"AI relies on compute — nanoscopic silicon wafers with tens of billions of transistors. 90% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors are fabricated in one place — TSMC.(...) In the science fiction novel 'Dune', 'spice' is the most important resource in the universe; in an AI economy, compute is the new spice. Somehow, this tiny tropical island has become Arrakis, sitting on the first faultline of the future — compute."

@Soblow you do realize the #tesla drivers are for #headless & #compute cards like the #Tesla & #GRID - Series by #nVidia?

They don't do any #EnergySaving as they're designed to be in a Server Chassis that pushes a lot of air through their cooling fins 24/7 at high static pressure...

They literally die a heat death in regular cases unless one shoves a fan shroud and some #Noctua #IndustrialPPC #fan on them!

@bennomatic No, but I read the real Compute! all thru early- to mid-80s, it started to suck by '86-ish, stopped being useful in '88.

It does feel a little like #nvidia has a monopoly on #AI and #compute? Which in a world where regulators are flexing, feels quite weird. Or am I totally missing something?
I do wonder how the CMA feels about this, let alone non-US governments.

Missed yesterday's IPVM Community Call? You can watch the replay here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsACwgJpYEU #IPVM #compute #computeoverdata

@thefreehunter do you even know how much #compute power #Facebook can throw at things?

They can literally go #GreatCannon like the #GreatFirewall and #DoS / #DDoS single instances just with exess farts of their datacenters.

So expect them to go full #EmbraveEnhanceAndExtinguish if not #racketeer by virtue of their computational power and demand bs like "direct peering" and "premium cashing"...

Also you do realize that #NSAbook is literally a front for #US #intel?

this dude still holding firm on a g4 iMac with HK speakers. probably needs snow leopard for #rosetta to run hypercard or a legal database that hasn't been touched since 2008.

or he hasn't used his home office at his vacation home in quite some time 😂

When running a computation, we take arguments and apply them to a Wasm function. This outputs a CID or content identifier. When computation runs over these CIDs, new CIDs are output.

This means we can compute over that content-addressed data without needing a centralized server!

Using capabilities based on UCAN, we can determine who can run different computations. Perhaps one job is better for Bacalhau, another for Fastly, etc.

Maybe you only want computation to happen on a cluster of machines that you and your friends run and no others.

We let IPVM handle the matchmaking and authorization checking so that different systems can work together to complete the job. Learn more: https://fission.codes/blog/cod-summit-2023-foundations-for-open-world-compute/ #computeoverdata #distributedsystems #compute

We're living in a server-centric world. Technical innovations in LLMs and IoT are being held back by lack of infrastructure in emerging markets and the sheer weight of all of the data we're processing. We'll never be able to scale if we don't have location-independent compute over data.

That's why we're building IPVM, a decentralized Wasm-based compute stack that allows deterministic computations to run anywhere, including wherever the data is stored. https://fission.codes/blog/cod-summit-2023-ipvm-for-an-open-world/ #wasm #compute

Installed the first server in the "mega loop" 😅 The A4000 water blocks and PCI pass-through cut the flow considerably, it will be interesting to see the rate change with additional cards. Air cooled, the GPU cores sat around ~70c under full load. Water cooling has them at ~30c doing the same work (but faster!). Maintains better clocks 👌 #servers #metal #compute #homelab #gpu #watercooling

Question for the #cloud and #vps / #compute crowd - anyone got #recommendations for #EU based ones (not just US/other with servers in the EU)?

I saw a post about a #german company with "hobby friendly" prices for their lowest tier some time back but seems I didn't bookmark the toot. 🙃

Still toying with #webgpu ... Not sure what I was trying to accomplish with this example, or what I was expecting exactly.

I suppose it is a hybrid of #raycasting / #raymarching (not with a signed distance field, but with scalar field gradients) and #marchingcubes (minus the polygonization). Maybe there is a proper name for it in the graphics circles?

I am using a #compute #shader to create a 3D texture with scalar field values and gradients, and sampling it in the fragment shader (the thing that shoots it with rays 🙂 )

Assuming the compression did not kill it, I kinda liked the quality more than using the conventional marching cubes/tetrahedra. Still, it might be a waste of GPU power on something simple. Also there are some undesirable artefacts that I could not get rid of.

The toy could be found here: https://ghadeeras.github.io/pages/scalar-field-tracing

why do i feel like someone at #microsoft is using scrollig for trolling in Windows 11?

apparently i need #registry hax to use what #Apple calls #naturalScrolling in my Windows 11 VM.

but it's pretty slick that it's the ARM version of Windows 11 on AppleSilicon via UTM.

i had never used the UUP dumps before to build installation ISO images but i built a Windows 11 image for intel and ARM and it was pretty straightforward. i am also emulating a #sparcstation.

A 1982 Issue of Compute Introduces the Commodore 64
Overseeing the early days of computing was Compute! Magazine, properly stylized with an exclamation point. They got their start as The PET Gazette, changing over to Compute as their focus spread into more types of home microcomputers. Compute stuck around as a multi-platform for some time, but u
