LLM inference performance is governed by three competing bottlenecks: compute time, memory bandwidth, and communication latency. In this post, we've covered what allows full hardware utilization and key constraints.
Most of the comments were about either piracy is harmful or not. Another point here is that, for me, it's natural that the EU rejects or neglects a comprehensive report because it contradicts previous findings, especially in cases like piracy that have innate harmful characteristics.
He had a talk three days ago, explaining his thesis where he remarked:
“When the paper was posted online just a few days ago, many people who don’t focus on mathematics didn’t understand it, thinking that it was the Landau-Siegel zeros conjecture solved, and some even thought that it proved the Riemann Hypothesis is wrong. Actually, I don’t have this ability. I only partially solve the Riemann hypothesis within a certain range. If I say I overturned Riemann Hypothesis, few people would believe it.”[1]
Maybe he loves what he's doing and that's the root of being stubborn and "genuinely oblivious to ordinary material feedback". Although love or passion can be overrated or too general to describe his attitude toward problem-solving, I think people can't be just stubborn, there's a drive that holds them to a higher standard.
Erik Hoel in this paper offers an audacious hypothesis: Our brain, during the its evolution, has developed dreams as a way to solve over-fitting
Since we’re learning from a limited samples of data in the real world, chances of overfitting (I call it judgement) goes higher. In ML we inject randomness and noise to avoid overfitting. Hoel theory can explain why our dreams are so sparse & hallucinatory
That's the dream, all we need right now is support from the tech community to come to an agreement for opening new windows for innocent people who have contributed a lot to science, tech, art and culture of the entire world.
They can make a change, a real difference
Tensions hadn't turned into war yet, of course, nobody can predict there would be actually any war or not, it seems close. But even if there's a war, there are innocent people on both sides. We can't ignore the lives of innocent people because of conflicts between politicians.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps does any intention to publish something on Google and Apple platforms, on the contrary, they want to have their own platform. In other word, sanctions are aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
Although there are facts in your point, it's not all of it. China is also under sanction, and also under domestic internet filtering.
Iran also has its own internet filtering.
The point here is to reach out to Google and Apple and ask them to brainstorm on this problem, maybe we find a way to stop limiting humanity over politics.
I don't think to blame the companies will have any effect either. We think these companies with their financial and market power can do better here to show that the tech community is not a part of political war.
For example, there can be new companies in third countries with no legal obligation to US sanctions that can provide Apple and Google products to countries like Iran.
It's not just about the publishers, Apple and Google are being forced to ban any transaction from Iran. Iranian apps cannot be published from any provider around the world on Apple devices. Apple home, Google Chromecast and other appliances don't even work in Iran.
That's another part of the story. That part is going on, struggling with its problems, especially with the Apple ecosystem.
On the other side, there are conservatives in Iran too, that will be happy to be disconnected from the world. Taking effective steps from Google and Apple side can strengthen the peace dialogue for both sides.
There are lots of ways to provide free access to information to everyone. How do you expect other people to grow without giving them enough information to understand?
Peace depends on the freedom
This is not about governments. It's just a simple customer care matter. Different laws come and go, but a good company can always treat its customers better.
My point is not a legal one, it's a moral point. If they've complied with the GDPR it means they even have processes and systems to give users their data but didn't have the decency to respect their customer and at least close their account in a much better way. The export law says you are banned to serve Iranian companies (!), Fine, but it definitely doesn't force you to f* your users in Iran!

This is not a fight over being an Iranian or an American or any other country. It does not have anything to do with politics. I'm just a service user, I used free and paid services and I have the right to download "my data" before closing my account.

After enforcing sanctions against Iran ( which btw has one of vibrant tech environments in the region) App store now rejectst even Iranian developers and users outside Iran! Why do you guys at silicone valley ignoring the repetition of this kind of behavior from Google, Apple , Oracle and others ? Isn't it against diversity? Isn't it against freedom of information?
Ps: Iran has the biggest community on Telegram and the 7th biggest Instagram users!
the hard thing about hard things(Ben Horowitz): This book is mostly recommended for managers but I found it very useful to adjust my estimations about life. Also, you will learn about silicon valley history and it's dynamics.
The fifth discipline (Peter Senge): This book is one of the systems thinking references and it helped me to learn more about hidden dynamics in the world around me. I truly wish I've read this when I was junior in college.
