Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

okay so that post’s core supposition (“using ptx instead of cuda”) is just ~~fucking wrong~~ fucking weird and I’m not going to spend time on it, but it links to this tweet which has this:
this still reads more like simply tuning allocation than outright scheduler and execution control (which your post alluded to)
[x] doubt
e: original wording because cuda still uses ptx anyway, whereas this post looks like it’s saying “they steered ptx directly”. at first I read the tweet more like “asm vs python” but it doesn’t appear to be what that part meant to convey. still doubting the core hypothesis tho
well you're always free to doubt and do your own research-- as i mentioned- it is something i read and between believing what the US tech bros are saying when all their money and hegemony is on the line vs what the chinese have given up for free-use, i am going to go out on a limb and trust the chinese. you're free to make your own decisions in this regard and kudos for having your own mind.
mine isn’t a “USA v China: Jelly Wrestling Deluxe” comment and you’re not really understanding the point
what is your point? i thought i was giving a "explain like i'm 5" answer to a guy asking for one... you came along asking me to show sources... now this?
the point is that your eli5 is unfounded rumour hearsay bullshit (and thus it’s entirely pointless to spread it), then when giving you a relatively gentle indication of that you decided to cosplay an ostrich
pro-tip: if it ain’t something you actually understand something about, probably best to avoid uncritically amplifying shit about it
so you're saying i'm wrong and i'm spreading misinfo... its somehow wrong that china got more juice out of the cards by bypassing cuda to better micromanage some aspect of the process?
you are not tall enough for this ride, go try some candyfloss and walking the hall of mirrors instead

a klaxon going off for dumbasses would be a health-impacting constant noise, no thx
according to some shit called xatakaon paraphrasing the parts of Nazi social media frequented by goofy as shit AI grifters
that was the first source i found and used it .. and anyway you found the corroborating details yourself which supported my claim..
I know you’ve already been made to fuck off but “corroborating details” looooooool
yeah the evidences that support. what you asked for.
????? are goofy as shit AI grifters “corroborating details”?
thought i was talking to the other guy, didn't know i was getting tag teamed, you understand. (or you can choose not to i guess)
jesus christ you’re going to make this entire thread this exact type of tedious nonsense aren’t you? time for you to fuck off out of this thread. TechTakes isn’t the place for you and your friends to salivate over a supposedly less shitty LLM or repost horseshit from e/a Twitter
also, holy fuck their entire post history on their 5 day old account is just them doing this rapid fire tedious shit and then throwing themselves dramatically on the ground when they get called out for it. good fucking riddance
hey i'm only replying... i'm not doing the heavy lifting with regards to making this thread x,y,z
