Doesn't China smelt most of the world's aluminum due to inexpensive energy?

I thought that was their thing

Do you think the vocabulary is load bearing, or do you need to caveat it's genuinely the lack of real ideas that's the problem?

Oh I thought you were just one of them but stealth mode. That makes sense given the graph thing, thanks. Needed some caffeine and a nap.

Bait title for bait point.

----------------- If weights aren't the same as the data even though they produce the data, how are weights that produce similar outputs different?

The "legal view" smuggles the cintested distinction for distillation by saying it's substantially the same product.

Not trying to take it literally, but aren't there costs vs performance tradeoffs? Like the py.toHDL would have like (maxSize,maxCost,minThroughput) as free and that would determine energy usage?

And a GPU is already pretty optimized for inference, no? Like isn't it a bunch of FP mults? I don't think HDLs do well with that, either.

Doesn't that assume that VHDL is trivial? I feel like there are tons of performance tradeoffs or hardware designers wouldn't have jobs

I get a lot of this in design docs every time I give it a negative constraint:

[Suboptimal choice]

And here's why it's not suboptimal -- you said X sucks and notto do X, but this choice is not technically X, it's just really similar and shares that sucky property.

It's prideful too since just undoing it would be an actual admission of failure. This is a hollow apology and compromise

isn't throwing that into a [insert financial vehicle that gives 99.99999% safe returns] going to destroy that when you factor in electricity costs?

Or even just electricity costs vs token cost
