A 3x price difference means you can get 3 256GB mac studios which you can connect through thunderbolt and with RDMA a total of 768GB ram with compute/memory bandwidth scaling basically linearly (with a small overhead cost).

Except for the prices of course, where they use “starting at 5,499$” instead of “up to 18,299$” to indicate user options.

This is my impression also, there is usually explicit "only customers" where there are genuine problems (overtouristic etc) or where the boss is just weird (even though you may be still told off even without a only-customers sign

When big companies have the resources to lobby and pass regulations (EU or country wide level) it is hard to separate these two, in particular when there are long-lasting policies that consistently disadvantage smaller entrepreneurs/sm

The fact that these clothes tend to be in the category of "doesn't last or made of plastic" (plus low human labour costs) is what makes them cheap enough to be possible for people to order/buy them in as large quantities

"EU" is too broad of a term to describe cultural/social/political norms such as public toilets. There are places in the EU with fairly decent toilets, and others with almost none. In some you have to pay in many public t

Homeless heroin addicts who inject themselves in public are not uniformly distributed. Thus while in some places you would expect some such injectable drug use in a public toilet (though I doubt most would bother to go find a toilet for tha

With qwen 27b, setting the right reasoning effort for the specific task is important. With xhigh it has a chance at hard problems that bigger models may even fail. But for many everyday tasks, I have found that no reasoning and a system pro

Due to that image, I immediately copy pasted it to pangram before reading the author's note. Interestingly enough it marked it all as AI generated that has "been paraphrased or rewritten". I am not sure I trust that though,

They could just have no "featured image"? Quasi-irrelevant featured images where already bad before AI, AI-generated ones are just 10x worse. Anyway, it is their piece, their website, so they choose how to structure it. I just don

I often try 2 different models with the same prompt in case one misses anything. But most of the times I do not see much difference. Newer models do not seem to improve search that much, so I do not think you have to stress too much about n

Dongles are indeed not perceivably different than wired in principle. However, you may have more latency variability, or even unstable connectivity, depending on what adjacent usb ports are doing, due to interference [0]. I have had cases w

I also believed that, but seeing qwen 27b overengineering solutions in a bit too familiar way in the article, I started doubting that.

Good thing that in our universe L-glucose seems to act as a laxative, so there is less of an incentive to mass-produce that for dieting purposes.

I assume it is due to machine translation? I do not see mentions of "failure" at all, which would be expected to exist if it was to increase variety. I think (heard) some used to translate an article back and forth a few times to

On the other hand, a motor you can strap can also be unstrapped, and then you can use the bike as a normal bike. When you have an electric bike, it is usually too heavy to work comfortable without battery (ime). I am not sure if this is eno

I have found that q8 kv quantisation is really bad in anything requiring some kind of literal retrieval even at relatively shorter contexts (5-10k). Eg it would mess up names, titles of papers etc that were deeper in the context.
