So Intel is inventing new definitions of flops? How about bitcoin flops ?

These days all high performance computing is limited by just one thing: ram bandwidth. And with the tradition to AI on gpu this issue got worse. Apple is the only company that is making integrated gpu/cpu memory that is also high bandwidth. Not like the bad old days where integrated memory just meant cheapo motherboard without dedicated video memory.

Memory is in fact moving into the system chip for even better bandwidth so of course it has to be soldered! That's not even the right terminology.

The real question is do you want additional off chip memory or not? The off chip memory will be slower just as register and global
Memory must be used carefully on gpu to get performance the answer is that yes you could perhaps make use of the off chip slower ram or even slower sodimm ram. But at some point maybe the place to put that is instead on the solid state drive. Integrate the ram as a cache for the ssd. It's already doing that but make it even bigger. Then you can make it persistent as well.

Apple as usual is way ahead in adopting the future before the software exploiting it arrives .

It's amazing these things memorize some text and some image motifs and can read English with semantic prediction, obey even structures for executable code creation, and emit coherent English in topic with so few parameters.
You could not code most of those and even apply the most advanced compression and have the result fit in a dvd. And yet there you are managing it.

This is very hard to explain or imagine. What am I missing???

The screen goes round and round keeping me cool but the text stays level . Brilliant

Aaron Schwartz scraped research pubs and made them available. Even though he might have scraped these in a way the api allowed he still was violating the DMCA. These AI scraping jobs are the same. The idea that they should be forced to destroy every instance they fed this poison fruit too makes perfect sense. It's a shame too. Loss of all that public good. But it's the correct response.

The difference from Aaron Schwartz is that these deep pocket companies do have another option. Pay a very large amount of money to make their crime go away.

The fact that it's a windfall for them by times is birth debatable and of no consequence. It's debatable because these AI are competing with the my times in many ways now and more so in the future. So getting a large payout now is just tapping the lost future value to The NY Times .

I hate to see the ai torn advancing companies torn down thus way but I don't see anything unseemly about this. The NY Times is is not a charity.

There's no analogy to a patent troll here as things of real value were stolen
