Visual cortex responded differently to same stimulus depending on whether it was during or in between heart contractions. How do we know it’s not an artifact of the hemodynamic dependent signal in fMRI (BOLD)?

Its been established head posture is a factor. It’s also intuitive - the posture of your head affects the angle of your airway. This is why some patients wear cervical braces to sleep.
Training ASICs (like Google’s TPUs) can generally run inference too, since inference is a subset of training computations. TPUs are widely used for both.

Mining ASICs (Bitcoin, etc.) cannot be repurposed…they’re hardwired for a single hash algorithm and lack matrix math needed for neural networks.

The entire conversation is fed in as context effectively compounding your token usage over the course of a session. Sessions are most efficient when used for one task only.
