I mean it‘s like the 10th time I‘m reading about THE breakthrough in Chinese chip production on Lemmy so lets just say I‘m not holding my breath LoL.

But it only does 16x16 matrix inversion.

Here's the paper published in Nature.

However, it's worth noting that Nature has had to retract studies before:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_(journal)#Retractions

From 2000 to 2001, a series of five fraudulent papers by Jan Hendrik Schön was published in Nature. The papers, about semiconductors, were revealed to contain falsified data and other scientific fraud. In 2003, Nature retracted the papers. The Schön scandal was not limited to Nature; other prominent journals, such as Science and Physical Review, also retracted papers by Schön.

Not saying that we shouldn't trust anything published in scientific journals, but yes, we should wait until more studies that replicate these results exist before jumping to conclusions.

I would imagine there's a kernel of truth to it. It's probably correct, but for one rarely used operation, or something like that. It's not a total revolution. It's something that could be included to speed up a very particular task. Like GPUs are much better at matrix math than the CPU, so we often have that in addition to the CPU, which can handle all tasks, but isn't as fast for those particular ones.

They’re real, but they aren’t general purpose and lack precision. It’s just analog.

coming from china, more like 1 -off bs, with nothing to backup on.

It's a weird damn lie if it is.

And the death of the American economy if it isn't, fingers crossed.
