Chips and Cheese GPU analysis are pretty detailed, but they need to be taken with a huge grain of salt because the results only really apply to OpenCL and nobody buying NVIDIA or A…

Asynchronous clean-up is a solved problem in C++ senders & receivers. I wonder what's so different about rust that they can't solve it in the same way.

> My biggest concern with Rust is the sloppiness around the distinction between a "compiler bug" and a "hole in the type system." That bug is marked as I-unsound, which means that …

LUMI as an "AI customer" has a: - low-budget: tax payer supercomputer for tax payer phd students - high-risk tolerance: tolerate AI cluster arriving 5 years late (Intel and Aurora)…

> OpenCL based machine learning libraries, no? Have you used OpenCL and CUDA C++ ? CUDA C++ is single-source easy to use, has good tools, has a lots of libraries you can build your…

Indeed, wow.

Which is (EDIT: NOT) the most widely sold console ever.

I just use inotifywait for that. What does entr do differently? This will run a binary when any file on the directory tree changes: #!/usr/bin/env sh set -e while true; do inotifyw…

> Is this a serious comment? Alwrapper doesn't use emulation. An API wrapper simply translates calls to the appropriate API. B QEMU simply translates calls from one hardware API to…

Since you can't really buy apple cpus or gpus and put them in a PC, for benchmarking... today at least one can't compare apple's hardware against intel hardware. What one can compa…

Buy professional appliances, for restaurants. For some reason, they are often better along many axes: cheaper, easier to clean, more customizable, more powerful, more flexible, etc…

> Isn't there a single GPU benchmark that actually does the same work so that comparisons can actually be made? Apple does not support OpenGL or Vulkan, only Metal, and most app de…

If you can re-compile all your source code, then ABI stability is not that important. In the real world, - people use operating systems to get work done, - such work is often done …

+1. Asking the right questions.

What went wrong is that people learned how much NVIDIA pays, figured out they were significantly underpayed, Arm is not a very profitable business so couldn't compete, and the mome…

Their goal - and only option - is to sell the company for as much $$$ as possible, and this strategy helps them towards their goal. This is the simplest and most effective way to m…

To many on the internet which was financed by DARPA? The irony is strong on this thread.

And Mac Studio probably. Still, closing your online store for days during the weeks around releases seems dumb. Someone might want to buy an Apple watch or something :laugh: Imagin…

You can save the annotated slides after the lecture, and just share them?

When the M1 was released... a year ago... You could buy a 900$ laptop with a better CPU than any laptop out there. 20 hours battery life (almost 3x any other laptop out there). Sil…

Do you have a reference?

If by software throttling hardware you mean LHR. Then as other have mentioned there are two options for GPU vendors: * Hardware unblocked: GPU can be used for mining, scarcity beco…
