Comment Re:50 years to optimize 4x4 matrix multiplication? (Score 1) 91

Seriously? It took 50 years and an AI to figure out a faster way to multiply two 4x4 matrices? For matrices that small, how many variations could there possibly be?

According to the article "there are at least 14,000 ways of multiplying four-by-four matrices"

>consoles would require stronger tooling as compared to silicon based moulds

It already takes quite a lot of effort to cut through silicon. What are they making the consoles out of, battleship armor?

It isn't about what the consoles are made of, the issue is the silicon molds wouldn't survive the higher production volume and the new higher end tooling takes longer to procure.

I don't mean to be a knob but I think the fault doesn't particularly lie with the vendor.

I view it differently. The vender advised the work. If I called up Toyota and asked advice about something for my 10 year old truck*, while it might be out of warranty if their advice resulted in major damage I think they should be liable for something.

I'd go along with this if the work was performed by a Toyota authorized shop. If it was done by yourself or by the corner gas station mechanic Toyota has no control over the work being done correctly.
