I think it's the opposite. A ridiculously expensive price tag is the only way it can be successful. If it was cheaper, more people would buy, get disappointed in this, and then give up. Because it's so expensive, it selects for zealots and forgiving early-adopters.

I'd define success as paving the way for broader investment in the ecosystem. If third-party devs start building useful workflow tools and other experiences, it can become a cult favorite. From there, re-investment in further R&D can keep this improving.

I wonder are you using a quantized version of Mistral? NVidia 3090 has 936 GB/second memory bandwidth, so 150 tokens/second = 7.2 GB per token. In the original 16 bits format, the model takes about 13GB.

Anyway, while these datacenter servers can deliver these speeds for a single session, they don’t do that because large batches result in much higher combined throughput.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm not sure how Apple could make an explicit policy for this. My theory is that they won't, but rather are going to roll out their own LLM that run locally and is optimized for on-device hardware, which non-Apple code will not be able to use. This won't make all the LLMs go away, but it will make running very unattractive since they'll be battery hungry and slow compared to the official app.
My question is what these activist investors think the fix is.

In my experience they’ll bring someone in to try to apply aggressive sales strategies to a dev tools company & it never goes well.
What does it mean to have cryptocurrency on the spacecraft, physically?

Sounds like a marketing falsehood to me.

I can't imagine what a statement like, "there was 1 bitcoin on board the spacecraft" would mean. It is nonsensical given what bitcoin is, and cryptocurrency in general.

You can have the keys printed on paper and placed onboard but that does not mean there was 1 bitcoin onboard.
Great to see this!

Was chatting with a friend recently who has some cognitive challenges and how much they struggled using their phone.

I imagined surely there must be a ROM like the Jitterbug Smart3 that we could try, but couldn’t turn up anything.

Having a more simple interface, but also access and control of specific apps seems like a market that’s going to see a lot of growth as everyone ages.

Especially since seemingly every App or OS gets more half baked features or unasked for redesigns semi-regularly. Not to mention finding the answers on how to use anything is becoming more difficult also (Google SEO, AI, etc).
I like that description very much. It's a bit wordy so don't exactly fault Apple for not using it in marketing materials. But I do prefer it for more general use and might steal that!

How to Combat Decision Fatigue
When you can sell an enterprise-grade card with 40-80GB of VRAM for $50k, selling consumer cards with 24GB for $2k is almost a form of charity, by comparison.

AMD and Intel GPUs do not have the software ecosystem for AI workloads that Nvidia does, though AMD is rapidly improving. Nvidia has had an effective monopoly on the AI hardware space for the last year or so, and continues to have an effective near-monopoly, but that won't last forever as AMD and Intel catch up.

The VRAM is one of the largest differentiators of their cards. Sufficient VRAM allows you to run huge LLMs like 65B in-memory, which is orders of magnitudes faster than system RAM + CPU. Smaller amounts of VRAM require swapping between VRAM and system RAM and incur a major performance penalty.

Businesses are fighting to fork over $50k+/card for 40/80GB cards with the same processor as the 24GB consumer cards - it doesn't make economic sense for Nvidia to offer more on the consumer cards, lest they start cannibalizing demand for the enterprise cards.

I think you are looking too hard for a secret purpose. I think they just want to keep making bets on controlling the social network space. They see Twitter failing and it seems like a great time to try and snag the market. They use ActivityPub as a selling point and Instagram users as an existing network and hope to replace Twitter. Instagram still seems pretty popular but they are clearly missing some part of the market with a text-based network so they are both expanding and diversifying. Facebook is already circling the drain (although it will probably be circling that drain for a decade) and they don't know if Instagram will continue to be popular.

I'm sure harvesting data for LLMs is a great side benefit, but if that was their main goal they would probably just run a crawler. They could even crawl ActivityPub without having their own instance if they wanted. It is a public API. They would just miss out on private posts which is probably a small fraction.
>You don't get to chose which feature has been used by the people who wrote the code you're told to fix.

True, but that's more of a sociological problem than a technical problem. It's a question of how projects and teams enforce programming styles. I do see the advantages of a language like Go where it's been designed with a minimal set of features to restrict the range of crazy things you can do. But if your project has certain constraints, like not using GC, then Go is a non-starter. The big advantage of C++ is that it's suitable for making literally any kind of software, from embedded to web applications.

For image and layer manipulation, crane is awesome - as is the underlying go-containerregistry library.

It lets you add new layers, or edit any metadata (env vars, labels, entrypoint, etc) in existing images. You can also "flatten" an image with multiple layers into a single layer. Additionally you can "rebase" an image (re-apply your changes onto a new/updated base image). It does all this directly in the registry, so no docker needed (though it's still useful for creating the original image).

If you want to get the most bang for your buck, you definitely need to run quantized versions. Yes, there are models that run in 11G, just like there are models that run in 8G, and for any other amount of VRAM - my point is that 24G is the sweet spot.
I think this is very unfair. In the few months that I was looking, I put in more than 300 hours of study. It wasn't superficial and I didn't attempt to memorize anything — I wanted to understand fundamental techniques, and put a considerable amount of effort in to doing this, treating it as if it were my job.

Nobody owes me anything but that doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to point out that this is the weakest I've ever seen the market in my decade or so of experience of it. It's very tough for those that have been laid off. Particuarly those have to support families as I did -- I am a sole earner and have two children.

You could benefit from practicing a bit of empathy and not lying to yourself that the market has merely moved back to "sanity" without gaining a bit of recent experience in it.

Is it not cartoon villainy when Israel has killed 23,000 people indiscriminately? Or Israeli real estate companies post pictures of planned beachside condos photoshopped onto rubble in Gaza? Or when Israel murdered 3 of the hostages because they assumed they were unarmed Palestinian civilians?

All of the groups in this region (and the world at large), government or not, are extremely evil and capable of unimaginable violence. You cannot pick and choose to ignore the evils of one group because it is politically beneficial. Well, you can, but that's hypocritical.

The point is that if your goal is to keep the region stable, maximize your influence, and minimize deaths, you have to treat everyone according to the leverage they have. Not the leverage you wish they had based on your moral judgements.

The US media overwhelmingly portrays this as Israel being picked on "for no reason" by all of the savages in the region, and this hampers people in the west's ability to look at the situation objectively.

That's why I like the "make it illegal to even ask"-type of policy. At some of these American firms they asked me things like my sexual orientation and religion, aspects you often can't infer from appearance, and that always seemed rather odd to me – I'll just have to trust it won't be used to discriminate. If I don't tell this information I know they can't.

Things like age, gender, and ethnic group are harder because you can't always conceal that. Still, "don't ask, don't tell" during the hiring process seems like the best option here.

Attention mechanism, the core of LLM, is universal enough to be brought back to standard vision models. Which is kind of ironic, since vision models were dominated by convolutions, and, the transformer is dubbed "convolution for text".

The real reason is that it doesn't deteriorate with regards to the input length in case of text, or far neighbourhood in case of vision. It's just a universal, new, building block that allows for shallower neural networks to perform more like their bigger versions

Changing that inherently takes time and money can't make it pass any faster.

> I wonder are you using a quantized version of Mistral?

Yes, we’re comparing phone performance versus datacenter GPUs. That is the discussion point I was responding to originally. That person appeared to be asking when phones are going to be faster than datacenters at running these models. Phones are not running un-quantized 7B models. I was using the 4-bit quantized models, which are close to what phones would be able to run, and a very good balance of accuracy vs speed.

> Anyway, while these datacenter servers can deliver these speeds for a single session, they don’t do that because large batches result in much higher combined throughput.

I don’t agree… batching will increase latency slightly, but it shouldn’t affect throughput for a single session much if it is done correctly. I admit it probably will have some effect, of course. The point of batching is to make use of the unused compute resources, balancing compute vs memory bandwidth better. You should still be running through the layers as fast as memory bandwidth allows, not stalling on compute by making the batch size too large. Right?

We don’t see these speeds because datacenter GPUs are running much larger models, as I have said repeatedly. Even GPT-3.5 Turbo is huge by comparison, since it is believed to be 20B parameters. It would run at about a third of the speed of Mistral. But, GPT-4 is where things get really useful, and no one knows (publicly) just how huge that is. It is definitely a lot slower than GPT-3.5, which in turn is a lot slower than Mistral.

Even with warm disk caches, interpreted languages tend to have pretty slow startup times, because they spend a lot of CPU time doing the same stuff over and over again. On my machine, the fastest of a dozen runs of just the interpreter is 66ms for Node.js (`time node -e ''`), and 14ms for CPython (`time python -c pass`). And my measurements a few years ago had overhead of about 1ms per module/file in Node.js, so if your source is spread over 100 files (which is honestly unrealistically low if you use any popular libraries and don’t bundle anything), your typical startup floor is now 200ms of CPU time, apart from disk time, on a good day. And some of those modules probably incur other costs, too.

I have no figures on PHP, though if its execution model hasn’t changed from a decade ago most of this probably won’t affect it much because it effectively didn’t even persist modules. But I don’t know.

People's Park and the Great American Infill
A common way that these work is that 1 browser does it, then if the others don't copy they appear "broken" to users.

IDK what happened in this case but it is pretty easy to imagine Chrome accidentally allowed validation against certificates in its local cache. Maybe it added some sort of validation cache to avoid rechecking revocation lists and OSCP or similar and it would use intermediates from other sites. Then people tested their site in Chrome and it seemed to work. Now Firefox seems broken if they don't support this. So they decided to implement this and do something more robust by preloading a fixed list rather than whatever happens to be in the cache.

Basically no browser wants to be the first to stop supporting this hack.
That would be a great series!
