    Review Xiaomi 15 (India unit) Quick Review

    Xiaomi has kind of become like Samsung in that they have started to make everything under the sun, even cars. Maybe that's why their phones no longer do anything special or different (camera partnerships notwithstanding). But outside of Sony Xperia and foldables, most phones have become...

    Review Xiaomi 15 (India unit) Quick Review

    Xiaomi's infamous 5% profit margin to blame I guess. I wanted to experience flagship hardware but I don't want to pay Samsung's ridiculous markups. Thankfully, with the DNS tweak and some initial configuration (as mentioned above) the phone has become as ad-free as any other OEM. The form...

    Other Xiaomi 15* or Samsung S25*

    The icky ads can leave a bad taste in your mouth and Xiaomi should definitely tie-up with reputable ad vendors if they insist on having ads on their phones, irrespective of whether they are flagship or budget. FWIW I have never seen a porno type ad but mostly shitty video games and useless...

    Review Xiaomi 15 (India unit) Quick Review

    Past week was spent at home with greater than usual number of hours spent on Instagram, Reddit, and Youtube. I still got around 7-8 hours of SOT. With lighter usage, even higher is possible. Idle power draw is very low even when not on WiFi. HyperOS has removed the SOT number from the battery...

    Android Small / Mini Tablets?

    Hey this looks nice, thanks. I think Android 14 comes with a built-in taskbar but Lenovo's implementation is pretty barebones. I'll try this one out. Lenovo Pen Plus (I think it's called) is officially supported according to the reviews I've watched. I have seen Pen support within the settings...

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    Has anyone else tried Jarvis Labs? It's a Coimbatore based company and the instances are quite cheap IMO (although I haven't really compared the rates to other CSPs).

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    8B model with 5GB memory sounds like a pretty heavy quantisation. Do check the perplexity numbers to see how much you're losing in model quality.

    How to launch a big cloud VM with GPUs to run AI workloads?

    Check out sqlcoder by defog. It's available on huggingface. They fine-tune llama for text to SQL. We benchmarked the codellama finetune and found the performance on par with GPT4 (with extensive pre and post processing). They have a newer finetune based on llama3 which is supposed to be even better.
