They’re not using Nvidia hardware, they developed their own Ascend chips and they figured out a way to connect them which drops latency meaning that even though individual chips are slower, the cluster as a whole is competitive with Nvidia.

That wouldn’t work because of the curse of knowledge of what modern life feels like which is impossible to set aside. Since you are aware of hot showers, soft beds, painkillers, and the safety of a locked door, every moment in the forest would be measured against that. But it would be a completely different story if you had grown up in that environment and living off the land was all you had ever known. It would simply be life with no other standard to measure it against. Our minds are ultimately a product of our material conditions, they don’t just exist in a vacuum, we are actively shaped by our environment.


I mean it’s probably the most secure way to send data between two devices.


Right, when people are forced to work that’s a problem, but people having an option to do so is a positive.


yeah seems like it might not be out yet


Most people actually want to be productive. If you’ve ever been sick and unable to do anything for a prolonged period of time, you’d know how excruciating it is. There’s a big difference between being productive and being exploited.


do elaborate


what is up with that garbage comment?


Yeah makes sense, I really love how solar tends to be complimentary with environmental preservation. As the world gets hotter, creating more shaded areas will be useful.


haha Chinese engineers also figured out that putting solar panels over the high way instead of having them being destroyed by traffic works a lot better :) https://www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/solar-panel-roofs-on-highways-could-slash-global-carbon-emissions/49928/


I mean that’s exactly what it is, there’s even a term for it now: scaremarketing.


Honestly, I think the most reasonable approach is just to see what other people’s experience is like and which models are well regarded, then try them out and see which one is the best fit for what you’re doing. You might not even need the top performing one necessarily, and speed or lower resource usage might be a bigger factor.


lol might have to smuggle it directly from China 🤣


Sure, a benchmark doesn’t capture all the subtleties and different use cases, but it does give a general idea of the capabilities of a model. Obviously, you have to run the model and see if it does what you need. But the chart isn’t really about the nuance, it’s showing how drastically the efficiency of the models has improved in just a year. The fact that we can even reasonably compare a model you can run on a desktop to one that needed a data center just a year ago is phenomenal.


ah gotcha, and I’ve made the list myself apparently
Yeah, I don’t think there’s any doubt tht Linux traffic is going up, just might not be as high as it initially looks.
