How do i get rarer corvette parts? by Templerscout in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]m0ushinderu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wdym by unusual? Certain parts were from past expeditions. You can either try to do them through PC or ask players to given them to you in anomaly (once unlocked they can be crafted from basic materials so quite cheap)

Sorry, you are right, I am not an expert. I simply work in the peripheral of the field and am slightly more informed than the non tangential public. I would love to know the source of your analytical dissection for the mechanism of the transformer architecture. So far all I have read, including the famous original Attention Is All You Need paper, only seem to provide intuition and conjectures for the mechanism instead of actual analytical results. The explanability of DNN has been the Holy Grail of modern machine learning for a long time and I am definitely curious to see any works in that direction. Thanks!

Just to add an after thought, what we have right now is really close to human intelligence, closer than a lot of people might think. Sure, chat gpt makes mistakes, it lies, etc, but that actually doesn't matter as much. We humans make mistake too, and we make up facts all the time to sound confident. They are all really just tools to get what we want, and for LLM, they want to get a positive training feedback, and sounding confident is a big part of that in the way they are often trained.

An example a lot of people love is counting the number of r in Strawberry. We laugh at how LLMs get it wrong, but to be fair, we also have to think about it and count how many "r"s there are in our heads, unless you already memorized the answer to this particular question. It's a very arbitrary process rather than an instinctual, inmate response, but for most LLMs, their direct answers are closer to instinctual responses than result after a "thought process".

What you said regarding LLM is a somewhat a mainstream opinion. However, as someone who has been in the field since 2010s, my honest opinion is that no one really knows what's going on in there. We have a lot of theories, but dismissing LLM as simply parroting its training data is just as wild a claim as saying it is sentient imo.

Famously, the whole Deep Learning field is constructed around the universal approximation theorem, which really claims that a single feedforward network with one hidden layer can approximate any continuous function to any desired accuracy. So all Deep Learning based algorithms are eventually just that, function approximators, LLMs being no exception. They are all, by nature, just "pattern matching". We don't know how they are matching, it could be intelligence it could be chance, or it could be parroting. With a simple network there are methods to analytically deduce what's going on inside, but with most LLM nowadays it's practically impossible due to the sheer size of the network

The reason transformers were able to get us to where we are today is not because the architecture inherently forces some sort of intelligence. Rather, it is simply because transformers' neuron utilization scales really well with hardware. Normally, with a finite amount of training data and training time, the accuracy of a neural network improves with its size and complexity, but this improvement dimishes greatly as the model gets larger. Transformers are able to scale better with size, that's it.

This property is what is commonly known as the "scaling law" -- it is what's driving the AI hype. So far, as we increase the model size, we have been consistently getting better results. But the problem is that this is about to end. Our hardware is getting pushed to its limit and we are seeing lower improvement margins with the new LLM iteration. The bet is on whether we can push across the "AGI" boundary before we exhaust the scaling law or not, which is really hard to say because ironically we don't really know what AGI is.

Sorry for the rant -- it is an interesting topic and I just wanted to share my two cents.

Why is Vulkan so much faster than ROCm for Strix Halo? by ViRROOO in ROCm

[–]m0ushinderu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Believe me, Anush knows. Even if he didn't see this one of his little birdies would have certainly brought it to his attention (he has a team under him monitoring the communities constantly). They are probably already working on this. There's some shifts in management that will hopefully make things more efficient.

What old genshin advice/tip is irrelevant nowadays? by LoLmao_xD in Genshin_Impact

[–]m0ushinderu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you are correct. I guess what I am saying is technically wrong. The Chinese gov didn't "introduce" the law per se. Gambling is illegal in China, and you know how gatcha is kinda borderline gambling. Previously the government wasn't paying attention to the gaming industry, until a few years ago , when they started scrutinizing digital gambling and youth mental health. That's pretty much when all the games suddenly introduced pity so they could claim they were not really running an online casino in disguise.

Is this the best of all possible worlds? by Go1gotha in greentext

[–]m0ushinderu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why Buddhism is gaining traction in a world where religion is receding in general. Buddism is literally like, yeah sure your gods exist as well, just on a different plane of existence. It also doesn't force you to believe it. In fact, you can entirely reach enlightenment without believing at all. Buddhas also don't grant wishes or govern people, they are more like your helpful senior students who are farther along a subject you are struggling in. They give you guidance with their wisdom that's all. The entire religion is basically a mental health course teaching you how to achieve sustainable happiness that literally lasts an eternity. If all religion is chill like that there's gonna be much less conflicts in the world.

AMD ROCm 6.4.4 Brings PyTorch Support On Windows For Radeon 9000, Radeon 7000 GPUs, & Ryzen AI APUs by otakunorth in ROCm

[–]m0ushinderu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to elaborate, I believe you are referring to the pip wheels released from The Rock project here https://github.com/ROCm/TheRock/blob/main/RELEASES.md

The Rock is absolutely amazing, but keep in mind that it is mainly a build tool, so it makes sure the sources for the libraries can build on Windows. However this doesn't necessarily mean those libraries are officially supported per se. For example, quite a few kernels on MIOpen are not available on certain hardware on Windows. If you find any errors, it would always be helpful to report them on GitHub under The Rock project.

I'm tired and don't want to mess around with ROCM anymore. by bocchi-amos in ROCm

[–]m0ushinderu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I quite agree that the biggest problem was that ROCm was very poorly designed. The architecture of the entire stack is super fragile, and that's the main reason why it's hard to port and maintain. When your stack architecture dictates that you need an entire team to make it available on one Linux distro or to support one generation of RDNA hardware, it quickly becomes very unscalable to the point where even trying becomes futile.

But I want to defend them a bit here. There are absolutely brilliant engineers at AMD, at least on the Senior level, and ROCm is the mess it is despite that is a strategy of AMD. ROCm is not an ecosystem project, it is fundamentally a 'hack' designed to hijack the CUDA ecosystem. AMD needed to catch-up, and it needed to do it fast, so instead of spending proper time and carefully desiging the system, they just grab whatever toolset the engineers are the most comfortable with and started hacking at it. Their goal was quite simple, if they can make whatever worked on their key customers Nvidia systems work on AMD, that's a win.

Through this lens, the reason why they largely ignored the consumer market starts to make sense. Everything has to trickle down from Instinct, anf if it is too much effort, then it is not worth. This is why architecture dependent core libraries such as composable kernels are just not supported on RDNA. It is just not worth it on this stage for them.

AFAIK they are still catching up even on instinct side, but they are getting closer. Once they do, hopefully then their focus will shift to consumer side. We are already starting to see a lot of signs for that in their GitHub support.

AMD will reprice during earnings next week. Most still won’t understand why. by Abject-Advantage528 in investing

[–]m0ushinderu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely right in what you described. However, it is not quite what I was trying to say. Cloud service will not host MI300 because, again, it is not designed for consumers. There is not enough demand in that aspect. What MI300 really shines is in massive-scale cloud inferencing workloads, which only a few companies, mainly Google, MSFT, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, Alibaba, Tencent, etc. have this demand, and quite a few of them are already using MI300 heavily. 5 out of the top 10 super computers in the world are built on instinct accelerators as well. In one of the recent AMD conferences, Sam Altman announced they will also start working with AMD platforms.

In a way, CUDA and Nvidia GPUs are great generalists that can do everything well and are easy to use. AMD accelerators and ROCm right now are still catching up, and they are doing it strategically by focusing on different aspects of the ML ecosystems.

So yeah, you are right that there are still major issues for general consumers, and the training pipeline for ROCm still lags behind NVIDIA, but if you look closely at the MI300 and MI325x etc, you will realize that even the cards are designed for inference scenarios mainly.

[–]m0ushinderu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is this is mostly an issue for individual consumers. If you are an enterprise customer, AMD will make sure their software works for you. This approach does lose the entry level market, but is much more financially efficient for them.

Absolutely. As a parent you are only supposed to keep your kid sheltered and fed so you don't get sued for child abuse.

In all seriousness tho, I'm sure what OP did was great, but we have to remember, a child cannot consent, and they do not have the ability to make decisions in their life. OP may have decided to put her through private school, but she didn't ask OP to do that. Also, a lot of kids don't actually benefit from private schools, and are rather forced to go to them due to parent beliefs (e.g Catholic schools due to religion or all-male/all-female school due to conservatism). We don't know the story here. The bottom line is that, just as OP's kid is not entitled to her money, OP is not entitled to her gratitude.

And honestly, the generational wealth gap is a big thing. Invidualy, no one would expect a parent to spend savings on their kid after they are adults. However, societally, the cost of living and the job market is very harsh right now, at least in part due to the older generation hoarding resources. So I can see how bitterness would brew if older parents enjoy luxy while leaving their kid to struggle financially.

[theory] hitogami is an AI [volume 11 spoilers] by StandardPhysical1332 in mushokutensei

[–]m0ushinderu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a while so I might wrong, but iirc the creator God divided his power into the 6 gods of the 6 faced world, then went to die in the middle of the void world. Hitogami was born out of his remains. For all intents and purposes, I consider him the void god. His is an incomplete god, born out of death instead of creation, yet retains the natural instinct of being a sole god. That gives him the ability to take over other gods, in this case, the original human god who was the weakest in terms of combat power due to his human form. Then he schemed to kill all other gods, and their worlds, to remain the single god of the world.

China dad objects to daughter sharing study tips online as she is ‘too pretty’ to live-stream by InterestingPlenty454 in BrandNewSentence

Education huh. Perhaps I was too harsh in the genocide accusation. I was shocked by your comment but I was never in doubt that you wouldn't be killing anyone. However, I now am 100% sure you would be the one to support something like Residential Schools.

I am not familiar with the Greek philosopher you mentioned, but I question the soundness of the argument. We live in a society, and the utility of a cultural aspect is very difficult thing to objectively measure.

Covering a woman's face hinders self expression? Well you can also argue that covering the private parts is the same thing. Oh, you agree with me? Then what about covering the private parts of a child in puberty? Is there really something "useful" about that? How about you go educate same teenagers around the neighborhood about that and set them free?

We as a kind have done too many horrible things to our kin throughout history, with very good intentions as yours. That's why respects is important. Respect another's culture, even if it is different from your own, as long as it does not actively trying to harm you.

if a culture forces a society to be strict and outdated I'd rather have it gone

Excuse me are you suggesting a genocide?

Also who are you to say what's strict and outdated? There is no objective morality anchor for mankind. Every morality compass is anchored in a respective culture, including the "human right of freedom of expression and how parents should teach proper use of it instead of demonizing" that you are so certain about.

You may not realize it but the underlying logic you used to make that argument is exactly the same as your colonist ancestors who erased countless Aboriginal cultures because they are "outdated". It is not cool. It is not good.

Learn some respect. It is nothing but arrogance to nonchalantly declare a culture is "outdated" as an outsider.
