  • Intel says integrating RAM into Lunar Lake SoC was a mistake, might abandon desktop GPUs again

  • True, yet Nvidia was a nobody that arrived out of nowhere with the Riva graphics cards, and beat everybody else thoroughly. ATi, S3, 3Dfx, Matrox etc.

    Actually, they didn't.

    This was their first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NV1

    Complete failure, overpriced, undercapable, was one of the worst cards on the market at the time, and used quadratics instead of triangles.

    NV2 was supposed to power the dreamcast, and kept the quads, but was cancelled.

    But the third one stayed up! https://youtu.be/w82CqjaDKmA?t=23

  • I mean fine, but first gen, they can fix the features and yields over time.

    First gen chips are rarely blockbusters, my first gen chips were happy to make it through bringup and customer eval.

    Worse because software is so much of their stack, they had huge headroom to grow.

  • Well damn it, now I have regrets too!

  • Arcs are OK, and the competition is good. Their video encode performance is absolutely unworldly though, just incredible.

    Mostly, they help bring the igpu graphics stack and performance up to full, and keep games targeting them well. They're needed for that alone if nothing else.

    They're good at being configured and forgotten about.

    My main rack, that's more complicated, I have proper gear, but mikrotik is great for everything else.

  • Sorry, public universities get into the act too:

    https://www.buffalo.edu/tcie/grow-your-business/collaborate/research-partners.html

    Oak ridge is a partnership with UTK, and one of the few ways to get literate people into Tennessee. Sandia is the same, mostly funded by private corporations or the military/DOE.

    Berkeley is too, we got mips and a ton of other stuff out of that.

    You're upset they don't profit more, then demand a bigger share from licensing!

    They don't demand more because the administrators are corrupt as all fuck, and take small rewards in exchange for selling the larger ones, but even UT has a ton of money coming in from profit sharing, and most decent research universities do.

    I'd love to see us cut tuition by making universities more reliant on research and/or alumni funding, they'd end up focusing on things that lead to successful student outcomes.

  • We think the way the 3 quarks entangle to make a neutron could be asymmetric, such that it's not a perfect, canceled out neutral blob.

    Up quarks have +2/3 of a charge, down quarks have - 1/3.

    Depending on how they all exist in the nucleus (quarks can't be free, they basically have to be bound to each other, it's why the strong force is so strong), they could overlap perfectly, or they could be next to each other like in a triangle, and we could notice that a neutron actually has a polarity where one side is slightly (impossibly slightly) more positive/negative than the other.

    Then we have polarized neutrons, and your whole life is a lie.

    But we've looked, and basically there's no sign as far as we can tell, which is unfortunate, it means quarks are truly lost in the 'quark-gluon soup' of a hadron.

  • First of all, they don't, that's how publicly funded R&D works, the IP is shared, or licensed, but the product is owned.

    Have you never read about actual patent licensing for places like Stanford and MIT? How do you think those work? The professors license the patents on behalf of the schools and either get a share, or in exchange for grants.

    This model works, and has worked pretty well, it's why we rocked all research for decades.

  • Hmm… Would a corporate entity accept such a return?

    They do, on a daily basis.

    How many multinationals invest in r&d for one of their subsidiaries.

    The country is investing in something that a subcomponent of it will benefit from, as will its taxpayers and trade balance.

    Why does private capital gets special treatment and has requiremets to provide economics return to the owner while taxpayer’s fund are treated like free money to increase returns for the owners of private capital.?

    I'm not saying it should.

    You're conflating the definite problem of socializing risks vs privatizing losses with the clear benefit of investment in domestic r&d.

    There should be a payback to the taxpayer, and btw, there actually is in that the engineers working those jobs pay taxes.

    The corporations MUST pay more taxes, I am 100% on board with that, but don't conflate that with the overall benefit of r&d investment.

    We are literally arguing over something that only exists because the government invested in it to the detriment of phone companies who wanted to keep charging ludicrous rates for leased lines and long-distance calls. You need to get over black and white.

    Just recognized your username, nvm, wasting my breath.

  • The taxpayer return is that we can finally start bringing cutting edge fabrication back to the US.

    This is a bit like saying 'Schools are such a ripoff for the taxpayer, the corporations get the benefit of knowledgeable workers!!!'

    You want an IP deal? Fine, we should work out a licensing partnership, but this is the most important technology of our time, the benefit is clear.

  • So, as someone whose last job was in ai:

    Sigh, yeah, this is basically how it works...

    Throw unimaginable amounts of data at a GPU, you convert words to numbers through an algorithm called word2vec, then correlate between the words in context, English on one side, unknown language on the other, just looking for any connection at all. If the vector products are above a threshold (we call that activation) then there might be a relationship.

    Once you have it you experiment with it, try to make more associative connections building on that. The gpus just churn endlessly till they go 'bing'.

    We did a simpler version as humans with the Rosetta stone, it had Greek, which we knew, and 2 forms of Egyptian, which we didn't.

    Yeah the show is ludicrous in having someone point to a broom, say 'mekh' and the next sentence is 'I'm afraid the current structure of relations in the alpha quadrant requires us to demand you no longer perform warp travel through our sector as we do not tolerate antimatter reactions under our religion' translated from 'guh-tah!'
