I'm fine with the way this thread has gone so far. Some engine stuff, some Apple discussion. I was all set to get new apple with the m1 and then the more I thought about , the more of pain it would be for me and how I would want to use it. New chip, new OS , being an early adopter here could be a ro...

GPUs are also getting more powerful. Every 6 months or so, there will be a new crop, much more powerful than the previous. I think the real problem with the LC0 approach right now is the miners who are hoarding the GPU cards. It ramps up the price to sky-high and makes it hard for people to get the...

Aren't these 600+ Mnps obvious fakes? CCC has 300.190.737 for dual EPYC 256 threads. Reminds me about Rybka and Houdini fake nodes .
