The value of the data shrinks dramatically over time for this kind of data, I have been using rewind for around a year now and don’t think I have ever liked back past three months.

You’re probably right about declining value over time. Is that for personal use thoug? At work I’m routinely going through year+ old mails.

Yes, but that isn’t what I really use it for. An example recent use was to pull up a recording of a conversation I had on zoom to see a detail on one of the slides I couldn’t remember. Prior to that it was searching for a specific set of words I knew I had seen in a proprietary dataset (think Ipsos/Gartner) that their own search wasn’t finding.

I generally don’t need/recall those kinds of details after a certain time and will accept those losses.

The original commenter mentioned 70B, not 7B.

I had already read the comment I was responding to, and they actually mentioned both. Here's the exact quote for the 7B: "Even running a 7B will take 14GB if it's fp16." Since they called out a specific amount of memory that is entirely irrelevant to anyone actually running 7B models, I was responding to that. I'm certain that no one at Microsoft is talking about running 70B models on consumer devices. 7B models are…

Makes sense, your argument is clear now, my mistake.

Lenovo claimed 28h on their last arm laptop, real world was more like 10 for light tasks and 2 to 4 for heavier work like development

2-4 hours sounds wrong. Were you mining bitcoin in the background? "Battery life on the ThinkPad X13s will depend on your workload ... and while you might not get close to the 28 hours that Lenovo touts in its own testing, our testing with PCMark 10 got us an amazing 15 and a half hours..."

I was working on a Rails project and had a YouTube video playing in the background, its a 49whr battery and the CPU can easily burst above 15w and usually sustains around 7w plus backlight and all the other components of a laptop, a sustained power draw of 15w while doing development work isn't unusual.
