Maybe, but you also have to recognize that organized crime is a system. Easier money laundering will necessarily incentivize and enable more crime.

It's not a fair comparison. Money laundering controls likely have also been implemented since the 19th century in some way shape or form. Therefore, that 2-5% figure also includes the effect of those controls. This might just the natur

The times is not really the same newspaper anymore. Fun and eye opening thought experiments: 1)find an recent article you are an expert on and critically analyze it’s content from correctness and accuracy. (Gell man amnesia effect). 2) pick

You’re describing the dump and pump strategy that china has historically used across a number of industries. Stands to reason that this is what is going on.

Totally. Also to add to that. I think (like any factory) you need to build in systems to allow you to have observe and service the machines make process changes as needed. You're the foreman/factory manager. You can optimize the f

You shouldn’t expect frontier models to work on medical imaging. There is much more that goes into building a medical imaging product. First and foremost is data. Medical imaging datasets are not prevalent one the public internet at the sca

Look into the Eigen library. They use template meta programming to chain linear algebra operations in a way that the compiler should be able to optimize memory layout and kernels for vector instructions. Might give you some ideas. https:

Ran the same query and there is a ton of stuff, but it looks like it's reasoning through the ambiguity of the sentence. It still gets the right answer. Moreover, if we consider the FLOPs expended to get to the answer, and compare that

I'm super happy with the performance, I generally run with 2 parallel slots so I only get about 128K context window. My experience with all llms is that they get more forgetful if you use the full window. (256-512K is the sweet spot fo

I forked it to also add rotorquant. This is a specific optimization that uses clifford rotors instead of static compile time random purmutation to store the activations. Reduces space and parameter count for the storage.

I got qwen3.6:27B running on my 4090 (24GB) with ~128K context leveraging some of the recent turboquant/rotorquant memory optimizations for activations. Highly suggest going up to that. the q4_xl+rotorquant combo is pretty good. Some r

Not to defend Elon, but he spent 40B on a company that dropped in value between the day of his bid and the day of closing by almost half (if i remember correctly). He tried to back out of it but then went forward by twitter at the time sued

I've liked qwen and embeddinggemma for local search. Qwen because 32K is enough to basically fit a whole page into the context window and embeddiggemma because it's crazy efficient.

When I lived in europe, RyanAir made most of it's money in the terminal. This is why every RyanAir terminal has a maze like exit from security (ikea-esque) before you get to the actual terminal. The RyanAir CEO was even quoted that he

Fair point and I don't disagree. The more meta point I would make is that airlines are still fairly capex heavy (even if there is no point-to-point infrastructure). Each incremental new route operating during standard hours still requi

Power companies are the classic example. If power companies were forced to compete, their costs + competition tend to drive them out of business. As a result most power companies are forced to operate in really tight constraints with very

This is the fallacy. These organizations no longer have any ability to “legitimize” as trust is fundamentally eroded. Leaving will simply remove any engagement with the very people they want to influence- people that are unengaged and peopl
