Yes.

No.

This’ll be stalled until late January, and then it will go away

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.

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.

Tbh I expect him to try to invade Mexico at some point in the next few years

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.

Ngl probably going to try to leave for good

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.

NI!

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?

FATALITY

JASON STARTHAM WINS

Hey man, I’ve got a hammer, and that process looks a lot like a nail.

And buy back a few billion in stock!

Irrelevant. The heat death of the universe is a constraint unrelated to the premise of the original problem.
