The low clock frequency when executing AVX-512 workloads is a frequency where the CPU operates efficiently, with a low energy consumption per operation executed.

For such a workload that executes a very large number of operations per second, the CPU cannot afford to operate inefficiently because it will overheat.

When a CPU core has many execution units that are idle, so they do not consume power, like when executing only scalar operations or only operations with narrow 128-bit vectors, it can afford to raise the clock frequency e.g. by 50%, even if that would increase the energy consumption per operation e.g. 3 times. By executing 4 times or 8 times less operations per clock cycle, even if the energy consumption is 3 times higher the total power consumption is smaller and the CPU does not overheat and the desktop owner does not care that the completion of the same workload requires much more energy, because it is likely that the owner cares more about the time to completion.

The clock frequency of a GPU also varies continuously depending on the workload, in order to maintain the power consumption within the limits. However a GPU is not designed to be able to increase the clock frequency as much as a CPU. The fastest GPUs have clock frequencies under 3 GHz, while the fastest CPUs exceed 6 GHz.

The reason is that normally one never launches a GPU program that would use only a small fraction of the resources of a GPU allowing a higher clock frequency, so it makes no sense to design a GPU for this use case.

Designing a chip for a higher clock frequency greatly increases the size of the chip, as shown by the comparison between a normal Zen core designed for 5.7 GHz and a Zen compact core, designed e.g. for 3.3 GHz, a frequency not much higher than that of a GPU.

On Zen compact cores and on normal Zen cores configured for server CPUs with a large number of cores, e.g. 128 cores (with a total of 4096 FP32 ALUs, like a low-to-mid-range desktop GPU, or like a top desktop GPU of 5 years ago; a Zen compact server CPU can have 6144 FP32 ALUs, more than a RTX 4070), the clock frequency variation range is small, very similar to the clock variation range of a GPU.

In conclusion, it is not the desktop/laptop CPUs which drop their clock frequency, but it is the GPUs which never raise their clock frequency much, the same as the server CPUs, because neither GPUs nor server CPUs are normally running programs that keep most of their execution units idle, to allow higher clock frequencies without overheating.

The exact same thing is said for every new form of tech. All tech has its good parts and bad parts. It was true of the black and white television, it was true of the Nintendo, it was true of the cell phone and it will be true if this technology as well.

You either accept that change happens and use your life experience to help shape it in a positive direction or, well… I dunno. Become a old curmudgeon and watch the world blow by you.

Because people who buy the hype are annoying and pervasive.

That said, annoying people will move on to hyping something else.
This one has legs because it plays into the "landlords are evil" vibe, but it makes zero sense. There are thousands of landlords in any given city, if not millions. It's not uncommon for a local landlord to only own a single building, and even the ones that own multiple properties will almost never exceed a single digit percentage of local real estate. The exceptions are things like company towns which is just not what anybody is talking about here. But if you own 0.3% of the units in a city, withdrawing some of your units from the market is not going to materially affect the city-wide rental price for the other units.

The evil thing the landlords do is go to the planning and zoning boards and lobby to prevent anyone else from increasing the supply of local rental units.
> The man can speak three languages very competently. That's two more than Vance and three more than Trump.

Would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sadly true
So? That's still going to ruin kids education. I still would like to see AI burn
We reduced rent during COVID both for a present tenant and for the following tenant. Generally those statistics are across all units while individual experiences can be wildly different.

[Edit] FWIW that was based on the rental market rather than anything related to asset value.
We’re increasingly protecting rich folks from the consequences of bad investments, I wonder how much this moral hazard impacts mobility?
We didn't purchase a tool, but instead built our own.

> most AI code review tools on the market today are fundamentally author-focused, not reviewer-focused.

This pretty much describes our experience. Our engineers create a PR and now wait for the review bot to provide feedback. The author will any fix any actual issues the bot brings up and only then will they publish the PR to the rest of the team.

From our experience there are 4 things that make the bot valuable:

1. Any general logical issues in the code are caught with relative certainty (not evaluating a variable value properly or missing a potential edge case, etc).

2. Some of the comments the bot leaves are about the business logic in code and asking about it and having the author provide a clearer explanation helps reviewers to understand what's going on as well if it wasn't clear enough from the code itself.

3. We provide a frontend platform to other engineers in the company that our operations teams interact with. The engineers rarely implement more than 1-2 features a year. We gave the bot a list of coding and frontend guidelines that we enforce (capitalisation rules, title formatting, component spacing, etc) and it will remind reviewers about these requirements.

4. We told it to randomly change it's way of talking from Yoda to Dr Seuss and some of the comments, while correct on a technical level, are absolutely hilarious and can give you a short giggle in an otherwise stressful day.
Not really, no. The land the BLM owns is mostly scrubland suitable for cattle grazing and basically nothing else. I suspect whoever told you that has an ideological bone to pick with the BLM and is bullshitting you to try and make you equally mad at them.
There's plenty of work for educated people. And my understanding is that each dollar in education spending adds many dollars to the overall economy, an indicator of its importance.

What we need is wealth that's spread out more evenly so more of our educated (and just simply smart) people have the resources to apply that education in valuable ways. If you have a valuable education but the only way to make a living is to work for some tech company selling ads or writing increasingly sophisticated AI software then, yeah, you're being wasted.

Or if the entire economy is aligned to whatever whim Elon Musk or Donald Trump in their most gracious overlordship feels like funding. The a lot of valuable people will be wasted.
I had to throw out the notes I had taken while on shrooms because they literally looked like I had lost my mind if someone had seen them
That would be incorrect. It refers to the embarassing shit people in the military do, typically right out of basic (boot camp). Everyone is a little bit boot in the beginning, you just learn to cut it out.

And no, the infantry aren't stupid. Thinking that qualifying as an Infantry Officer means your qualified to run the entire war is stupid.
I see this a lot as someone that came from a solidly middle-class background (parents were a teacher and secretary) and went to a "highly-ranked" university with plenty of upper-middle or upper class students.

I work in the same jobs as my peers, but there is a clear wealth difference in how our lives are spent.

We have a nice house in a good neighborhood, but our peers have very nice houses is some of the best neighborhoods due in large part to down payment gifts, gifts for remodeling, etc. We can both afford the mortgage payment, but the down payment would take us probably a decade to save for.

On vacations, we'll drive a couple hours away with the kids, while our peers will fly to Europe and spend two weeks since they pay for the flights and their parents pay for lodging and food.

And then there is family support. Some of my peers have parents who bought second (or third) homes to be closer to their grandchildren, or will pay for the very nice private school, etc.

It's taken me a lot to not very bitter about this -- and I'm clearly still a little bitter -- but I also know that we will likely be in a position to offer some of this support to our kids in 20+ years.
Your comment is really interesting, but I didn't fully understand.

What do you mean by "metals don't actually withstand temperature"? As in the raw metal would melt were it not for the cooling vanes?

'If powered down, the engine would destroy itself' - from what? Overheating?

The lower power setting on shutdown does what? Spin it at a low RPM so it doesn't decrease in temp too quickly?
Putin started the war, but U.S. policy played a major role in keeping it going. The so-called "adults" spent years writing blank checks, refusing to push for peace, and actively discouraging negotiations.

Trump has been in office for barely a month, and you're already declaring his efforts a "failure"? Wars don’t end in 30 days, especially when the previous administration spent two years fueling it instead of pushing for a resolution.

America operates on its own timeline, not anyone else's. If we want to change our approach to Ukraine, we should do it in a way that aligns with our interests, not because of some artificial urgency. The fact that negotiations are already moving forward with Putin should tell you something: a real process is happening. If the previous administration had done its job, we wouldn’t even be in this mess.
Well, we could ‘maybe’ ourselves to a lot of admirable explanations but lacking specific evidence that any of them are true, Occam’s Razor is the most reasonable way to evaluate this. In the very recent past Altman had shown no meaningful attempt to make this company sustainable. He has worked to increase its growth rate, but that’s a very different goal.
Some historians agree, some disagree. It's a typical question for your high school history exams. A good one as one can arrive at both answers when looking at the historic facts. In very short: The German Reich wanted that war and pushed it, but so did the other European nations.

But that's not a valid discussion topic for here.
> For instance, suppose Mozilla partners with a search engine and could be claimed to get a discount or some other consideration for letting that search partner use search terms to improve the search engine. Something that isn't advertising related at all. That's probably a sale under CPRA.

If a search engine partner wants to use search terms to improve their search engine, they only have to look at their own logs. They don't need Mozilla to collect, aggregate, and sell them any data to accomplish that. Mozilla doesn't need to worry about selling data if they never possess that data in the first place.

Your complaint about "other valuable consideration" is just a complaint that the law isn't crippled by stupid loopholes.
> invest some of it in the real world, not leave it in the bank.

The richer you get, the more likely you are to engage in wealth management. This necessarily means investment. No one who's rich has that much liquidity or money just laying around. This is as stupid as hiding cash in your mattress.

The question is which are genuine investments or scams. And this cannot be emphasized enough: either money is made from value-generating labor, or you are in the business of theft. There is no middle ground or third option.

This is why I think one key element of restoring sanity to economies is the categorical criminalization of usury. Compound interest is theft, and it boggles the mind how easily people are intimidated into going along with the rationalizations purporting to explain that it is not (all that nonsense about opportunity cost, as if that is the borrower's problem or responsibility). Banks are important, but they are not productive per se. The only ways a bank can legitimately make money is through service fees and investments (and real investments, where there is a kind of partnership and proportionate skin in the game, not magic bailout money or some kind of weird accounting magic).

Once we destroy the superstitious idea that money can be bred, stop using euphemisms for theft, and acknowledge labor as the basis of all economic value, we will see a healthy economic shift and more distributive justice. Housing markets will improve, too. The change is deep cutting.

The whole discussion about inequality or taxing the rich or inheritance is confused and frankly a distraction from real problems, and I suspect at times a purposeful distraction, because it preserves perverse economic norms (making the tax simply the cost of doing business) instead of correcting them, which is the real threat.
We don't allow people to use mustard gas willy nilly as their technology of choice. But sure, your "there's good and bad to everything!!! change is inevitable!!" platitudes are useful too.

And your tech examples don't offload actual process of thinking to others the way AI does. The comparisons are surface level and ignore what I actually said.
> If I am interested in a topic, I actually read the primary sources,

You're not referring to any primary sources here.

> In that respect I am easily better informed than 99 % of people

Bold claim, but even if true, doesn't mean that you can accurately assess the situation.

> there are essentially two points of view, either Russia has expansionist ambitions or Russia has legitimate security concerns not taken serious by the West.

The first is evidence based - Russia is expanding. The second has the convenient property that it backwards rationalizes Russia's violent actions, while not looking at the evidence. It requires mental gymnastics, and is therefore more popular with Russians who have an interest in believing it.

> nuance does not matter here because we disagree on the absolute fundamentals

Like what? Do you deny that Russia invaded Ukraine?

> am I neither Russian nor American nor do I feel close ties to any side

This is presenting the conflict as just two empires fighting over who gets the influence over the European countries, and completely ignores these countries' own agency.

The reason Ukraine wants to join NATO is because they're threatened by a neighbor who actively invades their territory, kills civilians, disrupts their economy ands terrorizes them. Not because they like Biden or want to be American.

But neither does your dismissal of OP’s point help those people either. The damage has already been done. This is an internet comment thread at best.

Understanding that people aren’t 100% evil also helps you understand “how are ANY of the locals around him ok with this guy being in charge?” Because it helps to see the next one coming.
Humans learn. LLM context windows are vastly larger than our short-term memory, but vastly smaller than our long-term recollection. LLMs can recall vastly more information than our long-term memory, but only from their static training data.

Also, even though LLMs can generate text much faster than humans, we may be internally thinking much faster. Each adult human brain has over 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion synapses, and each has been working every moment, for decades.

This is what separates human reasoning from LLM reasoning, and it can’t be solved by scaling the latter to anything feasible.

I wish AI companies would take a decent chunk of their billions, and split it into 1000+ million-dollar projects that each try a different idea to overcome these issues, and others (like emotion and alignment). Many of these projects would certainly fail, but some may produce breakthroughs. Meanwhile, spending the entire billion on scaling compute has failed and will continue to fail, because everyone else does that, so the resulting model has no practical advantages and makes less money than it cost to train before it becomes obsoleted by other people’s breakthroughs.
Chances of what? Of winning in a war against a far bigger country with bigger military complex? It could just avoid the war (if followed Moscow's demands (and Moscow didn't demand much)), but I think it had no chances in winning a war.

As for the 3 days - you seem to be uninformed, just google how fast Russian forces captured Gostomel airport near Kyiv.

Then Zelensky threw white flag and peace talks started, but then Zelensky changed his position and now it's a war to the last militant Ukrainian.

As for NK - they were just on an excursion to learn from Russian battle front, since NK is now Russia's ally and this was done just for the case if/when this war changes into a WW3.
Elon got started with zip2 when South African socialists induced capital flight causing elons dad to send his money and Elon to the USA/Canada.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what a moat is in this industry.

If GPT 4.5 had nothing of value to offer other than a flex of opening eyes ability to scale, it’s still a signal that they have the chops to throw the most amount of compute at the upcoming reinforcement learning race.

If you’re actually selling enterprise solutions in this space, you’ll quickly learn that a large number of Enterprises have their own private deployment of open AI on Azure and are pushing their vendors to use that even if it means they get lower quality outputs for certain use cases.

Data and model quality aren’t the only moat-able features.
You can get pretty much all the benefits, if you know how to apply a little bit of elbow grease, from open source models at this point so even if the business model doesnt work, this is a technology that we all have now which is great.
> We don't understand human cognition despite literally thousands of years of thought and study, but some nerds with a thousand GPUs are going to make a machine think? Ridiculous.

DNA doesn't understand intelligence.

"The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim." - Edsger Dijkstra.

And what we have now, with LLMs, met the standard I had for AGI just five years ago.

Only thing that changed for me since then is noticing that not only does everyone have a different definition of what AGI even is, also none of the three initials are even boolean-valued: "how intelligent" can be a number, or even a vector that varies by domain as linguistic intelligence doesn't have to match spatial intelligence; "how general" could be what percentage of human cognitive tasks the AI can do; "how artificial" is answered entirely differently by those who care differently about learning from first principles vs. programmed algorithms vs. learning from reading the internet.

> People were misled by graphs that they were told pointed to a singularity right around the corner, despite obvious errors in the extant systems.

Tautology.

If there weren't obvious errors in the extant systems… there wouldn't be anything left to do.
North Korea is a China agent in this context. China is pretty much supplying all the goods that went away due to western sanctions, everything Russian factories need, and buying all the exports that the west is trying to sanction.

My statement had nothing to do with Trump maintaining sanctions or not. If he doesn't some future administration will. US relations with the Soviets also fluctuated during the cold war.
To steelman the argument that wealth is earned, this kind of stuff tend to follow a power law. So a 10% increase in effort or talent can result in a several fold increase in wealth - especially when the effects of compounding interest are considered.

This is most apparent in sports or the arts. Being just a little bit better at baseball can be the difference between a million dollar contract and being stuck in the minor leagues.

Of course the question of whether we should want success to follow a power law is a different matter. As is the role of luck. Going back to the sports example, being born at the right time of year can be a huge, permanent advantage[1].

The IRS already files its own version of your taxes. They use their version to check against what you the individual files.
Congrats on delivering this fun project! I do a lot of work with synchronizing media content across devices so it’s always fun to see the solutions people come up with. You probably came across them in your research, but the industry standard way of creating a synced video wall like this is with BrightSign media players. The total cost for purchasing them and the screens would for 20 displays could easily end up in the 10s of thousands, so big kudos to you guys for finding a way to make this work with recycled devices.

If you are ever interested in working on some mediasync-related codebases hit me up! We hire devs to do freelance contracts fairly often.
One of my least favorite things about webdev is how JS seems to suck all the air out of the room on certain topics.

My comment was tongue in cheek. I'm not a web focused guy and I learned HTML long enough ago that I have no specific moral objection to tables. I used them in a quick personal project a few months ago.
Is it? I think the more common right-wing argument is that you shouldn't have taxes / the IRS is just evil / the whole government apparatus needs to be burned to the ground.

(I do not agree with it, it's just what I interpret the arguments to be)
"Somewhere Europe has to grow out of the mindset that Europe’s problems are the world’s problems but the world’s problems are not Europe’s problems."
European elites and American military industrial complex inching towards Russia using NATO is the problem.
World won't go to war over this because unlike World War I and II, rest of the world are not Europe's colony.
American people elected Trump to say the same. They too are unwilling to fight for the European elites.
This is not world's problem. Only EU have to handle it.
By definition, you're not poor if you own a multigenerational million dollar house in Los Angeles.
