<p>It's unclear why the most probable next token given the context "please pick random number" won't be distributed uniformly across all the possible numbers (in the end it's totally possible for LLM return 10 logits of around same value for numbers 0..9 for example).</p>

<p>Total US wealth is ~170T so obviously it will be enough to cover federal and state government for a year (and more like 20 years).<p>Even considering obvious issue of wealth going down like crazy in such hypothetical scenario in its ends this would be enough. Because in the end it’s all part of same economy.</p>

<p>While I mostly agree with you, it worth noting modern llms are trained on 10-20-30T of tokens which is quite comparable to their size (especially given how compressible the data is)</p>

<p>It's not an issue of warmup time, it's an issue of jit compilation.<p>On my server (AMD EPYC 7252):
1) base time of the java program from the repo is 3.23s (which is ~2 worse than the one in linked page, so I assume my cpu is about 2 slower, and corresponding best c++ result will be ~450ms
2) if you count from inside of java program you get 3.17s (so about 60ms of overhead)
3) <i>but</i> if you run it 10 times (inside of same java program) you cut this time to 1570ms<p>It's still much slower than c++ version, but it's between rust and go. And this is not me optimizing something, it's only measuring things correctly.<p>update: running vector version of java code from same repo brings runtime to 392ms which is literally <i>fastest</i> out of all solutions including c++.<p>update2: ran c++ version on same hardware, it takes 400ms, so I would say it's fair to say c++ and vectorized java are on par (and given "allows vectorization" comment in cpp code I assume that's the best one can get out of it).</p>

<p>This one doesn’t even have warmup for Java, which makes results complete non sense.<p>Those benchmarks should be just forbidden for their misleading nature.</p>

<p>There might be more than one reason for an ongoing crisis, and different takes on who’s responsible. However Maduro is responsible of huge number of refugees fleeing Venezuela, and we (and some other countries around) have some obligations to help asylum seekers.</p>

<p>Language is just a form, what exactly is encoded inside of the model can be very different.

<p>Issue with your original statement is that it implies negative correlation between intellect and being good politician. All the issues you describe (both being self serving and power seeking) apply to anyone regardless to their intellect (and I still think they apply less to people of high intellect just because they see bigger picture, but I might be wrong).<p>We need to optimize for less self serving and more integrity but we should strive for smarter people up there too.</p>

<p>In my opinion even charisma implies higher than average intellect which is already something.<p>We should put more pressure on elected politicians around competence and integrity, sure, but it doesn’t mean random person is going to be better.<p>In the original comparison second category of people have much higher intellect than average.</p>

<p>From the comment below:<p>> Groq raised $750 million at a valuation of about $6.9 billion three months ago. Investors in the round included Blackrock and Neuberger Berman, as well as Samsung, Cisco, Altimeter and 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner.<p>Makes it very hard not to think of this as a way to give money to the current administration.
I know, this sounds conspiracy theory grade, but 20b is too much for groq.</p>

<p>To me intellect has two parts to it: "creativity" and "correctness". And from this perspective random sampler is infinitely "creative" - over (infinite) time it can come up with answer to any given problem. And from this perspective it does feel natural that base models are more "creative" (because that's what being measured in the paper), while RL models are more "correct" (that's a slope of the curve from the paper).</p>

<p>Probably if you use a lot of Arc<Mutex<Box<T>>> languages with proper runtime (like Go or Java) are gonna be more performant, in the end they are built with those abstractions in mind. So the question isn’t only how much the nature of the problem it is, but also how common the problem is, and is rust a correct way to solve this problem.</p>
