    yeah, it’s definitely not good enough for user-facing work, but if I’m working on development for something like translations, being able to see the 70b output to compare it to other models, it’s super useful before I send it off to something that costs more money to run.

    9/10 times, the bigger model isn’t significantly better for what I’m trying to do, but it’s really nice to confirm that.






  • Well, he tried doing nothing, now he’s all out of options?

    Stock didn’t sink so at least investors and Wall Street think they’re headed in the right direction.

    The biggest problem is that any change that would come from an engineering effort is going to take many many years to even have a shot at changing anything. Speeds can’t really get much higher and they can’t seem to crack making stuff smaller. There are limits to making stuff bigger.

    Their video card division are essentially making $5 Walmart rotisserie chicken and $1.50 Costco hot dogs. They’re not fantastic, but they’re not bad and they’re extremely cheap.

    They needed to make the next big thing three or four years ago to have it on the plate by now, assuming they don’t have anything viable in their skunk works at the moment that’s a very big ship to turn around.

    So even if someone else walks in, what do they do? Fire sale inventory, put a bunch of dreamer engineers in places, hire a bunch of rock stars. Produce a new unicorn after operating for about 5 years during losses and a possible economic downturn.

    I think it’s looking pretty grim even with the subsidies and a bunch of people who know what they’re doing.



  • Intel is totally missing the boat honestly. Their mobile i9 with the built-in GPU can share DDR5 with the video card.

    You can put 96 gigs of RAM in a small form factor and load in a monster model. It’s not super fast, But it works, and it’s a lot faster than not offloading layers off the CPU.

    They should be selling nuk sized PCs with built-in graphics and 128 gigs of the fastest RAM they can put on the boards.






  • If you are properly using either of those it’s very easy to tell if someone’s not pulling their weight or is having extreme difficulty in a situation.

    As soon as someone starts underperforming in project management constructs, you put more eyes on the task. They’re either a legitimately stuck, or they’re not working.

    They’re just tools, and they make it very easy to visualize what’s going on.

    I did watch the video. Just because it’s what she said doesn’t mean that was the only thing that was there. You should also note that the MBA that designed and performed the study was also a middle school dropout, and has a bunch of narratives weaved about his life.

    This paper has an agenda and he has something to sell.
