One thing I hate about Hsinchu was its windy weather. I do agree Taipei are much better and Kaoshiung is certainly in my second place compared to Hsinchu.
I regularly compare queries with both GPT-4 and Claude 2 and I find I prefer Claude's answers most often. The 100k token context is a major plus too.
Claude is more creative and that comes with a higher rate of hallucinations. I hope I'm not misremembering but GPT-4 was also initially more prone to hallucinations but also more capable in some ways.
This. I recently bought an "second hand" iPhone XS advertised as those came from shop display phones. It was in good condition: no burn ins, battery at 80% health. When the screen broke after dropping it, I went to some shop for repair just to found out its remix of parts from other iPhone ( apparently the motherboard came from South Korea ). This made the device very fragile as some of the screws maybe missing and screen are not properly mounted. The iPhone XS I bought had one missing screw and no display adhesive.
Unless they are able to introduce smaller module like “GPU” version, it will only be a nice demo product of what we can do with state of the art semiconductor manufacturing.
I recently found this paper[1] claiming near GPT-3 performance with only a fraction of parameters. They seems to simply reformulate the input sequence to change classification to a sequence generation task.

If javascript frameworks is patented then yes, you can. For reference ARM big little scheduler is patented[1], you need to license from ARM if you use any of their big little design. RISC-V under BSD license might change this.
Because that would result in a more devastating response from the side that holds patents. If china stops respecting international trade laws and agreements, other nations will hurt china's interests in return. Given the scale of the things, the weak spots will be found inevitably.
There is a difference. Nobody in the first world really cares about Uighurs or Hong Kong. However, there are quite a handful of parties who do care about patents (and resulting profits).
China has been pilfering intellectual property from labs & private companies via APTs for the last couple of years: what are the handful of parties who care about patents going to do - write a strongly worded letter? If China decides it wants to get the latest ARM design and/or ISA in the future, do you doubt they can acquire them? Sure, they won't be able to call it "ARM" but you can bet it will be compatible[1].
For internal market, no, but they will have problems selling the pirate copies to the rest of the world. Most rich states do respect intellectual property.
(1) What you linked does not appear to be an ARM patent. (2) Even if it were, lack of big/little scheduling is hardly going to bring China's homegrown chip market to it's knees. And that's assuming the patent is ironclad and can't be worked around.
Online decoding in Kaldi uses GMM (or NN+GMM hybrid) where this repo focus in end to end approach using deep LSTM (similar to Google Pixel's offline speech to text [1]).
I am studying master in Taiwan. Chill, cafe, convenience stores are certainly the best three things I loved about. Btw transportation is only top notched in Taipei, so if you are free you should take some time to get a scooter license.
