Council taxes could be considered propertie taxes, I guess, though I've always thought of them as paying for rubbish collection & etc.
However council taxes are paid by the residents of a property rather than the owner of a property. Granted these are often the same, but consider the case of a landlord with five properties the tenants would be paying those.
In the sense that Americans talk about property taxes as an annual thing I believe that distinction makes it a slightly different thing..
(And council tax is only a thing for property, if you buy a chunk of land with no houses upon it you pay nothing.)
They're not exactly proportional to the value of the property though are they? There's folks in London with multi-million pound mansions who pay the same or less in council tax than a family home in the suburbs.
The key issue for the sector is the tens of legacy systems that don't integrate with each other, often with manual spreadsheet processes that could be easily automated. Yet the big players like Oracle sell a generic CRM experience that doesn't fit well with higher education.
Are you hiring? I have 8 years of university SIS implementation & migration experience and 2 years of Edtech AI engineering experience and this is the exact problem space I want to work in.
Completely agreed, that is one of the biggest challenges in this industry! And it's surprising how many software systems are being used by higher education that aren't designed or built for them.

RAM for 4-bit is 1GB per 2 billion parameters. So you will want 256GB RAM and at least one GPU. If you only have one server and one user, it's the full parameter count. (If you have multiple GPUs/servers and many users in parallel, you can shard and route it so you only need the active parameter count per GPU/server. So it's cheaper at scale.)
Of course it is. Nobody else is going to fund such research.
That's true in pretty much every industry. That's why papers have "conflicts" sections, so you know who's funding it, and can take that into account. That doesn't make it wrong. You just need to put it in context.
A great deal of agricultural research is funded/carried out by governments who don’t have a vested interest in a particular outcome beyond general improvement.
A secure global food supply benefits the general public not just argo businesses. In essence everyone has a vested interest in farming.
Like InternVL, no llama.cpp support severely limits its applications. Close to GPT4v performance level and runnable locally on any machine (no need for a GPU) would be huge for the accessibility community.
Very curious how it performs on OCR tasks compared to InternVL. To be competitive at reading text you need tiling support, and InternVL does tiles exceptionally well.
After some superficial testing I with bad quality scans you can find on kaggle I can not confirm that. CogVLM2 refuses to handle scans that InternVL-V1.5 still can comprehend.
I’m going to be saying First Ever AI something for the next 15 years for clout and capital, not going to be listening to anybody’s complicated ten step funnel if they’re not doing the obvious
