Looking at that paper, they appear to be saying that 6.7B is where the problem becomes so intense that no single quantization method can keep up. From what I gather, the paper claims that such outliers start occur down to 125M param models,

It doesn't need to be two huge models. If there is an advantage to doing this, I'd expect that you would see it even in a small test case. I'm sure we'll see something by the end of the week if not earlier if there'

The important and popular ones are absolutely available, but those are usually important because they have entered the realm of "common knowledge," at least in a particular sub-field. These are going to be at the top of the list

I think this problem comes down to two core issues: discoverability and terminology. You're going to be lucky if a paper from the 70s or 80s is available in a searchable database at all. That means someone bothered to scan it in, and O

That really depends on quite a few other factors: how big is the team? What development methodology do they use? Does the leadership understand how to manage and direct a rewrite? Are there people that understand the full scale and scope of

10 years isn't really all that much, is it? From my experience that's around how long it takes for developers to get a big head about how much they know, but 5 years less than what it takes to learn to respect how much they actual

Just looking around, general available figures for public internet (as opposed to tor) suggest that anywhere between 0.1% to 1.0% of users have JS disabled. These numbers have also been consistently going down over time. That's a fairl

Was Zen 2017? Last I saw had it dropping in October of 2016. I actually decided to hold off on an upgrade for it.

I took a look at the website you linked at the bottom of your post. The first thing I noticed is that most of the front-page articles are testimonials. Fortunately there was an article written by the author right at the start, however as so

I feel a major problem with mathematical proofs is that the language of these proofs is so complex that in order to understand what it even says you have to be extremely smart, and willing to put in a huge amount of time in the first place.

I wouldn't say he's describing "adding another system to the mix," at least not in a traditional sense; it's more along the lines of two distinct systems working towards a similar goal. What he described is an auditing system with some part

While that is a perfectly reasonable solution to the minimal example I provided, there may be reasons to abstract away the concept. Personally, I like having some sort of structure in memory that allows me to access and query contextual inf

I think a lot of people use the "self-documenting" excuse without knowing what "self-documenting" really is, and what it brings to the table. Self-documenting code is a good fit for a reasonably small and straight forward function. If you h

This has always been a pet peeve of mine with projects like rails. Usually when I work on a piece of the system I'll be working on a single component, be it user, product, report or whatever. That means I will either have a bunch of differe

Having multiple modes of work is critical in the field. It's an unfortunate reality that the theoretical complexity of programming projects is limitless. Unfortunately that means you simply can not have sufficient resources to do things cor

I'm not suggesting they should have broken up all the teams and made new ones. There are much smarter ways to merge teams that involve gradually easing them together. However, having five teams in the company doing nearly identical things i

From my perspective, AMD really screwed up the AMD/ATI merger in the worst way possible. When AMD bought ATI they were well positioned to beat everyone to market to release their APU chip. However, the problems started almost immediately wh

If your memory usage and gc speed are of critical concern, then you should really know that ruby is just not going to provide the tools you need to handle that. That's like using a hammer when you need a screwdriver. Even the most modifiabl

I would venture to say the triviality of writing hybrid code is a function of how often you have done something similar, and how well you understand the underlying principles. This is really the case with any software problem. Ruby provides

From Wikipedia: "There are over 67,000 subreddits to peruse, with the default set being (as of October 18, 2011[4])." I could not find a specific number for the admin staff, but given the fact that wiki lists 11 staff members for reddit tha

Casual gamers are driven by trends and early adopters. A lot of these people know what Kinect is because their "nerd friend Alphonso" won't stop talking about how cool it is. Don't knock the early adopter crowd just because they are small;

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that when most people think of a DS, or any other Nintendo product, the Nintendo properties are the first thing on their minds. If you are getting a DS you probably want to play Mario,
