my first thought was if is this will impact the memory market prices :)

did not follow all the details, but my understanding is that some form of copyright law nudges in the direction of destroy after scan?

If you dont have a real single market, what is EU? just easier to cross the borders?

Don't forget the two government buildings and sessions, for absolutely no fucking reason, because why not? Let's add even more bureaucracy to the mix!

It's better to be an EU MEP and do absolutely fuck all tbh.

funny how this also eliminates "close" fast moving objects. which I guess is a feature for a telescope

I mean funny in the sense of "we did not find any anomalies, because we are careful to filter them out"

For a long time, the chip manufacturers had an inclination to simplify the hardware and rely on the software adapting and optimizing. But for decades this bid failed. Now we have the unrelenting AI capable of finetuning kernels relatively quickly. Maybe simpler hw will work this time? Note: not sure if TPU/NPU is not only simple but also too limited.

I have some doubts. For example, there is no software replacement for out-of-order execution: It is unknown before runtime in which cache level the required data will be or which values it will have (which changes the latency of a few instructions).

What if caching was not transparent, but required explicit management?

That was the PS3 SPU. It was very fast for its time, but only for the small subset of code that could work within its constraints, and viciously difficult to program for.

We tried that, doesnt work out in general computers running more than one task.

DSPs do that, Atari Jaguar, Sony PS2 and PS3 did, all the GPUs manually manage cache.

More than one task and you start a fight over resources, have to manage hierarchies, priorities, all the stuff that now happens automagically.

I think Leopold of "situational awareness" fame predicted this, tried to make it widely known on podcasts and x, and still started billions worth of hedge funding based on this.

Ironically enough it's because of its bet on RAM companies that all of Situational Awareness' publicly trading stocks got bought by the highest bidder (Citadel) when the (leveraged) shit hit the proverbial fan and Situational Awareness created a hole of tens of billions.

Situational Awareness was not forced to sell its share in Anthropic for, by contract, investors in Situational Awareness have no right to force the sale (before this month of September I think) of shares in companies not publicly trading yet.

Citadel bought those RAM stocks right at the end of July, during the dip. Amazing timing for for example MU bounced back from $746 back to above $1000 (now around $950).

Now Situational Awareness may still do exceptionally well: they've got $5 billion or so left in Anthropic AIUI.

"It is probable"

So RAM manufacturers will turn down company B's $2M offer for company A's $1M offer because company A "needed it more"?

I'm actually done discussing this...

My comment is about B offering 2M when normally the price of that RAM was around 1M. Most probably B has a way to get > 2M value from that RAM.

This is a misunderstanding of bubble markets to an extreme degree.

In a bubble market where B has massive amounts of capital allocated to it in a way that will likely collapse in the future than it's very likely they will never recuperate the 2M they put in the RAM. Instead buyer A that would get at least 1M of usefulness if not more, gets far less, crippling their business. Then when B collapses a ton of RAM is dumped on the market for far less than 1M cratering the RAM providers business for years.

the fact ppl reading this are not lol-ing makes me sad.

I am taking some bromelain and papain capsules which according to some (small) studies should help. In my experience, the floaters became more transparent, but don't disappear. This is still useful i guess.

Worth wondering why they used a crap model.
