[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why we should be worrying about scaling when the data centers that are driving demand are so inefficient. Take Java and Garbage collection. They know that it's inefficient like 30% of the hardware energy usage is just dedicated to these programming practices that are designed so they can get a foreigner that has never used a computer before to be a software engineer. They don't have to think about "memory", it's easy to program, but it's inefficient. They could get by on less hardware, but they don't. Why should we subsidize their energy needs. Brute force deep learning is the same idea. It's designed such that you don't have to know anything to run these incredibly inefficient algorithms. Why is that my problem?[/quote]
