I didn't realize the market was so fragile and needed conservatives to control it so closely. You learn something new every day!
Yeah, it's not that I like this state of affairs, but right now the vendor lock-in is so one-sided that it's hard to say there's a viable alternative to CUDA. I hope that changes one day.
The completely different software stack is a killer. It's not that you can't find versions of a model to run, but almost everything that hits the GPU for compute is going to be targeting CUDA, not RocM. From a compatibility standpoint alone this killed AMD for me. I just do not want to spend my time fighting the stack to get these models running.
The Lifeline program is still available. The way they explain it is confusing, but the "discount" covers the complete cost of service for most Lifeline providers, so it works out to free. You just need to be receiving any federal public assistance -- Medicaid, food stamps, TANF, anything.
ACP was more of a broadband program with phone service attached, Lifeline is more of a phone program with some data attached. If you happen to have an unlocked phone, many lifeline carriers support bringing your own device to some extent.
Bet a killer feature for this would be pluggable recommendation algorithms.
EDIT; Clarity
It never went away.
They're probably going to find themselves having to explain what it means that a social media platform is itself engaged in speech, instead of functioning as a platform for others to speak. TikTok users, whose voices are allegedly curtailed by the ban, aren't exactly prevented from going to another platform.
If they say that it's Tiktok's speech that's curtailed, they're going to have to explain carefully how they're not a foreign influence operation.
The language of the first amendment is pretty stark, but the courts have always understood it has various limits.
Somebody's gonna make a federated TikTok, aren't they? We're gonna have TikTokers flooding the Fediverse. We're so fucked.
The ENIAC drew 174 kilowatts and weighed 30 tons. ENIAC drew this 174 kilowatts to achieve a few hundred-few thousand operations per second, while an iPhone 4 can handle 2 billion operations a second and draws maybe 1.5w under heavy load.
Like, yeah, obviously, the tech is inefficient right now, it's just getting off the ground.
