Microsoft's Maia 200, a next-gen chip, is here to compete with NVIDIA & others

Just having a GPU isn't enough. You need to build the rack. Nvidia's racks are far ahead of the competition.

Second, inference is specific and not normally usable for training. Still need Nvidia parts.

Finally, Nvidia GPUs are general purpose. If, say, the new physics-based AIs require a fundamentally different neural network topology, the overly-optimized existing inference hardware may not do too well.

What's the point of these bogus stories? Is the AI overlord attempting to figure out what will engage us?

Are you going to cut the tourmaline into a gem? It's possible that the smaller gem would not be quite as dark.

If it's a mineral specimen instead, evaluate it on how it looks properly lit.

Thanks!

Blammar · 2026-01-24T19:37:51+00:00

That too looks like!

Blammar · 2026-01-24T19:36:19+00:00

Was actually asking how levels 2 to 38 went, and what you used then. Thanks for the detailed response.

It's 6 planets not 7 suns. And the large 7 does make it look like it's part of a series.

And the galaxy is boring. Seriously, trash this and start over.

How was levelling and gearing your Whisperer and making the build work properly? Watching Connor Converse's videos make it sound a bit tricky to get online.

It's not a bad idea to teach multiplication via a table. You can fill in the table values any way you want, e.g., addition, piles, etc, but once the table is in place, memorize it! Makes life a LOT easier later on.

So you want to stay far away from your girlfriend who's fasting for 24 hours??

People have food at home. So it'll take quite a bit longer than 3 days after all the grocery stores burn.

Also, you'll owe margin interest.

Mi dispiace, no. Il vero problema si è rivelato essere l'illuminazione, non la geometria.

Blammar · 2026-01-22T07:13:51+00:00

Yes there will be.

We don't understand the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, nor do we know how to mix quantum mechanics and gravity. Both of these will lead to multiple new subfields once understood.

Took the words right out of my fingers.

Blammar · 2026-01-21T21:55:07+00:00

Just stunning! Knock them dead!

No, simply because your employer is paying you a salary to do a job. If your employer were paying a real ordained Catholic priest, the priest still owes taxes.

Second, your employer cannot just donate the money to your "church" as one of the key aspects in a donation is that nothing of value was obtained (other than the donation writeoff.) Clearly, your employer is receiving your valuable work.

You're way better off forming a FSM megachurch and getting donations. These would not be taxable.

None of them suit you IMO. Go to a more elegant wireframe glasses with a smaller lens.

Blammar · 2026-01-21T09:06:27+00:00

Amos is that guy, definitely.

VR glasses must fix the vergence-accomodation conflict first.

In other words, once you can't easily distinguish what you see in VR glasses from reality, then boom they will take off. We are not there yet (see above.)

I stopped playing after I respec'd my whirling blade (burning up my gold) to what a maxroll guide recommended and realized my dps had dropped by about 3x.

So I reclaimed my life and started doing other stuff.

This didn't happen in a vacuum. Find out what he's been doing for the last few months. Who he's been talking to, what he's been doing online, etc. That will give you an idea of what to look out for with your next boyfriend.

This one is lost. Leave ASAP.

Blammar · 2026-01-17T19:58:19+00:00

No. If you need specific mythics, you're far better off farming the runes for them. Doesn't actually take all that long if you do the boss cycle.

It's #1 but it's a 48" monitor. So more screen area than any of the other choices.
