No, quite the opposite. Models are largely a mass of random looking numbers that can’t be compressed losslessly.

Hp is doing laptop rental for non-commercial customers only.

I work in the semiconductor industry, but have little to do with physical aspects.

Ok. I’m not familiar with them. I was just relaying my impression from the start of the article.

Article is about research by IMEC (a chip packaging company) into dealing with the heat problems encountered with stacked dies such as HBM memories with a GPU.

You have to get a third of the way in before they really get to the topic.

Well I don’t think they’re growing. Depending on the sector all the AI data scanning is a concern for a number of companies. I’ve seen a lot of European discussions about getting away from US cloud services too.

If they lose all the money they have pumped into AI, then they will be relying on Windows and Office.

Good for them that both of those are currently doing fine.

It’s a big matrix multiplier that is tailored for machine learning model evaluation (not training). Often they are low precision as that’s all you need for model evaluation (or “inference”).

Think of it as a much less useful GPU because it won’t do graphics.

Is it able to fly in high winds?

This was 2005. It’s not new.

I remember declining a job offer (I had the contract to sign) long ago because one of the people I’d nominated as a reference contacted me and said “I legally can’t answer the questions they’ve asked about you”. Turns out their pro-forma reference questionnaire asked things like “Is this person punctual?”, “what issues has this person had?”. General dirt digging

If anybody were to answer that and the job offer got revoked, I could take that person to court for libel. Companies should know better than to ask anything but factual details in a reference.

So I turned it down stating that if they were so unprofessional around recruitment I wouldn’t trust them to be a good professional employer if I worked for them.

AI code sucks. An AI code review tool told us.

…which isn’t the condition being discussed.

I hear medication is also useful for malaria.

I’m not the only one seeing the 20 or so deals like this in the last few weeks. Right?

Is this because the SEC is shutdown?

This feels we’re going to get a movie like The Big Short in a few years time. “The Big Hallucination” or something.

It has 2 surfaces.

It has 4 or 6 sides it can rest on IMHO. I’d need to play with it to find out.

Trump supporters report …

I expect they’re not self-reporting. That would require self-awareness.

While the drones are armed, they use non-lethal or less-lethal weaponry,

Less lethal? So still lethal.

Why is everyone so keen on making Terminator real?

A better way to say that (more accurate) is that abusers often learnt “how” through personal experience.

The key point is not to look at someone who has been abused and think that they are likely going to become an abuser.
