Exactly. The smaller bit widths from quantization might marginally decrease the compute required for each operation, but they do not reduce the overall volume of operations. So, the effect of quantization is generally more impactful on memo

Kanye has done this. Multiple times I believe, but notably with different versions of "The Life of Pablo" on music streaming services.

Agreed, small sample size; but in defense of the researchers, I don't think the general public appreciates how difficult it is to find research participants - nevermind a lot of them. And, ones that remain adherent to study protocol th

Lidar would increase car cost so much that most people would die of sticker shock. The strongest candidate for proving lidar AV tech is Waymo, which to me means it has a relatively low chance in the consumer space in the 2020s; and unit cos

It probably will be, just extremely computationally expensive. But 30 years is also further out than when most experts predict the singularity will arrive; after which all bets are off.

As the neighbor just moved in, I'm guessing they were unaware of your friend's liver transplant. If this was indeed the case, I find your friend's situation difficult to sympathize with. . If you did the slightest bit of digg

It's not that they didn't want to be in the business, but that manufacturers couldn't scale their own dealerships across the country fast enough. So they opened up ownership to third parties. Tesla, however, was in the unique

I'm surprised that the psychosocial intervention was as effective as it was, however I expected the nutrition arm of the trial to fare better. I guess interacting with intelligent and engaging adults as a child really has long-term dev
