Exactly my thought as well. You can have all the horsepower you want but if it doesn't convert the electricity efficiently, it's not going to be useful for normal consumer cars.

I wonder if there's something we can do. A social network that penalizes misinformation and rewards expert analysis. Something like that would never be as big as general social media but maybe it could be developed for a small set of u

If companies get large enough, you no longer have a free market. You simply have a company so dominate and powerful, they can undercut any new company or product. Not on merit or offering a better product. Purely based on size and its entre

Ownership is a useful framework for sure, but if it comes at the expense of destroying competition, I think we can agree that's not healthy for the economy and society as a whole.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time a government has banned Android devices which are not licensed by Google. GrapheneOS has a list of them[1] [1] https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-gu...

They're trying to diversify their revenue so it doesn't all come from Google. All these 'self-indulgent projects' are attempts to actually make enough money to compete with a multi-trillion dollar company's resource

Yeah you're right (although, they started to open source some of that recently iirc). I meant SOTA for inference engines we can actually download and use ourselves.

> On throughput-focused benchmarks, Tokasaurus can outperform vLLM and SGLang by up to 3x+. Looks like they don't compare to TensorRT-LLM throughput numbers which, last I checked, are SOTA in open source.

I think you can blur the lines to an extent and if the judge isn't very capable, pull one over on them, but to say an LLM or ML model is not artificial intelligence to a capable judge with a prosecution who points out there is an LLM,

The court system is responsible for interpreting law so playing semantic games doesn't work very well unless you have a corrupt judge who sides with you and is willing to interpret it in this way

That was my first thought too. A cursory search indicates we would see a lot more gravitational lensing in our observations if that was the case. Found a couple of videos on it too https://youtu.be/qy8MdewY_TY https:/

Could it be that the observable universe is one of these stable local pockets and the antimatter to balance it out is simply not observable to us?

Hey Jeff, thanks for your work! Quick question for you, are you guys using Azure Speech Services or have these TTS models been trained by OpenAI from scratch?

I think the only way is to check your dataset for the benchmark leak and remove it before training, but (as you say) that's assuming an honest actor is training the LLM, going against the incentives of leaving the benchmark leak in the

Automated benchmarks are still very useful. Just less so when the LLM is trained in a way to overfit to them, which is why we have to be careful with random people and the claims they make. Human evaluation is the gold standard, but even it

I'm not so sure it's impressive even for mathematical tasks. When ChatGPT came out, there was a flood of fine-tuned LLMs claiming ChatGPT-level performance for a fraction of the size. Every single time this happened, it was mislea

I see Seedvault allows you to backup and restore app data. Are there any issues transferring app data from one device to another? Screen size, Android version, hardware, etc could all be different.

GPU cost ÷ GPU token throughput = cost per token, will get you close then you compare the cost per token between solutions. To explain how to calculate it precisely, I would have to write a blog post. There are dozens of factors that go int

How does that work? They force AOM to pay up and then I guess either AOM passes the royalty burden onto AV1 users or they take the hit and pay it themselves?

Do you think AOM is going to start charging royalties?
