Depends on what your usecase is. For the normal user that just wants something across languages, the minilm-paraphrase-multilingual in the OP library is great. Of you want better than that (either bigger model, or specifically for a subset

You should basically never use the openAI embeddings. There isn't a single usecase where they're better than the free models, and they're slower, needlessly large, and outrageously expensive for what they are.

The transformer models handle multilingual directly. For good old embedding models (eg. GLoVe), you have a few choices: 1. LASER as you mentioned. The performance tends to suck though. 2. Language prediction + one embedding model per suppor

Ah, classic mistake here. If bargaining power is asymmetric between the insurer and the buyer, then the extra information is used for additional price discrimination (eg. Its better for you if the picture is never taken regardless who you a

Thats exactly the problem with insurance. If I have any sort of risk mitigation (file backup, fire alarms, spare tire, a generator, whatever) I can test that it works periodically. So I know I'm actually safe for the event. For insuran

Luckily for us both the Nintendo switch and the iPhone run ARM64, so you don't need a JIT to run yuzu/ryujinx on a phone! The bad news is that yuzus team is disbanded and never got the moltenVK backend done. And Ryujinx never got

Besides the point, but Medium.com is not the answer if you want to publish text on the internet. As for the article he's not proposing anything better. Most of the gripes he has against IAC have nothing to do with the fact that your co

Boy if iCloud defaults annoy you, wait until you see recent versions of Windows. By default they put your entire desktop folder, documents folder, etc. as children folders of the OneDrive folder now. It's absolutely infuriating

Look, if you're in the field and having a bunch of SD cards and drives, that's cool. As long as you back your stuff up correctly at some point. The pile of drives can be part of your 3-2-1 if you want. Retrieval is also terrible w

Each new version of old things in windows increase latency. CMD.exe is still their fastest terminal (even though it sucks on anything else).

Wtf! I've never known that! Of course I have anyone connecting to SMB://fileserver to make it convenient and stable across router reboots. I didn't expect naming it to be an issue.

MacOS in generally is very buggy around SMB in my experience. Windows and Linux don't have these issues. Only android file apps in my experience are as buggy around SMB shares. My macbook often disconnects randomly from my SMB fileserv

You can already use intel GPUs (both ARC and iGPUS) with llama.cpp on a bunch of backends: - SYCL [1] - Vulkan - OpenCL I don't own the hardware, but I imagine SYCL is more performant for ARC , because it's the one intel is pushin

Intel is historically really good at the software side, though. For all their hardware research hiccups in the last 10 years, they've been delivering on open source machine learning libraries. It's apparently the same on driver im

In theory, yes. In practice, OpenCL became a giant mess. Some vendors put speed bumps by not supporting the transition from 2 to 3, or having shitty drivers for it. It also sat at the wrong level of abstraction for high performance compute,
