Well technically, the starting points were always other elements like bismuth, and not lead. I believe the authors checked, and noted that in the paper: https://journals.aps.org/prc/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevC.111.0... )


Spallation on a lead target will produce a wide range of elements, including gold.


I wonder what makes you say this? In my (limited) anecdotal experience, I've noticed that Austrians seem to have far higher levels of English competency than Germans, for example.


There's a song about this: 'When The War Came' by The Decemberists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJHOiQ2uniU


For anyone who's wondering, you can see your current kernel config in a file like /boot/config or /proc/config.gz


Can I also interpret this as: 'AMD's pytorch support is so abysmal that inference is 10x slower than it should be'?


Should it not say PyTorch's AMD support?


It takes two to tango. AMD is always welcome to contribute patches.

You also have to keep in mind some latest gen AMD GPUs don’t even officially support ROCm on Linux. That’s absurd.

AMD has a choice to invest more staff into ML support, they’re choosing not to.


I've harped on this on the past, the "official" hardware support list is tiny: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/release/gpu_os_support.h...

But, it's worth noting there's different levels of "support." With ROCm 5.6, the 7900XT and 7900XTX RDNA3 cards, while not "officially" supported are gfx1100, which have rocBLAS/MIOpen kernels and work w/o jiggerpokery w/ PyTorch nightly and various HIPified inferencers I've tried like ExLlama.


From Geohotz's investigation in the matter, it doesn't look like it's a manpower issue, it's a quality/culture issue. AMD's firmware GPU division isn't amazing.


Not quite: half are on the left, and half are on the right of the vertical line; and half are on the bottom and half on the top of the horizontal line.


It's also wrong: SO(n) matrices have determinant +1.


And, you know, it should be "their transpose is equal to their inverse", not "their transpose is equal to themselves".


Unfortunately, despite panels and batteries getting cheaper every year, not every rural household has the financial means to access these solutions. I'm really excited about initiatives creating microgrids with peer-to-peer payment systems, like solshare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v33ERl42VYM


The only way to avoid falling under the provisions of the act is to not have any customers in the EU -- that's quite a big market to cut yourself out of, and definitely something a big company cannot afford to do.


Has anyone here found a link to the actual paper? If I click on 'paper', I only see what seems to be an awkward HTML version.


You mean this? https://openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net/neuron-explainer/...

Would you prefer a PDF?

(I'm always fascinated to hear from people who would rather read a PDF than a web-native paper like this one, especially given that web papers are actually readable on mobile devices. Do you do all of your reading on a laptop?)


With a pdf I don't have to update my PDF reader multiple times per month just to be able to read text.

A PDF is a text document that includes all the text, images, etc within it in the state you are going to perceive them. That web page is just barely even a document. None of it's contents are natively within it, it all requires executing remote code which pulls down more remote code to run just to get the actual text and images to display... which they don't in my browser. I just see an index with links that don't work and the the "Contributions" which for some reason was actually included as text.

Even as the web goes up it's own asshole in terms of recursive serial loading of javascript/json/whatever from unrelated domains and abandons all backwards compatibility, PDF, as a document, remains readable. I wish the web was still hyperlinked documents. The "application" web sucks for accessibility.


The equations look terrible on Firefox for Android, as they are really small - a two-line fraction is barely taller than a single line, forcing me to constantly zoom in and out.

So yes, I would prefer a PDF and have a guarantee that it will look the same no matter where I read it.


> Would you prefer a PDF?

Yes, I was just reading the paper and some of the javascript glitched and deleted all the contents of the document except the last section, making me lose all context and focus. Doesn't really happen with PDF files.


> always fascinated

That feels like a loaded phrase. Is it "false confusion" adjacent?


My whole workflow of organizing and reading papers is centered on PDFs. While I like having interactive supplemental materials, I want to be able to print, save and annotate the papers I read.


If you want to draw on it, PDF is usually the best


Nope, reading the printed paper on... paper. :)


I personally prefer reading PDF on an iPad so I can mark it up.
