I would suspect the physiological base of burnout is the depletion of mainly B vitamins in the brain. When you look at the Krebs cycle, the main energetic reaction in every cell, B…

Didn't Chinese scientists recently show a crazy success rate (~90%) of treating advanced Alzheimer/dementia by performing a microsurgery of the neck, allowing brain to dispose accu…

Nvidia just did what Intel/AMD should have done to threaten CUDA ecosystem - release a "cheap" 128GB local inference appliance/GPU. Well done Nvidia, and it looks bleak for any AI …

Bad idea for social marketing - by the time a post becomes popular, it disappears.

Get admitted to online UIUC iMBA or BU OMBA, take the marketing/sales/entrepreneurship courses, quit.

That's a pity! CGTalk was the site where I first learned about Cg from Nvidia that later morphed into CUDA so unbeknownst to them, CGTalk was at the forefront of the AI by populari…

Would that mean that we would need to exchange latent "embeddings" between various "reasoning" models for emulating thinking and an LLM will be just about converting to/from human …

I am really glad we are finding new pieces of the puzzle of how our gut works and perhaps can someday understand their effect on immunity, neuro-degeneration, cancer etc. for which…

I said in some areas of Barcelona which is true. Now somebody did the Simpson's paradox using the whole data set instead of conditional data, leading to a different result.

So you cherry pick one real-world observation, try to refute it and it makes the rest wonderland? EU is doing super great because you just scentifically proved that Barcelona can't…

No, but EU with all its social agenda is now imploding at unusual places that were once considered great places to live, inflation is doing its thing. In the US tech is considered …

Why would anyone outside some desperate eastern European countries want to join? EU is going down hard, since 2008 no meaningful GDP growth, flat salaries, no tech companies propel…

The top-end RDNA4 GPU will have 16GB RAM. That's a massive regression compared to 7900XTX and performance-wise it should be at best at the 7900XTX level. We are discussing AMD card…

AMD decided not to release a high-end GPU this cycle so any investment into 7x00 or 6x00 is going to be wasted as Nvidia 5x00 is likely going to destroy any ROI from the older card…

Best way is to use ChatGPT + Whisper + ElevenLabs and a prompt where you tell the LLM to answer in German but to tell you what mistakes you made and what you should have said inste…

Tor browser asks you if you want to allow fingerprinting or not when a site attempts to query your HW info. Not sure why other browsers can't do the same.

Quantized sure but there is some loss of variability of the output one can notice quickly with 30B models. If you want to use the fp16 version you are out of luck.

Comment #42315924
Problem with MI300x is the price. Problem with 7900XTX is that it's at best as good as Nvidia with the same RAM for a similar price. If 7900XTX had e.g. 64GB of RAM, was 2x slower …

View it as Raspberry Pi for AI workloads. Initial stage is for enthusiasts that would develop the infra, figure out what is possible and spread the word. Then the next phase will b…

AMD GPUs aren't very attractive to ML folks because they don't outshine Nvidia in any single aspect. Blasting lots of RAM onto a GPU would make it attractive immediately with lots …
