I used to be a big keyboard enthusiast until I did a bunch of typing tests with many inexpensive keyboards. To my surprise, the data showed a statistically significant increase in my typing speed on several budget…
If AMP had stuck around, we wouldn't have the quagmire of terrible UX on news sites today. The hostility towards AMP was wholly undeserved.
The current best open weights model is probably Cohere Command-R+. The memory requirements on it are quite high, though.
Almost no one can tell a difference with today's encoders (unless the track is particularly degenerate for the encoder) but I think there is an edge case: listening over Bluetooth. When the already encoded audio is then…
No shot. Mistral Medium's outputs from API were virtually identical. Miqu really was Mistral Medium which happened to be a continued pretrain
The VRAM usage is closer to a 47B model - although only 2 experts are used at a time for inference, all experts are needed to complete it.
If you're looking for the best small model, I'd recommend using Berkeley's Starling-7B model [0]. It'll run on a lot of commodity GPUs and performs well in head-to-head comparisons against bigger models, edging out the…
I really enjoyed Zume Pizza as a product. They sometimes could get a pizza to my door within 10 minutes of me ordering.
HR reasons are more common than you'd think. There's only so much HR and legal power to go around and it sometimes is easier to plan layoffs in multiple stages, rather than go for one big one.
The *majority* of times I've taken a taxi in my life, the driver has tried to scam me. It was ridiculous. I guess I just look like an easy mark or something. It was very routine for them to turn off the meter in the…
Although there are certainly some servers with gauntlets to join, I think that's only for some really huge ones that have scaling issues. I have no issue joining a Discord for technical assistance.
I do recall that one of the features that Wealthfront had was to design their UX in a way that discouraged behaviors like frequently checking the valuations, making it annoying to make emotional transactions, etc, etc.…
AFAIK, every tool that integrates with these things apply a negative boost equal to the peak added to avoid clipping.
IIRC, Apple was already scanning iCloud server-side for CSAM [0] so I'm not sure if that excuse holds. [0] https://www.macobserver.com/analysis/apple-scans-uploaded-co...
The metrics don't really change much if you account for CO2 emissions needed for production/transportation: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/prod-cons-co2-per-capita?...
I don't think this is accurate. [0] and [1] have 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited Graphics benchmark tested on both the M1 and the 4800U in the Lenovo Yoga Slim-7-14ARE and the M1's GPU stomps the Vega 8 R4000. It outscores…
Consumption taxes can be made arbitrarily progressive. Imagine a hypothetical one where the rate on spending below $1,000,000 a year is 0% and 200% after that point. There's a reason why the wording is specifically "a…
This article is really inaccurate. The impedance isn't a good signal for how much power needs to be pumped into the headphone. The impedance also doesn't act as a good signal for what devices could generate enough…
For further background, there were two surveys of top economists, one for European economists, one for US economists, where the economists were asked if the EU used its antitrust powers to protect EU-based firms from…
Can you back up those assertions with some sources? This seems overly simplistic.
"Build Me Up Buttercup" ends with one of the most interesting fade-outs. It actually ends with a key change during a climax, ending unresolved. I've always found that to be one of the most interesting artistic fade-outs…
For a soda tax to work and reduce consumption, the price for soda must rise. The cost of the taxed drinks, indeed, sharply rose. The cost of the other untaxed drinks that were caloric substitutes, like juice or milk,…
For those interested in how the sugar tax might affect things going forward, the NBER did an early study on the effects of the sugar tax on Mexico [0]. [0] http://www.nber.org/papers/w21197.pdf
This sort of "static tax analysis" makes tax increases look like they'll generate more revenue than they would really do. This, in turn, makes the policies sound more affordable since the tax revenues are exaggerated.
This article is really poorly written in order to paint Trump in the worst light possible. First, Donald Trump's dad died in 1999. The article is calculating as if he received 1/5th of his father's estate in 1974.…
