Are you joking? If anything, they'll use even more memory by shoving 8B LLMs in every single app.

"Look, you're being a pessimist. Yes, over half of the airplanes we make kill everyone on board. But you're really NOT focused on the planes that kill only 75% of the crew and pass…

Given the power and cooling requirements, and the underlying techniques used for LLMs right now, I think 'for now' is going to be quite a few years. Maybe a decade plus. Plenty of …

Given my ChatGPT and friends experience has been one of overwhelming frustration due to incorrect information, I would say Math Academy is in an entirely different galaxy. ChatGPT …

You... You realize that they could just have two tests in a drawer, and they give one to black people, and one to white people, including reporters and federal officials? Why are y…

Oh yeah, I remember the old StumbleUpon browser extension from the early 2000s myself! Good times.

It would be intensive but it's very doable. You could use koboldcpp or something like that with an exposed endpoint just on the local machine and use that. You'll likely run into i…

I too thought this might be about growing a cereal crop, possibly in a space habitat setting. My hopes, dashed yet again...

Sorry everyone, but this doesn't pass the smell test for me. Over half of their citations are for research that's 20-40 years old, and their more contemporary citations are from pa…

I wonder if it's the same mechanics as Zen Buddhism but from the western angle. When do we do our best thinking? When we're not.

Right, and the ones who are best able to figure out regulations are, of course, the businesses themselves!! Look how well that's worked out for the financial sector. Nothing but go…

The article mentions Rippling as still having that 'spark', but they've been pretty awful the past few months. Between layoffs and data loss, it's looked pretty dire when I've talk…

X-isms

I was interested in the authors views until it became clear this was an excuse to publish his 1950s attitude towards gay and non-western people.

If this article was written in the 1950s, the author would be blaming people of color and "that damnable civil rights act". I don't think this author is coming from a place of good…

Be careful with this method, lest you learn enough of the truth to be a threat to your manager or the company.

I want to like this article but I think it really underplays the nature and (modern) frequency of black swan events. If I were to take the advice of this article in 1994, I would b…

"And another thing, employees keep using up a full allotment of oxygen every day. Consider half portions or cutting breathing gasses out of the budget entirely."

I've just gotten into this hobby and the pivots on these watches are around the 0.01mm range with the individual teeth coming in around that size too. So might be that 0.1mm brass …

Since we're all chiming in here, I thought the story was about coping with pressures and life, and uses the puppeteer as a stand-in for multiple, nebulous "whats" or "whos". I thin…
