There’s both medication (which takes a while to get dosage right but can be extremely helpful for some) and also techniques you can use to help compensate.

Are you serious? It’s multiple nodes to run a frontier model (a node is 8x GPUs), and they aren’t running on H100s. You are looking at 32+ GPUs.

It’s how LLMs work - they are effectively recursive at inference time, after each token is sampled, you feed it back in. You will end up with the same model state (not including no…

It depends on how large the input prompt (previous context) is. Also, if you can keep cache on GPU with a LRU mechanism, for certain workloads it's very efficient. You can also des…

They are almost certainly doing this internally for their own chat products. The simple version of this just involves saving off the KV cache in the attention layers, and restore i…

This is a pretty standard technique if you're running the models yourself. e.g. ChatGPT almost certainly does this. There's even work that is more sophisticated in this domain that…

I had the pleasure of working closely with Jeff Slutter early in my career. Was the first really fantastic engineer I worked with - he’s at Santa Monica Studios (God of War) these …

Monarchies usually result in long-term thinking? I’m sure we haven’t read the same history books. Most monarchs throughout history have been very self-interested and their decision…

Hamas gained a ton of support for their cause by the tragedy inflicted in the counterattack. I believe they celebrate the deaths of Palestinian innocents as much as they do the Isr…

It seems like rather than adding a random amount to each sample (which lets them compute a mean by recreating the same audio and extracting out the differences), Safari could inste…

You’re being downvoted because this is a hot take that isn’t supported by evidence. I just tried exactly that with dalle-3 and it worked well. More to the point, it’s pretty clear …

You can also look at Bertopic which has this functionality as an open source library: https://maartengr.github.io/BERTopic/index.html

Sometimes you can use a heuristic to estimate K, or use a variant that terminates at some distance threshold. That said, something like hdbscan doesn’t suffer from this problem.

I have an eightsleep, which cools the bed down dramatically (circulates cold water). Makes a huge difference in my ability up sleep.

I talked to Pavel about taking a role in my team earlier this year (I ended up leaving Microsoft myself since). He was passionate about making the developer experience excellent - …

I don’t know about [1]. I asked an example from the paper above to GPT-4: “[If you had to guess] how many thumbs did Lincoln’s maternal grandmother have?” Response: There is no wid…

If you ask it properly it gets it right. From a pure measurement standpoint, could Jupiter fit in the space between the earth and moon? The average distance from the Earth to the M…

I’m fairly confident this is untrue. At Microsoft at least, it’s a big deal when there is a privacy issue, even a small localized one on a single product - and creates a small fire…

I had the same issue, but support kept disconnecting me and I had to start all over again going through the entire “try all of the brain dead stuff like resetting” 3 times, before …

> They will instead pay a lot for MSFTs cloud service offering, which of course comes with the crucial promise that their data is safe and secured and handled in a way that is comp…

This is really a lot less necessary with GPT-4. What required careful prompting in 3.5 often you can give it something slapdash in 4 and it can do a great job figuring out intent.

Just use the Azure hosted solution, which has all of Azure's stronger guarantees around compliance. I'm sure it will update with GPT-4 pricing shortly. https://azure.microsoft.com/…
