The last part is absolutely false. The Nvidia H100 TDP is like 700W, though ostensibly configurable. The B200 is 1000W. The AMD MI300X is 750W.

They also skimp on RAM with many SKUs so you have to buy the higher clocked ones.

They run in insane power bands just to eek out a tiny bit more performance. If they ran at like a third of their power, I bet they would be at least twice as power efficient, and power use scales over nonlinearly with voltage/clock speed.

But no, just pedal to the metal. Run the silicon as hard as it can, and screw power consumption.

Other AI companies like Cerebras are much better, running at quite sane voltages. Ironically (or perhaps smartly), the Saudis invested in them.

More I read, the more predictable Israeli politics seems.

The outcome always seems to be “what’s most beneficial for Netanyahu’s survival.”

And in this case, its preserving the status quo since he needs that for a coalition, I guess?

I mean the application could tell by looking at how its encoded, right?

Though I acknowledge how problematic “trusting” the app to do that is.

Well it would be great if more of their models were ‘freeware’ too.

Microsoft just loves to have their cake, eat it… and not share it.

Yeah, I feel like people are freaking out and ignoring that Biden (and Trump) are largely the people they surround themselves with, and the policies they push.

They’ve both been president for years.

Yeah, I mean we’re like lobsters being slow boiled.

This whole situation is mad, but it feels plausible because it’s been ratcheted up so gradually.

Can you imagine the country’s reaction if they say this 2 decades ago?

No, plenty of nonpartisan and even liberal people were yelling this too. I had no illusions of Biden’s age.

America is not just two internet echo chambers… even if it feels like it right now.

It’s because they use every dirty trick for views.

Stuffing it into your feed unsolicited, autoplaying it, promoting it everywhere because it’s an engaging post, spamming push notifications, whatever. Not to speak of a swarm of bots liking it.

It’s probably as inflated as can be without being obviously legally negligent.
