I think he is too. But neither of us is qualified to make the diagnosis officially. 😆
He isn’t autistic. He simply said he is. Which makes him a giant piece of shit.
Anybody buying one of these clown cars deserves all the bad that comes with it.
81·7 months agoOk, I think I see where I misunderstood what’s happening.
… and the transport agency refused to deliver the plates by other means, saying it was contractually bound to use PostNord.
However, Norrkoping district court ruled the agency must get the plates to Tesla within seven days or pay a fine of 1 million Swedish crowns
So basically the transport agency says they are required to use PostNord, PostNord workers are refusing to deliver plates for Tesla for solidarity, and the court has said that the transport agency must deliver plates. I initially read it last night as PostNord was told they had to deliver the plates for the transport agency or face a fine, but that’s clearly not true after a second reading. Thanks for pointing that out!
The question I have now is, if the transport agency of Sweden is contractually obligated to use PostNord, how do they get around this issue? I guess I would have assumed there’s an option for a business to retrieve their plates directly from the authority, but perhaps not? And what happens to plates that were already in PostNord’s possession? I’m looking forward to seeing how all of this plays out, and what other unions might join in.
The court literally told them they need to. I’m on the worker’s side here, but the court said what they said.
Hah, sorry!
The decision is literally only that NordPost needs to deliver the plates. Nothing else has been decided. Still no dock workers, electricians, cleaners, etc. only that plates must be delivered. Which doesn’t mean much if the vehicles aren’t being offloaded at your ports.
17·7 months agoThe “large scale cracking sound” seems like something to worry about. Yeesh. Hopefully they can find a reliable way to get these guys out of there sooner rather than later.
Let’s review. They said there was nothing xenophobic. But the original weirdo had some BS to say about american universities. Textbook definition. They said that there was no ageism until I said something, completely ignoring the fact that the original person initially claimed I was younger then them so I had no experience. I responded noting that I’ve been in the industry quite some time, not as an argument from experience but as a retort to the claim I was new to all of this.
The fact is, the person you’re now defending clearly didn’t read the thread, and you’re just here concern trolling. I provided links to retort the frankly idiotic claims about ASICs not being a far more popular choice than FPGAs, and it’s hysterical to see you people coming through worried about the discourse rather than the facts of the matter.
Bye now.
Not really. Not worth responding to the rest.
Not for no reason. They made claims, I provided links, they whined about it. They provided zero links backing up their 40 year old claim that FPGA would replace anything that didn’t run away fast enough.
You should research, then.
There’s several write-ups covering it all.
They can be a xenophobic, ageist jagoff all they want. I’m not engaging with them anymore. They’re the carpenter that thinks a hammer solves all problems, if we pretend they actually did anything with FPGA as their day job.
I mean, you’re such an absolute know-nothing that it’s hilarious. Nice xenophobic bullshit sprinkled in too. Sorry, no university for me, let alone FPGA in university in the 90s. When my friends were in university they were still spending their time learn Java.
The world has changed since 30 years ago
Indeed. And people like me have been there every step of the way. Your ageism is showing.
and the future of integer operations is in reprogrammable chips
Yes, I remember hearing this exact sentiment 30 years ago. Right around the time we were hearing (again) how neural networks were going to take over the world. People like you are a dime a dozen and end up learning their lessons in a painfully humbling experience. Good luck with that, I hope you take it for the lesson it is.
All the benefit of a fab chip
Except the amount of wasted energy, and extreme amount of logic necessary to make it actually work. You know. The very fucking problem everybody’s working hard to address.
The very idea that you think all these companies are looking to design and build their own single purpose chips
The very idea that you haven’t kept up with the industry and how many companies have developed their own silicon is laugh out loud comedy to me. Hahahaha. TSMC has some news for you.
You’re only describing how ASIC is used in switches
Nope, I actually described how they are used in SoCs, not in switching fabrics.
That’s not how general use computing works in the world anymore, buddy
Except all those Intel processors I mentioned, those ARM chips in your iPhones and Pixels, the ARM processors in your macbooks. You know. Real nobodies in the industry.
It’s never going to be a co-proc in a laptop that can load models and do general inference, or be a useful function for localized NN.
Intel has news for you. It’s impressive how in touch you pretend to be in “the industry” but how little you seem to know about actual products being actually sold today.
Hey, quick question. Does nvidia have FPGAs in their GPUs? No? Hmm. Is the H100 just a huge set of FPGA? No? Oh, weird. I wonder why, since you in all your genuis has said that’s the way everybody’s going. Strange that their entire product roadmap shows zero FPGA on their DPUs, GPUs, or on their soon to arrive SoCs. You should call Jensen, I bet he has so much to learn from a know-it-all like you that has some amazing ideas about US universities. Hey, where is it that all these tech startup CEOs went to university?
Tell you what. Don’t bother responding, nothing you’ve said holds any water or value.
I’m assuming you’re a big crypto fan
Swing and a miss.
because that’s about all I could say of ASIC in an HPC type of environment to be good for
Really? Gee, I think switching fabrics might have a thing to tell you. For someone that does this for a living, to not know the extremely common places that ASICs are used is a bit of a shock.
want a CHEAP solution
Yeah, I already covered that in my initial comment, thanks for repeating my idea back to me.
and ASIC is the most short-term
Literally being atabled to the Intel tiles in Sapphire Rapids and beyond. Used in every switch, network card, and millions of other devices. Every accelerator you can list is an ASIC. Shit, I’ve got a Xilinx Alveo 30 in my basement at home. But yeah, because you can get an FPGA instance in AWS, you think you know that ASICs aren’t used. lmao
e-wastey
I’ve got bad news for you about ML as a whole.
inflexible
Sometimes the flexibility of a device’s application isn’t the device itself, but how it’s used. Again, if I can do thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of integer operations in a tenth of the power, and a tenth of the clock cycles, then load those results into a segment of activation functions that can do the same, and all I have to do is move this data with HBM and perhaps add some cheap ARM cores, bridge all of this into a single SoC product, and sell them on the open market, well then I’ve created every single modern ARM product that has ML acceleration. And also nvidia’s latest products.
Woops.
When you get a job in the industry
I’ve been a hardware engineer for longer than you’ve been alive, most likely. I built my first FPGA product in the 90s. I strongly suspect you just found this hammer and don’t actually know what the market as a whole entails, let alone the long LONG history of all of these things.
Do look up ASICs in switching, BTW. You might learn something.
Now ask open AI to type for you what the draw backs of FPGA is. Also the newest slew of chips is using partially charged NAND gates instead of FPGA.
Almost all ASIC being used right now is implementing the basic math functions, activations, etc. and the higher level work is happening in more generalized silicon. You can not get the transistor densities necessary for modern accelerator work in FPGA.
Not at all useful something like running neutral networks
Um. lol What? You may want to do your research here, because you’re so far off base I don’t think you’re even playing the right game.
There’s a reason why datacenters don’t lease ASIC instances.
Ok, so you should just go ahead and tell all the ASIC companies then.

Seriously. You realize that the most successful TPUs in the industry are ASICs, right? And that all the “AI” components in your phone are too? What are you even talking about here?
When selling out goes mainstream…
