Recently I did some testing of the IPEX-LLM llama.cpp backend on LNL's Xe2: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1gheslj/testing...

Based on scaling by XMX/engine clock napkin math, the B580 should have 230 FP16 TFLOPS and 456 GB/s MBW theoretical. At similar efficiency to LNL Xe2, that should be about pp512 ~4700 t/s and tg128 ~77 t/s for a 7B class model. This would be about 75% of a 3090 for pp and 50% for tg (and of course, 50% of memory). For $250, that's not too bad.

I do want to note a couple things from my poking around. The IPEX-LLM [1] was very responsive, and was able to address an issue I had w/ llama.cpp within days. They are doing weekly update releases, so that's great. The IPEX stands for Intel Extension for PyTorch [2] and it is a mostly drop-in for PyTorch: "Intel® Extension for PyTorch* extends PyTorch* with up-to-date features optimizations for an extra performance boost on Intel hardware. Optimizations take advantage of Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel® AVX-512) Vector Neural Network Instructions (VNNI) and Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX) on Intel CPUs as well as Intel Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) AI engines on Intel discrete GPUs. Moreover, Intel® Extension for PyTorch* provides easy GPU acceleration for Intel discrete GPUs through the PyTorch* xpu device."

All of this depends on Intel oneAPI Base Kit [3] which has easy Linux (and presumably Windows) support. I am normally an AUR guy on my Arch Linux workstation, but those are basically broken and I had much more success installing oneAPI Base Kit (w/o issues) directly in Arch Linux. Sadly, this is also where there are issues some of the code is either dependent on older versions of oneAPI Base Kit that are no longer available (vLLM requires oneAPI Base Toolkit 2024.1 - this is not available for download from the Intel site anymore) or in dependency hell (GPU whisper simply will not work, ipex-llm[xpu] has internal conflicts from the get go), so it's not all sunshine. On average, ROCm w/ RNDA3 is much more mature (while not always the fastest, most basic things do just work now).

A somewhat different question, but interesting! I assume by clone you mean an exact physical copy, down to a molecular level.

In my view, there would now be two separate instances of "my" consciousness simultaneously. "I" would continue to see through the original one, but the copy would essentially feel the same as me, although increasingly diverging as our experiences would not be the same from that point.
I am looking at https://github.com/michalc/OpenTTDLab/blob/main/examples/02-... and wondering if this isn't hyperthreading being enabled.

If you have 4 real cores, with 2 hyperthreads, the system reports 8 CPUs. But that's fake. Hyperthreads share most of their compute and register resources, so they only work well if a core is spending most of its time waiting. 2 hyperthreads both doing full compute will basically work at half speed each, which is close to what your graph is showing.

BTW, you can check on Linux with this command
LANG=C lscpu
and checking the Thread(s) per core value

You said

> Without innovations and highly profitable industries generating well paying working class jobs, with what will you pay for that welfare and quality of life

Without presumes with none, and you're saying it like it's true.

> The EU economy was at the same level as the US economy 15-20 years ago., now it's only half the US. The EU missed out on all the major technological innovations in that time

Really, all major technological innovations? Why is the leading music streaming provider Swedish (Spotify)? Leading and most advanced airplane manufacturer European (Airbus)? Why are there so many fintechs which are a decade ahead of US counterparts (Revolut, Monzo, MyPOS, SumUp, Bunq, Qonto) and why is finance-related tech so much ahead - you can pay contactless pretty much anywhere in most of the EU and UK, you can accept card payments with your phone and just an app, all banks have to have an API with Oauth to be able to aggregate accounts and whatever? Also I'd like to add advancements in nuclear fusion. Also I haven't experienced healthcare in the US, but from what I've seen it doesn't look like there's anything even close to the seamlessness of Doctolib in France.

The EU is indeed falling behind, IMO mostly due to lack of capital, risk/gambling averseness, and the much smaller individual markets. But to say it has missed all innovations, or that it has no innovation is simply untrue. We need more of them, we need to invest into more of them, because there's a lot of potential that needs to be nurtured and grow.
Usually, you can do 2 AVX-512 operations per cycle and using FMADD (fused multiply-add) instructions, you can do two floating point operations for the price of one. That would be 128 operations per cycle per core. The result would be 16TFlops on a 2GHz 64 core CPU, not 4 TFlops. This would give a 1 order of magnitude difference, rather than 4 orders of magnitude.

For inference, prompt processing is compute intensive, while token generation is memory bandwidth bound. The differences in memory bandwidth between CPUs and GPUs tend to be more profound than the difference in compute.
I've heard of such things but being a Brit it's alien to me. I have never even seen such a place.

But reading this and the comments here, it occurs to me we sort of have something comparable: the legendary Full English Breakfast.

Post-Corona cars are all much brighter. Its gotten so bad that I'm frequently left wondering if people are driving with high beams or just regular new-age lights. Got to wait to see if the person on the other side drops the lights to be sure. SUVs in particular are bad especially during acceleration which points the lights higher and on inclined road. I also regularly "switch" rear-view mirror to dim mode otherwise I'm literally 3-way blinded also from side mirrors. I didn't do any of these things regularly 5y ago. I'm still wondering if this is just automotive industry incompetence of making safe vehicles or an "incentive" to buy a SUV yourself so you don't get blinded all the time.

Some cars have matrix LED headlights, where the car can turn off the LEDs pointing at oncoming cars, as well as turn the lights when driving around corners.

Here [1] is the VW ID.3. It's subtle, but notice how the area around the other cars is much darker. In real life it's kind of amazing to watch, as you see the LEDs follow the other cars on the road and "erase" them from the light.

> lot of clojure developers could benefit from this immensely.

Curious what you think Clojure developers could benefit from specifically.

Having done web services in both languages I much prefer the experience in Clojure. E.g. found error handling in Gin to be very cumbersome (AbortWithStatusJSON and such). The deployment story is nicer in Go, tho.

Clojue CLR is behind JVM support (and performance), but it has been a thing from the start, not just a "port".
At least it's a relatively easy fix, though owners still have to make the trip to a service center
I thought of that too, but also the US banning Kinder Surprise eggs.
As I've found out trying to load a golang-built .so in an Alpine Python environment, Go makes many assumptions about the system it's running on, and one of them seems to be "if linux, then glibc". Something to do with environment variables being at a magical offset somewhere that caused a null dereference.

Maybe it's been fixed since, but I wouldn't assume Go doesn't have any C dependencies.

I took a 2-second peek at the code, and just wanted to offer a small piece of advice that I think makes it better. Or two, really. Counting is hard.

Instead of (this is from parser.c):

apply_result *ret = (apply_result*)malloc(sizeof(apply_result));

apply the two common principles of DRY [1] and "don't cast the return value of malloc()" [2] and you get:

apply_result *ret = malloc(sizeof *ret);

I think the latter is way better.

Blinking / flashing bike lights were kind of OK when they were in the 10-20 lumen range. But nowadays even the cheap ones are on the order of several hundred lumens, which is a completely different game. It is possible to buy a 1000 lumen light for around 50 EUR (Magicshine), now consider that a single car headlight is around 1500 lumens... These lights have no cutoff beam.

The problem is not even cars though, but other cyclists. Even with a cutoff beam it is easy to blind oncoming traffic if the light is not setup correctly. Flashing, it should be illegal.

Pedestrians are uncommon in most of the US, and where they are common people are supposed to be driving slow anyway. If somebody is flaunting the speed limit and hits a pedestrian and sends them flying fifty feet down the road, the value of their car being ostensibly built for pedestrian safety is very dubious.

You know, whenever I see stuff like this or the Deep Into YouTube subreddits, it always makes me wonder what it must be like for the person that posted the original video. There they are with a video they randomly threw online without any intention of it becoming popular, only to see their mostly abandoned channel blow up overnight as their random clips get thousands of views.

Depending on the user, it must be either the coolest thing ever or the creepiest thing ever, with little in between. Kudos to anyone that takes the opportunity and uses it as a reason to kickstart a YouTube career or something.

Regardless, it's always interesting to see, since:

1. It shows you just how big YouTube is, and how few of the videos posted there get any attention at all. The fact there's a huge percentage of the platform viewed by no one is just mind boggling to me.

2. It illustrates how little marketing skill correlates to video editing skill, since there are interesting videos going ignored due to their creator's inability to add a good title or thumbnail or metadata, or which were uploaded on a whim without any of that stuff being taken into account.
If all, they are assuming the opposite.

A Short History of the 303 in 12 songs [video]
I'm a bit confused about this AC/DC vs "Carla Frey" comparison. For starters, I can't find any musicians by the name of Carla Frey. There is however a free jazz pianist named Carla Bley. It feels like OP has maybe selected a niche artist that they're personally fond of. I had a listen and it's the sort of stuff you'd get in hotel lobbies. It's nice, and it probably means a lot to people who are really into jazz, but I suspect that few people will ever hear of this artist. Conversely, Angus Young of AC/DC is extremely musically gifted and I suspect that songs like Thunderstruck will have a large social impact for years to come. There's nothing dumb about their songs. Though I don't put much stock in Spotify listens, it has 1.6 billion vs Bley's most popular "Lawns" having around 2 million.

Sure, there are cases where great artists are not well known in their own time - from Mozart to Nick Drake - but recognition generally follows in the subsequent decades. If Carla Bley is who they inteded to refer to, they've had over 50 years to become recognised.

> Renewables-produced electricity reduces fossil the amount -fuel-produced electricity

Why the hell would you show me the same graph I showed you earlier, but with only 3 years of history? That graph, over time, shows that fossil hovers around 10%, has been for decades now. Renewables is not decreasing fossil use here.

> A large part of resources needed by electrification isn't needed to build electricity-producing equipment.

As France is a market economy, the issue isn't resources, money is.

> Starting right now to build in order to replace 40-years old nuclear plants

Here is the issue: you don't give a fuck about CO2, all you care about is for renewables to replace nuclear, another clean energy source. All of your discourse is warped and dishonest because you want to pretend that you care about catbon emissions when, in fact, you don't.

If you cared about carbon emissions you would focus on means to lower carbon emissions: electrifiying.

Completely anecdotally, but my personal experience over the past ~2.5 years of using Emacs has been the opposite of a dwindling community. Releases are frequent, often containing exciting new features; the community maintains many great packages, with new ones get released frequently; and I see more Emacs discussions online than I did when I started using Emacs, many of which involve new users. Emacs has a brutal learning curve, awful defaults and ancient bones, so will always appeal to a smaller number of people than VSCode or (Neo)Vim. However, for those willing to learn the arcane art, it can wield immense power.

Why can the tests not be ran automatically and why not let anyone deploy at anytime? Like, if super senior dev or first day intern deploy, I expect tests to run and the deployment to go out and for systems to be automatically monitored and the deployment reverted if errors pop up, and also manually revertable if a test missed something.

Absolutely, let the designer deploy. Let them have stage access first so they can play, sure. But let them not be blocked. And if they turn the site purple, consider revoking the trust. But default to trust

Because of government intervention, and moat of a highly regulated and expensive to enter industry that keeps new players out. Why is SpaceX ahead of EU aerospace companies?

Spotify wasn't even profitable until recently and only made it where it is today, due to to massive capital investments form the US, not from EU investors.

>Why are there so many fintechs which are a decade ahead of US counterparts

Are they also ahead in earnings/profits too? Because you fund welfare with taxes on profits and on wages. You can't tax innovations that bring you no money.

That's where
While you keep blabbering on about Airbus, Monzo and Spotify , have a look at the top 100 companies in the world by market cap and see how many are from the EU and how many from the US and that's case closed. AIrbus, Spotify, etc are the rare exceptions, not the norm for Europe.
