Fossil burning plants that capture carbon do it for the greenwashing, not because there might be some use for the concentrated CO2. Renewable burning plants have little incentive to greenwash. Renewable burning does exist, and I suppose that group is much bigger than the tiny subset of fossil burning plants that actually do capture. If we include waste incineration plants in the renewable group (the true multifuel specialists) then the conclusion is that capacity is already abundant, and some of those might actually be considering capture (but their greenwashing pressure isn't remotely as big as in e.g. the coal business, where the greenwashing is nothing less than an existential last ditch hail mary attempt)

I'm sure all those media outlets and rights organisations are going to love this logic, and it's not going to backfire at all. They're already being sued by multiple news organisations, the author's guild of America, a few celebrities and likely many other organisations in the coming few months, and I'm sure at least some of the lawyers of those people are going to end up using this quote in court.

When you are 65 then you already have done a lot for the economy of the country. The probelm at hand is that 30% of the workforce will retire in 2030 because of the baby boom in 60s. In the 2030s there will be many open jobs for young people to show their talent and AI will help them to be even more productive. There is no need to bother old frail people into social service. Very often people in their 60s are burnt out and will not be very helpful for the society anymore.

People may think they want non-AI stuff, but they just want things created with intention. AI is just a tool, and the very best creators will leverage it to take art to a new level.

They fixed it after the issue was present for MANY YEARS, exactly as stated.
I agree. This article is clearly written with a generative language model. A few other telltale signs:

1. Repeating the same thing multiple times with slight variation:

* "allowing developers to fine-tune their applications and unlock the full potential of their underlying hardware, ultimately maximising vLLM performance." (fine-tune, unlock potential, maximize performance are all roughly the same thing)

* "AI and machine learning models" (AI and machine learning models are the same thing in the context of this article)

* "utilise multiple threads or cores" (Why differentiate between threads and cores?)

* "tailored to enhance computational efficiency and overall throughput" (efficiency and throughput are highly related)

* "a series of graphs and data visualisations" (all the data visualizations in this article are graphs)

* "more computational effort and time" (same thing)

* "significantly enhanced the performance and efficiency" (same thing)

* "ensuring efficient processing and superior performance for complex and demanding AI workloads" (same things)

2. Explaining what "rocBLAS" stands for multiple times.

3. Other ChatGPTisms:

* "offering a comprehensive view of [...]"

* "Let’s delve into the notable advancements achieved through [...]"

* "ensures quicker processing times, which is crucial for [...]"

* "effectively mitigated these impacts, maintaining [...]"

* "elucidate the impact of"

* "significantly enhanced"

* "These results underscore the critical role of [...]"

* "Key Aspects", "Key Observations", "Key findings"

So why is this bad? - Because it undermines the trust in the the article. We do not know whether the claims are actually true or whether they were just made up by ChatGPT.
Dont buy funds. Make your own. Buy 100 stocks every year for few euros and sell those that have no life.

Five years ago I sold such dead duck at enormous loss. I bought NVIDIA, because maybe those Bitcoin-nuts support it.

Also very similarly I bought 1992 almost bankrupted NOKIA, because it was so deeply in government contracts that it cannot go bust.

All other stuff in the 100 papers portfolio have been quite uninteresting.

The lesson I making here is this: If you buy funds, the fund manager is BY LAW obliged to balance the bucket. She cannot let those few winners run their due course and you will never get truly rich.
> Devops is when you have developers who are empowered.

That’s just half true. If something doesn’t work in production, guess who can get mysql production logs? Not the developers. Can you access production dbs (not that that’s the way to fix things, but I have seen that in many orgs)? Nop. And if there’s anything you can do yourself (like changing things via TF files), you’ll need to wait until the gatekeepers approve your request.

The gatekeeper are usually called platform engineers.

But in any case, I don’t want all that power (and responsibility) either if it does not come with an increased compensation.

I mean maybe I'm missing something but it seems like it behaves exactly the same way as subtraction? At least for integers it's definitely the same, for floats I imagine it might handle equals better?
Or batteries.

Batteries have huge potential, simply due to the fact that they're so broadly defined - must store energy, output it as electricity on demand, and be cheap. There's a high chance that we find some way to make grid-scale batteries extremely cheaply, in the future.

In the mean time, getting to 90% will basically stop climate change in its tracks, giving us time to research dirt-cheap batteries.
I don’t think mortality is the right measure, here.

I don't usually like to do this, because clearly someone wrote this post (or at the very least they cared enough to have a LLM help draft it :P). Maybe it's just me and my interests not being aligned with the content. But I just found myself kind of disappointed by the content?

Like, the post is about how you can do GEMM tuning on AMD GPUs, a subject which is inherently super interesting–there's a lot of nuance to writing optimal kernels, and some of this is expressed in the article, too. Combine that with an architecture that isn't Nvidia? It's an excellent setup for something that would be interesting to read.

Which makes the actual conclusion all the more disappointing, IMO. There's nothing about what the actual optimizations are. It's just "oh yeah we tuned our GEMMs and now LLaMA is faster". Like, I get that nobody actually cares about GEMM and they just want tokens to come out of their GPU. But still, that's like writing a blog post about how you can speed up your game with SIMD and then posting some charts of how Cyberpunk 2077 gives you 2x the frame rate now. Ok, but how? I just feel like the interesting part is missing.
Reading this makes me think his pendulum has swung to the other extreme.

Experience has decreasing marginal returns. Being 40 doesn't make you 4 times as experienced as an adult as a 25 year old. Being 80 doesn't make you 8 times as experienced.

Being a 25 year old you actually have learned a lot about being an adult, and you shouldn't think that time on its own will increase that. It's more the variety of experience that teaches things than time itself, especially if you repeat things for a long time.
I take it you aren’t pregnant right now…
vLLM is widely used (and what is used in this benchmark) which is far easier to setup and maintain than TensorRT.

vLLM is not quite as performant but it's pretty close in production environments.

Agreed. Once long (10+ years) ago, google3 may have been peak codebase. Nowadays, not so much.

Edit: I guess it also depends at what level of abstraction you work. High: can be easy breezy. Low: oh boy.

Please do be careful and monitor the condition of your chain if you're going to deliberately let it degrade. You can cause yourself quite a nasty accident when your chain snaps, or even slips on the teeth at an unfortunate moment. I'd personally find a different way to increase the effort e.g. carry more mass
True. But an LLM product is closely associated with a single company and unlike a search engine which can claim it only shows you what is already available, the LLM will seem like it personally tells you something harmful. When they want to sell it as a helpful assistant that kind of behavior will undermine that goal.

We saw all the bad press companies have got in recent years for all kinds of unintended AI outputs.
Well-written, at least he had writing to fall back on. There's a humour just under the surface in his reflections.

From Wikipedia: His pro career spanned 7 years from 2005-2012. He earned $247,686 in prize money. He made it to a few grand slams, even playing Novak at the US Open, although he retired from the match in the second set due to food poisoning!
Fair, that makes sense. Not a very common use case I think unless you're talking more about heavy use of microservices that need a feature flag across the entire suite.

Well, that's pretty far from true. For example, creatine supplementation is very well supported for a majority of strength trainers; obviously protein supplementation is as well if necessary.

The likelihood of a thread that big being about something quite important is also very high though.

They probably have to write a totally different fetching logic for the Safari wrapper. If Apple wasn't as scummy as they are, they would have used the same logic as in other platforms where this problem doesn't seem to exist.
CUDA and ROCm work under Pytorch. If ROCm does not work well Pytorch does not work well.

Nvidia has multiple advantages.

1. Same software written in PyTorch works across all relatively modern Nvidia chips. With AMD and ROCm that's not the case.

2. M̶I̶3̶0̶0̶x̶ h̶a̶s̶ n̶o̶ F̶P̶8̶ s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶r̶t̶.

3. Comparisons against H100 are always like this:

8x AMD MI300X (192GB, 750W) GPU
8x H100 SXM5 (80GB, 700W) GPU

The fair comparison would be against

8x H100 NVL (188GB, <800W) GPU

And that they never do.

4. H100 is 21 month old architecture. MI300X is 7 months. Nvidia moved into new architecture every year pace. AMD is generation behind and must step up the pace. B100 comes out this year.

AMD is getting closer, but don't except them to catch Nvidia in not time.
On the one side: Yes, truer words have never been spoken. You want a new feature added? Want to talk about how the project should change directions? Want to impose new rules? Do a little power play? Yeah, start working on the project, implementing changes/features you want to see.

On the other side: No. When you provide software that is widely used and that people rely on, you automatically created a community where fixing bugs is an obligation. Your software has become a corner stone in other people’s software stack/life and so those people and their issues with your software have become your problem, too. If you want it or not.

Hiding behind open source and not fixing bugs has become a deal breaker so many times over the last few decades, that I stopped counting. Not everybody knows the language needed to fix a bug and not everybody understands the dependencies within a project to being able to fix a bug. So “fixing” one bug can create ten new ones and make things much worse.

Not to mention what happens when you attempt to fix the bug but the source is not accepted upstream because it’s bad, which is understandable, but still leaves you with an upstream version of the software and your patched version that fixes said bug.
One of the reasons Google Image Search is so neutered is because it was sued and lost.

This attitude is why so much software is garbage, and why people with limited connections or hardware can't have a good time on the internet.
Well, IMVHO the issue is not a matter of age (38 myself) but about education: ruling classes formed schools to produce the kind of Citizens they want, witch was the goal when reforms was set, but things change and most people are formed to be unable to adapt because if you are in power you want to hold your position so the ideal society you try to achieve is one frozen with you in power. As a results every ruling class demand conformism and conformism demand "stability" and stability means in general being unable to change.

Long story short most of the people are born in a model, have absorbed that and are unable to move. When the time passes we need to change and the "old" generations are simply from another time, unable to be citizens of the present.

The current state of thing is a previous generation born on high growth after a world war, in a high competitive society, a society with strong emotions but also oppression, younger generations are born in a degrading society with much less vivid emotions but much more cooperation, so it's normal to have inter-generational issues where the old generation fear to loose a competition because they ware grown as running horses, if you stop you are dead, while the younger one do not understand why they are so harsh and focused. Back then to keep people subjugated in a fast growing world the rule was "always do the same, trust the system" (at least in most EU) while today the rule is "always doubt and reason on anything, be ready to change" because we are in a degrading society who need to change to reborn.

Unfortunately while most people are kind and honest, most are also mentally unable to evolve and that's why we derail, the world change, the population strive to avoid the change instead of do their best to direct it.

As in fly a scanning pattern around the focus point and look for mirrors that blind the drone instead of frying the tower.

Should be crazy efficient compared to the terrible alternative which would require something like deliberately de-focusing all other mirrors only to be able to verify that the mirror under test actually does project the sun where expected.

Tempted to keep my initial upvote on the "investor hype" sibling, out of spite for all projects that do, but the ability to check arbitrary points in the nonilluminated volume for accidental illumination must really make do much of a difference I can't.

Right. Training models is qualitatively different to educating or entertaining users.

That argument might have more effect if we hadn't just seen Biden and his officials attempt to gaslight the planet over mass murder and ethnic cleansing.

For just one example of many, Biden claiming to have seen pictures of beheaded babies (!) before sending over bombs that actually beheaded real babies, as seen by millions on their Instagram feeds.

For another, smearing peaceful and decent and good protesters at colleges across the country as pro-terrorism, even as we see Zionist gangs actually being violent at those protests. A truly terrifying thing to say give our laws around that topic.

The latest one was when he tweeted angrily about protests in front ofa synagogue (without even mentioning the rather vital context that they were auctioning occupied land inside).

Lying about fucking a porn star just pales in comparison to that.
Why is it great?
The ideal engineer is not emotionally involved in their work.

As much as some may profess to actually believe that it simply isn’t even close to true.

I am sure there are some unicorn exceptions (like the Spock character from Star Trek) but those who are excellent at their work also put a lot of time and effort into it, if not continuously then they’ve at least paid their dues for a span of decades. However they got there it represents a significant emotional investment involving pride and care or even a kind of love.

One can’t know everything all the time. There are ALWAYS going to be gaps in your own ability especially when you’re doing new and difficult work, and the way to bridge those gaps is to be driven by a desire to overcome them— in other words by CARING enough to keep trying.

The most successful people I can think of personally always care enough to overcome gaps in their ability. It looks like incompetence at first, then it becomes obsession, then it becomes problem solving, and it is ends with mastery, IF they CARE enough.
This changed very recently due to EU rules
IMO the problem is worse if considered from the perspective of the user. There is no visual distinction that the chain of trust goes back to a local admin managed store and that the admin can arbitrarily trust certificates outside their proprietary domain.

It should be perfectly reasonable and probably required for an employee to be able to order reimbursed things like travel arraingements with a credit card on their org provided device, but that org may MITM any trust chain for some administrative convenience.

The org itself could cross sign with name constraints if they opt to be good, but would probably end up filing a lot of bugs in various software that can't handle it and their being good is the kind of selfless act that rarely happens without a regulatory requirement to pay for consequences of doing a MITM of your employees on the Internet.
