If the LLM had an affordable model it would always generate enough tokens for the task at hand. The fact that this particular method would require more tokens would be irrelevant. If you don't have an affordable model, then you would always be at the mercy of the LLM being biased towards answering with an estimate instead of the actual answer.

Also, most speculative decoding strategies produce identical output compared to running the model sequentially. If the prediction is wrong, the token gets discarded and the speedup is lost.
Previews only use the HMTL head - to get OG metadata - and usually an image.

Never thought about this before. One of my sites is (a single-page application) 45k HTML and 40k image. Hence about 50% of what is served for previews is wasted.

It would be nice if there was a way to recognise an "only html head needed" type of request. Don't think there is?

I get your point, but the author is proposing that Europeans loose their working rights or start working 70 hours a week.

I think the biggest suggestion is that the EU should standardize their legislation for creating and keeping a company. That (I think, but I'd love to hear arguments against it) shouldn't involve or be correlated with becoming more crappy capitalism like the USA (less working rights, weird health industry, etc)
No, it isn't, at least on OpenAI tokenizer.
The charger standard is CCS. It was always open.

What's happening in North America is that everyone will use CCS with Tesla's plug on the end. It's CCS type 3.

Older Teslas will need a retrofit to be able to talk CCS. Tesla chargers will still support Tesla's now dead protocol.

> the bigger problem of language still remains

Also culture and regulations. For example Austria and Germany, Netherlands and Belgium, might share borders and the same languages between the pairs but having different regulations in certain areas, meaning that starting a company in one country might be difficult to expand in the other due to a difference in regulations which is usually by design born out of local protectionism.

Contrary to the US, EU is not a united country, but a collaboration of fiefdoms with often diverging interests, where every one of them wants to be king and won't hesitate to sabotage other members for their own gain, even if it holds everyone back. This high level of internal squabbling and fragmentation is ultimately what keeps EU unable to scale businesses of any kind, not just tech, as easily and as fast as in the US.

What many founders do, if you're developing a SW product in the EU, is forget the EU market altogether and launch directly to customers in the US, and only when you succeeded there and made your money, you can afford to break into the EU fragmentation and expand locally. Sounds counter-intuitive but that's the reality for many product based EU start-ups that want to succeed, like Spotify for example. Why do you think Apple only launched the VP in the US and nowhere else?

In fact, monetary incentive are one of the least efficient way to motivate workers once they are past subsistence level. (Sure you can make sure that everyone starts their work life with a six digit credit for their studies and then need to take another, even bigger, one for housing so that they can never go past subsistence level, but that's no a recipe for healthy society… And that's not how the US worked in its golden age either).
What truck?
Low-end jobs aren’t non-existent. The EU still has people working at fast food joints. But the EU mandates paying those people a reasonable amount of money. The US is much more guilty of forcing people in low-end jobs to require government handouts despite being employed.

Anyone working in a full time job of any sort should be able to live without government assistance. The EU’s labour laws come much closer to that than American laws do.

Provided you have a job and a job that pays well enough to be able to afford a decent life. All this rhetoric about european health insurance and job security is good but it is good today. Will it be good tomorrow? unlikely, as the EU faces the same demographic crisis as most of the developed world. Mind you, i'm not advocating for US-style free markets running amok and turning healthcare into a for-profit service but there is a good argument to be made about certain positives of the USA's economic structures.

Remember, when the chips are down, you cannot eat the architecture or social services in europe. Those things cannot be exchanged for money.

I’ve worked on systems that manage risk, and we had two pieces:

- A statistical model for probability of default
- A rule-based model implementing a policy, taking into account the probability and other signals not captured in the probability

Not everything could be incorporated into the probability, so this was a nice way of having a hand-crafted decision tree. Also, we could tune it eventually, much easier than training and validating a new statistical model.
I worked on a project with an e-commerce company a few months back. They use autoscaling in their Kubernetes cluster to account for high load during peak hours (generally noon until 7PM or so). It would go to 10-ish instances of 2 apps during this peak, and then during the non-peak times it'd drop back down to 2 instanches.

This is pretty significant, since the 2 different apps are relatively large JVM apps, each requiring ~16GiB of memory
Fired means the role will be backfilled, and the employee was let go for performance reasons or whatever else.

Laid off means the role won’t be backfilled. It could also mean the role was renamed, and they wanted to let the employee go but it looks better for everyone to say it was a layoff.

Let go (at least to me) could mean either.

Better overlap with timezones -- Mexico City is on Central Time, and it's not hard to open a shop in Baja for Pacific Time -- and you also have access to the NAFTA TN Visa if you want to bring people across the border; no H1B visas headaches.
Because real world performance is about the same across the board between various 13B models, GPT-3.5 and 4, DeepL, and Google Translate, while computational cost wildly varies.

It's kind of interesting/odd that GPT translations are sometimes lauded as significantly more accurate, I think it's just that GPTs are just dropping what won't work in English to better adhere the language, and therefore there are less to be confused about.
"In a fast-moving and competitive satellite communication industry, we, who cannot move nearly as fast and are therefore no longer competitive, hope that this will somehow make us look like we're still relevant."

OK, that's a very cynical take. But Starlink is revolutionizing the business, and historically, merging is what the dinosaur companies often do after the revolution hits. Think of the mergers between Unix workstation vendors as the PC was revolutionizing computing.

Merging lets you get bigger. But in a revolutionary environment, faster wins, bigger doesn't. Merging is therefore a useless response. (In fact, it's worse than useless, because it slows you down.)

It kind of depends on which countries you're talking about.

But what about Pakistan? Or Israel? There are several nuclear powers who would have a hard time devastating a single country, not to mention the entire world.

Sure, Supreme Court volatility opens that up. The last time his Chairmanship was under threat it was unclear if he could be removed by Trump simply because Trump wanted to so it would require the usual "Do the thing", get sued, take it to the Supreme Court. Such actions aren't instant even for the President, especially if he is busy having them settle his other matters he wants to bring to them.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/does-the-president-have-le...

Also, removing Powell doesn't let any president put someone in who will set whatever rate they want. It must be a member of the Board, of which two are his nominees from his term. They also don't have to listen to him.

When it comes to setting rates, Powell is chairman, not supreme leader. The FOMC sets rates and that is a group of twelve.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fomc.asp

Given Trump wouldn't see sworn in until 2025 and would have the usual problems of any new President rather than the benefit of a second term, and as Powell was confirmed in 2022, under current case law, Trump at best simply gets to nominate a new chair a number of months before he'd do so in 2026.

Powell's single 14 year term on Fed board ends in 2028 so there will be a new Chair no matter what after that.

While from a Political standpoint, I don't like what he may do, I am ok with how this is setup. This is not as easy as simply replacing his cabinet members and that is a good thing.

A huge challenge in general is that a vast majority of us, myself included, only get fed headlines online and assume we know the whole story. I try to caveat it with "if this is true, ..." to try and help control that unknown.

For some use cases they're not even competitors. You can't do anything real time like a conference call, remote desktop, or gaming with GEO: 600ms latency is out of the question. MEO is marginal at 150ms.
The math adds up when you notice a couple of things:

1. The EU added Bulgaria, Romania and other new member states in 2007 that expand the population and thus markets to 440 million in the EU vs 300-something in the US.

2. Government makes money from every transaction by its residents (and companies, but for per capita metrics, we look at residents)- income, employment, purchases, etc. The US grows by immigration - but fresh immigrants usually jump into employment in lower skilled / paid jobs. However the EU with its social policies enables more women to be in the workforce due to better childcare availability and hours and allows individuals to carry less savings because of low cost healthcare and other available safety nets. Poorer people with income buy a lot more staples, food and spend a lot more of their income, boosting the local economy. Wealthier middle class is more likely to save or spend money on bigger things- from real estate to investments to education, but that doesn’t trickle into the GDP as much (education is often non-profit and real estate has capital gains rates). When more people are employed in a country - you see a bigger rise to middle class and more spending per capita and income per capita.

To raise GDP per capita, just enable more childcare and support for employment of women. However, since the US government uses unemployment of only people who became recently unemployed and are still looking for jobs instead of all unemployed, to measure all unemployment they would irreversibly damage their performance in their favorite self-improving metric, and would have to do more for their citizens.
I actually think it makes sense to look at slices of the EU since the composition of the EU has changed over time. Countries like Germany and France were at a very different level of development compared to Estonia or Poland. So it makes sense to break things out to try to account for that.

And what it says is the gap for GDP (PPP) per capita between the North/West EU versus the US hasn't narrowed since 1980. It has widened vs. South EU. All the effect seen at an EU level is from the East.

There are lots of interesting stories you can tell and lessons you can learn from these trends, but it's not a story of core EU outperforming.
Even worse is when there is a negotiating process (as everything is copied from the US), but there's no actual negotiation on your part expected.

> corporations would pay zero and use slaves if they could

Honest question: why is this absurd? Slavery has been a widespread practice in history, and it is still ongoing in some places.

Corporations exist to make money. The brute mathematics of profit require costs to be reduced. To zero, if at all possible.
