this is very common. lots of companies around (e.g. cadence) that sell SIPs as synthesizable RTL for easy integration into chip designs (and lots of hardware companies buy these SI…

1024 fp16 macs is pretty good but the 128b vector datapath is weak sauce. on the other hand 2MB SRAM is legit. i wonder how many tiles (i don't think it's in the post).

Tell that to PhD advisor that took credit for all my work because they were his ideas (at least so he claimed).

you see this kind of wishful (delusional?) thinking very frequently on hn: > Microsoft won't ever be able ... their business model is ... have had enough. statements made with comp…

With all do respect, I think you're telling a half-truth here. Your LinkedIn profile shows you had two MS degrees before starting your PhD. Undoubtedly you got some of the requirem…

hey look someone that actually knows what they're talking about!

i haven't a clue what that means but when julia's autodiff is the only one that is implemented using dual numbers i think the claim is pretty obviously false and seemingly everyone…

it's amazing to me that pointing out a straight up mathematically factual inaccuracy is considered "angry" and "acting a fool".
