Mac app store distribution is not that common. Some apps are available in the store or as direct downloads. The store adds the sandboxing restrictions, which dont work for many apps, eg its not very easy to install a cli.
That being said, the Storage Review one does point out PCI-E bandwidth being a limiter anyway:
> At first glance, you might deduce that the Spark allows for 400G of connectivity; unfortunately, due to PCIe limitations, the Spark is only able to provide 200G of connectivity.
The Green Party around there picked up a lot of ex Conservative votes and oppose the nuclear plant at Sizewell and pylons for renewables. Its a weird alliance.
Eh, it explains their performance EU-wide: combine the worst of both worlds.
I've mostly voted Green all my life but for the last 5 or so years I remain satisfied at their losses, as they're somehow unable to understand why people are moving away.
(My comment's a little bitter, but I do hope they figure this one out.)
From reading reviews, dont have either yet: the nvidia actually has unified memory, AMD you have to specify the allocation split. Nvidia maybe has some form of gpu partitioning so you can run multiple smaller models but no one got it working yet. The Ryzen is very different from the pro gpus and the software support wont benefit from work done there, while nvidia is same. You can play games on Ryzen.
But on the ryzen the vram allocation can be entirely dynamically allocated. I saw a review showing excellent full GPU usage during inference with the bios vram allocation set to the minimum level, using a very large model. So it's not so simple as you describe (I used to think this was the case too).
Beyond that, seems like the 395 in practice smashes the dgx spark in inference speeds for most models. I haven't seen nvfp4 comparisons yet and would be very interested to.
That's what I'm saying, in the review video I saw they allocated as little memory as possible to the GPU in the bios, then used some kind of kernel level dynamic control.
I'll pile on since these are useful. Searching for "fingers and holes" did find me some nice hand drawings, but the real gold at the national gallery to me is the Bruce Nauman. The nga.gov search knew what I wanted.
So far we dont have any industries popping up, other than battery storage. Intermittent power means unused capex some of the time which means the thing needs to be cheap. Is there a category that fits?
It's not a new industry but just time based running of water heaters and water pumps is a common usage and was doing timed usage for decades before renewables was a thing, so they just need to adjust their timings.
