As far as I know, there isn’t an interface like nvlink that allows these macs to work in tandem; they would just send their data over ethernet, maybe thunderbolt/usb-c?

Using OpenVINO and a supported model can get you surprisingly far...

Just a crazy catch 22, it seems

From what I gather, the Chinese are behind, but a lot of their research amounts to scrappy, clever discoveries in how to use more novel technologies (for Qwen and Deepseek, its mixture of expert models, that can do inference using a portion of the model at a time). The chinese also distill information from American models, so there’s that.

The American companies, from my impression don’t involve themselves with such lowly “hacks” because they have so much money to just push forward with doing everything on big heavy models that run on the most cutting edge nvidia chips that they can, the moment, kinda sorta get on demand (I say that in some degree of jest).

I’m think its in our best interests to lever these american ai companies to exhibit at least some degree of freedom and transparency anyway we can…

Google at least still releases open source models to the public.

When people in NYC are driven out of their neighborhoods because of gentrification, they generally move down south. There isn’t some magical part of town that they can afford with their “current budget”

Any program created by the US government can be captured and handicapped, like has been done to the USPS.

Also, the Postmaster General was on Capitol Hill today saying how this time next year the service won’t be able to afford delivering to all addresses in the US.

I thought i saw there was similar functionality as dex available on usb c ported iphones (and ipads)?

You can hook up a mouse and keyboard, maybe even a monitor? I thought I saw it in passing… I still have a lightning iPhone

Sure, it can flow down to regular people now, because regular people don’t have access to 10s of millions of dollars to train a trillion parameter llm…

Local ai is cool and all but the models that run on typical consumer hardware doesn’t really compare to the breadth of information available by the likes of chatGPT, lets be real.

Customers comparable to openai are trending towards designing and/or using their own silicon, though.

In a lot of cases they don’t have to worry about caked on burnt oil lining critical passages of their engines, either.

Will this run on cards that don’t have ROCM/latest ROCM support? Because if not, its only gonna be a tiny subset of a tiny subset of cards that this will allow cuda to run on.

Good thing there are microcenters on every corner.

If thats not your thing, Walmarts, or Stop and Shops, you know for people who don’t want to spend their whole pay check on a single meal worth of food (we exist)

A lot more people cone out of accidents in modern Accords without a scratch than their 1989 counterparts.

I think the battery on my SE2 gave up the ghost… or the charging port, because the battery wouldnt charge all the time by the end.

Next time, if you try changing your phone’s battery, you should watch a few youtube videos showing how to take it apart, too.

And the US is at a high level of strength, not weakness. Its large corporations hold sway over the globe in a manner the likes of which has never been seen before in modern history. Its military has force projection to nearly every point on the globe, with hundreds of global military bases. Its national wealth is at an all-time high. Its stock markets are at all-time highs. Its median income is at an all-time high. Its median dispoable income is at an all-time high. Its housing wealth is at an all-time high

This is in part because other countries allow American countries to come in and take over markets.

The negative ramifications seem to be better than being invaded by the US or having regional entities invaded by the US, and the ensuing instability as a result.

If its going to be like this the rest of the world might as well cut its losses

You mean the company that is going to spend 100+ billion to buy a legacy hollywood studio, Warner Brothers (sadly)?

Why yes, those evil wallstreet adjacent millionaire landlords who may rent out their basement to keep the lights on, are evil lizard people.

Things like TV that took entertainment from a group activity to a single person event.

TV was the visual replacement of radios, and both used to bring families together for tv events… I remember lots of instances of that as a child.

It also brought people together at work. Everyone used to watch nearly the same things, and even up to 15 years ago, there’d at least be groups you could find in your office who was watching the same things you did, and could engage in water cooler talk.

Now theres so many shows on streaming networks, and you can watch whenever, so its all fractured.

The only complete package integrator that manages to make a relationship work with Nvidia is Nintendo.

And thats probably because Nintendo isn’t adding any pressure to neither TSMC nor Nvidia capacity wise; iirc Nintendo uses something like Maxwell or Pascal on really mature processes for Switch chips/socs.

I would imagine they could split their orders between different fabricators; they can put in orders for the most cutting edge chips for the latest Macs and iPhones at TSMC and go elsewhere for less cutting edge chips?

You can use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for a whole range of cleaning applications, as well as clearing a stopped up toilet.

1000 dollars for a vacation?

It was based on a true story, but whatever I guess

Well, The Wire shows how Baltimore’s police department attempted to underreport crimes as well.

How effective would Gelsinger be at returning after the then previous CEO took the company in a totally different path and practically trashed Gelsinger’s original plan?
