Encoder in the T5 sense doesn't produce a fixed vector, it produces one encoded vector for every step of input and all of that is given to the decoder. The only difference between encoder/decoder and decoder-only is masking: In an

You are missing the speech decoding part. I can't speak to why the clients you were working on were doing what they were doing. For a different reference point see the cloud streaming api. This is a good public reference: https:/

This is exactly what Google ASR does. Give it a try and watch how the results flow back to you, it certainly is not waiting for VAD segment breaking. I should know. Streaming used to be something people cared about more. VAD is always part

It is not streaming in the way people normally use this term. It's a fuzzy notion but typically streaming means something encompassing: - Processing and emitting results on something closer to word by word level - Allowing partial resu

Streaming for TTS doesn't matter but for speech to text it is more meaningful in interactive cases. In that case the user's speech is arriving in real time and streaming can mean a couple levels of things: - Overlap compute with t

Unfortunately it's not, this is some supplementary video. The full thing is 44 minutes long and covers a lot of different angles. The ongoing story about the Czech Xenon clinic in it that he covers over a longer time period is especial

The Xenon episode of Hamilton's Pharmacopeia is one of the very best episodes of that series, I don't know the best way to find it on streaming currently, it was available I believe on Netflix (or maybe it was Hulu?): https:&#x2F

You asked "why would someone hide prep", you got one example. It is by no means an exhaustive list. For example, a big fear is being perceived as having HIV (since prep drugs are also part of HIV treatment). If you do actually hav

"the men are forced to confront the fact..." No they aren't, they simply never confront it. People go to their graves denying that they have HIV, denying that they ever tested positive, denying that a positive HIV test has a

This injection isn't a vaccine, it's an anti-viral drug being used as pre-exposure prophylaxis. The first approval of this approach was in 2012, but using an oral pill with a short half-life taken daily. That drug is still in use

No, not exactly. "the era of sending excess rooftop solar generation to the grid is over" is the OP's statement I disagree with. "They can't take any more solar input", yes they can, by adding more grid battery

If you look at that graph for a whole day you will see a huge kick-in of power company owned battery storage in the evening. There is no reason the grid cannot operate batteries at scale to absorb excess rooftop generation. NYT: https:&#x2

Literally not being at home to eat home made food is obviously a case where other factors dominate. However, I really don't think that's the general case people are thinking of when trying to argue that it makes some kind of econo

I used for cost comparison a pre-formed hamburger patty from Safeway. If it takes you more than 10 minutes to pull this from fridge, heat a pan and fry, something is wrong. You put it on a bun and put things on it and you eat it. There is n

How long do you think it takes to grill a hamburger patty? To your second point: This is where exact apples to apples comparison breaks down. The sane home cook skips deep frying at home and associated hassles unless it's a special occ

2 lb of ground beef is way more beef than a happy meal. A kids meal patty is only 1/10 of a lb, you've given enough for 20 kids meals. The rest of your numbers are similarly off: - you are giving each happy meal 1.25 lbs of potato
