Open your mind. I am not saying evolution is fact or fiction, I am just saying if we all would open our minds a little instead of being so stuck on being right, and we could open our life's up to so many more possibilities.

The secret behind structured creative thinking is that it gives the brain the resources to learn how to function differently and still get to the desired destination. This won’t happen through procedures that lack a systematic approach, because our mind is hardwired to consistently use the familiar pathways of thought. Only when a change is forcefully and repeatedly induced, the ingrained structural patterns will start getting modified.
There are dozens of exercises within the lateral thinking methodology. The main objective is always the same: To alter the way in which information is interpreted.
Then using our brain to come up with ideas, workarounds, unique ideas.
Do some research, ask questions, look at the problem from different angles.
We can practice creative thinking.
But it may take a little effort.
Ask a child. We had a tsunami drill the other day at the elementary school I work at. Our beautiful school is actually called the Seaside School because it is literally right beside the China Sea on the little island of Okinawa. We look at us from one playground to roaring waves and beautiful horizons. However, sometimes those waves can be tumultuous and create a series of waves called a Tsunami. These waves could flood our school and cause danger to our students. So once a year we have a Tsunami drill and we march all 200 elementary school students up to the safer and higher ground as a way to prepare should a Tsunami ever be on our way. As I watch these students trekking the mile-long pathway up the hill to higher ground, I love how they find every stick to step on, rock to climb on, you can just see their little minds working, how can I make this more fun, what trouble can I get myself into. They are using the creative part of their brain to explore and learn about their surroundings and it is refreshing. Me I just trudge the path.
If you want something bad enough, you will find a way or you will find an excuse.
David, a scrawny shepherd boy, could have looked up at the giant Goliath and thought to himself, mmm, this may not be a good idea. I don’t have any armor, or a sword, I am not overly strong, Maybe I shouldn’t do this. All I have is a few stones and a slingshot.
But David got scrappy. He had a belief in his god and in himself and he didn’t back down when faced with insurmountable odds.
He found a clever and creative solution and won.
We all have our own blocks. The thoughts we tell ourselves why we can’t do something. We have that vision of that beautiful puzzle and think our life should look a certain way. We should do things a certain way.
We have the change the story we tell ourselves, think outside the box, get a little crappy and expand our vision of what could really happen in our life.
One of my favorite strategies I learned in my graduate program in counseling was the What if question. What if What if you fail…. What if this goes wrong, or what if that goes wrong, I can come up with solutions to all those scenarios in my head. And then I can say What if I succeed. We have to fail in order to succeed. A baby doesn’t run with its first steps.

Yeddapalli etc. This learning process was coordinated by the course facilitators of Economics.Today, AMD unveiled the world's first and fastest 7nm data center GPUs at its Next Horizon Event. The Radeon Instinct MI60 and MI50 accelerators were built to tackle the most demanding workloads, such as deep learning, high-performance computing, cloud computing and other intensive rendering applications.
The Radeon Instinct MI60 and MI50 accelerators are based on AMD's Vega 20 GPU architecture and produced under TSMC's 7nm FinFET manufacturing process. Besides AMD saying they're the first 7nm GPUs on the market, the MI60 and MI50 are also the first to exploit PCI-SIG's latest PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, which can bear up to 31.51GB/s of bandwidth.
From the outside, the Instinct MI60 and MI50 share an identical design. The accelerators measure 267mm in length and occupy two PCI slots. They rely on a passive cooling solution and don't have any cooling fans.
The MI60 is equipped with 64 supercharged compute units and 4,096 stream processors. It features a 1,800MHz peak engine clock and 32GB of HBM2 ECC (error-correcting code) memory clocked at 1GHz across a 4,096-bit memory interface. The GPU has a TDP (thermal design power) rated at 300W and draws power from a 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
The MI50 is no slacker either. It sports 60 compute units and 3,840 stream processors. The MI510 clocks in at 1,747MHz and comes with 16GB of HBM2 ECC memory operating at 1GHz across the same 4096-bit memory bus as the MI60. Like the M160, the MI50 also has a 300W TDP and relies on a combination of a 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
Both GPUs are outfitted with two Infinity Fabric Links. AMD's Infinity Fabric Link technology allows enterprise consumers to connect up to two clusters of four GPUs in a single server to achieve peer-to-peer GPU communication speeds around 200GB/s, which is up to to six times faster that of a single PCIe 3.0 interface.
AMD will launch the Instinct MI60 and MI50 accelerators on November 18. The chipmaker has yet to disclose the pricing for either model.
Hmm 60 compute units in the cut down model? That's barely cut down at all for a new process.
The amount of memory being cut down in half is more significant and works to effectively segment the two products.
But I agree - seems TSMC's 7 nm node is in good shape if AMD can get good enough yields for MI50. Of course, there are a lot of numbers left between MI25 and MI50 to introduce a yet-lower tier model in a couple of months. Maybe AMD is building up stock for those?
The main news seems to be fp64 and PCIe4.
Deep learning performance is almost a footnote. It does seem that AMD was blindsided by Nvidia's Tensor cores. That said, at least they have respectable fp64 performance to fall back on (for those HPC applications requiring it).
Anyway, I'm really suspecting 4096 is some kind of architectural ceiling to the shader count, imposed by GCN. They first reached that with 28 nm Fury, back in 2015, and have never gone beyond. This has really got to be hurting, since there's only so much you can do with clock speed. That said, on such a new process like 7 nm, perhaps it wouldn't make a lot of sense to try and go bigger.
Eh, color me
