eSIMs are great and all, I really enjoy using Ubiji and/or Saily when I travel.
However, if you get your iPhone repaired and they swap the mainboard (my Lightning port stopped working), then you need to bring another device to the Apple store to re-activate. Also, turn off account security temporarily with your cell carrier.
In sum:
1. Bring a charger and charge cable to prove to the Apple store employee that the phone no longer charges
2. Turn off account migration/SIM swap security
3. Bring a second device (laptop, iPad, etc.) that's already logged into your iCloud
4. Hope for the best (like your partner on your cell plan is still in cell service and can be your second factor, if need be)
While I could restore from iCloud backup (I normally use a cable to back up my phone when I upgrade, but couldn't do that with a busted port, nor would Wi-Fi backup work without a port connection first), I was then prompted to do a 30-minute iOS upgrade (no way to bypass).
So restoring your phone after a repair, is a massive time waste with eSIMs, unless you do your homework and thoroughly prepare in advance.

OK, even if you prepare, most carriers still fail. Here's the rundown:
1. @ATT's transfer eSIM flow is broken because it requires 2FA from the phone that was repaired (via a recycled mainboard)
2. @Google_fi only lets you transfer one line and the one I wanted to move over was the secondary. I had to cancel it
3. @Visible's eSIM transfer mostly worked as intended, except I was totally logged out on the restored-from-backup device, so it prompted me to start new service rather than restore from backup. Luckily I could use e-mail as a second factor

Fun generative video clips with @krea_ai, courtesy of @ErwannMillon and team.
First pass, but should make for some fun projection mapping tomorrow night with @welovesfofficial!

Quantization update!
Transformers is now compatible with models quantized with llm-compressor library from @vllm_project or models in compressed-tensors format.
This means that you can also enjoy high quality quantized models from the @neuralmagic team!

I'm so grateful for all the hard work from @trsohmers and our excellent team at @positron_ai, including the FPGA team in Liberty Lake, WA, and an amazing software team distributed across the entire country!

Positron is proud to share our latest inference performance versus the GPU-based competition:
✅ 70% faster token generation on Llama3.1-8B
✅ 1/3 power usage on Llama3.1-8B
✅ 51% cost savings versus DGX-H100 💸
(Yes, IYKYK: less than half the cost.)

PSA:
If you're looking for properly quantized LLMs, huggingface.co/nm-testing (NeuralMagic, creator of Marlin) is the new Tom Jobbins huggingface.co/TheBloke
By that I mean you'll find recent models to easily run with @vllm_project, text-generation-webui, or @OpenWebUI

#GPT4V is magical…A machine that can textually explain an image representing its own operation, and then suggest a new way to visually represent itself. What a time to be alive.

2. Windshield wipers can't be disabled while on FSD, which means sometimes they automatically activate, only to rub white road gunk into my windshield, blocking the front-facing cameras.

I know these may seem minor compared to getting to use the best L2 system on the market, but...please hjälp?!

I just wrote a blog post on how we used mmap() to make LLaMA load faster, run in parallel, and use less memory. In this post you'll find all the facts. justine.lol/mmap/

Proud to be working on this!
Should be a really fun Saturday. Come hack with all the large and foundation and generative models.
