yeah and that means everyone will run them in parallel, or think they can build them themselves for custom purposes. They probably can't, because their idea is fundamentally unworkable magic... but they can still spend the money trying.

There's currently a 1 year lead on H200s, incidentally.

I fully expect to see a contract negotiation occur between Michael Bay's lawyers and Amazon's lawyers over how many rising rotating character profile shots there will be, how the physics of reflections work for the purposes of dramatic photography and the minimum allowed size of explosions.

I'm not saying they're lying but...

They might be leaving out that the 7 years of real time player data was actually collected over 4 realtime years, and this game has an average player count of zero to two... with a release peak of almost 1.5k.

I suspect they don't have the variation in the dataset they're suggesting they do.

Not in research context where there's siloed lexicons all over the place it doesn't.

Semantic tokens are not sufficient to understand research, just as they wouldn't be if you got an uneducated human to do the work... every field (and in many cases, every lab) tends to use terms differently. Sometimes those differences can be subtle in ways that matter, and other times they can be completely overt in ways that matter.

We are not talking about the level of detail someone demands from an encyclopedia in order to sake their limited curiosity or win a verbal debate.

For scientsts to use a statistical tool, they need to understand the implications of its use... and not just at a level that a salesperson wants to provide them.

They'd avoid paying me if they could. They've "forgotten" to do it in the past.

That said, most science is actually done on an inadequate budget, and the idea that folks have that big science is wealthy is not grounded in reality... and that's actually compounded by the fact that big name researchers really do attract the majority of the funding.

It's going to be somewhat bad when people who have built imaging pipelines for medical research realise that they can no longer use their sm32 coded binaries.

That's already happened, mind... kepler sm target is no longer supported by H series cards. They just don't know that it affects them yet, and we can still work around it by putting their workflows on older cards. That wont be possible, sooner or later.

IMPHO... It's entitled people who already had a platform discovering that amplifying themselves no longer drowns out the voices of the poor.

Me, I call it a gutenberg cycle. The point at which, in society, the barrier to remote communication and the time required for it are lowered enough that the average person has a personal capability comparable to what a wealthy person has by default.

It took ~200 years for the Catholic Church to realise that it was no longer in control of peoples' beliefs, that they didn't have the ability to dictate how the average person saw the world in the face of them being able to reassert their experiences to each other. I wonder how long it will take the authoritarians now.
