That's what you get when you use speculative decoding and focus / overfit the draft model on coding. Then when the answer is out of distribution for the draft model, you get increased token rejections by the main model and throughput suffers. This probably still makes sense for them if they expect a lot of their load will come from claude code and they need to make it economical.

I for one support this system. I drive a VW with this feature and it's fine. It recognizes signs well enough. There's a built in grace of about 5km/h. The only thing the car does is that it produces a few gentle dinging sounds that are completely different from other warning sounds like parking sensors, when someone hasn't buckled in, door is open, etc.

I have no intention of speeding and welcome the warning to consider I may have missed a sign. And if it is wrong, or I wish to ignore it, it's only like three subtle dings before it shuts up. It's fine. Perhaps the issue is not in the law, but the specific car manufacturer in the article.

I haven't ever seen a server with 8x H100 NVL 188GB. The H100 NVL has 94GB of VRAM but they sell them in pairs connected with NVLink, so I guess they sometimes market them as 188GB, but in fact it's two cards and a server usually has 4 pairs.

I think you misunderstood what the "single market" in that article means. The EU doesn't want there to be a single marketplace (App store). The single market means unifying the different national European markets. The EU cares about maintaining that market, keeping it healthy and competitive and using it as a glue to keep the European nations together and peaceful.

> convention that governs technology along a framework akin to a technology user’s bill of rights. No stealing information, no antipatterns, cancel subscriptions with a single click, etc…

What you're suggesting is exactly what the EU is doing through GDPR and now the DMA. The balancing act is them recognizing that these big powerful tech companies derive their value partly from their scale, network effect, etc. and trying not to, for example, try and break them up, but instead lay out a set of principles that a sufficiently big tech company has to comply with. These rules are designed to promote consumer interests and limit what is perceived as abuse of market power by forcing the companies to be more open to competitors.

As a European, I have to protest.

Pickpocketing is only a concern in tourist traps like if you went to visit the tower of Pisa out something.

And waking around my university buildings, it's very common to see people leaving their stuff including expensive laptops to reserve their spot in the library and random tables in hallways that have them. Though this is frowned upon if you're going for more than a few minutes.

No they haven't. It voluntarily and temporarily shut down. Someone was pretending to represent Reddit threatened to sue u/savevideo, but Reddit admins stepped in and confirmed it wasn't them and that they don't have anything against u/savevideo

For several years now, in the EU at least, all new cars need to have automatic emergency breaks. It's basically impossible to run into something, run someone over, etc. This kind of system reduces stress and gives at least me a certain peace of mind. In this regard Tesla self driving is a step backwards.

Alamut by Vladimir Bartol

Written in 1030's by a Slovenian, it's a historical fiction novel set in the in 11th century what is now Iran. It tells the story of how a radical leader of an Islamic faction, based in the impenetrable mountain fortress "Alamut", manipulates young men into perfect obedience and turns them against his enemies through the use of drugs and a fake paradise full of women purporting to be heaven.

It is also one of the major inspirations for the Assassin's Creed series of games.

I don't know about CNTK, but Tensorflow and I think PyTorch don't have _good_ distributed training.

They use a distributed training model that utilizes parameter servers, which scales nowhere near Horovod's mpi solution.

Even for single-machine-multi-gpu solutions, only now in Tensorflow 1.8 is pure tensorflow as fast as Horovod with it's estimator MirroredStrategy. If you watch Tensorflow dev days 2018, the devs say they're working on bringing something like Horovod to pure Tensorflow

Does anyone have an example of the "documentation of data processing activities"?

Edit: Especially in the context of a company that does not handle/store customer data, but only employee info.

They don't have a choice under GDPR.

From Zagreb, Croatia. I guess that new cloudflare POP is paying off.

Edit: formatting

I got an Asus vivobook pro a few weeks ago. It came with endless linux. I'm now running Ubuntu 17.10 and I've had no issues. Everything just works, including all the backlight / brightness control buttons.

The Nvidia settings gui (comes with drivers) allows me to switch between Nvidia and intel graphics. With intel graphics card selected and the tlp package (apt install tlp, no additional setup, should be installed by default imho), I get 60-90 minutes more than reviewers got on windows.
