At what parameter count? Its been established that quantization has less of an effect on larger models. By the time you are at 70B quantization to 4 bits basically is negligible

I never thought people would be upscaling models by increasing quantization precision. The rationale makes sense bit its also a goofy outcome.

Your comment got downvoted (probably because MAD as the only remaining option is strong hyperbole) but the core thrust is sensible. Knowing that a CEO is not going to leave isn't the only relevant factor in discussing increasing CEO co

Increasing the share price by 10x and turning the Model 3 into the worlds best selling vehicle is hardly "leaving the shell to its own demise" *edit: Model Y

Yes I did, and I don't see sound justification for the ruling. The judge says the compensation was biased, rather than providing justification for establishing that there was too much compensation. The judge provided a sensational quot

The gap between Meta and other proprietary ai ecosystems (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) is pretty large. Meta necessarily is only as far behind as open source as a whole is behind. If open source catches up, Meta can ride the tailwind and also

Isn't the reject ratio typically closer to 75%? At least, my filter at home has a reject ratio of 75%, which means the wastewater is only ~33% more ppm than the starting water.

Honestly backwards compatibility in rust is already half-assed anyway. Trying to use a fixed version of the compiler (important in some contexts such as security software) is a huge pain in the ass.
