Dismantling difficulty in concurrent programming.

[olivier giroux @__simt__]

@ernire I personally think that people overestimate the market potential of hard-to-program computer systems.

Most computers have to be programmable to most programmers. Most programs have to be programmed by most programmers.

There is a very significant human factor in computing.

Hey @united it would be cool if cabin announcements were live-captioned on the seat display.

@anemll @ekryski @mweinbach @bztree Correct, except the fp32 is fp19

[olivier giroux @__simt__]

@blelbach Welcome aboard, though. :)

@blelbach What!? I was *just* trying to tell you this story and you shut me down!

We brought significant architectural advancements and feature set improvements to A19/M5 GPUs.
Scalable GPU Neural Accelerators
2nd Gen Dynamic Caching Shader Architecture
3rd Gen Ray Tracing
The best GPU Driven Pipeline
New graphics features, rate and perf increases.

Hey, @trebolloc @awnihannun, I wonder if you know of some member of the MLX community who would like to work on neural accelerators directly.

@never_released My kids are forced to use those, and I'm forced to buy it for them, which is really traumatic for me I gotta say.

Look at screen and type all day? -> Here's the cheapest screen and keyboard China can make, kid.

Have an old MBA you could use? -> Nope, not allowed.

M5 Max is a local AI powerhouse in a laptop form factor. So awesome to see this thing released.

Up to 8x faster prefill / image generation compared to M1 Max. Benchmarks done with MLX / mlx-lm.

@never_released Can I ask you to write some words about the really nice things you see becoming unblocked by that?

[olivier giroux @__simt__]

@never_released C++ doesn’t support virtual aliases either; at best it happens to work sometimes. The proxy model is a view on what C++ itself might need to do.

@jimmyjames_tech @jonmasters Thanks for the kind words but all I contributed to this result is some mentorship and a fresh eye. This team had all the good ideas ready to go from the start of this cycle. I almost feel like I observed.

@_karthikramani @jonmasters @jfbastien Not me. I have always favored non-multi-copy-atomic NMCA semantics.

Kinda curious what Bryce is going to say.

Join @blelbach for his talk on the C++ Execution Model. The heart of C++ is a multi-threaded abstract machine & formal model that describe how programs run. Rules govern how code is executed, which impacts your code.

@reeselevine @h_poncedeleon Enjoyed reading through a few links and references from here. Neat stuff. Dartagnan looks pretty cool.
