kkzz99··on ECJ finds IAB Europe responsible for TCF consent spam popups across the Internet
You may not know, but China has also adopted pretty elaborate privacy laws called Personal Information Protection Law(PIPL) which is pretty close to GDPR.
kkzz99··on China Has Navalnys, Hidden from the Public
The blatant white-washing of corrupt oligarchs by the usual suspects is truly off the charts.
kkzz99··on Groq runs Mixtral 8x7B-32k with 500 T/s
How does that work when the card only has 230MB of SRAM?
kkzz99··on Groq runs Mixtral 8x7B-32k with 500 T/s
How does the Groq PCIE Card work exactly? Does it use system ram to stream the model data to the card? How many T/s could one expect with e.g. 36000Mhz DDR4 Ram?
kkzz99··on Orgzly Revived: a community-maintained version of Orgzly
I don't think this is the argument you think it is...
kkzz99··on Orgzly Revived: a community-maintained version of Orgzly
American weapons, American ISR, American planning, American funding... US politicians talk about a "good investment" and "to the last Ukrainian". I don't understand how you could NOT call it a US-proxy war.
kkzz99··on Our next-generation model: Gemini 1.5
Its because they don't want you to actually use it and see how far behind they are compared to other companies. These announcement are meant to placate investors. "See, we are doing a lot of SotA AI too".
kkzz99··on OpenAI compatibility
You have to specify the amount of layers to put on the GPU with ollama. Ollama defaults to far less layers compared to what is actually possible.
kkzz99··on How we got fine-tuning Mistral-7B to not suck
You use the vector embedding only for retrieval of the actual text, which then gets injected into the prompt.
kkzz99··on UUID v7
Huh, why would using uuidv4 be a problem? Collisions?
kkzz99··on Meta AI releases Code Llama 70B
RTX 3090 has 24GB of memory, a quantized llama70b takes around 60GB of memory. You can offload a few layers on the gpu, but most of them will run on the CPU with terrible speeds.
kkzz99··on U.S. will soon stop Chinese companies from using American clouds for AI training
Which is very ironic, when you compare 1st tier chinese cities with 1st tier US cities, you could probably say the same thing.
kkzz99··on U.S. will soon stop Chinese companies from using American clouds for AI training
Correct, the US is not a reliable partner and should be viewed very warily.
kkzz99··on Air Jordan Is Finally Deflating
Market is more dominated by Adidas.
kkzz99··on Mistral looks set to challenge AI frontrunners Google and OpenAI
Mistrals biggest risk factor is the EU. The overzealous regulation could be stifling innovation, especially open source.
kkzz99··on $329 Radeon 7600 XT brings 16GB of memory to AMD's latest midrange GPU
Doesn't matter what hardware they release if the software doesn't support it.
kkzz99··on AMD Reveals Next-Gen Desktop Processors for Extreme PC Gaming
Do these AI accelerators even support common implementations for LLM inference or stable diffusion models?

Last time I checked, AMD's support was terrible.

kkzz99··on Show HN: Possibly the most comprehensive design system collection
No matter how many times I clicked the back button it wouldn't let me return to hn. Its a terrible implementation.
kkzz99··on Possible Meissner effect near room temperature: copper-substituted lead apatite
China filed more IP than rest of world combined in 2022. There is no reason to keep it secret with IP-Laws and Patents. https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202312/12/WS6577b803a31040ac...

For Chinese EV insights I recommend https://twitter.com/tphuang
kkzz99··on Details on Xiaomi EV
It was primarily the USSR that liberated us from fascism, while the USSR stopped its occupation of east Germany, the US never stopped. And wasn't it Christina Nuland that said "Fuck the EU" while instigating the Ukraine Coup? Wonder why we should trust the US when it has been one of the worst "Allies" we ever had...
kkzz99··on Details on Xiaomi EV
In my opinion, the US is as much a foreign adversary as China. The US isn't subsidizing defense, its occupation and hegemony.
kkzz99··on Details on Xiaomi EV
I mean, sounds like you haven't kept up with Chinese EV innovation...
kkzz99··on Details on Xiaomi EV
Doesn't really look like a cooldown cycle for me in China. The competition is extreme there. Weekly new releases with another cool state-of-the-art feature. Pure innovation going on there, which makes me, as a German, kinda worried...
kkzz99··on Details on Xiaomi EV
This is no different then me being a German owning an Android or Iphone, which is going to ping back home to some servers in the US.
kkzz99··on Show HN: I made a GPU VRAM calculator for transformer-based models
Usually, for efficiency, you use quantized models. Quantized models reduce the number of bits available for each parameter, saving space and reduce RAM usage.
kkzz99··on Everyone expected a recession. The Fed and White House found a way out
How are yearly interest payments of 1tn$USD sustainable?
kkzz99··on Epic vs. Google: Google Loses
Will that not change with the new EU rules?
kkzz99··on GigaGPT: GPT-3 sized models in 565 lines of code
We are talking about very big models which training requires an enormous amount of hardware. Not sure how scalable HuggingFace transformer for training such models is.
kkzz99··on GigaGPT: GPT-3 sized models in 565 lines of code
Looks like hardware vs. software abstraction. Considereing the perspective of an LLM startup: Would you rather write 20k LOC of complex code that would make you be able to more easily switch hardware platforms - or - write 600 LOC of less complex code and be pinned to a single provider?
