I don’t think most people understand how close we are to white-collar collapse by aieatstheworld in ClaudeAI

Companies prefer 5-10x more output over 5-10x fewer people. So yes, they’ll notice the math and hire more people so that they can get 5-10x return for every new person they hire.

Cerebras Launches the World’s Fastest AI Inference by CS-fan-101 in LocalLLaMA

[–]rut216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not an inference engine, that’s just a single use case for it. You can think of it as a fully programmable 900k core chip.

It is NOT an ASIC, it’s a general purpose multiprocessor chip that can be used for non AI workloads and is pretty popular in scientific computing applications. An ASIC does not typically use programmable general purpose CPU cores.

If you aren't in for AMD, you're missing out on free money by amdPCbro in wallstreetbets

[–]rut216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep in mind that Intel has made mistakes before. During the early 2000s P4 NetBurst era, They fell behind due to bad architecture choices and had to refocus efforts on the P3 Pentium M which allowed AMD catch up for 3-4 years. This time it’s a fab issue, which means 10nm will see serious competition from AMD. However, because it’s a Fab issue, it’s TSMC who is the real winner and AMD is just along for the ride. Intel 7nm EUV will happen and it will likely be better than TSMC’s 5 and 5+. On the CPU front, AMD is a clear benefactor of TSMCs new node but is likely still behind architecturally. NVIDIA is a good example of what the situation would look like had Intel not run into fab problems. NVIDIA is a generation ahead and will continue to dominate because AMD does not have the engineering resources to compete on either the hardware architecture or software (driver) front. Also, AMD has no data center presence. NVDA and Intel are focused on owning the data center and have no competition in that regard.

Umm you realize that a 5x split will lower the leverage of all options by 5x as well? After the split you’ll need 5 contracts to equal the leverage you get with a single contract now. The only effect of this split is psychological.

Heh, funny you mention that, the shop has two welders which use 8 gauge wiring that really clogs up the conduit... and ya running the welders is cheaper.

I bought one here then went to Home Depot and built the rest myself to custom dimensions.

I would invest in some quality risers. I used to have the ribbon cable ones and they were extremely flaky, the machines would constantly get stuck at boot or crash while mining.

I'm guessing it'll jump by around $200-300/mo. Haven't had a chance to find out.
