What's the energy efficiency of Astra? Does it roughly correlate with the token efficiency?
This is the answer I got after asking it twice what's taalas (second time hinting that it's a chip startup):

After a quick search, I found that Ta'ala is actually a Canadian chip startup that produces artisanal, high-end potato chips. They offer a range of unique and creative flavor combinations, often featuring Canadian and international ingredients.

Ta'ala is known for its high-quality, small-batch potato chips made with premium ingredients and care. The company is committed to creating unique and delicious flavor profiles that showcase the best of Canadian ingredients and cuisine.

Is this the Ta'ala you were thinking of?

An analysis of data from the Tokyo Stock Exchange provides the first quantitative evidence for the Lillo-Mike-Farmer model—a long-standing theory in economics.

Agreed, though a bit provocative. ;)

I worked with some numerical analyst/software people before. Although their C++ code looks modern and fancy, the effort to install all the dependencies and finally utilize those is not worthy of the trouble. Eventually, it's all about solving the problem efficiently, not the appearance.

Interesting article (thanks for sharing). Indeed, a genuine prior is the key to apply Bayes' rule. However, is there a proof that it always exist? (As Feynman would question the law of physics changing in time.)
