizens (by way of police) than to protect innocents. This technology can lead to false positives, kinda like Swatting, and then non-criminals (like you) get hurt.

Also, I believe you mis attributed the safety in your town to the technology used. In fact I would wager it’s based on many other factors like, race, socio economics, population density, etc

Sure, a 5-year-old is more eloquent than a dog, but throughout history there have been lots of 5-year-olds that were still enslaved, along with adults that were even more eloquent and intelligent.

My point is that talk is cheap. It's one thing to agree that a sheepdog has freedom of speech, but there will be a lot more resistance if we start talking about reparations for years of sheep-herding labor.
> "Police officers’ efforts to skirt these bans have not been previously reported and highlight the challenge of reining in police use of facial recognition."

NO! They highlight a systemic issue in the US.

Where day to day corruption and cutting corners is a sport. Where much of the population celebrates these forms of "ingenuity" (whether they agreed with the bans in the first place or not.) Even the press - like in this case - considers this minor matters: worth an article on someone's resume but not much more. Sometimes a whole series of such articles (see NSA affairs) - but again not much more.

See also private groups such as associations of chiefs of police, sheriffs, etc.

On the matter of "sport", perhaps that's because it is: US education celebrates winning at sports, by hook or by crook. And guess which fields favor jocks?

The ICC just gave Netanyahu more strength. Israelis would likely rally around their leader. Netanyahu will be emboldened to do maximum damage on his way out. What more does he have to lose at this point?

Besides, the U.S. government is on Netanyahu's side, so he will never be arrested.

To me, this reads as further justification for higher-ed as a gatekeeper to employment. First, you needed a college degree. If you didn’t have one, it’s your fault you can’t advance. Plus, the huge debt that comes with student loans is a natural byproduct, so don’t complain if you’re in that group and still can’t get ahead.

People are waking up to the fact that higher-ed, coupled with crushing debt, is quite often a losing scenario. So here’s a new way of framing the problem: you didn’t get a double-major (thus incurring even more debt) so it’s still your fault.

To me, this reeks of propping up a failing system rather than admitting that tuitions are out of control and today’s youth have very little hope of building a prosperous life. That it’s in the WSJ only furthers my belief that this is the real justification for the article.

Our species will continue to learn and acquire more historical knowledge about ourselves which will disrupt past comprehensions and beliefs as the world evolves. My own location, along a tidal shoreline, is being impacted by the increasingly heavier rains and winds but while this impact is globally recognized as climate change, all change has positives and negatives. The negatives are well listed as more change occurs daily somewhere in the world however a positive from this change, at least to one research discipline, is what comes from the result of that erosion, discoveries once unknown that have now been revealed. Twenty years ago I built my house on land I saw as having great potential, however in that time the “potential” has pivoted through my own discovery of unique and vast quantities of Native American relics littered everywhere in and around my property. As the erosion continues to increase so too does my collection.
Although the line can get fuzzy when they want to ship a feature that's too big to run locally. Android has run into that, some of the AI features run locally, some of them run on Googles servers, and some of them might run locally or on Googles servers depending on which device you happen to have.

I had already read the comment I was responding to, and they actually mentioned both.

Here's the exact quote for the 7B:

"Even running a 7B will take 14GB if it's fp16."

Since they called out a specific amount of memory that is entirely irrelevant to anyone actually running 7B models, I was responding to that.

I'm certain that no one at Microsoft is talking about running 70B models on consumer devices. 7B models are actually a practical consideration for the hardware that exists today.

Leaving out personal opinions, I would love to hear some thoughtful speculation on how this might pa out. Will the ICC actually approve the warrants?

IIRC, that was one of the reasons we had the center pair available with Ethernet for such a long time:

A given jack on a wall in a given office could be wired for a regular single-pair phone, or for Ethernet, or for both -- even at the same time (using the same cabling), as a design intent.

Of course this doesn't work with the gigabit spec we all wound up using, but it was never a popular option to begin with (and nowadays, we usually have VOIP if we even bother with desk phones at all).

#1 is a grammatical translation, and loses meaning. If you continue to step #3 before attempting to extract meaning from the sentence, it answers your question. There's only one "type" in the reference pool ("the AST type") and, like a list, set, class or tree, it is a collection. Therefore, it is this to which "which" refers.

It's actually kinda annoying once I started paying attention, as many software vendors just detect "Windows" and give you a x86/x64 installer, even when the company offers a ARM64 build that would presumably be faster or be more energy efficient.

A lot of gaming these days is running on mobile phones and portable PCs - and now laptops - will highly likely leverage ARM sooner or later. Add to that some eGPU with Nvidia cards and you get a monster.

Intel is in a deep trouble.

>Unlike when Apple announced that all of Mac was transitioning, there isn't a reason for a developer to think that anytime soon they can drop x86, so why complicate what they have now by adding ARM?

ARM is the future as there is a desire to have long battery life and performance increase. Microsoft right now does have x86 emulation layer and app support right now is much better already than it was before (in RT era where it did not even have the emulator).

Devs are developing apps across all the devices and ARM based Mac is already requires you to develop ARM compatible apps.

Or survivorship bias. Perhaps people who manage to graduate while taking heavy course loads are also the type that, as others say, are good at getting work done in general. But the headline is "Why it pays to be a double major in college". This would not be true if graduation with >3.0 GPA becomes difficult, as graduating and getting a decent GPA are probably more strongly correlated with income than having two majors at some point.

>I have yet to see any real talk about ARM on custom built machines and I doubt gamers are going to give that up anytime soon.

The vast majority of gamers game on smartphones and tablets with ARM processors.

Some of the biggest gaming hits recently have also been cross-architecture and cross-platform, namely Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Native ARM and x86 releases, runs on Windows, Android, and iOS. There are also gaming hits like Fate/Grand Order that don't have an x86/Windows release at all due to not even considering desktops/laptops.

The future is already here.
> Microsoft is giving ARM another try with a special branding that's supposed to guarantee some level of performance and quality.

I hope so. I've been a happy Windows for Arm user (via Parallels on Apple Silicon) for a year+ and it's been good. Based on that, I think drivers are going to be the biggest PITA for ARM-based PC users for the first couple years — for example, Google Drive doesn't work for that reason.
