03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; @@1auq for small models you don't need Intel's big area chip that's expensive to manufacture. For example AMD's Alveo V70 or latest V80 is way better with higher performance and lower power needs. Gaudi3 is made to compete with top data center GPUs. It's like playing video games on the nVidia data center H200 ... useless.
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Probably Intel has an unsolved inventory IBM got for pennies to the dollar. But it will consume a huge power running costing lots of $$$.
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; The rest of IBM AI has been around for years. Latest Z and Power processors are supposed to have "accelerators" for AI... LOL yeah right another nothing burger from AK and failed Research division.

10:09 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>And weve already been focusing on QA for a while, so new bug reports take priority both triaging them and fixing them. Over the past few months, weve succeeded in dropping plasmashells total number of bug reports to 1022, the lowest in several years. And the number of unconfirmed bug reports is currently down to 301, the lowest since late 2015! Triaging and fixing bugs
10:09 schestowitz[TR2]; is a priority, and were promptly triaging all new Plasma new bug reports daily. Our goal is to push the number of unconfirmed bug reports under 200 by the end of September. </p>

15:03 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>The consequences of these factors is that Rust-for-Linux has become a burnout machine. My heart goes out to the developers who have been burned in this project. Its not fair. Free software is about putting in the work, its a classical do-ocracy until it isnt, and people get hurt. In spite of my critiques of the project, I recognize the talent and humanity of everyone involved,
15:03 schestowitz[TR2]; and wouldnt have wished these outcomes on them. I also have sympathy for many of the established Linux developers who didnt exactly want this on their plate but thats neither here nor there for the purpose of this post, and any of those developers and their fiefdoms who went out of their way to make life difficult for the Rust developers above and beyond what was needed to ensure technical excellence are accountable for
15:03 schestowitz[TR2]; these shitty outcomes.1 </p>

19:28 schestowitz[TR2]; If you're over 65 and a Band 10, you should be rich enough by now to not care either way. Retire or get forced out...who cares. Go touch some grass and enjoy the rest of your life.
