Meta knows it can’t be the top player in this space, their best play, therefore is to control the second tier. Ironically I think they aren’t even the best in the second tier - Mistral is.

I’d much rather just pay out of pocket, but if I don’t get the “negotiated” price, it’s 2x to 3x the amount. This should be plainly illegal, but since it only affects the poor, nobody gives a shit.

A lot of people (myself included) want that, which is exactly why it’s not going to happen - Apple would much rather see you pay twice as much for an iPhone Pro Max

3 years ago basic service on my whole house AC was $450. It’s probably $600 now.

I strongly suspect my dentist is making shit up, too. I had to refuse a couple of expensive treatments. The main goal seems to be to “use up” my dental insurance more than anything.

Still far too much. This needs to be $1K tops in its base config for anyone to bother.

That’s what grandparents are for. Or at least were, in the past.

What annoys me is it’s like $100 in Europe and it’s available in a pill form there (so you could presumably easily reduce the dose and therefore the cost by breaking the pill in half). And no US insurance will cover any of it unless you hav

“Malicious compliance”, sort of like CA is now refusing to allow more launches because they don’t like Elon’s support of the candidate they don’t approve of. Democracy!

CBT is what you need, not alcohol. You need to gradually convince yourself to not fear your phobia, through small, concrete steps, reinforcement, and external, independent review. Alcohol or MJ will merely dull the symptoms. Between the two

Would this get the “Elon musk is not very bright because I don’t like his politics” crowd to finally STFU? Rhetorical question, of course not.

I’m in Shanghai right now and you can see the “geological strata” of economic development here really well. Stuff built 20-30 years ago can be pretty shoddy, but the closer you get to the present the better things look to the point where th

Boredom is the main driver of productive pursuits and creativity. That’s why the current dependence on phones and FOMO on general worries me. It is far too easy now to unproductively kill time.

I’m pretty sure getting repeatedly punched in the head would “best SSRIs” in a long term comparison too. Hasn’t the entire body of research that gave us SSRIs been exposed as fraud a couple of years ago?

Give it time. If I do another startup, I’m not even going to bother renting an office. For me the answer is pretty obvious, all work that can be remote should be remote. And the situation you’re describing can also happen on-site. I’m in th

I think _most_ of employees are not children, but some are incapable of doing work unless someone is constantly supervising them. As a rule they’re also the least productive employees in any organization, and the correct solution is to let

Let’s spin up more of these boondoggles, and also start a few more wars in the Middle East, and then also start a war with China and Iran at the same time. Lindsey Graham already has his tissues and lotion on the ready. We only owe 37 trill

This would be like saying that millions died a few months before they normally would 30-40 years later because they had higher levels of stress due to the accident. The statistical (let alone causal!) connection in such things is so tenuous

Why not billions? If you’re going to lie with statistics, might as well lie big.

And likely won’t be accepted unless it exits NATO. Sitting on that many chairs is not acceptable even if you control the Bosporus.

It’s even worse in battery constrained devices - they tend to also be memory constrained and run with batch size 1 during extend. IOW the entire model (or parts thereof, if the model is MoE), gets read for every generated token. Utilization

by ein0p 2y ago
Not even single batch. If you want reasonable latency per token (TPOT) even larger batches do not give you high compute utilization during extend. It’s only when you don’t care about TPOT at all, and your model is small enough to leave spac

More than 10x the amount of energy is spent moving bytes around. Compute efficiency is not as big of an issue as people think. It’s just that the compute is in the wrong place now - it needs to be right next to memory cells, bypassing the m

Idk how you could split it up other than right down the middle, creating 2 of each unit. 2 search engines, 2 browsers, 2 ad exchanges, 2 clouds and so on. Anything else is not going to be viable. Though maybe that’s the real goal.
