Can we expect the price of 'Gaudi 3 PCIe' to be reasonable enough to put in a workstation? That would be a game changer for local LLMs

These fake reviews are easier to identify. No profile photo, they typically have one or two 5 star reviews. If you click on few reviews of a business and if you see this pattern then most likely they are fake. In the past I want to choose a mover and this particular business has 4.9 stars with over 300 reviews. There is no way a mover can have this rating. I clicked on atleast 50 reviewers and all of them have only one review and it is a 5 star one. For some reason Google doesn’t care. I tried to complain about a particular review but there is no option to indicate the kind.

Homeopathy medicines are the best examples of the placebo effect. The common argument I often hear is that it worked for me in the past. Homeopathy people say it works slowly. It works slowly because you are giving your body enough time to cure itself. It works for some and some it doesn't work. Lot of people miss this basic logic.

Some other people believe in homeopathy because it's a herbal medicine. These two are completely different. The fundamental logic of how Homeopathy medicine is created is flawed. From Wiki, "Homeopathic preparations are termed remedies and are made using homeopathic dilution. In this process, the selected substance is repeatedly diluted until the final product is chemically indistinguishable from the diluent." If you know basic chemistry you will know that this doesn't make sense.

FST is one underappreciated data structure. Its used in places like speech recognition and synthesis, machine translation, optical character recognition, pattern matching, string processing, machine learning, information extraction. If you know about it you exactly know where to use it.

I agree that M1 is great but the entire press release is full of adjectives. I never read any press release like it.

Latest pixel phones are even worse. Every update is a nightmare. With one update, Bluetooth wont work, next update I wont get signal etc. I don't want to be in the Apple ecosystem but I am forced to. At least it works all the time.

The problem is how would we use it in any real world scenario. We need more research on model understanding and its limitations. I mean we need a way to control the output of the model, we also should know when the model failed vs generating some random nonsense. I am not aware of getting the probabilities back in generative models. Does anyone know how to do that ?
