But they haven't exposed them to use. They are missing a tremendous opportunity. They have that unique unified memory model on the m1/m2 arms so they have something no other consumer devices have. If they exposed their neural chips they'd solidify their lead. They could sell a lot more hardware.
This is just allowing PyTorch to make use of the Apple GPU, assuming the models you want to train aren't written with hard-coded CUDA calls (I've seen many that are like that, since for a long time that was the only game in town)
PyTorch can't use the Neural Engine at all currently
AFAIK Neural Engine is only usable for inference, and only via CoreML (coremltools in Python)
Thank you! I wasn't aware of that. Let me research that. May 2022 announcement. Is this suitable for the the apps like llama.cpp since it's a Python library? It appears to be a library but they didn't document how to use the underlying hardware - but I welcome more info.
Design like most words has a definition that’s generic so it can be applied as needed. There is no immutable rule when to use it.
The cone of shame my dog has right now “looks cool”; very sleek and streamline for a disposable thing, the designer surely was paid a premium, but the fasteners mechanics were poorly designed; vet tech said even she struggles with them and she puts them on dogs all week.
Design is how it looks and works as “designers” come up with both. The whole idea we can just put our foot down regarding definitions is not at all how reality works since nothing works on divine mandate. It’s relative.
"We talk about design often. At some point during any human lifetime, they will use the word design, and that's a big deal. Aside from 'the' and the 'a' and the 'an' in various languages, design is the fourth most popular word used. Before design was constructed we had the Mesopotamian era, and we all know how that was." -Reggie Watts, 2011
Uh, the article also points out that the algorithm itself can't tell you anything definitive about how a given tweet will be ranked without the training data.
She defrauded people who would go to court and claim fraud laws are unconstitutional restrictions on speech if it served their purpose. They’re opportunists who will spin whatever tune empowers them.
Murdoch and co’s only life skill is being rich which mesmerizes those who think fiat economics and American civic life are divine mandates of a higher power even if they don’t belong to a traditional religion.
Okay. Mother Teresa was (according to some) a nasty, torturing bitch. Fair enough.
I actually selected her as an example because off the cuff I couldn't think of someone else that some significant proportion of folks here on HN wouldn't say exactly that about. I guess I shouldn't have used a real person as an example. Lesson learned. N.B.: I am an atheist and find the Catholic Church (not specific Catholic adherents, I judge individuals based on their individual behavior) to be, in the main, a bad thing.
My point wasn't to glorify Mother Teresa (or anyone else). Rather, I was pointing out that it wouldn't have mattered who Theranos' investors were, Holmes would have defrauded them too.
Perhaps a better example would have been an attorney who works 60 hours a week at their day job doing pro-bono cases and litigating malicious/unfair prosecutions of innocent people, then funds and runs a soup kitchen/food pantry for the hungry another 40 hours a week. Is that better?
I'm sure some segment of the folks here will decry even that person too, as a rabble-rouser trying to destroy civilization through wealth redistribution (one bowl of soup and a piece of bread at a time) and questioning the authority of the police and prosecutors.
Who are, of course, the salt of the earth and only do what they do for the best of reasons (cf. The Innocence Project, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, The Central Park Five, etc., etc,. etc.) /s
So I'll make the point again without the distraction (causing folks to ignore my point -- apologies for sending you down the Mother Teresa rat hole?) of an actual, flawed, human being:
Holmes would almost certainly have defrauded any investors, regardless of your (the general 'you' here) opinion of the value of that particular persons' moral/ethical bona fides.
Apple is ahead of the game for a change getting their chips in line as the software exits alpha and goes mainstream.
