This is true, but to make the most of them, you really need to be training an architecture, or doing inference on an architecture that was designed from scratch to leverage the TPU's capabilities.
NVDA and Google have inherently different design goals. NVDA wants something that is flexible for everyone, so they do titled matrix multiplication for example, on 8x8 matrix multipliers. Google is like nah fam, we like our big chonky matrices, 256x256 or go home.
Which means that for specific things, Googles TPU's are actually quite a bit faster and more energy efficient. But those things are basically limited to internal google projects like everything their DeepMind division does with RL.
It's still curious that Google hasn't seen the 4 trillion dollar elephant in the room without any real competitors, and been like hey, why don't we start selling these things?
They seem to be betting that they are going to win the AI war, and the architectures that will win are going to be the architectures that require a design philosophy more aligned with the TPU, then the jack of all trade approach of NVDA.
People keep talking about perpetual bubbles and the market being irrational and all but...
Is this just normal and expected given the rise of passive index investing?
IVV and VOO and the like are some of the biggest funds now. And because of it, normal market mechanics like "price discovery" aren't as impactful as they used to be because so many people "buy the whole index" no matter what.
Sure, there might be big short term movements like on Liberation Day.or during COVID, but both were relatively short and neither were catastrophic. Extended duration down markets might not be feasible anymore.
What I'm saying is Bears might be going extinct. Jack Bogle killed them.
Post your lifetime oof list:
- Had the holy trio of Pokemon cards as a kid (holographic Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur, the Blastoise/Venu being first editions). Traded the Charizard/Blastoise for a Tiger Game.Com console.
- Learned HTML and graphic/webpage design for Myspace/Geocities; didn't do jack shit with it during the social media web boom
- Was around bitcoin when they still were giving away for free through faucets. Spent around 70 bitcoin on weed/molly/acid during the Silk Road days, and left the change (which would equate to hundreds of thousands now) in random burner wallets.
- Interviewed for Tesla in 2015, blew it off because I didn't want to move
- Built a reasonably large gaming community (1000+ members) before Twitch was a thing, washed my hands of it due to internal leadership drama
- Dated a real estate agent that stripped on the side during the housing crisis, didn't marry her
