It's pretty glaring that nginx still doesn't have production-ready HTTP3 support despite being a semi-commercial product backed by a multi billion dollar corporation. F5 is asleep at the wheel.

Are there any viable nginx alternatives that support HTTP3 and are mature for prod workflows?

Any idea if the same dataset can be used to improve human reasoning? Let's say I manually analyze 817 math examples, would that be optimal strategy for me to improve my math reasoning? Can the same distilation process be applied to leetcode?

Do you have any evidence for this accusation?

This is a guide for the casual observer who wants to try things out, given that getting started with other AI platforms is so much more straightforward. It's all open source, with transparent hosting, catering to any remaining concerns someone interested in exactly that may have.

Sharing your IAM credentials is like sharing your password. Just don't do it, regardless of the intentions. Even if this one doesn't steal anything it creates a precedence that will let people think it's ok and make them easier targets in the future. Besides, bedrock already has a console, so what's the point of using your UI?

No audio support: The models are currently trained to process and understand video content solely based on the visual information in the video. They do not possess the capability to analyze or comprehend any audio components that are present in the video.

This is blowing my mind. gemini-1.5-flash accidentally knows how to transcribe amazingly well but it is -very- hard to figure out how to use it well and now Amazon comes out with a gemini flash like model and it explicitly ignores audio. It is so clear that multi-modal audio would be easy for these models but it is like they are purposefully holding back releasing it/supporting it. This has to be a strategic decision to not attach audio. Probably because the margins on ASR are too high to strip with a cheap LLM. I can only hope Meta will drop a mult-modal audio model to force this soon.

They also announced speech to speech and any to any models for early next year. I think you are underestimating the effort required to release 5 competitive models at the same time.

Some independent latency and quality evaluations already available at https://artificialanalysis.ai/ Looks to be cheap and fast.

It's very interesting to me that Arch Linux is reportedly the most popular distro among Steam users. I wonder if that's actually accurate, or if people who use other distros are more likely to decline the survey for privacy reasons, and people who use Arch like sharing because of the "I use Arch BTW" meme

Edit: SteamOS != Arch Linux[0]

SteamOS on Steam Deck is based on Arch Linux.
