Intel's Sierra Forest, AMD's Zen 5, Nvidia's Blackwell, and OMG ITS TECHNOTIM - Talking Heads Ep.337

Not sure the last time I watched talking heads. Computex announcements plus Tim...I will definitely listen to this while writing data management strategy today.

1:13:42 if I want to watch someone drop things I watch LTT - if I want actual information I can use and new beers to try I come here.

Cheers boys.

You guys need a NoKi.... (Wan show viewers know)

Will comment to what I see/hear in "real time" to the stream. zen5 is meh, just the same old we have seen from amd, vanilla is usually about as fast or in many cases even slower then the x3d sku of older generation.(commented about the zen5 in the title of this stream) the skymont are performing as alder lake cores at lower speeds in certain scenarios, probably still not as powerful as skylake cores when they are running at full tilt. When it comes to StarTrek, then my fav is the animated series "lower decks" and I am a Trekkie since I saw Next Generation in the late 80s when I still was a kid.

I can't speak for everyone, but, we're in active dev on a few AI solutions that looks like conservatively will replace about 20% of our employees once it's full implemented.

Regarding AI, I think the best comparison I've been able to come up with is this: AI is the algorithmic equivalent of Unreal Engine and the Epic Store. It's a (relatively) standardized toolkit to help creative people accomplish a task. While Unreal Engine can grab a bunch of assets from Epic's store, AI grabs its dataset from the internet at large. Just as game dev toolkits help people who never could've made a game before realize their dreams, these AI art generation things can help people who never could quite figure out how to put their ideas into pictures actually do it. When I realized this, I realized that the outrage surrounding it in the art sphere was focused in the wrong direction. The outrage stems from the fact that artists have been historically starved, quite literally. Oppressive governments choose to devalue creative arts as a means to keep people who might inspire change from having the systemic ability to enact it. And so the real solution - where the outrage should be focused - is to address the financial situation properly, ensure that people and industries that have been historically oppressed are actually able to live flourishing lives while doing what they love.

01:01:30 Diesel is an abomination. It ranks worse than a coke zero. 😊

Love em all. Buuuuut-Deep space nine. Love TNG but too idealistic. And Voyager was a shit show at times. #TuvixWasMurdered

What up @TechnoTim! At what point do these insanely high CPU core counts, start to be faster than GPUs at parallel programming like AI training, inference, etc?
