How to Build Trust
What are the major management behaviors that can help build trust? Management books often cover the importance of trust, but abstractly. There's precious little writing about the nuts and bolts, the day-to-day tasks of trust-building. That's the gap I'd like to try to fill with this article.

A guide to LLM inference and performance
We want to use the full power of our GPU during LLM inference. To do that, we need to know if our inference is compute bound or memory bound so that we can make optimizations in the right area. Calculating the operations per byte possible on a given GPU and comparing it to the arithmetic intensity of our model’s attention layers reveals where the bottleneck is: compute or memory. We can use this information to pick the appropriate GPU for model inference and, if our use case allows, use techniques like batching to better utilize our GPU resources.
