If any of the open source WYSIWYG Markdown editors can be brought into a VS Code extension, would be amazing. (I've tried the existing VS Code Marketplace extensions and they're pretty terrible.)

This seems very impressive. I'm not sure they had any option for a non-parachute landing site.

Nice! https://github.com/enso-org/enso is related as a modern visual lang. Is Flyde entirely focused on TypeScript? Python would be a logical fit too.

Now that the models are multimodal, you can do it with images (e.g. white text on a white background) too.

I think the answer's in the original question: the provider has to pay for extra storage to cache the model state at the prompt you're asking to snapshot. But it's not necessarily a net increase in costs for the provider, bec

Possible? Yes. Unusably slow? Also yes. (You can rent a server with two 3090s for around $1/hour, or buy two used 3090s for around $1700.)

You could already run Mixtral on the more expensive single consumer GPUs (with 24GB VRAM) before this paper, at e.g. 3-bits per weight.

You need all of the model in RAM to perform the matmult that gets you the next token from it. There's no shortcut.

An analogy that works without having to explain anything at all about how LLMs actually work (or maybe does explain a lot, depending on how you look at it) could be: * LLMs are lossy compression functions on their training data. * The size

It says "license: apache 2" on the page. Do you mean the license for the training set? You technically wouldn't need to even have a copy of that training set to use these model weights.

"You have to get an export license if you're distributing from inside the US to outside the US" is pretty different to "sending encrypted emails was illegal", no? For one thing, it sounds like sending wasn't

There is no single answer, mostly a lot of strengths and weaknesses around which formats you can use on your specific hardware / amount of VRAM / if you want to ue multiple GPUs, whether they are exact same GPU or not / etc.

cpubenchmark score would be much more useful than GHz, when comparing CPUs across 10+ years of generations. It doesn't look like you have EPYCs listed, or Threadripper? (These are some of the best CPU deals on eBay.)

I don't understand. You're saying that the purpose of cockpit voice recorders is not to improve aviation safety via allowing a thorough investigation of accidents? If there is any other purpose, I don't know what it would be.

I don't understand. Are you implying that recording a pilot's voice for more than two hours could kill someone? Or just that aviation is stressful and high stakes? (I agree that it's stressful and high stakes, which is why we

I (person who blamed the pilots union above) actually like unions. I could probably even say good things about pilot unions; I would say that part of the reason US airlines have fewer accidents than some other wealthy countries is the effec

That document is an in-progress proposal to amend a rule, no? I think there was strong opposition to this rule before this accident flight, and the blowback from the missing data here might be strong enough to be able to get it passed anywa

The largest US pilots union opposes it on pilot privacy grounds. (To be clear, I think having an expectation of vocal privacy while you are in charge of an airliner is absurd.)

I don't like the metaphor: when I'm tired, I will be alert again later. Quantization is lossy compression: the human equivalent would be more like a traumatic brain injury affecting recall, especially of fine details. The question

This seems nitpicky. You can't appeal to the fact that something is not yet settled law during a discussion of whether it will become settled law later.

nvidia has maintained a proprietary kernel module for 20+ years. I don't think anyone thinks they're a toy.
