Pass the generated text through some kind of quality prompt. It’s got too much filler right now. The story is interesting but it’s hard to read because it’s hard to tell which parts are meaningful and which parts are filler. E.g. “we pulled

Thank you. Useful to know. Clipped on top by reduce, I assume.

Vouched your comment. Very cool. What are you running on to get 190 tok/s? I get 400 tok/s at c=4 but c=1 is slower than you.

I run a small business ( https://technologybrother.com ) that runs a few small SaaS so I ordered the GPUs through corporate sales. If the barrier is getting an LLC, those are relatively cheap. The nice thing is that if you'v

Not “local” and not interactive coding but sharing since it might be helpful. I have 2x RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell running DeepSeek V4 Flash. I get 160 tok/s raw but it’s a reasoning model. For my use case, I have it auto-write code and an

I did not notice those. And it's my fault for not looking at the Daily Mail critically by looking one level deeper. I should know better than this since this is something I complain about, and also I am aware the DM is rarely accurate.

I don't think that's true. Supply-chain issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and response were probably a big factor - or so I've read, I'm not an expert. In any case, by 2024 (pre-DOGE), new-world screw-worm fly had b

Public health operations are hard because often when you reduce total life years lost you also redistribute the life years lost. Take the original Oral Polio Vaccine. I suspect that’s what I received as a child in India but it was also orig

Interesting story. I didn’t know about that. Looking it up, it appears to be well covered and one book Double Fold discusses it extensively. Thank you for sharing.

Quite interesting to see that measles is coming back. I suppose there is a notion of generational memory. Two generations out, people forget what the world was like. Forgetting like this on a civilizational level is probably adaptive unless

You can’t realistically make any money through work alone. Being paid for that work and being able to hold the value of that medium of exchange fully depends on the rest of us keeping an orderly society around you.

There is an argument to be made that societal structure enables much of that wealth to be made. J K Rowling can make a billion dollars not just because people want her stuff and give her money for it but because we have a system of intellec

Were you able to connect the two P150 using the qsfp-dd cable? They only sell 4x and 8x topologies so I’m curious if that worked for you. Are you able to run them tensor parallel?

That’s the cost of using a new hardware provider. A single RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Max-Q will do better than that and be much more usable. I have 2 running DS4 Flash at 160 tok/s with max num seqs 4. Very interesting though, these Tenst

A Pixel phone is a pretty neat computer. I tried a short project to turn one into a voice assistant node and then into a balcony camera to watch my plants etc. Realistically I should have rooted it and installed a full Linux etc. because yo

Pretty sad, in my opinion. In my ideal the state should have visibility into the shape of the people present so that we can make good decisions about our combined organization. I think we’re making a mistake we will come to regret by intent

As a bit of a bonus for the latter airline, you are permitted to yell "Forth Aer Lingus!" as you charge headlong towards your seat. RyanAir is ultra-budget. You need to be ready for the whole thing, but often you can get something

This is just an old engineering principle of work amplification. For an input of x you shouldn’t routinely do nx. If you do you’ll get flooded. Debounce, throttle, load shed, improve throughput and latency. Lots of solutions. Just map it to

These papers usually have poor stability to prompting and rerunning. It would be nice if we had some kind of meta-evaluation metric where rewriting the prompt conditions or varying the input params could be used to determine how stable a re
