ecosystem around the base stack remember? So no it's not easier when the bulk of the work needs to come from OSS contributors.

People have the weirdest wishful thinking about this because they don't actually work in this area (and/or don't have stake in the game). If you're this confident please show me your portfolio allocation for NVDA and AMD. Otherwise hint: everyone working on this does not so casually dismiss NVIDIA's lead.
I owned an AMD card. Everything high-level I wanted to do I could implement on the CPU fine, but I couldn't implement it on the GPU because it was too hard to operate on data in VRAM without crashing (been a while, I forget if it was the transfer or the operation that failed), and to get back good debug info because I needed to move data from VRAM to normal RAM. I was trying to learn at the time so efficiency wasn't really a factor, I just wanted things to work. They never did.

CPU was easy, GPU was hard. The major difference I could spot though was all the time I was spending batting data around between different buffers, the APIs weren't really limiting me.
So I can train a model on all available Windows material, including from MS themselves, and sell it as a support bot?
The Cauchy-Riemann equations just say that the derivative (as a map of 2-vectors) acts as a complex multiplication (treating 2-vectors as complex numbers). For quaternions you would say it acts as quaternion multiplication I guess. But since quaternions aren't commutative, you would also have to say if it's acting as a left or a right multiplication...
I was referring to React's createElement-function (and assigning it to const e for ergonomics).

const div = e("div", {className: "thing-contents"}, "Hello")

Or with coffeescript

div = e "div", className: "thing-contents", "Hello"

Or with coffeescript and simple Proxy wrapper:

div = @div class: "thing-contents", "Hello"

I wonder if there is a kind of overfitting that keeps the playing field level for young people. Like you read more books, have more experiences, etc, but in the end you’re less capable than the naive approach.

I think of Bill Belichick’s final years with the Patriots, and how he never seemed to be able to hire the right guys, stuck on old friends and colleagues.

It's one of the things I genuinely like about Australia (despite being more on the "paying for expensive trades work" end than the receiving side of those wages) and also slightly mysterious to me - it's not like that "next door" in New Zealand, and I can't figure out why. It feels like a subtle difference in the class system, but some people say it's stronger unions. I can't identify any huge differences in labour market structure that would explain the discrepancy.

In NZ you have to own the business to make decent money in most trades.

GitHub is a social network. Libraries aren't. CUDA is not even on GitHub though as far as I recall.

> We're talking about the ecosystem around the base stack remember? So no it's not easier when the bulk of the work needs to come from OSS contributors.

The ecosystem exists as an abstraction around a base stack though. Much like saying the existence of Linux solidifies x86 dominance - that isn't what happens in practice, the Linux distros just pick up support for whatever hardware API are floating around. At some point the base can't add more value by adding more API features, and then the middleware starts supporting multiple bases depending on hardware economics.

The OSS people have no incentive to lock themselves in to buying NVidia cards. If AMD cards tended to work for compute problems they'd probably much rather be using AMD. AMD has better support for anything OSS that isn't compute related.

I don’t buy the idea that this creates uncertainty. When I read a statute I have a level of certainty as to what it means. When I read executive branch rules interpreting the statute I have a better understanding of what the executive intends to do, but - as they don’t write the law - it doesn’t provide much clarity as to what the statute actually means. The executive can and should continue to provide guidance about its intentions, but saying that the law is whatever the executive intends it to be is smoke.
it has a stopwatch. It's that simple.
Well, X is a variable that's equal to 'X' :) It's a mix of cryptographic notation, Go/Python notations for slices, and my ad-hoc notation for AES-CBC. To be fair, I find such pseudocode easier to read than math notation, but it's because I'm more used to it.
I sometimes have the following thought (disclaimer: cringe is not the most adequate word for the concept in my mind, but since you've already used it, I guess it's okay): If I look back at my 10-year-younger-self and cringe (at the things I did/said/created/liked/hated/etc. and I obviously do cringe), does that mean that I am being cringe right now? Or at least, how can I have some level of confidence that I'm not being cringe right now and that in 10 years I'm not going to reject everything and anything I'm saying today? And if I was cringe 10 years ago, and if I'm cringe right now, will I be also be cringe in 10 years too? What about 20? 30? Will it ever stop? Will I ever reach a point in which I will not cringe?

Another one is like this: There are people who I respect/admire for the things they did, and now they are doing something obviously completely stupid. Were those things they did just random results I got to see, compared to a bunch of other stuff they probably did I did not get to see, thus creating this sort of false image of their intellect (or character, or something like that), or are they actually right in believing in this new thing, and I'm just being oblivious? How come some really smart people do some really dumb stuff (while believing they are doing the right thing)? I believe I'm somewhat smart, but what does that even mean if it doesn't prevent me from doing some really, really dumb stuff.

At some point, my friend told me something like (or at least this is how I understood it) - it is good that you realize that good/smart people do bad/stupid things, and vice versa; the fact that you start from this belief that you might be wrong gives you a greater chance of being less wrong, at least in the long run.

> Again, the only way to get these connections is to literally just wait.

I have several 20+ years long close friendships, but it’s definitely not because I just waited. It’s a ton of time, sacrifice, and even more patience and empathy. People change, and sometimes it’s very difficult to handle to what they become. But at the end, these occasions definitely help you to understand people.

Unfortunately, this cost also a lot of money, because you need to travel a lot. After 15-20 years almost all of these kind of my friends live far away from each other. I had to cross even the Atlantic every 2-3 months because of this for a while.

One for sure, If you just wait, you’ll loose close friendships.

A CDN caches across users, lowers latency by having servers closer to the user, and lowers the bandwidth your server needs to handle. Cloudflare CDN has a free tier and I assume others do, too, so it's fairly easy to provision.
> and by the time you’re 50 or 60 or 70 you do know what you want.

I'm on the plus side of 50 and, from personal experience as well as observing my contemporaries, this is relatively rarely true.

Its quite possible to waste^Wuse years chasing stuff that you only thought you wanted. Its also quite possible to spend years being busy with work or child raising or whatever - and then you find yourself washed ashore on the metaphorical beach of your later life and you have to figure out how to make a shelter and survive there. And this still may not beat any insight into your head.

That old cliche: an old person is just a young person looking at them self and going "huh? what the...?"

> I also suspect that the declining intelligence measurements of old people are mostly attributable to slower-lookup and “shallow” reactions rather than any actual decline in quality of decision-making.

My limited experience and insight from introspection is that you lose raw cognitive power but gain experience. I feel like the latter is more useful for the challenges of middle and later life, but you have to be increasingly mindful of confirmation bias. The challenge is distilling your experiences into wisdom, somehow.

This is the leading edge of a conversation about the 'data' we emit moment to moment, digital and otherwise, and the right of powerful players to incorporate that into models which will definitely be used against us.

The social contract has never been sacrosanct, it's enforced through social consequences. These companies don't feel social consequences, individuals making these psychopathic decisions are socially rewarded by their peers and allies, and financially rewarded in turn. Money is a flow of power, not of value. Especially post Bretton-Woods.
I mean if we count autonomous taxis why not the entirety of the recommendation-engine-driven internet, including ad networks, social media feeds, streaming services? Or like object detection and tracking on cctvs? Does AI mean just LLMs and maybe image generators when we're talking about power usage, but anything with a neural network if we're talking about economic impact? Where do we stand on other ML, like clustering algorithms?
In my mind BD are European (more or less Franco-Belgian) comics books, distinct from 'comics', which are American style superhero stories. Just like manga is a separate category.

Hell, I have hundreds of tabs open on firefox on my android phone, and none of this happens.
Running inference with LLMs is not very complex. You don't need CUDA for that at all. You don't even need those complex libraries for inference. The market for inference will grow much more as AI is used in more and more applications by more and more people. NVIDIA has a moat but it's around the smaller castle.

Congressional incompetence is partially an act. They spend most of the year deflecting and complaining that they can’t get anything done, then in a burst here and there, they kick out a multitude of new laws.

It’s easier to say that the other side is blocking them and golly gee I’m doing everything I can.

I think you are completely ignoring the single most important factor here, ge reason why more older people are in power.

The demographics in the West are heavily skewed towards older generations who had a lot more kids than their kids, who are now having less kids than their parents. The power discrepancy directly follows from that and in my opinion so does the disconnect between the generations.

The "retiree draft" is just an absurd proposal which will do exactly one thing: increase resentment and further disconnect.

People have always wanted a better world, and the young have a very different lens than you to judge that, it's absolutely common to become more conservative when you grow older because you lived through how the world was before, that world is gone and the before of the youth's future is right now, they will strive to make it better just like you might have had in your past.

An old man sitting down and pointing fingers at how the youth is corrupted compared to their golden days is a tale as old as time, you're just playing your part of this endless cycle...

Aristotle ~400 BC:

> They think they know everything, and are always quite sure about it.”

Horace ~20-50 BC:

> Our sires' age was worse than our grandsires'.
We, their sons, are more worthless than they;
so in our turn we shall give the world a progeny yet more corrupt.

> The beardless youth… does not foresee what is useful, squandering his money.

You'll find many, many many many more examples of the same rhetoric across all human writing.

Old man yells at cloud, let the youth carry the fire of bettering societies, you already got comfortable and scared.
Encryption with the same key and repeated nonce/counter produce the same cipher stream. Ciphertext in GCM (or CTR) mode is cipherstream XOR plaintext, thus given two ciphertexts with the same key/nonce:

ciphertext1 XOR ciphertext2 = (cipherstream XOR plaintext1) XOR (cipherstream XOR plaintext2) = plaintext1 XOR plaintext2

In GCM it can also break authentication.

Where do you see 1053 t/s for L2 70b?

From their benchmark table, they achieve 1.8s response time at bs=4 for 256 output tokens, which would be 569 t/s throughput.

At bs=1 you are memory bandwidth bound. So as a simple ceiling we divide the memory bandwidth by the model size (70b is roughly 140gb at fp16). That would yield roughly 24 t/s for H100 and 39 t/s for MI300x.

I'm not really sure how GEMM optimizations alone would yield these sort of improvements at fp16. With quantization, where dequant overheads start to become compute bound, or at very high batch sizes, it makes sense and there has been a lot of work with various kernels in this area. But I'm a bit confused at fp16 and bs=1.

Maybe someone smarter can chime in?

EDIT: Ok I watched their video, which shows 39.75 t/s in the unoptimized (which checks out given the above rough maths) and 313.95 t/s for the optimized. I'm not really sure what's going on here.
That's only tangentially related to economics. There are no economic reasons why I prefer TBS to FPS games.
