Riding the marketing hype train, of course.

The pot calling the kettle black…

Next week on HN: Solving Multiple Parallel Wordle with SIMD

Their competitive advantage is not so much running the browser but rather making the browser undetectable.

They boast a large residential proxy network too, which tells you all you need to know.

The other 2% your entire prod deployment gets deleted.

It starts stacking a second circle

If it's only 14M parameters, why not ship it to the client and run on the user's device?

This is not the first time we can see Nvidia taking shortcuts to achieve maximum performance of their GPUs

Why is implementing it correctly not performant? For context I have no idea how rounding is typically implemented anyways.

If he had made less money doing it he probably would have gotten away with it.

It's surely possible but if it's, for example, 10% slower, that easily eats into execution time and that directly translates into a sense of "maybe it's just worth it to pay the license fee for this year" after just a few 20h place and route runs.

Of course, if it were faster, that would be a huge win for the open source implementation.

The difficult part is the place and route algorithm, not the bitstream. The proprietary ones already take quite a long time to solve: I regularly have 12-24h runs. Perhaps an open source one could do better? But it's not quite as straightforward as reverse engineering a proprietary bitstream.

Management wants you to want to have an experience.

Does TinOS come next?

The American work week has been progressively shortening over the years: https://www.gallup.com/workplace/658235/why-americans-workin...

Americans including myself love saying we’re busy though.

Maybe if we destroy the internet faster we’ll move on to the next thing sooner

You can keep my computer's lid open for the low price of $25/mo

There's a joke in China that Trump is the best president that China has ever had.

Same, the Apple silicon chips have been huge.

I bought a 2019 Intel MBP and that was by far the worst laptop I've ever had. After just a year of use it was constantly overheating and running out of memory and disk space, barely able to open a terminal. It was so bad that I hesitated to buy the Apple silicon versions, but the good reviews convinced me and it has been going strong ever since.

Should've posted to moltbook

That makes no sense. If that were really true then they could’ve saved a bundle and did that same thing years ago before AI.

Yes many people do say the same about AWS RDS.

People don’t post about their daily 9-5 on instagram either.

Wild that apps used to be completely local, no accounts, no uploads, and we're back to that as a value prop.

Multiplication at this resolution is already implemented via lookup tables.

Are you writing this from the future? The latest gen nvidia gpus sit at around 2-2.5 GHz and the latest gen amd cpus sit 4-5 GHz.

That matches my personal experience too, writing naive cuda code that doesn’t take advantage of parallelism is roughly half the speed of running it on cpu.

Ahh interesting. I wonder why they (non-Apple) did that?

a block of Rust threads that are properly programmed to take advantage of the vector processing by avoiding divergence

Sure, if you have that then of course it would be fast. But that’s not what this library is proposing.

Is this an Android thing? My US iOS works fine with digital Suica.
