Each minute that a GPU isn't running is money evaporating

Wow, if only the Chinese knew that! So easy!

Matrix multiplication is one of the few operations that isn't regularly limited by memory bandwidth. BLAS implementations come with several heavily optimized, architecture-specific versions of sgemm.

Isn't the delta fed to an arithmetic coder?

Not as many as the ones that the US snatched in operation paperclip

I'd bet on the inverse: China scaling DRAM production until the price crashes, and the whole US stock market that is propped on top of that scarcity going down with it.

Prefill (GEMM) is compute bound, decode (GEMV) is memory bound.

EPYC 9965: 614GBps of 12-channel DDR5-6400

A100: 1935GBps of HBM2e

Most of those FLOPS are constrained by memory bandwidth.

Copy Fail was found using AI and made our last week miserable (thanks RedHat). Anyone with access to a SOTA model can point it at any package in your stack and go fish. You're underreacting.

> GabeN also had the wrong take in that it's a "supply problem" or whatever nonsense he said.

It is a supply problem. Steam regional pricing and game passes have demolished piracy in countries where people wouldn't have dreamed of paying for a game 15 years ago. And so did Netflix for a while with video, but then everyone had to jump on the bandwagon and now piracy is flourishing again.

If the image contains information required to bring up the device, why isn't that data shipped in firmware?

Right?

That's a genius idea, keep adding broken stuff into the standard until there's no choice but to break compatibility to fix it.

Imagine considering some bird poop staining the paint dangerous instead of the air pollution that's slowly killing you.
