Thanks hgarg!


Is this magic?


Nepal is currently ruled by a coalition of secular communist or socialist parties


Perhaps ironically (given the somewhat corrupted attribution to Alexandra Kollontai of the flippant remark that "the satisfaction of one's sexual desires should be as simple as getting a glass of water"), Stalin reeled in some of the sexual excesses that characterized the early Soviet regime, because, as it turns out, sex is indeed dangerous and deserving of honor and respect, and sexual degeneracy is a sure way to propel a society toward self-destruction and chaos.


Are the inputs and the responses in a non English language? LLM APIs can get costly for non English, sometimes as much as 10x due to more tokens being consumed. Not sure what's the solution here.

Also, maybe you can use sometime kind of caching combined with some mbeddongd search to serve the previous response, if the input is similar above a certain threshold.


The voices are really good. Wonder what are they using for Text-To-Speech?


Not sure what's your use case but have you tried fine tuning the cheaper models?


"All employees below Principal Engineer, grades 7 to 11, will get a 5% cut, 10% cuts will be instituted for VPs, and the executive leadership team will take a 15% cut, with Pat Gelsinger taking a 25% cut. "

So the OP would rather have Intel fire thousands of employees?


From the headline I would infer OP would rather Intel cut their dividend.


yea but they're not going to do that.


Intel had record revenue in 2021 and $20 billion in profit. There is literally zero reason for cutting pay or jobs except for corporate greed.


It's not 2021 any more. Intel revenue dropped significantly in 2022, meanwhile they were hiring as though the revenue growth would continue. It's a similar story to many other tech companies. But at least at Intel, leadership is taking responsibility by cutting their own pay more than their employees' pay.


My mind hasn't moved on to it being 2023 now, hah

They still made 8 billion in profit in 2022. There's ~130k employees, let's be generous and say average income for all of those is $120k a year. This is generous because there's a massive amount of factory workers that get paid nowhere near this. That's $15 billion a year in salaries. Cutting that by 10% is $1.5 billion. Intel still would have had several billions in profit.

As I said - no reason except greed. The business is not in jeopardy.

> leadership is taking responsibility by cutting their own pay

This is a really empty gesture. Leadership has leverage to get that pay bumped up again very quickly, and I guarantee they will. They may even get bonuses to offset it in the future.

Non-leadership employees have extremely little to no leverage to get their pay back up. And in terms of financial stress, a leader making $300k a year taking a 15% cut isn't going to feel much different. Someone making $60k a year on the fab floor is going to have to make lifestyle changes with a pay cut.


Leadership's income is much more closely tied to stock than their wages.


They're already firing thousands of employees (and thousands more contractors who don't get counted in the layoff numbers)


They already are laying people off. The reason why they're instituting the cuts is because they can't bleed critical talent, so instead they're betting on said talent staying even after a pay cut.


Intel could fire thousands and it’s efficiency would improve. There’s no way it’ll happen though, because it doesn’t know which ones to fire.


>So the OP would rather have Intel fire thousands of employees?

Ah yes - the only option


I hope they tested against prompt injection.
