My employer is counting token usage, so explaining my project between tokens isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I am clearly a more productive engineer because of it \end{sarcasm}

Uber’s situation was different, though. The reason Uber were bleeding money is because they purposefully made all their rides cheap to undercut the taxi businesses. People used Ube…

If your comment is intended to convey sympathy on these workers, I think you're going to have a difficult time finding folks that align with you. If your comment is intended to rem…

You can saturate the entire power budget on pretty much all GPUs just by moving data in and out of HBM. There is no compute needed at all to do this, and bandwidth bound workloads …

Is it? Nobody else can really build on their work.

I am somewhat cynically waiting for the AI community to rediscover the last half a century of linear algebra and optimisation techniques. At some point someone will realise that ba…

It doesn’t work per-song. Songs have multiple chords, some even with alterations. If you tune an E so that it is perfectly a major third above C, then that E won’t be a perfect fif…

I’m trying to make sense of this question. GEMMs are dense O(N^3) work operations that have roughly the same access pattern and data reuse properties across all matrices. Of course…

Ah yes I forgot about that. Thanks for the correction.

The circumference of Earth at the equator is about 40,000 km and the speed of light is about 300,000 km/s. The appropriate division results in about 0.13 s. That seems to track. Th…

Ok that helps. Thank you.

I don’t understand what the visualisation screenshot in the README is trying to communicate to me.

It’s a natural observation, but it doesn’t address the floating point problem. I think the author should have said “fast or would accumulate floating point error” instead of “fast …

What a wonderful comment. It was educational and friendly without holding my hand too much. Thank you.

You originally called someone a redditor making a cringe joke for highlighting a serious historical problem. It wasn't clear to me that it was a joke at all, but my impression is t…

Honestly, I didn’t realise it was an advert until you told me it was.

The concept exists now. You can "reverse offload" work to the CPU.

> While true, it also produces a topology that makes you want to throw your PC out the window. Can you elaborate?

You are the person that made the initial claim. The burden of proof is on you, not someone else.
