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.
> 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?
> 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).
How is this not going to result in even lower take home pay for drivers? Uber does not have the margins to absorb the cost. They will certainly pass it on the drivers. They could increase pricing, but that dampens demand, which given how many drivers are out there, could be really bad for driver utilization and hourly earnings.
I learned to use my thumb on the trackpad when I am using my laptop. I feel so much more productive, my fingers can stay very close to their home position while my thumb handles minor mouse tasks. I do switch to using my finger for when I need more fine grained pointer control.
American companies benefit from access to Chinese capital. Chinese companies are denied access to American capital. Given that investment opportunities in china are no better (or worse) than anywhere else in the world (efficient markets), it seems dumb to try to change the status quo, from the US point of view.
Thats a nice way of saying publishing houses are paying most authors more than they make from the sales
