I don't know it's pretty fucking close to a head shot. I'd be freaked the fuck out for sure.

You can improve it hugely. These things are very young.

There was a paper recently about removing the need for matrix multiplication from them which is a hugely expensive operation.

Dedicated hardware is also at a very early stage.

Yeah it's driver level so very small bugs can bring everything down

It's a third party piece of software causing the issues though.

I guess if the code acted as if it got a valid response without checking it could get into a very weird state. Or the code just fails hard.

At the driver level it's very easy to kill things.

Letting your employees work on what they like doesn't seem like the worst thing. It might hurt game profits but seems much nicer for the workers.

Twitter runs a single web application.

They also do make games.

Not sure what you mean? The hardware runs the software tasks more efficiently.

It's hardware specifically designed for running AI tasks. Like neural networks.

An NPU, or Neural Processing Unit, is a dedicated processor or processing unit on a larger SoC designed specifically for accelerating neural network operations and AI tasks. Unlike general-purpose CPUs and GPUs, NPUs are optimized for a data-driven parallel computing, making them highly efficient at processing massive multimedia data like videos and images and processing data for neural networks

But you can run more complex networks faster. Which is what I want.

Exactly what we are talking about.
