They are actually worth that amount if they hold them though. They are worth one 2033 dollar or 0.7 2023 dollar. 2033 dollar and 2023 dollar should be considered two different currencies. The bonds are pegged to 2033 dollars but customers

Weights are more valuable than training code in one regard. Even with the training code you may not have the dataset and reproduction requires a massive GPU cluster that few can afford.

Anyone can submit a request form and enter their email address to request access to the weights. People who have a .edu email and are involved in deep learning are likely to succeed and get a download link sent to their email.

It's fairly easy to obtain the weights. I've had two of my friends downloading these weights and sharing them with me, so it's probably not surprising that the weights got leaked.

You do need to guess things like activation functions, number of attention heads, order of attention layers, etc. Often the parameter names reveal something about these.

There is a lot of manual process involved such as writing training scripts, scarping and processing training data, choosing the best weights among several runs, and spending lots of costly computation. Maybe these should make it copyrightab

I wonder if there is a way to simulate a balloon in reverse, i.e. given its destination figure out which sources it could come from. Maybe it would just be a matter of reversing the winds and time? Would be interesting if it were doable.

How long does it take for you to download 80TB? From what I can see Google allows you to download 10TB per day but who knows when they will change that limit.

Mandarin speaker here. There are indeed different counting words for different nouns, so for a bird (鸟) you say 一只鸟 and for a chair (椅子) you say 一把椅子.

Microsoft is well known to be organized as a set of teams that hate each other. Azure and Outlook are likely two different teams. There is a famous comic for that: https://i.imgur.com/XLuaF0h.png

Check out Syncthing. I personally run two instances of syncthing, synchronization happens very fast and as long as there isn't high write volumes it syncs pretty quickly. If you don't need realtime backup, rsync'ing in a loop

Without retraining the model, you can often get a different image by generating it again or modifying the prompt slightly. Makes people wonder if changing the training set would have any bigger impact.

Many TLC drives have SLC cache so if you limit usage of the drive you may effectively use it in SLC-only mode. This does not say anything about its endurance however. If you want endurance, better mirror your data to HDD.

Bitcoin price is at $23,530 right now. Imagine Alice wants to buy 1 bitcoin and sell it a few minutes later for some profit. In that case Alice can apply a 10x leverage since it is short term, and needs only $2,400 as collateral. 10 minutes

Are all these 235 microservices necessary for the bulk of features that 99% of users are using? AWS is not the only S3 provider, nor the best, and it would be interesting to see how much engineering is involved in other S3 providers.

AWS is the worst offender. They don’t allow you to set hard limits on billing, claiming that is for your own good, while the fact is they are putting all your data on hostage so they could force sell you things at ridiculously high traffic
