> Yes, that my understanding, and that's why I claim it's different from "classical" SIMD

I understand, yes, it makes sense. Of course, other architectures can make other optimizations, like selecting warps that are more likely to have data ready etc., but Nvidia's implementation does sound like a very smart approach

> And let say you have 2 warps with complementary masking, with the Nvidia's SIMT uarch it goes naturally to issue both warps simultaneously and they can be executed at the same cycle within different ALU/core

That is indeed a powerful technique

> It's not obvious what would mean "superscalar" in an SIMT context. For me a superscalar core is a core that can extract instruction parallelism from a sequential code (associated to a single thread) and therefore dispatch/issue/execute more that 1 instruction per cycle per thread.

Yes, I meant executing multiple instructions from the same warp/thread concurrently, depending on the execution granularity of course. Executing instructions from different warps in the same block is slightly different, since warps don't need to be at the same execution state. Applying the CPU terminology, warp is more like a "CPU thread". It does seem like Nvidia indeed moved quite far into the SIMT direction and their threads/lanes can have independent program state. So I thin I can see the validity of your arguments that Nvidia can remap SIMD ALUs on the fly to suitable threads in order to achieve high hardware utilization.

> In the Nvidia case a "register-file cache" is a cache placed between the register-file and the operand-collector. And it makes sense in their case since the register-file have variable latency (depending on collision) and because it will save SRAM read power.

Got it, thanks!

P.S. By the way, wanted to thank you for this very interesting conversation. I learned a lot.
Enabling the feature was opt-in, yes, installing the feature was not (and has been made opt-in with this new update).

Apparently a lot of folks don't regard this as an critical distinction, but as someone working in a regulated industry, there is a distinction here that is worth understanding.

What is the superior alternative for a purely text-based scene description? (honest question; maybe there is some obvious answer but when I google it I get tutorials on how to render text in 3d :/ )
If someone did that, I would probably leave them alone, and if someone wanted to use them as a source, I would probably at least ask if they knew anybody more reasonable.
No, there's a configurable system prompt which is:

Return commands suitable for copy/pasting into \(shell) on \(uname). Do NOT include commentary NOR Markdown triple-backtick code blocks as your whole response will be copied into my terminal automatically.

The script should do this: \(ai.prompt)

And then you type your prompt in, and it returns the answer. And then you can choose to edit the command that gets returned or execute it directly.

So essentially what you'd do if you were using the API directly, just more convenient.

> 10. “Demographic diversity (race, gender) in the workplace often leads to worse performance.”`

This is an interesting one. Diversity is definitely beneficial to large international corporations, so the main question here is "at what granularity should we apply diversity". Small team level is probably not the right place to apply diversity.
Why have they fought so hard against the Russians if they were "being used as fodder"?

Iterm2’s remote tmux integration is a killer feature for me. Gives you a native, normal “windows and tabs” kind of feel, but for a remote connection. You can also disconnect/reconnect without losing your windows and tabs.

You don’t need to know any tmux to use it either (except for how to launch the right mode, which is easy to script).

If you spend a lot of time SSHed to other computers, I would highly recommend trying it out.
Content moderation to what degree, is the implicit question, however.

Consider asking 'how do I replace a garage door torsion spring?'. The typical, overbearing response on low-quality DIY forums is that attempting to do so will likely result in grave injury or death. However, the process, with correct tools and procedure, is no more dangerous than climbing a ladder or working on a roof - tasks that don't seem to result in the same paternalistic response.

I'd argue a properly-disclaimered response that outlines the required tools, careful procedure, and steps to lower the chance of injury is far safer than a blanket 'do never attempt'. The latter is certainly easier, however.

But if it's a documented API with open-source 'reference' app, everyone can make new versions, enhancements, etc.

And for sure, assuming a popular standard physical/radio interface is used now, it will still be supported, either through backwards-compatibility in the standard, or with gateway dongles etc, far into the future.

I have no confidence you'll be able to get a replacement screen or computer mainboard etc for any car you buy today, in 12 years, and almost certainly not in 20,30, etc.
To those asking what "diverse" means in this context, here's a quote in the article from the authorities:

> “The funding will be directed to areas of immediate need in the Canadian broadcasting system, such as local news on radio and television, French-language content, Indigenous content, and content created by and for equity-deserving communities, official language minority communities, and Canadians of diverse backgrounds.”

This is upside down. Nuclear energy has pretty much nothing to do with nuclear weapons, and is pretty much solved. Also it's not "old" technology (there are new designs like the 4th gen that we actually need).

Scaling renewable energy is an open problem: it has never been done. It's easy to say that "renewables doubled last year" when they go from "marginal" to "still marginal". Renewable energy is intermittent, and that is completely unsolved between seasons.
I genuinely think Proton as a company would prefer to cease to exist rather than offer insecure products. In fact there's a lot of offerings I would use (and pay more for) and they could make but choose not to (like a calendar that is not over an airtight protocol and could integrate with my regular calendar clients).
The sad reality of Canada is such things are just ways to fund new classes of kickbacks to Trudeau and his buddies. Episodes such as ArriveCAN have made even my lefty friends suspicious of all gov spending.

One option is to make the satellite survive re-entry rather than burn up. Then just re-enter over a desert like australia or the sahara so you can go find and collect the junk.

Single-use heat shields for smallish things like satellites are quite easy I believe, although fold-out items like solar panels would need to be designed to fold-in again.
The question is what's the circle? for all the "ZOMG You're just burning it back into the sky!" worries - which are legitimate in a sense... this seems like a usable circle where CO2 gets pulled from the air and turned into Carbon, Oxygen and Electricity... then the carbon that's now algea can be turned into more electricity via burning which puts CO2 back into the air sure but now you have a cycle.

The issue with gas/oil/petrol is that the "cycle" is pull from ground and pump into air without a way to pull it back from the air.

So yes, this puts CO2 back into the air... after pulling it out of the air. So how is it not a step forward?
The U.S. is about to put the hammer down on TikTok, eliminating a large foreign competitor to their social media empires. Protectionism is how countries develop local brands in the first place. Protectionism works for the U.S., it will also work in Japan (and has worked in the past).
It's wildly unpopular among a different bubble of the developer community, mostly concentrated around Mastodon and the fediverse.

One of the memes the Enlightenment established is the idea of the "noble savage". If you want to learn more about it, that's the search term for it. For instance, Wikipedia pops something up that is a decent introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_savage

I find the memeset quite dehumanizing. "Savages", even putting aside the baggage that term carries, are as fully human as the "civilized", and as such, are as fully capable of the heights of humanity and the full plumbing of the depths.

While I admit I have not seen the movie the author is talking about, it sounds to me like it reeks of the "noble savage" memeset. I'm sure there are wonderful parents in the more primitive cultures (I think I can use that terminology in this context, it just refers to their technology usage and not humanity), but the primitive cultures also used to let unwanted children die by exposure... and there was worse, too. Because they're human, and as such, as prone to the heights and the depths as the rest of us. The modern "civilized" world has all the heights and the depths too; the civilized world is just somewhat better at hiding the depths where other people won't see it.

(Anyone who wants to complain about the terminology for "noble savage" is invited to take it up with the rest of the world; I'm just using the common name given to it. If it is not clear, I am dripping with contempt for the meme and have no interest in defending it in any form, name included.)
If you're interested in a peer reviewed scientific comparison, Google writes retrospective papers after contemporary TPUs and GPUs are deployed versus speculation about future products. The most recent compares TPU v4 and A100. (TPU v5 and H100 is for a future paper). Here is a quote from the abstract:

"Deployed since 2020, TPU v4 outperforms TPU v3 by 2.1x and improves performance/Watt by 2.7x. ... For similar sized systems, it is ~4.3x--4.5x faster than the Graphcore IPU Bow and is 1.2x--1.7x faster and uses 1.3x--1.9x less power than the Nvidia A100. TPU v4s inside the energy-optimized warehouse scale computers of Google Cloud use ~2--6x less energy and produce ~20x less CO2e than contemporary DSAs in typical on-premise data centers."

I've been using Linux for a long time, including chromebooks, and this sounds like textbook low memory to me. I love linux, but it doesn't handle low memory situations well[1], and whatever Chrome does in low memory situations makes it much worse. Tab discipline is the most important thing you can do. I have an obscene amount of tabs open too so I feel you. I've started making liberal use of the Session Buddy extension and that is helpful, though my true fix was putting 128 GB of RAM in :-D

[1] This is improving greatly in the last year or two, but that probably wouldn't have made it to your chromebook.
I think conditions for older employees are getting worse. Teams are outsourced, either to younger people who work from home, or to other countries, making older remaining employees seem like an unnecessarily high cost.
>If you look at phones and tablets, there is a bunch of components/IP from European companies also, such as ARM, Bosch, STmicroelectronics, Infineon, NXP etc.

But those are all low-marin chips. Qualcomm, Nvidia, Intel, AMD and Apple have much higher margins on their chips. They don't bother competing with the EU chips companies.
I agree there are many different reasons to move. I would really call out people who are saying that Indian talent is leaving the US and/or Canada because from my viewpoint we have a very significant amount of Indians leaving India and coming here. It's much more the exception to the rule of Indians leaving North America and going back to India.
You need 2 H100 to have enough VRAM for the model whereas you need only 1 MI300X. Doubling the total throughput (for all completions) of 1 MI300X to simulate the numbers for a duplicated system is reasonable.

They should probably show separately the throughput per completion as the tensor parallelism is often used for that purpose in addition to the doubling the VRAM.
Apparently they are not going out because the space suit is uncomfortable

> That's funded by the cut they take.

Apple / Google do not need to take a 30% cut of every e-book ever sold to fund their review. That's absurd and illogical.

One estimate is that Amazon sells 487,000,000 ebooks a year. If we assume they cost $10 each, that's almost a $1.5 billion cut for Apple and Google.

It does not cost $1.5 billion for Apple and Google to review Kindle to make sure it doesn't damage devices.
Sweden is perfectly energy independent as long they don't export. Existing nuclear and wind production is perfectly able to produce the wast majority of energy that get consumed, and national hydro power has so far capacity to last through any periods of low production. There are also additional thermal power plants that operates on gas, oil and garbage to balance the grid.

What Sweden do not have is hydro capacity to also power nearby countries while maintaining low prices and energy independence. From a national perspective, the natural resources that is hydro power would results in lower energy prices in Sweden if they did not share the market prices of the European grid (Multiple energy experts has voiced this in the last few years of energy debates).

However, Sweden has agreements to allow free trade of energy as part of the EU membership. Many of the stakes holder in the hydro power is also non-state owned, which means they are legally allowed to export the energy at the highest bid even if that results in higher costs for Swedish citizens. In theory the government could issue tariffs to recover some of the value from the natural resources that is hydro power, but that would lead to rather severe geo political consequences. Denmark is for example one of the largest importer of Swedish energy, and energy tariffs would basically target the Swedish-Danish relationship in a rather major negative way.
I don't get the fascination with robots. There are billions of humans. Countries are restricting immigration to keep them from coming in and disrupting economies. And yet, there is awe with trying to build artificial humans?
Canada seems to be making all the wrong decisions, all of the time.
I don't think Qualcomm or any of the current market leaders will be the first to do a big RISC-V push. While dealing with the ARM company might be a hassle having an exclusive ISA limits the competition which is good for business. When the first one moves and the software is created for it there are more opportunities for competitors. Qualcomm doesn't want to create the invitation but also wants to make sure there is a place at the party for them.

RISC-V will probably get it's first big adoption through some new or shifting industry creating their own chip. Like how ARM got into phones or Amazon started to use their own ARM chips. This guarantees all the infrastructure can be build and used in the future.
Is that sort of like bad healthcare that is not optional and forcefully taken from each salary you make when you could instead use a fraction of that healthcare tax to get a vastly superior private healthcare, and yet you're not allowed to NOT pay healthcare tax, thus if you want better healthcare you pay for it AND the private one?

A guess: locally produced content, rather than content created for a US or global audience. A winner-takes-all victory has different implications in the cultural sphere.
It would be a start - impossible not to be - but you might suffer adverse consequences. Either: you make other things expensive you didn't mean to, through the wrong granularity of rule, or you didn't catch people who slightly changed their position to not have the rule applied to them any more. And either case: lots of energy spent defining rules and having each company analyse whether or not its affected and then what to do about it.
Just because the brain does not process information in the way that you expect it to from what we know about computers does not mean it doesn't process information. What a load of nonsense
I understand where you're coming from, but I think that strict reading of the statement, that the identity is the result of the influence is materially different to what you're talking about. That is, I think "authentic" transness is popularly considered an innate characteristic, you are born this way even if you don't realize it until later in life. If the identity is the product of social influence then the implication is that it is not entirely innate, that you are claiming to have been born a particular way, but only because you have been misled by outside forces. Put another way, you can be told about transness online and realise you were always that way, but then the identity isn't the "product" of the social influence. (I know this comes down to fiddly definitions, and reasonable people may differ.)

That's the misleading part of all of Apple's statements about privacy.
Apple only ever talks about your "personal data", they let the audience conclude what that means.

A picture is personal data. Information about the content of that picture anonymized in a way that the user/subject cannot be identified, is not personal data anymore.

A profile generated from all your usage-habits combined is not "personal data" anymore.

Not a popular statement, but I believe the main reason for Apple pushing on-device ML-models is to extract non-personal information from its devices without the need for the "personal information" to be seen by Apple. There's even a paper on that [1]

Compute and storage is paid by the user, only the extracted data is delivered to Apple.

Beyond that, Apple's entire effort on privacy conveniently ensures that only they know everything about their users, and ensure that the customers don't (accidentally) tell someone else something about themselves.
