But isn't AI technology?

Looking back at this, has there been a maverick company like Nullsoft since then? It's sad, but AOL may have killed off the last one.

Did you read the article? There are large storage and bandwidth requirements.

22B params * 2 bytes (FP16) = 44GB just for the weights. Doesn't include KV cache and other things.

When the model gets quantized to say 4bit ints, it'll be 22B params * 0.5 bytes = 11GB for example.

A popular use case for SaaS companies isn't even in utilizing Zapier themselves, but rather adding their API to the list of integrations. This can really speed up onboarding for customers -- especially if they already use Zapier.

In order to charge 10x faster, you need to deliver 10x the current. That means all the wiring and electronics need to be upgraded to handle the huge increase without melting.

Also, the rest stop won't just be installing a single fast charger, it would install more than one. So you can't really compare 10 slow chargers against a single fast one. That means the wiring service for the entire rest stop would likely need to be upgraded as well.

The Nintendo Switch.

For all the reasons you mention. I have a career, I have a family, and I have side projects. I just don’t have time to dedicate to games. But sometimes you just need to blow off steam for 15 minutes before bed and the Switch is perfect for this.

Every game can be paused/stopped by hitting one button. The controls are great, software is great, and I’ve been using the the dock to play games together with family like Mario Kart. I have a bunch of maxed out characters in Diablo 3 just by playing 15 minutes here and there. :)

I would disagree with the premise that the two stores are comparable. The alternative to not use the Mac App Store is not just financial, but also allows developers to bypass the sandbox requirements.

Whether or not Apple permits alternative payment systems for iOS/iPadOS, all the apps will likely remain sandboxed.

Impressive. I wonder if Google will sell servers with these cards via Google Cloud. Seems like it could be pretty competitive in the transcoding space and also help them push AV1 adoption.
