Snippet: Three weeks back , i posted SHADOW-250M here. It got 360 upvotes, 293 on r/LocalLLaMA and 94 GitHub stars. Thank you. That model was 60 MB, ran around 400 tok/s on CPU and could retrieve records from an archive on disk. What it couldn’t do reliably was reason over what it retrieved or compute. So I built a smaller one to experiment with those two problems. SHADOW-50M is actually 44M parameters, trained from scratch o…

Snippet: I’ve played some of these before, albeit a very long time ago. But I thought it would be fun to revisit them after playing most of the games that came later. Note, I didn’t do the Master Levels. I completely forgot about them until I’d finished all three, by which point I’d had enough.

Snippet: Kepler_L2 was asked: "What kind of FP8 and FP4 matmul/core are we expecting for it compared to 50 series?" "It's half rate per SIMD vs gfx1250 which would put it at double gfx12/Blackwell.", he replied. Kepler is claiming that even though a consumer RDNA 5 core runs AI math at half the speed of AMD's dedicated server chips, it still pushes about double the low-precision (FP4/FP8) AI math per core compared to RDNA 4 o…

6. Why are big cities junior bases?

Bot probability: Low (10%)
Snippet: In healthcare and many other industries, big cities are attractive to employees because they’re desirable places to live. However, with aviation, it seems like major cities (Boston, NYC, San Francisco, etc) are for more junior pilots / not as desired by pilots. I don’t really know why this is, I can’t think of any reason that wouldn’t also apply to other industries (like its easier to have a family in a suburb, but t…

Snippet: I've been working on a massive project for the better part of a year now, and it's been iterative with many improvements made along the way, but recently I decided to take a step back and evaluate how the full book of strategies operates and how to improve the process going forward so I can backtest new ideas, variants on existing strategies, etc. and I came up with an analogy that I like.

Snippet: I came to the realization recently that a lot of the issues that one may raise regarding streaming ASR can actually be tied to a very old assumption: the transcript is read by a human. The fact that the subtitle changes from “fifteen” to “fifty” in 300 milliseconds later does not really matter if someone is just reading it. However, if the transcript goes to the agent or translation systems or LLM, it might be too la…

Snippet: My investment strategy has been pretty simple: buy the S&P 500 in half a dozen different ETFs, keep some cash in a money market ETF, hold and don't touch. Max out the 401k and Roth, and try and live on the cash flow I have coming in from my job . Roughy half of what I have in the market is in retirement accounts and the other half brokerage.

Snippet: Hi all! I hope my project Containarr might be useful to some of you, so that's why I'm sharing it here. I like self-hosting, but never really enjoyed the tools needed to manage it all.
