I find 100tps unlikely, I see 13tps on an 80GB A100 for a 70B 4bit quantized model. Can you link - I am answering an email on monday where this info would be very useful!

But will the UK and France bail out Germany? Yes: if Germany acts as a serious and honest partner in defence. No: if Germany refuses to be a responsible security player and swings back to Russia as soon as it can. If Germany reopens the gas

More likely "reparations" - €500bn a year or we're coming to Berlin ! Genuinely - this is a one way bet for the Russians, smash up Estonia and extort the Germans, spend the money on more guns and then kill all the Poles. Comi

It's super interesting. There are two levels... The pZombie type level where we look at the LLM as if it were a black box and simply account for its behavior. At this level LLM's claim to have knowledge and also claim knowledge of

They don't have any concept of falsehood either, so this is very different from a human making things up with the knowledge that they may be wrong.

I wish the title wasn't so aggressively anti-tech though. The problem is that I would like to push this course at work, but doing so would be suicidal in career terms because I would be seen as negative and disruptive. So the good mess

nahh - when a distribution is very tight but with very shallow tails - I think low variance.

SE is a good example - I get a lot of help from LLM tools and I think we're learning how to use them better across realistic SDLC processes as well, but we're not replacing lots of people at the moment. On the other hand I saw a b

There's a big difference. The membership of these classes is determined in the worst case - so if there is no polynomial time solution in the worst case then it's NP. For this problem we don't care if it's possible that

It would be startling if humans could reason this way with two kilos of meat consuming 40w. Even more surprising given that we get answers in ~1s with a cross brain comms time of about 0.25s To me it's clear that human reasoning is dif
