Do you understand what CUDA does versus what OneAPI does? (Getting computer architecture analysis from Reuters is not a good idea.)
I didn't say PG should apologize to investors, I just "liked" @XYang2023 's post that did. Investors actually cheered, apparently, after PG was appointed CEO...
Not correct. Not correct that OneAPI is directly comparable to CUDA, and not correct that lack of OneAPI support is the reason why Gaudi has not been successful. OneAPI, while innovative and useful for making multi-platform code practical, is not a huge success on its own either.
This is the...
OneAPI isn't especially relevant for AI. OneAPI exists so you can write a program in a high-level language, like DPC++, and have it run on various hardware processing architectures, like FPGAs, CPUs, or GPUs without hardware-specific modifications. While One API is very interesting for many...
That, and this assertion:
Don't go together well.
Inexcusable, IMO. There are AI designs he could buy in the industry to get a jumpstart, but PG believes everything looks like a CPU. AI products can look like CPUs, but they won't be competitive that way. Ampere is trying that strategy and...
What rigorous testing did he specifically ask for that wasn't planned?
Not nonsense to me. Lack of winning strategies in datacenter AI and datacenter networking, dramatic over-hiring, ridiculously expensive voluntary retirement programs to reduce headcount (which usually caused the loss of the...
Not that I can discern. You can read the CIT ruling for yourself.

If you go back and compare the precedents cited in this document to the Supreme Court precedents cited in the Congressional document I posted earlier, I don't see much if...
Yup. There has never been another "Catch me if you can!" President that I'm aware of, so I hope Congress is learning a lesson here. The separation of powers exist for a reason. It's a good thing the Supreme Court is mostly keeping the lower courts in line too, because lower court federal...
That's what the Constitution says, but Congress has delegated tariff authority to the President. Some light reading on the topic from an authoritative source:

To make matters worse, in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977...
The appeals court reinstatement was only a "pause".
At the moment, all three branches of the US government look disorganized and unprofessional. Their HR groups should put all senior leaders in each branch on a PIP.
Absolutely not. Actually, I can't think of any technology that can be contained or restrictively controlled by any one group, whether that's a company or a country, given enough investment and time. And I think we're about to find out how true that is for semiconductor design and fabrication...
While I still disagree with your thread title as a general statement, it does look like Chinese citizens will get special scrutiny in being granted student visas.

It still looks like Chinese...
I wouldn't be too sure about that. The State Department has the legal responsibility to perform screening and vetting of foreign students to get visas. In the past there was extensive vetting regarding members of foreign armed forces getting visas and then working on research projects related...
I find it frustrating that I often agree with Trump's high-level objectives, but I seldom agree with his methods for achieving those objectives. How he negotiates with allies is beyond frustrating, and walks well into embarrassing.
I also don't agree with limiting chips we sell to China. That...
I agree, so long as the expert in a given domain doesn't get so used to be the smartest person in the room that they think they're always the smartest person in every room. I've run into so many people like this over the years. The smartest overall people I know are often the ones who know...
X-Ray? Gamma Ray? I remember IBM investigating X-Ray lithography decades ago. There's probably too much at stake economically for the industry to hit a brick wall and just call it quits.
