I don't wear a watch for health bs. I wear a watch to tell time; the fact that it can also call my family is a bonus. Or show the current weather.

I failed at 2 times. My folding couch couldn't supply the required pressure beyond that point.

Reminds me of a new PM believing that "arabic numerals" mean arabic script instead of real every day numbers because AI told them so. Despite the entire team trying to explain it to them. Some people would just rather believe a co

If by "understand" you mean to put the hidden state of the transformer into the desired topological basins. Yes, it does "understand" them better.

10 gb per second is pretty slow for a disk. You should be seeing much higher than that.

I didn't know the US had royalty... You should consider moving to the EU if you want to do work for lords and ladies.

The problem is dram bandwidth to the cpu. Each token costs roughly 20gb of traffic and ddr5 is roughly 50-80gb/s, plus you still have to run the compute sequentially. That’s your limit.

Why quantize to int8 when k3 is int4? I could be wrong, but that’s what I remember seeing.

And to clarify -- it only applies to models, not arbitrary data. So its useful to exactly zero other fields.

I honestly don't know... I didn't train the models, so I can't tell why the math works out that way. It just does. I suspect it has to do with the fact that all the small models I've tested have been quantized. I don&#x2

We're not an AI company ... nor do we have any reason to use it. Just a fun idea that was fruitful.

704gb -> 564gb; 358 gb -> 270 gb; 28.79 gb -> 7.65 gb; 439 gb -> 93 gb It depends on the total entropy of the model. Smaller models have less entropy.

Thanks for your opinion

We have a lossless compression codec (working on open sourcing it over the next couple of weeks) that reduces it down to its minimum entropy -- it cannot be compressed further. On all tested large models, it's a ratio of 1.34-1.23 -- a

They are indeed quite challenging. We literally wrote a paper about it ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.09114 ) ... you almost describe some of our original architecture too! You might find it interesting -- or not. https:&

I’d also recommend looking at Swytch (docs.getswytch.com, particularly the economics page). Disclosure: I’m a founder.

Reminds me of a meeting I was party to with the Safari team. We worked with them on some standards stuff at an old job. They claimed to have creepy-level tracking of users back then. We were discussing how to identify users for an A/B

It’s funny because it’s just (relativistic) math. It would cost a couple hundred bucks to roll your own with no restrictions.

Never. Ever. Ever. Tell Claude you have a deadline. It will do this on every task. It will half-ass things to “get it done in time” and argue about whether or not an approach will be done “on time” because it is estimating in human hours.

Let me put it bluntly. I’m agreeing with you but saying that isn’t what I was talking about and trying to give examples. You’re also agreeing with me. The “idea” of table tennis and the rules. Those are things we can talk about. It’s those

Saying that it’s dismissive is like saying writing (insert language) is dismissive that you’re just writing assembly. at the end of the day, it presents a vector field and predicts the next vector. That’s literally the heart of intelligence

Doesn't that make sense? Its text prediction. If you give it examples, it can predict. Synthesizing "put semi-colons on new lines" requires it to generate its own examples 'in its head' (so to speak) and remember th

Bitflips are surprisingly more common than you think but rare enough to not be a concern.
