This is bending the knee

Oh, did you just get the memo?

LLMs are largely worthless (in the context of improving human society).

Neural Nets aimed at much more specific domains (recognizing and indicating metastases or other abnormalities in pathology slides for human review, for example) are EXTREMELY useful and worthwhile.

They are still bleeding edge. Samsung is making really impressive strides, but TSMC is simultaneously not resting on their laurels.

Fan-fucking-tastic. Fuck all scalpers with a frozen rusty pole.

Their security guarantees involve “we will melt our chip foundries to slag if the PRC invades”. That’s not a joke. That’s an official element of their strategic defense policy. They are pointedly tying the bleeding edge of semiconductor manufacturing - which corresponds to a very fucking big chunk of the global economy - to their sovereignty and territorial integrity. And it’s frankly an extremely shrewd policy.

And it’s gonna get worse, because it’s a very lucrative industry AND it’s highly effective for propaganda.

They’d deploy the national guard, and you can’t spell slaughter without laughter

MS will be sued over this and they will lose. This is not an ambiguous case. They fucked up. It’s essentially an unconsentual/unilateral alteration to a contract, which kinda violates the principle of, you know, a contract.

Huh, that’s fascinating. I wasn’t aware, but that’s cool to hear, despite how frustrating and depressing the motivation for it may be

Are you for real trying to ivory tower armchair general a person who now fears for their life due to the overt threats of the candidate who just won the fucking presidency? Hold on- let me get you a ladder so you can try to climb down out of your own asshole.

Fascinating documentary that slipped through a wormhole from the future

It’s all going away. There will be no punishment. We’re done here.

To be clear, none of that is a good thing.

Tbh I’m honestly kinda surprised that electoral fuckery wasn’t even needed.

So the smart move here for AMD would have been to bin the chips differently according to their tested stability for power usage, like Intel T SKUs. It’s the same chip, but the “X” versions are running at full power (with bios options to turn it down to be more efficient, or aggressively scale power delivery, or what have you), and “E” versions that just always run at lower voltages and currents.

I agree that cutting TDP nearly in half while STILL pulling out a perf gain is remarkable, but also not something most gamers are going to care much about in the context of a desktop system.

Oh, most definitely.

Gotcha - I thought you meant you had seen some sort of demo/article/whatever with a proof of concept, but I misunderstood.

That sounds neat. Link?

The repeal of fairness doctrine played a huge role in terms of how we got here

Rules for thee, but not for me
