“说服自己相信错误的东西” 是不是去我执？相信“自认为正确”的东西很简单，但是反面却不是那么轻松。“见人信人话，见鬼信鬼话”，八面玲弄是为了取悦别人，但是“凡事都都信了“自己就轻松了。执着也就没了

Bill Dally’s invited talk at Cornell. Bill is a senior big name in accelerator/CompArch since 1985. The talk primarily focuses on Nvidia’s efforts to enhance GPU performance, starting from Kepler in the early 2000s and extending to the recent Hopper H200, which includes improvements in low-precision and sparsity support. In addition to the technical aspects, an intriguing comment he made about AI caught my attention. It directly echoes Rich Sutton’s “Bitter Lessons” blog, emphasizing that AI model architectures remain simple, much like they were 50 years ago; the only significant change lies in the increased compute power at our disposal, making it possible for us to stack deeper layers. Modern hardware enables LLM-like Bayesian-based AI models to more effectively approximate the true distribution of the world.

Watched the final chapter of Attack on Titan (AOT) in double speed. Setting aside the emotional parts, there are a few things that left a deep impression on me. Firstly, the counterattack against nihilism: humans are just a material entity with the attribute of ‘procreation,’ and the so-called freedom is false. The cyclic nature of the game is repetitive and meaningless, yet the process of existence brings joy. However, this sense of small happiness, or existentialism, is merely shifting the center of coordinates from the universe to oneself. Another thing is conflict. Strife and combat exist among all living beings, so the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT) is a false proposition. Even if humans disappear, other life forms will continue to engage in conflict and destruction. Heroes may step forward to bring an end to war, but war itself will not cease.
