Well I'm just gonna leave this here LTT needs to lawyer up 
 
 

Summary
Sepp Hochreiter is the scientist who invented Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in the 90s. LSTM is the technical foundation for a lot of modern AI-based tech, including Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google Translate, Google Voice, Google DeepMind's StarCraft II agent and OpanAI Five (a Dota 2 agent). He and his team at the Johannes Kepler University of Linz, Austria have developed a model which based on preliminary tests yields better results than GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. However, he cannot develop and test it further because Austria does not offer enough funding for AI research.

My thoughts
The original article by Austrian media predominantly focuses on problems of AI research funding in Austria. However, I believe that the news that there is an LSTM-based LLM that is faster than GPT-4 and that can take more information as context thanks to its usage of LSTM should be news enough in itself to get international attention. It seems that due to the lack of state funding, the technology is destined to end up in the hands of a gigantic corporation like Amazon or Facebook, instead of being released publicly (i.e., freely and openly).

Feeling guilty to necro an old thread, but it has to be done due to xkcd 979.
 
Not sure what the problem was, but removing the CMOS battery and re-inserting it again fixed the issue. Then I updated the BIOS to a newer version just in case, and the problem did not reappear. So all is good.
 
RAM speed, Secure Boot, etc., were not a factor. After CMOS clear I tried booting with several variations of those settings, the problem did not reappear.

Out of a cannon.
 
Thing is they fired him too hard, and he made a complete orbit around the Earth and landed right back at his desk.

It's been confirmed by Linus that this was indeed the vector of attack.

It's pinned to the top of this page. There's a large box with the entire post from Floatplane. 

Verge is reporting a common vector of attacks by fake sponsors sending fake sponsor videos for YouTubers to use, which turns out to be malware. They are citing YouTube as the source for this information. Mind you, they are reporting this as a general thing that happens, not claiming that this is what happened to LMG.

Maybe they can make the Floatplane video on the problem available to everyone? Kinda worried about them, and the one video that has information is paywalled 💀

it’s just a text saying that they are aware about the situation and they’re working with google to get things solved. i also i think it got pinned somewhere here

I propose GSU, Graphics Supply Unit. Cause that is an absolute unit.

An LG DualUp review would be neat!

I think many of you are way too optimistic about the continuing existence of desktop PCs in their current form. Hardware manufacturers have consistently shown a pattern of taking control away from consumers via a 'we know best for you' approach, as is especially evident with the smartphone industry and Apple. Any loss of customizability or repairability is arguably a good thing FOR MANUFACTURERS, as it forces consumers to spend more and more often. The increased profits from these policies and cut costs from eliminating unnecessary middlemen (i.e. separate GPU or motherboard manufacturers) will vastly overshadow any slight decreases in yield from the larger sizes of the SoCs.
 
As much as we all hate it, the average layperson won't ever be able to understand the nuances of 'losing customizability and repairability', as their ape brains are wooed by the 'lightest, thinnest, shiniest' new device. We are the last of a soon-to-be dying breed of PC hardware enthusiasts. 
 
 

That is good, though. They will update a single line of code and submit the app. If the app is not launching anymore, the update will get rejected. If the app is perfect and bug-free, it'll pass review and get submitted.
 
This will just cause everyone to check if their app still launches, and the ones that do not will get removed.

The M1 MBA is dope af. I have a gaming PC, high refresh monitor and the M1 MBA is by far the better computer for usability.

I just made an account to post this because I felt like Linus failed to do enough due diligence to research this topic properly.
 
He was right to acknowledge that these aren't SSDs, but are raw storage modules with the controller embedded in the SoC. But Apple Silicon Macs don't work like x86 PCs, storage included. It's not an apples to apples comparison, so you can't bring over x86 logic to ARM and expect it to work. 
 
But don't take it from me. Read this thread from Hector Martin, one of the Asahi Linux developers that brought Linux to M1 Macs. I certainly think he knows much more about this topic than Linus...

Unraid will merely be using the smb.conf tweaks I already applied.

Anyway I can confirm my biggest problem was actually caused by Rosetta 2.  Topaz finally updated Gigapixel to native Apple Silicon and now highlighting tons of files in the file requester is many orders of magnitude faster.  It still slows down as you highlight more, but for any sane number of files its single-digits of seconds rather than getting close to a minute.

Samba doesn't work well with macOS, as far as I remember. Unraid offers a specific option in it's SMB settings to optimize your drives for the operating system.
 

And it will be the same for M2 as well when it comes out.
 
5 years ago: ARM CPUs are never going to be a thing ever in desktops! Apple would be stupid and it would be their death sentence (and keep in mind this was the time when Intel had 8-10% improvement in perf each gen).
2 years ago at Apple Silicon announcement: LTT making fun on Apple Silicon calling it "ASS" and that Rosetta was never going to work. Apple was going to lose a lot of customers and devs
2 years ago before embargo: M1 presentation claims are wild and non-believable. They're just stuffing iPad chips on Macs. And that is definitely bad case since graphs weren't labelled
0.5 years ago: M1 Pro and Max: Basically the same complains about graphs and deflecting the conversation completely away from their impressive chips to the notch
 
On the phones side of things, its been well known how A series have been way ahead of the competition for many many years, but then the haters change positions and keep saying "Why wOULd aNyOne NeED ThAT kInD of PeRFoRMance?" - Well, shithead - a lot of onboard ML, AI, image processing, video processing require more and more performance and generally, as a tech enthusiast, you should not ever be complaining about hardwares becoming more powerful and efficient.
 
And we have now. I'm not saying M1 Ultra is going to be the best shit to exist. It may not be, and we need to get it on independent reviewers before we come to that conclusion but given their extensive track record till now, it will be close to the top and irritates me how Apple doesn't get enough recognition from "tech nerds" group who can actually admire the engineering marvel they did because "brrr APple evil". But would happily pounce on them for literally the smallest thing (I remember seeing people on this forum discrediting Apple's donation for hurricane relief as marketing move and something with ulterior motive)

Man this is so fun. 😄 
 
Currently exactly the same thing is happening with this GB, on PC-centric internet forums, that happened when OG M1 was released. 
 
A lot of denial, a lot of excuses. 
 
Man give it to Apple that they once again made tech forum debates interesting. 

If miners get interest in Mac Studio: Hello $3,2 trillion market cap for Apple. 

If it's anywhere close, $4000-$5000 for a whole system with RTX 3080/3090 level graphics, versus $4000 for just the Threadripper chip alone without any system to support it, looks like Apple built a bargain. (Not for all use cases, but for many.) 

I switch between a (admittedly cheap) mech keyboard and magic keyboard at home depending on which machine I’m using, both have things that I like about them, and not a lot that I don’t. 
 
I can definitely appreciate why people prefer mechanical.
 
TouchID on the Track Pad would look weird but would definitely be way more versatile.
