Part of the new order will be setting up on that other platform.

You know, the one like Twitter ;)

The one that’s better than this.

I have the same alias there, come join and say hello.

There is an alternate reality where Cray took their vector supercomputers, ditched FP64 calculations, and went with one FP32 pipe and a BF16 tensor core pipe. The same instruction set, memory architecture, and vector registers would have made a sweet deep learning machine, in many ways nicer than SIMT CUDA programming on GPUs. A Y-MP class machine like that could have delivered the AlexNet and DQN moments two decades earlier.

Even doing everything in FP64 with no architectural changes, a Cray-1 would have been the best machine in the world for neural networks. If @geoffreyhinton had access to one for early research, the case could have been made for the architectural modifications to 10x the performance.

A blade of grass is a commonplace on Earth; it would be a miracle on Mars. Our descendants on Mars will know the value of a patch of green. And if a blade of grass is priceless, what is the value of a human being?

Rabea Rogge, LB9NJ/KD3AID, has conducted the first amateur radio contacts from aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule. Rogge is a private astronaut on the crew of the Fram2 mission and is using a battery-powered Icom IC-705 aboard the flight. She’s transmitting SSTV images on 437.550 MHz for a youth amateur radio competition called Fram2Ham. Rogge will send images from polar regions that have been broken into digital puzzle pieces, which students must assemble

@davepl1968 One basic question, what AI software are you training and is it local or cloud, sounds local hence the threadripper comment. Is it hard to set up and get going?

Admitting they were fooled ('bamboozled') would mean facing the loss, feeling foolish, and acknowledging their poor judgment. It's often easier emotionally to dismiss the evidence and cling to their false beliefs.

Any modern-day examples that fit this?

@ste_mega 68000, amazing for the day

[Louis🇺🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺🇬🇧 @BinaryJunkie]

@AMichaels15 @historyinmemes Ooof, that’s a very bad take. I’d delete it and put it down to lack of knowledge, maybe try again later….

@MacroWorld21 @eevblog It’s witchcraft!

@KR4BSJ Solid! 710 is slightly better at HF but is HF only, the 991a does so much so well :)

@davepl1968 I guess it may learn to count though? :)
