Why does not the article say anything on how KV-cache is handled with in-DRAM processing? Is this trivially obvious?

We can not attribute the moral image of the protagonist to Bieber himself. He is an artist, so he is describing an experience of life, perhaps stemming from the receiving end of a fake apology. Otherwise, it is a very good and thought-provo

Right, but I thought it matters only if you sell something globally. Linux is distributed for free, so the burden of patent compliance is on the user, isn't it?

Brazil? Why a Brazilian patent is of such a significant interest elsewhere?

Mostly as a subproblem solver for mixed-integer programs, due to ease of warm-start. MIP itself is NP (B&B), so NP*NP=NP

Thanks, very interesting. Basically the authors blast high-power (~92 dBA) ultrasound around 25kHz and hope that microphone non-linearities will overwhelm the audible signal. This will sure make all the dogs in 20m radius mad. Hence the sol

Are you suggesting that holding private credit assets is relatively risk free? Equity is a risky asset, so equity being wiped out should not be a surprise to anyone, but life insurance and pension funds failures is indeed a public problem.

You probably meant to say that practically, high leverage tends to leak into companies of public interest. For example, when high net worth individuals start trimming their private credit holdings, which eventually end up with insurers. Tha

For those who stick to a meaningful asset allocation (e.g. 60/40, 80/20, etc), this does not pose significant problem -- they would not be buying much stock in the last 3 years. Instead, they would be buying mostly fixed-income. P

Right. If one lives in an area prone to malaria, has good immune system, will the body tend to carry the antibodies all the time?

No, do not stop the efforts! The story here tells us that risks of being poisoned (once the throne is obtained) are greatly exaggerated.

On the flip side, the value of new, clever and repeatable experimental results goes up when compared to regurgitated publications.
