Just because it's possible doesn't mean it is clearly the answer. Is a transformer model truly likely to require less compute than current methods? We can't even run models like Ve…

But if it is all handled locally on my device, the idea is that there is no intrusion

Exactly this. Lots of bus depots all around NYC. Several across Staten Island alone. My uncle worked at the MTA for his entire career as a bus mechanic. My favorite story was when …

Unfortunately the logic behind the buy box isn't quite that clear. They could also prefer a listing for a higher price from an established seller over a listing from a new seller, …

Yes, but in practice regulatory agencies can be fairly non-communicative with the companies that they regulate. I work in the dietary supplements industry, and while people love to…
