The arguments in this blogpost are fundamentally flawed. The fact that they opened a bug based on them but got shut down should have raised all red flags. When compiling and runnin…

From the POV of an HPC cluster user, when using SLURM's `srun` or similar to schedule a job, this now allows you to use `srun --container= `, and it will start each node where you …

In which category is Intel not being outperformed by competitors?

> can you compile for ARM and move the binary around as easily as you can for x86? Yes.

And then every time you change a view option at run-time, your `.htoprc` gets modified.....

The article touches on this, since its an important realization. In C, however, if the integers are not unsigned, the add/sub version exhibits UB on overflow, because C unnecessari…

Memory became less of an issue for me with V100, and isn't really an issue with A100, at least when quickly iterating for newer models, when the sizes are still relatively small.

The main killer feature for me in the M1 is that it only supports 1 external display, and that the webcam isn't great. I hope they fix those.

> The challenge is selecting the tests that best represent the typical ML/DL use cases for the M1 and comparing it to an alternative such as the V100 using a common toolchain like …

If that's the case that would be very good. One can buy lots of M1 mac minis for the price of a V100..

Depends on model size, but if the model is small enough that I actually do training on a PCIe board, I do. I partition an A100 in 8, and train 8 models at a time, or just use MPS o…

If this happens I might replace my macbook air mid 2012. Magsafe, no touchbar, hopefully 14'' with 32GB of RAM and M1X. Also, I hope a decent webcam, and ability to support at leas…

Even in reinforcement learning you can train multiple model with different data-sets concurrently and combine them for the next iteration.

> Just look at the result Google gets with BERT on V100s vs the result NVIDIA gets with V100s. These benchmarks measure the combination of hardware+software to solve a problem. Goo…

When developing ML models, you rarely train "just one". The article mentions that they explored a not-so-large hyper-parameter space (i.e. they trained multiple models with differe…

IIUC the goal of the Alabama factory is to work around the existing tarifs on shipping planes to the US. Instead of shipping the planes, Airbus ships the parts, and assembles them …

The EU is not a country nor a federation. Companies that want to operate in EU countries need to abide by each countries laws. The EU just provide a minimum set of laws that must b…

That's because the company started dying longer ago. Their stock price today is around 30$. In the early 2000s it was around 90$. Also, like the other comment mentioned, HD has bee…

Agreed. The EU tariffs just accelerated HD's decline, but HD dig their own grave long time ago. HD decision of focusing their brand on a "hardcore biker" culture that has failed (a…

I recall that when Trump started taxing European steel, the EU looked for companies in Republican states that were seen positively by Trump supporters and sniped them with extremel…

Where do you live ? You are making very bold claims about solar being unreliable, but I'd completely expect reliability of solar to vary significant from one location to another.
