All American oligarchs are involved in large scale fraud, corruption and organized crime activity. Not to mention many of them are involved in enabling mass scale killings/deaths.

We need judicial and criminal justice reform (Americans specifically, but this is a broader issue) that would allow for independent judicial proceedings, meaningful incentives to avoid a life of crime and real world rehabilitation.

Incentives should include any scheme with more than X10 annual median salaries would requireing full asset seizure (everything, every last cent) a mandatory 20 years live-in community service in positions such as junior janitor at an infectious disease hospital, junior de-mining specialist, junior assistant at a waste site renewal project.

IT access outside of work channels would be restricted. One wouldn’t be allowed outside of the location of their community service program outside of perhaps grocery and a trip to the library.

No one should be forced to do this. If they don’t like the terms, they are free to do 40 years in prison instead.

To make sure that there are no “schemes” to avoid asset seizure, all family members, business partners or comparable persons of interest would be required to sign affadavits stating that they understand that if it is ever found that they aided in helping/not reporting such schemes, they will have all their assets seized, be required to do 20 years community service (or 40 years in prison) and all their family member and business would be required to sign similar affidavits.

This is only for large scale fraud and corruption. Crimes around enabling mass killings/deaths (e.g. Zuckerberg and other FB executives enabling genocide of Rohingya people) would be best dealt with a public execution via guillotine.

That’s fair, but they were hyping 18A pretty bad. And we’ve already had several new nodes being hyped and then forgotten.

Where is all the competition and free markets?

Oh man, so know they are focusing on 14A.

I think a lot of it is also semiconductor factories from non-chinese companies.

I am the same age as you and I feel you.

But then again, I guess it’s up to us to make a contribution to a better world (like the one from our childhood imagintations).

Nothing comes easy.

I remember the 90s early 2000s when it felt like we were sort of all going in the right direction and technology would help build a better future.

But then again, history always goes in cycles and it would be reasonable to expect information technology to (initially?) lead to really bad outcomes, just like with industrialization and WW1/WW2.

It took the horrors of the two world wars for people to get out of their stupor.

I hope you are right, but I prefer to take a more cautious worldview.

I wouldn’t be so optimistic, while we are not seeing a real return on the massive capital and operational investments into ML services, it still has enormous mind share, especially among executive types and hustler/scammer types.

They are likely going to keep trying. All the hyperscalers and ML companies hate giving Nvidia so much money.

It depends on the use case though. Not all workloads benefit from lots of slow cores. And both Intel and AMD have comparable solutions (Intel’s E-core only server CPUs and AMD’s Zen 5C Epic server CPUs).

I could have been more clear, but it wasn’t my intention to imply that this particular case is the turning point.

I am surprised they didn’t move the automotive BU into MobileEye.

I am not a lawyer. I am talking about reality.

What does an LLM application (or training processes associated with an LLM application) have to do with the concept of learning? Where is the learning happening? Who is doing the learning?

Who is stopping the individuals at the LLM company from learning or analysing a given book?

From my experience living in the US, this is pretty standard American-style corruption. Lots of pomp and bombast and roleplay of sorts, but the outcome is no different from any other country that is in deep need of judicial and anti-corruotion reform.

Consumers in Beijing and Shanghai are now entitled to discounts of up to 2,000 yuan (US$278) on select models of Apple devices – including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and MacBook – when they buy directly from the US company, according to a statement published on Tuesday on Apple’s mainland Chinese website.

That’s a crazy government subsidy. There must be some grey-market trade going on with get the devices to buyer outside of Beijing and Shanghai.

I will admit this is not a simple case. That being said, if you’ve lived in the US (and are aware of local mores), but you’re not American. you will have a different perspective on the US judicial system.

How is right to learn even relevant here? An LLM by definition cannot learn.

Where did I say analyzing a text should be restricted?

The x50 and x60 series are trash if you look real world prices (it’s worse where I live, but to my understanding it’s a global issue).

If you have a mid-2010s era CPU (and your finances are flexible), it’s probably a good idea to get a new CPU as well.

And this is how you know that the American legal system should not be trusted.

Mind you I am not saying this an easy case, it’s not. But the framing that piracy is wrong but ML training for profit is not wrong is clearly based on oligarch interests and demands.

I am aware of the 5060, it’s a more morbid curiosity if you will.

Curious to see real world benchmarks for the 5050 and 5050 mobile.
