Conversely: in humans, intelligence is inversely correlated with crime.

It doesn't go to zero, however!

Hopper had 60 TF FP64, Blackwell has 45 TF, and Rubin has 33 TF.

It is pretty clear that Nvidia is sunsetting FP64 support, and they are selling a story that no serious computational scientist I know believes, namely that you can use low precision operations to emulate higher precision.

See for example, https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/18/nvidia_fp64_emulation...

It seems the emulation approach is slower, has more errors, and doesn't apply to FP64 vector, only matrix operations.

How can someone say "the world is in peril" and not be sounding the alarm? Shouldn't they be calling for action across society?!?

That's a surprisingly large overhead. I've not measured that large an impact on AMD, particularly for compute heavy.

Did you profile at all? And have you observed if it's not compute-bound? If it's memory or IO bound it can be due to other virtualization overheads, such as memory encryption.
