Doesn't this require the whole message history including the system prompt for them to check for the watermark?

> then authors must pay back that entire advance in sales before they see a dollar of profit from their work. Most never do.

Thats a nice way of saying publishing houses are paying most authors more than they make from the sales

While Apple is incentivized to ship a smaller battery to cut costs, it is also incentivized to make their software efficient as possible to make the best use of the battery they do ship

Thanks for addressing it. Still sounds like a significant discount if only the search results and not all messages count are input tokens on subsequent iterations!

If you use your own search tool, you would have to pay for input tokens again every time the model decides to search. This would be a big discount if they only charging once for all output as output tokens but seems unclear from the blog post

> The Nova family of models were trained on Amazon’s custom Trainium1 (TRN1) chips,10 NVidia A100 (P4d instances), and H100 (P5 instances) accelerators. Working with AWS SageMaker, we stood up NVidia GPU and TRN1 clusters and ran parallel trainings to ensure model performance parity

Does this mean they trained multiple copies of the models?

I wonder why they didn't use AWS wide numbers rather then just EC2. I would have thought EC2 would lag in the transition while AWS services would make the switch quickly

This sounds suspicious. All these transactions are traceable now and it should be much easier for the income tax department to find out. No one in hier right mind would have so many people send money to their bank accounts like this.

This rule applies to both American and foreign suppliers so why does this disproportionately affect American labor costs?

What’s wrong with new supplier contacts going to India?

> The apt comparison would be between Apple’s revenue and Indonesia’s GDP, because GDP is not a measure of wealth, it’s a measure of output: the total value of goods and services produced by the country in a year.

Sounds like you want profit and not revenue then? Just like a trade deficit is subtracted from GDP, shouldn’t you subtract the costs from revenues of a company to arrive at a similar metric?

No they don't. From your link:

> The first draft of the paper, released last month, said the median profit was $3.37 an hour, but the author released a new analysis on Monday following criticism from Uber. In the new analysis, the researcher reported the higher median profit of $8.55 an hour.

Another quote from your link:

> Alex Tabarrok, a George Mason University professor who called the paper’s findings “dubious” last week, said he still had concerns about the researcher’s reliance on questionable survey data and that he believed the average hourly profit of Uber drivers was closer to $13 an hour (similar to figures the company has cited).
