Large LLMs are unnecessary for tasks with tightly-scoped inputs, such as SQL autocomplete or structured extraction, which require only a small context window. Smaller models with 15M parameters can be sufficient for specific tasks, making inference more efficient and cost-effective.
Base64 is a binary-to-text scheme converting binary data into safe ASCII strings using a 64-character alphabet with browsers using Uint8Array.toBase64() and Uint8Array.fromBase64() functions. Browsers' base64 performance varies with Chromium-based browsers having faster encoding speeds and Safari having faster decoding speeds.
Usually I’m the one interviewing people about electrification on the Heat Pumped Podcast. Recently, I got to flip roles a bit as a guest on Less Talk, More Action. I was stoked to get the invite - I loved their interview with Panama Bartholomy from Building Decarbonization Coalition, who is ever the optimist reminding us that we ARE making progress electrifying. Joel and Owen peppered me with ...
