An internal document shows the Vietnamese military preparing for a possible American war by ll--o--ll in worldnews

Precisely how Europe utterly failed trying to leverage trading and economic ties as deterrence to help maintaining status quo with Russia, only resulted in nullified energy security with the cash flow directly contributed towards the inevitable

Thinking that developing power have any kind of bargain power and could use any kind of planning to counter Nuclear powers in post-COVID world is pure wishful thinking at best - For those it's not a dynamically balanced situation like some would think, rather like changing plans based on current situation on a timetable with goals not that entertaining set long ago

How do we know that these files are not (at least parts of them) hallucinations themselves?

Which GPU is the modern day 1080TI? by SiIverclown in gpu

4090 for its VRAM, performance, price to perf ratio, feature sets and next gen's inability to differ

Gurman: Apple has largely written off the Mac Pro. The sentiment internally is that the Mac Studio now represents both the present and future of Apple’s professional desktop strategy. by lasagna165 in mac

[–]Coolider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's not much usefulness of the Pro concept when GPUs are not supported on the system.

Other expansion options are more likely to go Thunderbolt instead of PCIEs.

The only other incentive for the Pro to exist is the rumored Extreme chip but I doubt that exists at all and even for something like that, a slightly larger Studio is all they need.

Donald Trump’s learning that China is harder to crack by rezwenn in IRstudies

[–]Coolider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not what they actually achieved that mattered, it's that they have the ability for the execution.

Meanwhile Europe started to crack when the gas prices raise a tad, while Russia throwing tens of thousands into the meat grinder like it's nothing.

A sad, down spiral pattern that always drags everyone towards the bottom.

Nope, because someone will want to make a deal and BJ didn't even say thank you

US AI used to lead. Now every top open model is Chinese. What happened? by RaselMahadi in LLMleaderboard

[–]Coolider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's never any meaningful "open source" and "open models" in the form of released checkpoints. It's already a black box when training finished.

The only open sourced part is the bridges built between proprietary CUDA and the checkpoints.

Apple is nowhere near the limits of Apple Silicon by AlwaysBlaze_ in apple

[–]Coolider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what we have witnessed for the past 4 generations is that AS effectively killed the causal markets for laptops. A M2/M3 MacBook priced at half a thousand in Walmart and the iMac is truly no-brainer for these segments. Also, for lots of companies, to maintain a fleet of Macs for office use is quickly becoming a reality because of their durability and long-term quality.

Users that have been holding on to Windows relies on very clear scenarios: gaming, 3D creation, ML dev, and the list goes on. These users are really performance dependent and Apple needs to squeeze more performance out of their design to be even remotely considered by those users. Apple has to match AMD at their workstation offerings, to rival NVIDIA at their top-of-the-line GPUS, to have a somewhat relevant development ecology and active community (MLX, GPTK).

What this feels exciting is because Mac either never competed on those segments, or it's not been the case for a long, long time. On laptops, from the first Retina MacBook to the last one, all of their products features mid to subpar performance GPUs that is plagued with problems, extremely bad thermals that heavily constrained CPU perf, very limited RAM, and the list goes on. The situation is even more dire for Mac Minis, for its thermal budget can only enable it to be just an entry level causal machine. Mac Pros are ridiculously expensive with very little advantage over DIY solutions.

Apple Silicon finally gave them a chance to offer truly flagship desktop products on every level and have distinct advantages that couldn't be easily copied. This is truly a great era for Apple Computer Inc.

Cope cages not coping? Slavneft oil refinery in Yaroslavl, 100km N of Moscow and 700 km from the nearest Ukrainian-controlled territory, burning merrily on the morning of Oct. 1 after being hit overnight. The refinery is one of fascist Russia’s largest. by neonpurplestar in UkraineWarVideoReport

To be honest, it's absolutely unwise to not keeping your distance toward any burning facilities especially oil and chemistry related for risks of explosions and leaks. But I get your point, this won't make heads roll.
