← Back to context Comment by iLoveOncall 4 hours ago What is "cutting by 40x" supposed to mean? 5 comments iLoveOncall Reply charles_irl 4 hours ago Cutting latencies by 40x! Unfortunately couldn't fit the whole title in the character limit :< aaronblohowiak 3 hours ago How can you cut latency by more than 1x? I am no intending to be snarky, it just doesn’t fit my brain how you can reduce a measure time by more than the original starting time. aaronblohowiak 3 hours ago Put differently, 1/40 is not the same as 1x - 40x. I’d phrase as Reduced by 97.5% or 0.975x bfeynman 3 hours ago probably just AI slop and using wrong semantics, they mean speedup ratio. 1 reply →
