I think it's a natural path of software life that compatibility often stands in the way of improving the API. This really does seem like a rare thing that everything speeds up without breaking compatability. If you want a fast revised

I think you can "spoof" gps satellite timestamp transmissions with single transmitter inside the train. This would require on-train equipment but typically the trains know where they are and could translate that into the required

I would consider myself adept at all three, not top 1% in either but the intersection of all 3 easily. Context I have hired hundreds of engineers and built many engineering teams from scratch to 50+, and have been doing systems administrati

I feel like, given my experience lately with all the API models currently available, that this is only a fact if the models google is using internally are SIGNIFICANTLY better than what is available publicly even on closed models. Claude 3.

Yeah mmap and leaving the caching up to the OS or storage drivers instead of model-informed placement is not going to yield the same results. Observing data access patterns, pre-empting inference data requirements and understanding hardwar

Similar but I think the apple approach here requires model modification whereas afaik OPs solution works with the model verbatim. I could be wrong as I haven't looked into the code but given the specificity of the first article regard

Yeah combining these two would make a lot of sense, there is a big appetite to run larger models - even slower - on clustered hardware. This way you can add compute to speed up the token pace vs adding it just to run the model at all. It i

Exo is for partitioning over network across devices (implementing some bandwidth-reducing partitions) but still requires a minimum ram/vram requirement to load a model. This could, in theory, be combined to allow larger models to run

I read it like this too - no drop in weights or model quality just optimizing the lower boundaries of performance when you are splitting from vram to ram to disk (or network).

I think the main advantage here is you COULD run it, even it it takes a while. That is a step up from current model limitations which require ram or vram to hold the model. I think this lays some groundwork for running a 400B model on a 3

I think if you look at a lot of funds right now, you'll notice that they're all struggling to place. It's a question of inventory and while multiples are low (naturally as parking your capital in a savings account is yieldin

Am I missing something or is this not an open model? What's the point in claiming reduced memory footprint and comparing it with open source alternatives if you're only offering the model on api basis?

I like accuweather's minutecast which is a higher resolution short-term forecast (+60 min) that is not just pulling the forecast for the nearest weather station to you. Windy(.com) premium also has a great hybrid weather radar+forecast

Generally speaking terrible advice for anyone in such a situation in a professional group setting. If you can sense that someone is tense or "off vibe" in a group meeting, you should be able to reasonably determine why. If it&#x2

Great study - I find that anecdotally 7 hours of sleep generally outperforms 8 hours in terms of cognitive function early in the day, but suffers later in the day - likely favored by "morning" people that tend to do more in the be

"trust but verify" goes a long way here, and simple management techniques like goal set and review (OKRs, etc) address the "professional fakers" issue - ironically one of the first things you should learn in formal manag

You do need to hire great people and give them room - but that doesn't mean you ignore them and let them operate their business unit like a separate organization... You need to be involved as a CEO or other key decision maker. This phi

Ultima Online in the age of dialup and early DSL was a history-altering game for MMO's. I still log on to UO Forever servers every once in a while (a modified game server with accelerated skill learning) to level up a character and sc

I find it incredibly hard to believe that ultima online was the first application of database sharding, but it may very well be the source of the name. "key-based partitioning" doesn't have the same ring to it, but has exist

No specific literature to recommend but understanding sample size and margin of error/confidence interval calculations will really help you understand a/b testing. Beyond a/b, this will help with multivariate testing as well
